Poetry

I wrote this about 20 years ago and  have since lost interest in poetry. I'm hoping this will spark my interest again.

                                  My Son   Shirley Page

Such a sweet precious little boy
full of love flooding my life with joy
With sparkling mischievous eyes of brown
melts my heart and turns my world upside down

Such happiness he brings to me
This little imp who will soon be three
One day, I know he will be a man
but, for now, he is mine to love as much as I can

I'll watch him grow as years go by
laugh with him and console him when he cries
I'll enjoy his antics and cute little ways
for I know I'll be without him one day

When that day comes, God let me be strong
knowing I've done my best teaching him right from wrong
For the he must stand on his own
with only past experience and knowledge to rely upon

I'll still be here to help him if I can
for even though he's a full grown man
I'll always see him at the age of three
and love between this little imp and me.

                               God's Greatest Gift  Shirley Page

Such a pretty little girl
all dressed up with her hair in curls
looking like an Angel from above
blessed with sunshine, filled with love

So sweet is this child of mine
so gentle, tender and kind.
No words could ever say
the feelings within my heart today

God gave her to me as a treasure
a precious gift beyond measure
A gift of love to cherish my life through
filling my days and keeping my skies blue.

                         My Love    Shirley Page

You are the sun in my life bringing warmth and hope; the moon and stars shining with peace and beauty. The wind caressing my body with gentleness, the sea raging  it's tempest of desire within me.You are the tree I cling to in the storms of despair, the rock that holds me lest I fall when troubles are nigh. You are the very essence of love that eases my troubled thoughts and calms my doubts. This and so much more you are to me. All I ask is your love in return, for without you, there is nothing.

                             On The Beach   Shirley Page

We strolled along the beach
the sun and sand within our reach
the winds were calm, the skies blue
for love surrounded me and you.
 
But then the night came stealing
taking aways love's precious feeling
You left me for someone new,
proving your love for me untrue.

Now I stroll the beach alone
happiness for me has gone
Only memories linger now
of shattered dreams and broken vows.
