Look Around Virginia Salter I look around young couples smiling, playful sporting children happy times find myself hoping hoping for their success wondering wondering, will they make it will their smiles fill their days overthrow the tears overturn the years where pain ‘tempts enter in will wisdom win when doubt clouds their vision when moments of derision fester in their beings will their own hope be a victor when some part of world tries to sever the gold they hold in their love a prayer issues from my heart that what God did will to start let not man rend asunder through the thunder of his ways that a balm of blessing shall bring a caressing that soothes the beings that they be preserving their eternity © August 12, 2000 |

Virginia...... I'm with you on this one.....the poem is wonderful, and the subject is, too. Let's hope that the good percentage of these young couples are lucky in love!! The world will be a better place for it.....  ~~~ enjoy yourself ~~~ it's later than you think! |

You've a nice rhythm to this piece, Virginia. Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

The words you all have given have blessed me greatly and broadened the joy of the message in this poem. You have deepened my joy in the hope I carry for our world and its families, its people. |
