Moments A moment passed, a moments time, They mint within my mind like thyme. Some are pungent and some are sweet But good or bad they all repeat. They waver and flavor in my thoughts Visioned with pictures time had caught Lay and portray in endless display Phenomenons of a past array. They focus essence in theme and dream Always changing a little I mean. Some tend to pour like pools of honey And others pour in smiles and funny. They sustain me in my times of need They pay me back in kind and deed. They are the savings of my leisure, And the measure of my treasure. Each moment sown in time a gem, Make the settings worthy of them. |

You described this well! I know just how it is to have the good and bad moments repeat themselves~mine often do. ------------------ Nail to the mast her holy flag, Set every threadbare sail- And give her to the god of storms, The lightning and the gale! -Oliver Wendell Holmes |

Seymour - Your poetry just whisks me away to places I've surely been ... but never with such flavor. You are masterful in rhyme. ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

'Tis you that inspire most, my friend For you I picked up golden pen And wrote a verse that's very true Of a golden poet, and that is you Elizabeth |

Sy, By gold I certainly do mean worth The aesthetic worth of poetry And the Richness of the verse And the value it has to me And the wealth of your wisdom The beauty of your soul The beauty of the person you are Worth much more than gold Elizabeth |

Sunshine, Each moment sown in time a gem, Make the settings worthy of them. *L* Ohme, Remember each moment a gem, Thank you. Nan, You picket out the best of the best of the bunch *L* Elizabeth, You know my wife is the realist And I the idealist. If I only could borrow a little of you And put it in a stew. We could eat our way to an earthly heaven Heaven, heaven, heaven. |
