As life ticks away: So quickly it flys Remembering a toddler, Now this adult man Having seen the world, Experienced so very much Camping in the redwoods, With relatives so dear Swimming in that river, So fresh and unpolluted Then my teens, So wondrous and pure A drummer and singer, In many rock bands Band leader in own, So young at sixteen My high school sweetheart, First love forever remembered I met her then, Later became my wife Before I turned 21, A terrible sadness came Called Viet Nam, Many friends lost there Then later a divorce, So nearly killing me At that time, Wished that it did Now older, Yet young in heart Also in mind, I've found my Creator He won't abandon me, Of this I'm assured No longer in love, With mere earthly things I just look around, Seeing my new brothers, My lovely new sisters Joined together in poetry. © Copyright 2001 Robert William Gruhn - All Rights Reserved |

*sigh* you have touched my heart to tears with this poem....so filled with joy...than sorrow...than hope....Sir Robert you took me through many emotions but the one that remains is my awe at the man you are and the wonder of your beautiful words. **big hugs**   Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Poetry awakens that inside of us that is emotive, caring and loving. Writing is a gift. Enjoyed. Kathleen (Kay) |
