Keep her through all vicissitudes of life, And let her know that peace which after strife Calms the spirit, and helps to smooth away All furrows from a brow, which toilsome day Has creased with ceaseless pain. And let Desire In attainment rest. Cool for her the fire That all unquenched has burned her tired soul, And let her know contentment that her goal Has been achieved. Grant that her work of years Though but commenced, be free from pressing fears. A heart's serenity through night and day... All these I ask for her throughout Life's way. And give to me the inward power to know The reason why such things must needs be so... These answered prayers may only place her far Beyond my reach as some dim, distant star. Yet when I stand alone in darkness clad, Give me the strength to say... That I am glad! |

Rex! "And give to me the inward power to know The reason why such things must needs be so..." Very beautifully written - as always - but alas! That hope will only remain a prayer for you - of that I am sure - There is no way you can know why these things needs be so.. at least I could never comprehend why. Deepak |

Rex, I feel that this poem is an ultimate expression of selfless love. Beautiful. Sandra Words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling, like dew, upon a thought produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions think. Lord Byron |

Rex, Still waiting for the book so, till then will have to look at the forums for your work, you never let the wonders lurk in corners dark, you set them free, it makes amazing poetry. Silliness from me Be well Lynne "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |
