A Catching Phrase

I try to write a catching phrase
One to coat a mental glaze
The nectar of a budding flower
With the aroma of its power

One that sticks within the mind
Neither shallow nor refined but
Leaves you in a thoughtful frame
And that is my only aim

A catch phrase that will set a rhyme
And stay beyond my living time
To fly the generations gap
Expand the boarders of knows map

That hits upon a common theme
That stays the same with common seem
A truth that flies above the bend
A little ways above the end

That is what I seek no more
A piece of shell around the core

A catch-phrase, this, is what I have,
a bonus poem, a touch of salve,
A ring of posies, all round and rosy
...you're posting late, but I'm not nosy...

You don't just try, my friend... you succeed... and your words stay with us just as your goodness does... something to hold onto in a hard world. *S*

"And that is my only aim"

It's a fine aim,
and I hope you never run out of arrows, Sir.
