5495 Never to Depart 26 June 2006 A broken heart a shattered soul All left out alone Her beauty hidden behind eyes of sorrow Broken promises clasped to her breast This child and its mercy seeing freedom An angel, a six figured star her emblem of triumph, over cross An emotion, a dimple to her frown her smile pleasant, yet undecided As flowers of magenta gather in her soul A lovingness neither lost her hope gathered to His heart This man called Jesus her Christ never to depart “A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.” Psalms 23: 1-6 KJV © 2006 Christopher W Herbert (a New Zealand Poet) a poet who cares |

5 minutes to write one poem, and a lifetime of joy to another person, or for 100's to enjoy. Thanks for your kind words a poet who cares |
