JohnToporek Poems

The education of a man is far more than from schools,
his influence and power are the things that make the rules.
The wealth attained throughout his life cannot describe his worth,
the time he lives of no concern or value to this earth.
...

When is the perfect time to go,
neath scorching sun or frigid snow,
while there is dew upon the grass.
When is the perfect time?
...

When I was twenty-three years old,
Our family seemed so large back then,
The picnics were confusing times
Though everyone was friendly.
