I am, sad to say, a recent admirer and writer of poetry. Most of my life I just didn't get it. And then out of no where, I met possibly the most special person of my life. She read to me some of the many many poems she had written and suddenly it just clicked for me. She is extremely talented and I am very proud to say that she brought out the poet in me. Since then, I've written a total of 12 poems with plans to write many more. Including a children's book of poetry about God and faith.
I don't claim to know everything
Far from it, as my life has shown
But throughout my journey on this rock
Memories reveal how much I've grown
...
A new year has come
What great things will it bring
Let's see if I can for tell
But at least one possible thing
...
Clouds of despair
Hang heavy in the air
Arms of darkness closing in
Part of my heart missing again
...
Happiness is not a wish
Made over a candle or a star
But a choice to be made
Here and now not from afar
...
