Sonnet, Loveliness Gives… Poem by Peter S. Quinn

Loveliness gives and much it takes
And brings out the best of each legacy
Bequest nature's feelings to put them free
A seed of the heart timelessly wakes
Its beauteous beauty is all there to teach
The flowers in bouquets to give and use
And some profitless conquer to fall and lose
When too great is its amount to bring and reach
So much of our sweetest self does deceive
And pointlessly goes forward each to find
It acceptable then sums into its grieve
For love is long gone and has left you behind
Your unused beauty is there to befall
When times are rightful in each their call
