The World Poem by Valerie Dohren

The World

Rating: 5.0


Every day an open book
New pages on which to write
Round, round, and around it goes
The days then wax into night

Round, round, and around it goes
The days then wax into night
Every day an open book
New pages on which to write

Time moves on, the days pass by
The days then turn into years
Oceans ebb and oceans flow
Mankind will shed many tears

Oceans ebb and oceans flow
Mankind will shed many tears
Time moves on, the days pass by
The days then turn into years

All that is young soon grows old
And all that is old will die
Onwards and upwards reaching
For that magnificent sky

Onwards and upwards reaching
For that magnificent sky
All that is young soon grows old
And all that is old will die

All that is old will die …..

Nice one Val, Don`t worry, we won`t let your Crimson River burst, we are on the way with buckets to bail out the water

I think I fit into line one and two, but I certainly don't want to end up on line five. Nice work Valerie.

Succinct and emotional, powerful. But remember, where there is life there is hope.
