Within My Heart Poem by Lynn W. Petty

'Within my heart there is a place, Where you, a living memory, Reside with all your pleasing grace, And shall through out eternity.' wonderful sentiment, I love the enduring eternity of this thought

you reside there with pleasing grace. very nice expressions. so much of love and passion expressed in simple and short verses. thank you. tony

Lies the muse of love. Nice work.

Lynn, i'll grab this itty-bitty one for Section B of December's showcase. let me know if you want it back! i've been on a Bullet Train in Japan, but never on a Quatrain. i guess your heart must, therefor****, be eternal. interesting thought! or were you exaggerating? ****did therefor look funny to you also, Lynn. well, you probably would never have made my mistake, which is shown by my Google 'research': Well, therefore means 'for that reason' or 'consequently' or 'thus', whereas therefor without the E just means 'for that' or 'for it'. Whereas for therefor without the E, a good sentence would be: “The applicant must submit the application form and any supporting documentation therefor in two weeks' time”. bri :)

living memory and pleasing grace. use of words and coining it to make it ever lovable. that is poetic..... thank you. tony

Within my heart there is a place, Where you, a living memory, Reside with all your pleasing grace, And shall throughout eternity. - - - - - - - - Beautiful! ! So profound in so few words.

Profound feelings elegantly encapsulated with a wonderful command of the language. Great lines! A work of an intricate mind. Thanks for sharing Lynn.

One lives in memory, and you're lucky to have got an eternal love :)

gee, i read this and commented last year, but i read it again and see i did not mention earlier that i think throughout is more proper than through out. in fact i'm not convinced that through out is ever proper. is it? ? ? it sounds like throw out. bri :) i've noticed several 'british-influenced' poets breaking up words e.g. some thing, not something, and else where, not elsewhere, in cases where i would NOT use two words for one. you weren't raised in U.K. or India, were you? well, more importantly, it is THE THOUGHT which counts in the poem. what a lucky gal!

With all your pleasing grace you reside and remain in me all through the eternity. very fine poetic expressions. short and sweet. tony
