Warning – Soppy Girlfriend Poem Below

For My Shannon

My lovely Shannon was sent to me,

a shining star that I should see.

Set above the world so high,

How could she look me in the eye?

~

Sent from the Lord that I should know,

One made for me so love will grow.

Your broken angel, undeserving,

You my Lord, we’ll keep on serving.

~

How could she love one such as me?

Yet may it last through all eternity.

I promise Father to love her strong,

For you my Lord are never wrong.

~

I’ll love with every breath I’m given,

With all my heart and all my livin’

I’ll love her ‘till the day we go,

Through Heaven’s gate, Lord make it so.

Cave

They prayed to the stars,

they prayed to the night

and they prayed to the moon above.

He could give no help,

he could give no light

and he knew he could give no love.

They walked to the east,

they walked to the west

and they walked to the northern shore.

They looked for the heavens,

they looked for the hills

and they looked for the moon once more.

Companions

Frozen earth and clouded heath,

hides its dwellers far beneath.

Through treetop canopy is sighted

a foxtrot of pansies are delighted.

Rolling fog does now reveal,

beauties vision here to feel

a companions warmth beside.    

Closer now does she ride.

The Mirror

Upon a shattered mirror we rode,

we rode the seven waves high.

Upon a shattered mirror we rode,

we rode into a moonlit sky.

Upon a gulls call we turned,

we turned into a starry night.

As the gull screamed and banked,

we turned into the scattered night.
