My Beloved Wife

So like am I a grain of sand I compare my lifes own worth To all who were my ancestors sharing roots of each others birth

Rebecca and I

I am the little leaf falling

feeling but half my worth

No more to wave in the breeze

to heaven from this earth

 

I alone do think I dream

of the love I wish to live

I myself do think I want

much more than I can give

 

She sees in me what I cannot

making fast my hope and stare

She holds this heart with tenderness

her love lay everywhere

 

So like am I a grain of sand

I compare my lifes own worth

To all who were my ancestors

sharing the roots of each ones birth

 

As autumn falls upon my world

should the birds no longer sing

Will there be nothing left to give

but a prayer upon a wing

"Love you Mamma and Papa"

Author's Note

Whenever I think the best is all behind me I look to my blessings. There I see the joys of my wife and granddaughter and the hope they embody therein. Though there may be fewer days ahead than behind. It is quite evident they will be every bit as beautiful.

Thank you for the beautiful poem and photos.
"So like am I a grain of sand
I compare my lifes own worth
To all who were my ancestors

We are part of our ancestors and their faces and thoughts become our dreams and hope also. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

This is beautiful but I too feel the doom that is heading to knock on my door. The days of yesterday are many and some beautiful and some not but all remembered. I know there are many joys left to behold though. I look through child eyes when I view the world. Sometimes the horrors make me cry but the beauty I behold also makes me cry. One from fear and the other from joy. All I can think is will I be ready when doom comes knocking on my door. Great Poem Tate. I know where this one is coming from. I too feel the same at times.

[Tate Morgan]

Yeah you get ity alright like me thanks

"I compare my life my own worth to all who were my ancestor" in doing this one would probably discover just one significant difference that all acient folks were best at making sacrifice both in relationship,friendship,parenting and religion for those who had one though, than we of this modern age.

[Tate Morgan]

Oh i imagine if you read more of mine you will find I am no different
Thank you

[Renny]

I would find time to then, and thanks for the friendship request.

[Tate Morgan]

I've felt this way before and it's reassuring to see my thoughts replicated here. There is something very open and human about it.
