ECSTASTY
By Shirley Adley (USA)
How many petals of roses should fall,
to open the door of life to us all?
The golden leaves of autumn that fall to the ground
tells us life's passing, quick, look around.
But spring will come and with it hope to help us in our strife,
then and only then we'll know that this is truly life.
Take my hand and lead me down that narrow path you trod.
Let's build a life together around the love of God.
Where you go I'll follow till death makes us part,
but even then you can be sure I'll hug you in my heart.
For now let's walk together, talk together, lift our eyes above,
then and only then we'll know that this is truly love.
Show me all the loveliness of life there is to see.
The summer breeze will tease our hair and say,”Come play with me."
Count the many colours in the rainbow one by one.
Hold me close at evening as we watch the setting sun.
Murky Vision
By A Fish
Sent in by Ronnie Le Roux of Alberton
One day I awoke with a fright
Something dreadful had happened to my sight
My mind seemed to turn to gelatine
Because everything I saw turned to green
My Psychologist said there was no hope
I would just have to learn to cope
My doctor was fill with dread
He thought it was something in my head
My psychiatrist was even sadder
Said it had to do with my bladder
For myself I was not so sure
Desperately I sought for a cure
Suddenly from deep within me
Came a voice crying ‘ you can yet be free”
If someone will just change the water
You will again be able to see as you “oughter’
CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH SHIRLEY & RONNIE FOR TWO BEAUTIFUL POEMS!
