Can I Crack Open a Walnut - For You

Like a lost firefly my mind strays Concealed like a ripe walnut My heart is shelled by enclosure Waiting to be cracked open... To be served on platinum trays For whom ever needs some exposure My donation of hope and faith... Or perhaps you need just a little love If you need some, it's yours to take...to pull You may take as much as you need I am serving plenty for all Widen your fingers, grab a handful My friend, what is mine is yours My world just wouldn't be the same any other way After all, is life really life...without love Sharing and caring for one and for all I'll be cracking open walnuts... Until I'm way high...up above Tri-Con Poetry Contes Sponsored by Emile Pinet 7-16-2019

This poem is so clearly, my experience of you. You are loving and have integrity, I do mean you keep your word. Unusual in this world. You are a true human, not a flash in the pan...looking for glory. Love you! God Bless PR

Imagine a world where everyone felt this way - Eden would return! I know not the specifics of this contest but I know a heartwarming poem when I read one and, as far as I'm concerned, this could be and should be read from all pulpits some Sunday morning, maybe all Sunday mornings. All the best ... CayCay
