The Sign

A dumb man spoke without a word Through tired eyes that gently cared A blind man saw into my soul Whispered words yet unheard A poor man gave me sympathy Its all he had but it was free Follow the path you know thats true Life will be rich and so will you An old man spoke as if a child As into Gods eyes he then smiled This man I am young for a while Will try my best in lifes short time Sometimes to fail, but thats no crime He died but tried and left this sign I lived a life that was not mine Belonged to Death for all time.................!

A sign telling us that our lives do not belong to death but to serve a higher purpose? That is what I got from your words. Welcome to the soup and thanks for sharing. Steve

Today I have stopped back to read more of your excellent poetry Edward. I will be back again soon and hope to see some more poetry written here by you. If you feel it in your heart then write it as that is where the best poetry comes from. Love, Carol
