LOVE
Lean on me for I am strong
I grasp the meaning of love
I am able to loan my strength
To pull from within and above
Hold firm with a desire
To fight this war with fire
Go forth, hold on to my hand
I will not fall, I will stand
Words so full of purpose
In sickness and in health
Love that goes the distance
Therein lies the wealth

Peggy Sharretts Poem
MIDDLEWAY
Fears of age allay
Growing older with each day
Comforted by an endless array
Of memories on display
Accept all the years
Of laughter and tears
Each passage becomes a pursuit
Which leads to an unknown route
No crossing ever a waste
Onward to the next embrace
Inspirit the will to roam
Down a winding path to home
A life interlaced with grace
No regrets not even a trace
With a smile upon my face
I’ve arrived to a pure place
Ready for what come what may
I have found my Middleway
With a happy heart I say
I can go or I can stay

Peggy Sharretts Poem
DANCING WITH GRACE
At times when the soul seems lost
You’re engulfed in troubled thoughts
Silently searching for a sign
Reaching for divine peace of mind
Grace has many blessings to share
In happiness or deep despair
You only need to be aware
Grace’s presence is always there
Grace caresses compassion
Floats fluidly with the wind
It wraps itself around you
Empowering you to mend
Grace extends a lifeline of hope
Offering a hand to help us cope
It echoes a healing symphony
A cadence of love and empathy
As your doubts are dissolving
And a smile brightens your face
Look around feel the blessings
You have been dancing with grace

Peggy Sharretts Poem
LINGER
Awake to the music
Awe inspiring sounds
Awake to the lessons
The wisdom all around
Awake to quiet moments
Even silence can be heard
Rejoice in the rhythmic lilt
Life resonates a hopeful word
Breathe deep the mystical force
Present in our daily course
Smiling with each breath you release
Enjoy the silent song of peace
Reflect your thanks through gratitude
Indulge in lulls of solitude
Witness life’s love story
Linger in its glory

Peggy Sharretts Poem
LADDER TO THE SOUL
Tapering tall trees of pine
Cathedral high to the sky
Soft shades of green soothe the eye
Captures the heart, melts the mind
Slender ladder to the soul
Do not think it’s just a tree
It’s a strong and mighty force
Bares the source to set you free

Peggy Sharretts Poem
MY FONDEST MEMORY
Walking and being still
All present I can feel
Awakened by the quiet sound
Of loves beauty all around
Shadowed path of filtering rays
Sunlight shining on the day
Wispy breezes gently blow
A soft wind mild and mellow
Heavens bursting of brilliant blue
Cotton ball clouds gliding through
The sky a feast for my sight
For my heart its sheer delight
River stream waters roll
Rippling, tricking sounds unfold
A large flat rock offers a rest
To relish nature at it’s best
The sound of silence has it’s song
A melody so sweet and strong
Lying on the rock in the sun
I listen to my companion
After a while it’s time to go
I open my eyes to quite a show
A joyful, colorful, endless shower
A hill of awakened wildflowers
Such tenderness creates a tear
A sense of wonder precious and dear
Thankful for this mornings foray
I’m satisfied and on my way
Venture this pulsing vibrant valley
Where life’s love song has no finale
My favorite Hermosa trail
Never fails to lift beauty’s veil

Peggy Sharretts Poem
THE MILKY WAY
Under a canopy of pastel blue
Soft feathered clouds passing through
Hovering was a white haze
To lessen the blaze of the rays.
Frothy smooth and dreamy
A sky rich and creamy
Nature unfurled the Milky Way
Creating a most delicious day
Through the sky it gently swirled
Into the dipper it whirled
Overflowing a steady stream
Of lithe luscious cosmic cream
Love’s spirit spilled over the top
So much love in every drop
Nourishing each and everyone
Warmed by the rising sun
Take some time for a brief gaze
Look beyond the lucent haze
Each new day is a special day
Drink the drops of the Milky Way.
