About This Poem

Amazed

I'm amazed at the sun Shining brightly on high I'm amazed at the flowers The bright butterflies I'm amazed at the mornings With the coo of the dove I'm amazed at the charm And the power of love It transcends all the beauty This world has to give It's what makes us all whole A reason to live To bask in the warmth Of that feeling divine A feeling unrivalled Of true love undying All the great poets From Shelley to Keats Have tried to describe it How it makes us complete What a terribly sad place This earth would be Without someone special To share what we see I'm amazed at the mountains Majestic and tall I'm amazed at the love That we share most of all © Jack Ellison 2012

    I think I can handle it on my own, Thanks for the offer though Ha Ha ha. It's intresting how we can take different meaning from words that are written. I do know what you actually meant but it is fun to play with words.

    BRAVO! I think Cathie deserves a kiss from you after writting that one. Jack I think you've found your muse in her.
