Poem Title:
Poem
From an early age she yearned for something great What it was she did not know, but she really couldn’t wait For many interests she had, both large and small Her love of animals and great friendships, she grew with them all An insecure father who controlled all around Was mitigated by mom until she was ground down All added to the general confusion we experience early in life But our values and strength of character help us with strife That we continuously face over our time on this earth Which produces some grit and grime that impedes our search For that pinnacle of happiness, whatever it is The finding for some is like taking a quiz On subjects we don’t quite understand With no guarantee to reach that promised of lands Of joy, contentment, bliss, all words that describe Whatever we believe is that ultimate ride Her journey is similar to many of us It’s good times and bad that cause a great fuss Her strengths are vision and commitment to move towards a goal Not letting “reality”, pain, or confusion take too great a toll Understanding that it isn’t just reaching the end But enjoying the journey and making sure you ascend To that place of places we all want to be Our true heart’s yearning, I think you’ll agree For her specifically, that is to say for my wife She’s given me all that I wanted in life A great family including kids, dogs, cats, horses, and then some And encouragement to go after a calling that was right under my thumb She’s a great friend, and remarkably so That I want her to have that additional glow That comes from achieving her ultimate heart’s yearning Making something out of nothing, using passion and life’s learning.
