Poem Title:
Poem
(Dedication: For Don and Hollie) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here as we meet in space and time, Fond smiles now greet reason and rhyme, Gather most sweet in pleasant chimes. A banquet fare to gather round, To share fond cares in sensuous grounds, This moment wears good cheer that's sound. See how these years have brought fine blends, Times far and near have brought new friends, Life has endeared such blessed trends. A wise man said: "We end and start, Work and get paid; and meet fond hearts. Live journeys laid with craft and art." Yes time moves fast to weave things strange, "This too shall pass," speaks true of change, Fond feel outlasts a journey's range. When tough times call, let heart not mope, When darkness falls, let faith find hope, When life brings gall, let love fund scope. In joy we laugh as wit finds pun, In pain most rough we seek good runs, We live most tough and dance with fun. Each face wears poise to court fond fest, Each man greets choice to play with jest, Each soul gives voice to prime life's best. Fond memories unfold past light, True friendships stand to fill fond sights, Glimpse passing plans through days and nights. May our hearts be filled with good cheer, Truth binds beauty right now and here, Know harmony with love most dear. As banquet ends, we say goodbye, We'll miss our friends with heavy sighs, Grateful for trends that brought fond highs. May love and light bring peace of mind, May bold insights bring blessings kind, May fond delights be ours to find. Leon Enriquez 19 April 2015 Singapore
