Keith D Trestrail Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Yvonne Phyllis Trestrail 1919 ~ 2019

A Life Well Lived

Long ago in the Carib isles did sow
  a seed - that fruit a laboured vineyard bears -
the blood of the vine born to earthly grow
  bore its mortal increase one hundred years.
Who, in that herald glory of God’s light,
  sought a divine kingdom this world apart,
alas there’s one less precious soul tonight
  in sacred prayer, and one less righteous heart.
And in that measure of self the years through
  were all earthly alms to God accorded,
for it was that anchor and grace of you
  that cared and loved, that lifted and lauded.
Go with my tender woe under the ground 
and rest in the eternal peace you’ve found.
