Kathleen Callaway Poet Rhyme

A Solitude of Praise

Waves and winds comfort me
 As I toss in fitful dreams.

 The universe covers my head,
 Sand gives my bones a humble bed

 Oh, how much I'll fill this spot,
 With all the memories I've got!

 And tell this place how much I care,
 Of loved ones, whose souls I've shared. 
         
 While seeking life in all its scope,
 Their why I'll hold fast to hope.
 
 A world for food, one for delight,
 Morning, noon and in the night.
 
 Each day when I say my prayers,
 I'll thank God who truly cares.

 Then count my blessing on earth,
  A task too easily I've shirked.

Then count my blessing on earth, A task too easily I've shirked...We all do shirk this from time to time for we get to taking things for granted..Sara Kathleen Callaway March 12, 2015 at 6:55 PM I appreciate you taking the time to leave this:) Kathy
