Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

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

Richard Lamoureux November 25, 2012 at 5:56 PM Now I want to go and give my wife a big smooch! Richard Lamoureux November 26, 2012 at 10:24 AM 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.
