Dana Redricks Poet Crystalline

Author Dana Redricks

By and by I look 
Toward the sky and think 
About the seasons as they 
Go by, Just like the 
Seasons we all have our 
Turn to say goodbye. 
We were never meant to 
Stay, and just like the 
Season we all have our 
Reasons in this world. With 
Each passing day we have 
A mission to fulfill; it 
Is our destiny, some of 
May never know our purpose 
In life, but each of 
Us was put here for 
A reason, and in due 
Time and in due season 
I hope to learn my 
Reason because it is good 
To have a purpose.

As for now, I will greet you with the same smile, others passed, when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your compositions. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you wish. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND" Hugs* SKAT Dana Redricks September 14, 2014 at 8:18 PM Hello thank you Skat for reply; I first became interested in poetry in the 8th grade, and I started writing my own poetry. I hope someday to publish my own book, but until then I just want to get out there; my life's journey has been a difficult one, but I'm a survivor.
