Charles Messina Poet Verse

Can I Crack Open a Walnut - For You

Like a lost firefly my mind strays 
Concealed like a ripe walnut
My heart is shelled by enclosure 

Waiting to be cracked open... 
To be served on platinum trays 
For whom ever needs some exposure

 
My donation of hope and faith... 
Or perhaps you need just a little love 
If you need some, it's yours to take...to pull 

You may take as much as you need 
I am serving plenty for all 
Widen your fingers, grab a handful 

My friend, what is mine is yours 
My world just wouldn't be the same any other way 
After all, is life really life...without love 

Sharing and caring for one and for all 
I'll be cracking open walnuts...
Until I'm way high...up above

Panagiota Romios July 16, 2019 at 4:13 PM This poem is so clearly, my experience of you. You are loving and have integrity, I do mean you keep your word. Unusual in this world. You are a true human, not a flash in the pan...looking for glory. Love you! God Bless PR

CayCay Godwin July 16, 2019 at 12:00 PM Imagine a world where everyone felt this way - Eden would return! I know not the specifics of this contest but I know a heartwarming poem when I read one and, as far as I'm concerned, this could be and should be read from all pulpits some Sunday morning, maybe all Sunday mornings. All the best ... CayCay Charles Messina July 16, 2019 at 12:55 PM Wow, CayCay. If this comment doesn't make my day nothing will. How wonderful is this :) Thank you so much for your lovely words. Blessings my dear friend... Charlie
