Capricorn

C autious and adaptable
A mazingly deep 
P rosperity driven
R estless he can’t sleep
I ntelligent and forgiving
C ompassionate and down to earth
O rganized in times of need
R ebellious from birth
N ever giving up, in fact he takes the lead.

This would be a Capricorn indeed.





This was inspired by a comment from my friend Ivan Beresford. Thank you for the challenge.

This is real neat. I like the qualifications for the person. I like "compassionate and down to earth." This shows a person with understanding and patience. If you would also like to read some uplifting and inspirational pieces, check out my "2009 Best Christian Poetry Award" in the blog section, dated Sunday, May 10, 2009, regarding my book. The book also has some great Epulaeryu poems you'll love. Great job and God bless always! ~Joseph

I wish you were all, and the only Capricorn I knew. I could endure these traits better than I endured the ropes that strangled me before. Best of luck always
