Nette Onclaud Poet Couplet

Eleven Octobers

Precious is October as it bestows
An eternal promise that deeply grows,
Relishing  each hour with kindness and grace
Warmed by caresses of a sweet embrace.

Whenever moon pales, night’s laughter is found
Erasing fear when  trials come around—
Your open  arms, in rain, I lean on to
Like a harbor safe till dawn blossoms anew.


And by kindling one dream, all thoughts...we dare
Travel life’s  road with a godly prayer
Draped by love, each fiber,    a weave that lays
Upon October    more joyful these days:

Eleven years,  you still reign in my soul
A wonder rare...    a blessing I extol!
