Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Eternal Writings

When our life's here has ended
our writings will still go on
what's been penned on earth
will hopefully be read after we've gone

All of us on AP should remind ourselves
what we've written may eternally speak
to those who come after we've gone
in this world whatever they may seek

Take heart when picking up the pen
you don't know to whom or even when
that piece you've written this moment
will speak with power now or then

The power we have in our hand
to bring into life's a real change
so keep the colourful ink flowing
spread it abound in all your range

(Just thinking of what could happen to our writings after we've gone)

Cynthia Buhain-Baello March 18, 2016 at 10:30 PM Yes so much truth in this poem. All our words (written or spoken) will weigh for us reward or loss. The best reward a writer receives is when his written work touches one person and makes that person feel better or inspire him to do better. Thanks for this very excellent write.~~~Cyn Gordon Mcconnell March 19, 2016 at 4:38 PM thanks Cyn, glad you liked it and so true in all you say. hope you're having good weekend, God bless, Gordon
