James Horn Poet Couplet

God Reserved

God Reserved

It always is best to be involved
Before you die and are dissolved;
Writing poems in my life take the lead;
After you read them will have agreed.

Then was when I soon started to realize
My surprise would be winning a prize
And then to the fact became resigned;
God had put His poems into my mind.

Poet Laureate later will become one day
And when I die a wreath they will lay
In front of monument that they made,
As into past my presence started to fade.

High in heaven found a new habitat
For all of us humans and now that
After receiving earthly things I deserved,
A place in heaven for me God reserved.

James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran
