If Only I Could Give To You My Best

If only I could give this world my best, harbored in this port of call of restless desires deep inside a ship in raging foam, I’d find a way to make my way back home. Digging deep into my sleep and slumber, never more would I ignore the wonder of sunrise colors painted on the sky, or seeing your perfection through these eyes. Peering past tomorrow’s whispering Titans calls, to hear the ring of angels sing for all lifting you above the dew and dreary, weightless and devoid of feeling weary. To pass God’s gift from underserving lips, to stranger, lover, friend, who may begin finding solace, meaning, that does prevail, would fill my cup and lift me up in sails. If only I could give to you my best, I’d pray that every day brings happiness to you and those who love you like a rose, the scent of all your goodness, I suppose.

Such lovely sentiments you have expressed all through the poem ! The very desire to be a fountain of joy to others, to love the creator of this beautiful universe and not to waste time ignoring the manifold wonders, nature offers - they in themselves are greatly commendable. Lovely poem dear Terrel

Dear Valsa, thank you for unexpected late-night surprise visit and wonderful, undeserved review. Reading your comment this morning caused me to rethink the poem and add another verse (2nd from the last). Thank you for prompting this much needed addition as without you it probably never would have happened. Proving...we're all connected. God bless, Terrell

Thank you, Bill. I sincerely appreciate your honest critique of this poem - first attempt at writing a "Heroic Couplet." It was a challenge to hit the iambic meter in each line as well as find the words to keep it flowing. Not my finest work but glad you approve. Thx again, Terrell

Excellent poetry, Terrell. Your imagery and deep thoughts allow the reader to feel the love you have others and your desire for others to have your best wishes in their lives. Very engaging and moving poem, my friend. I'll start following your poetry and will be back soon to read more. Have a good day. A poet friend in Texas, Bill
