Image result for pictures of John F. Kennedy when he had to stand on Crutches

In summer's red sunrise Shadows cast of golden yellow A time of day when dreams take flight All nature's sounds are quite mellow The dove's hollow voice, somber clarinet Against the mockers' noisy trumpet Now the sun rises higher, higher As one might slowly eat a crumpet One thing in life we can count upon Water will run to the lowest point Unless something designed by man Suddenly changes its viewpoint The rising sun cast its beams across the hill And then cast pecan tree's shadow Way out for so many feet it seems It could go on and on forever flow A shadow cast by a big man might seem grand But sometimes in life, he needs crutches to stand Remembering Former President Of The USA, John F. Kennedy

Though a man may reach great heights, his life may not be always sunny. Each one has his/her share of burdens to bear. A great poem remembering J. F. Kennedy, a great President of America, loved all over the world.

Thank you, Valsa, for dropping by and sharing your comments with us. It is so sad that his life was cut so short. It would have been nice to have witnessed what his full-term Presidency could have accomplished. Sara K

Sara, thanks for remembering JFK. The point you make that we're all human and subject to various issues should remind us all to enjoy each day for what it gives us.

Ooh love those final two lines. My Dad once waved to JFK and he waved back. My Dad pulled off road when he was driving through and accidentally beeped his horn. Lovely poem through and through!

Kim, I was thinking about JFK and remembering that he had some kind of really serious illness called Addison's Disease and I looked it up and found out that he suffered a whole lot from that illness. So nice that your father got to see him that close and wave to him and he wave back. Thanks for dropping by. Sara K
