Emile Pinet Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

 

Light As a Feather

God granted me my most ardent prayer
I couldn't have hoped for anything more.
The sun spun golden glints in auburn hair
to crown an angel's face that I adore.

When we met, I knew we'd be together
my heart was racing and wouldn't slow down.
And I felt giddy, light as a feather,
like my team won... and I scored the touchdown!

Through the years, skin wrinkles and hair fads grey
and yet, beauty is filtered through the heart.
And the love we share sustains us each day
only death can ever force us apart.

Love means much more than wanting to be there,
it's a lifelong commitment two hearts share.


(Sonnet)

Eve Roper February 20, 2020 at 9:59 PM Emile, congratulations on your win. Growing old together is a wonderful thing; we still see each other as we were when we first met. I just can't get over it. God gave us blinders to see the changing of our lives, but only the beauty of our souls. Enjoyed reading my friend. Hugs Eve Emile Pinet February 21, 2020 at 8:35 AM Thanks so much Eve, I appreciate your support my friend, Emile.
