My Beautiful Things
I’ve relished the view from mountains so high
that I could have touched the crest of a cloud.
I’ve measured His stars while I wondered why
no earth bound splendor was burnished as proud.
I’ve been accosted by scented flowers
their petals perfuming my humble sighs.
I’ve been mesmerized for many hours
by changing hues in a pair of green eyes.
I have heard the choir of a cooling wind
as it chased through the leaves of Sago-palms.
I’ve been forgiven ever now and then
for my vulgar taste, and social cons.
I’ve suffered the chill from the Arctic North.
Braved desert sun so hot it could kill.
I’ve piloted through life’s miss-mapped course
to feed my passion and find my thrill.
I’ve cradled newborns a son and daughter
and helped guide them too maturity.
I’ve cherished both my mother and father
and will grieve their loss for eternity.
I’ve taken note of my many mistakes
for all I’ve hurt, goes my apology.
From the depths of my soul this vowel I’ll take
to forgive each one that discouraged me.
