Rain Or Shine

R-ain or shine, serve God,
O-ctober thirteenth day;
S-unny or sullen, stay strong,
E-ither crimson or gray.

B-ad or good weather,
E-ver faithful you remain;
L-et not dark sadden you,
L-et light erase the pain.
E-ither vile or fine clime will never change your mind;
N-othing can make you shiver, steadfast, rain or shine.

You and I are running neck and neck even though I am 77 years old and married for 52 years. My how the time flies when you throw your watch out the window. You write so many poems that you probably only receive a few comments. I only receive a few myself. Have been on Poetry Soup since middle of 2013.

Those few comments though bring big inspiration to my soul as my heart and mind continue to share poems with this site since late 2016. I’m so thankful to all who have visited my page. Keep on writing, James.... You are one of the highly regarded poets on this site... Much thanks...
