Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

Realize We All Have Gifts We May Impart

Realize We All Have Gifts We May Impart

To take flight with well splashed and flung ink
See and to live with hope, nod and a wink
Follow course through with a passionate heart
Realize we all have gifts we may impart
Unto others and pray that gives some aid
Again have cheer, hear music well played
Give and in doing so yet live life true
By giving, our fallen spirits renew.

Take flight, let our muse set the newfound course
That from world's darkness, we need a divorce
Hear that loud call from our Savior above
Fine the cheering warmth and hope that is love
Present ripen fruits from a healing tree
In so doing, from our chains become free.

Sonnet

Note: 1
Some verse born from a gift that was given
Thus found, hope and truth- new life worth livin'
In this chaotic world oft gone stark mad
Light vanquishing what was so very sad.

Note: 2
My friend, from your words a seed was planted, a new poem was born....
A godsend, into a world that has now been so ripped and deeply torn...
