Robin L. Gass Poet Quatrain

River of Blessings

On a cold November day I sat beside you
to let you fill me with your crystal charm.
To my surprise I saw a lonely traveler
instinctively I knew he meant no harm.

Approaching me with care he closed the distance
although he seemed a million miles away.
He asked so sweetly just to sit a while
with gladdened heart I bid him please to stay.

He spoke his words of praise to me about you
recounting all the beauty that you hold
and I was blessed with joy that has no boundaries
because he chanced upon your banks of gold.




*To the Brownings, such a loving pair.

Keith Bickerstaffe December 20, 2008 at 8:52 PM The only way to resolve it is to confront the person directly... perhaps you have reservations doing that, but once your friend knows your feelings, and that you're being candid and honest, there should be room for reconciliation... Love, Keith

Keith Bickerstaffe December 20, 2008 at 8:20 PM Touching... such lovely sentiment and phrasing. Devotion becomes you... you should write more. God bless, Keith
