Margaret Foster Poet Rhyme

Separation

Separation

My love has flown across the world
His fortune there to find
And though he kissed me long and hard
I still am left behind.

For me he’ll send, he promised me.
His promise from the heart
But as I stand on this dark shore
We’re many miles apart.

Then as I gaze on this grey sea
And gulls wheel high above
A rainbow reaches out to me
He’s sending me his love.

Now here with patience I must wait
For happy days to come
When I will fly to that far land
And we will be as one

Edward Ford February 20, 2010 at 9:25 PM That poem leaves me neary speachless Margaret for years ago I met a young lady visiting from Great Britain, we fell in a sort of love and had a similar experience, the irony of it is when I called her and told her that I was ready she was at the airport on her way to America when she met the guy she eventually married, another of the great tragedies of my life; Thus I write what I know as for the poem, Amazing and I feel you. Sang=) =( The moral people is life does not wait for us take it now.

Hyle Chu February 20, 2010 at 5:28 PM I've had these feeling before: separation and the hope of reuniting. Distance and time are cruel instruments to test our love by.

Carolyn Devonshire February 20, 2010 at 10:21 AM Although it's difficult when we feel left behind, I really like the way you found his love in a rainbow. Such a gift cannot be purchased, only conveyed through God's hands. Beautiful writing! Love, Carolyn
