Eileen Manassian Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Serenity and Peace

Serenity and Peace have come to me
these welcomed guests reside inside my heart
for "what will be, will be" I now can see
I am untouched by what will tear apart

for life is short and soon my time will end
regrets will not define my waning day
my hurt and pain to deep abyss I send
and choose to walk along the "Lover's Way"

my friends and loved ones see with crystal eyes
the woman and the child I am inside
their loyalty sees truth and no disguise
my heart I bare and dreams to them confide

Serenity and Peace have graced my soul
For Friendships true have made me strong and whole

Eileen Manassian

Jan Allison August 5, 2015 at 4:38 AM What a wonderful sonnet Eileen - wise words indeed and sadly life is all too short- in the space of 3 weeks I have lost 2 close friends and relatives :-( hugs jan xx 7 Jan Allison August 5, 2015 at 9:55 AM Oh Eileen I am so sorry - it puts it all into perspective:-( hugs jan xx Eileen Manassian August 5, 2015 at 9:06 AM I received news that a young man who was my student for two semester died in a car crash.
