Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

Shall We Seek Truth, Light and Heart's Golden Shield

Shall We Seek Truth, Light, And Heart's Golden Shield

A banquet of wine and cool summer breeze
in a year of bounty and fellowship fine 
Life gives fertile land and splashing blue seas
God's bounty and more treasures to dine.

Does not romance send its handsome treasures
A beautiful lady on which to woo
Heavenly nights and delicious pleasures
Spring sweet morning offering gifts brand new.

Mother earth spins around and sends bright sun
Blessing we should learn to appreciate 
So live with light and truth having great fun
For tis true too soon time comes we are done.

Shall we seek truth, light and heart's golden shield
Whilst we ever strive to evil not yield
