Andrew Fairchild Poet Sonnet

Sonnet 14 'My Heart Sees Beauty Daily Pass Me By'

My Heart sees beauty daily pass me by,
And does not grieve nor stop to make lament,
For I have in my Heart a single eye,
That makes me know that all my love is spent
Upon the One whose face I carry still,
Which illness, fate and fortune cannot mar,
I see her Beauty reign when she is ill,
And my Heart’s bruises set a higher bar.
I must learn how Love tenderly caresses
The face of pain, disfigured by estate.
I must find my way up out of the ditches
And never curse, but bravely bear Heart’s fate.
For I have seen the throne of Beauty reign,
It has done so before, and will again.

Connie Marcum Wong January 3, 2019 at 1:08 AM This poem is outstanding Andrew! You have mastered the sonnet form, something many find such a challenge. This is a divine romantic poetic offering Andrew! I loved it! It is very nice to meet you. A belated warm welcome to Poetry Soup! Aloha, Connie : ) Connie Marcum Wong January 5, 2019 at 4:20 PM I knew about it Andrew. It is sad he would not take credit for his work, but he may have valued his privacy more. Andrew Fairchild January 3, 2019 at 2:58 AM I thank most his example and help, Sir Francis Bacon, who wrote as Shakespeare (a little-known fact because he hid himself). Praise God! that we have all been given poetry! Aloha! to You! Very nice to meet you, as well!
