Dan Kearley Poet Rhyme

Splendor-Collab

In the dawn of life when splendor began
And our fears were not yet known
We walked with a love that shown from within
In a wonderful world all our own

Then came a time when love became fickle
Shame grew with a strength we never knew
And the love we cherished began to fall away
Grief and sorrow began forever holding true

Love we had became harder to hold
What little could be found since the start
If we could only go back to when splendor began
And the love glow that would shine from our hearts




A collaboration with my dear friend Elizabeth Wesley

Lionel Ledbetter December 24, 2011 at 5:24 PM Unconditional love: the love of a child; a little child - so meek and mild. God doeth attest: It's the only way, that his salvation comes into play. Enjoyed your poem.

Carolyn Devonshire December 14, 2011 at 11:34 AM Awesome, thought-provoking poem, Dan. You and Elizabeth write so well together that I couldn't tell who wrote which verse. It would truly be wonderful if we could return to a time before disappointment tainted our perspectives on life. Merry Christmas, Dan! Love, Carolyn Dan Kearley December 14, 2011 at 1:10 PM Thank you Carolyn :o)
