James Horn Poet Couplet

Stood There

Stood There

Stood There on that very same shore
To see husband well worth waiting for
Who no longer will be here anymore
Dear one who I did love and adore.

Stood There when his ship had sailed
And return back to me again it failed
Now by me could no longer be hailed
By exploding bombs it was impaled.

Stood There forever and another day
After his gallant ship was blown away
Don't want to leave and always stay
Pictures and medals are on display.

Stood There while waiting for the tide
To change and also sad feelings inside
Of me with eyes which are open wide
Full of teardrops as I cried and cried.

Stood There and more I Stood There
For me, why was life not always fair
A moment together wish we can share
But God has him in heaven up there.

James Thomas Horn
Retired Veteran and Poet
My dad did die at sea in an accident
while on the CVA-11 Carrier Intrepid.
Send me a response so I will know 
who is reading my poems. Thanks.

Angie Thomas July 13, 2015 at 1:30 PM a beautiful, touching poem that had me gripped from start to end... I loved it. :) James Horn July 13, 2015 at 1:44 PM Angie, It just naturally flowed out. The more you write the more natural it becomes. If from you poems are flowing, they will always keep on growing. How did you find my poem? Jim Horn
