Ten Poems That Define Me

Shall I write of poetry, back in time - 1964, door of my very first rhyme lined. https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/the_shine_of_autumn_sun_715080 In darkness and in light - ever seeking the lessons the why and life. https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/paint_a_picture_black_and_gray_838435 God and nature, ever wrap around me and I am forever grateful and faithful. https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/gods_garden_763676 Having found love, i clutched it tight, never letting go, oh fleeting youth delight. https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/i_remember_love_725043 My father, wild in his ways traveled thru the life he made but never stayed. https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/hush_now_sailors_child_885428 My youthful heroic love, drafted back in the day, and others lost to wars folds. https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/a_soldiers_fall_839216 The love of my life shared and gone too soon, living still in memories swooned. https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/still_the_one_1059937 The constant struggle of faith, youth to senior years, continues to hesitate. https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/prayer_for_our_times_728134 Always looking for someone else, just to find myself. https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/faces_and_mirrors_708801 For beauty, for light, inspiration is my deepest light. https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/a_dozen_roses_1004568 So difficult this task, especially when ten is all you ask, but the challenge is met, maybe not the best, and yet, it is me revealed within this test. The shine of autumn sun lingers into Paint a picture black and gray, slipping thru God's garden on display, where indeed, I remember love. Hush now, sailor's child as A soldier's fall yet remains Still the one in a Prayer for our times to see Faces and mirrors blessed with A Dozen Roses of poetry confessed.
