The Little Things

Summer's hold begins to wane.
Fall approaches, the leaves fall way
The canopy above, ever so thin.
Allowing the sun to shine once again.
Winters breath is but a moment away
Falls beauty it grows 
With each passing day 

Birds joyfully sing with dawn's first light
Embracing they swoon, 
Wondrous the sight
Like natures beauty, you bloom from within
You're heart so strong, remaining 
true to the end
Never waining in your beliefs, for always being true
I pledge my life, my heart to you.

So embrace my love, reach out with both hands
Hold it abreast as long as you can  
For a love so true, a life time some wait
Please fall in my arms, it's never too late
I will love you forever and treasure each day
For these gifts God has granted , I can never repay.

Terry,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@"
