Notes About The Poem

Up Above



  The day dawns crisp and bright, the sun rising,
  And day after day time repeats again and again;
  Over and over each day rises, beauty unfailing,
  I have dreams where there is no sorrowful pain.

      Days sweetly unfolding,
          Where love is dwelling; 

               And the sadness rests.
  I recall all my paths the sad and the best,
  In my springtime youth all days were endless;
  Now each is precious, beloved and quite priceless,

And with each new dawn I thank the Almighty, up above.

A favorite poem of mine, right here! You have such a miraculous gift of choosing only the most beautiful, elegant words. Another thing I have to say about this specific write... Omg! Is this not the truth? Wow! My thoughts exactly! Time is such a strange thing! I swear, years of my childhood equal decades of my adulthood. It seems like it should be the other way around! A 7!
