Mark Koplin Poet Sonnet

We Do Belong

in the early morning right before dawn
today approaches yesterday is gone
our legacy builds be mindful of time.
make the most of your day let the sun shine

treat each day as if it could be your last
your future will one day become your past
plant your seed water it and watch it grow
your future now comes please stay in the know

educate and live pass on and pardon
put forward your best and tend your garden
maintain and deliver watch your brother
remember God's son love one another

take care of your sails and keep your mast strong
we will weather this storm we do belong

Robert Lindley March 26, 2020 at 7:00 PM Definitely a great message and true course to stay on my friend. A sonnet that speaks wisdom and gifts great pleasure to read, understand and know it counsels kindness, civility, empathy, mercy, truth and light. A fav-- and a gleaming gem too.. Mark Koplin March 26, 2020 at 8:19 PM Thank you so much Robert. That's very kind of you to say.

Charlie Smith March 26, 2020 at 9:39 AM Great messages rise above punctuation marks, well done Mark... Mark Koplin March 26, 2020 at 9:45 AM Thanks Charlie

Lin Lane March 26, 2020 at 9:21 AM You posted a sonnet, and you got it right, in form and message. Well done, Mark. So what if you don't like punctuation marks. I was once eliminated from a contest for omitting a comma. Trivialities are so inconsequential these days. Remembering God's message, delivered through His son is more important today than ever. Thank you for bringing it to attention. Mark Koplin March 26, 2020 at 9:28 AM I had comma's and periods but I took them out. I'm not sure why, just to be different I guess. Thanks
