Wise Men Truly Love

Wise Men Truly Love

Found myself finally at last
Out from dull and dingy past
Life crept by in front of my eyes
True love is only known by wise.

A globe so lazily spins upright
Sun by day and moon above at night
Caste their glow down upon this land
Wood's green trees and white beach sand.

Many people are friends but a few foes
With slanting stabs and cutting blows
Merciless shame and much cunningness
And joys of life these things they miss.

Guiding light is there before my feet
That shows way to the judgment seat
My own master won't be and am not
My God always to me means a lot.

Search will do and is what we must
Looking around sifting through dust
To find her how hard continue to try
Thousand deaths for her you would die.

She is only answer you ever will know
Because God Himself has told you so
Wise, fine men love but fools rush in
Which is why I know I will always win.

James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran

You could really call it iambic pentameter and hexameter which is about all that I learned in high school. Will Rogers, Robert Frost and Ogden Nash are my favorites. Who are your favorites? Jim Horn
