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
