Darrens’s Garden of Eden

Click title above to link to the poem!

Never have the words Strength, Bravery, and Fortitude applied more than when I think of Darren White. He himself would say, meek, mild and week, and I smile as that’s often what the brave and bold say. Strength comes not from the sword, it comes from the heart, any man who has lost his sword and kept his strength will know this to be true.

Many a men possess vast amounts of knowledge and yet lack the wisdom to understand what they have learned never mind how to apply it. I will always choose the wise over the lords of knowledge, and yet there are times a man possesses both and humbly applies them to towards all things good. I may not be such a man, but I am sure of one thing, I have the vision to see those who are.

 

Dedicated to Darren White

Darren has so many gifts. They shine all the more because of the darkness they came through. This physical tribute in your home is just lovely. His poetry is so full of life experience for one so young. I imaging this little plot bursting forth in time to come, just as he will.

What a delightful hour I have spent, first with Darren, and then with Arthur's site, and without Poetry Soup, I would not have known about this lovely, lovely poetry.

Arthur.... Doesn't happen often, but I've forgotten how to write suddenly. I just don't know what to say! Thank you sounds so incredibly lame.... But you know me, we talk a lot so you know how I am feeling now. This made me cry and I just can't stop. I will read this again and again. I love you my friend. Thank you! <3
