Memory

Daughter Aris and I

 

The world has riches oh so rare

but shares them only with a few

What I love is worth so much more

         they are recollections of you         

 

I need so few of this world's goods

having all your thoughts, ways and deeds

They lift my soul to the heavens

where I plant love's garden of seeds

 

Through your eyes I have seen wonders

so numerous I can't count

But oh such beauty none the less

before God I could not recount

 

What need have I for coins of gold

they can't buy what my eyes can see

My treasures lie within your smiles

stamped in the mint of memory

Dear Lord, this was so beautiful I swear it touched my soul. Every line is like a burst of overwhelming beauty the not only encourages but pushes and tugs at the reader to read on and crave more. Honestly, I was breathless by the end of it, my eyes were absorbed by each word as was the rest of being, reading this was an experience I wouldn't mind having a few hundred times more. Thank you for sharing.

CHILDREN ARE INDEED INSPIRATIONAL
AND MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD!

[MJ Durston]

That's beautiful. I have no children, so I won't even try to pretend I understand. Nonetheless, I have a mother and I love her, and I know she feels exactly the same. The Rhyming went well, rhythm or flow could have been a little bit better, generally when it's misplaced there are too many syllables in a sentence.

Cheers though, You're children and poem are beautiful.

Keep Writing,
Melissa.
