The OrphanA Poem by Gerry LegisterWhen the years of pleasure and joy has been withdrawn, we are unsure which road to follow, poor health takes us into a foreign home.
Abundances is not a promise to everyone, Live with joy today and love someone. Do you know the places we shall go? When we are not sure what form to follow. Natural incline is filled with swift
transition, Many personalities now demand action. Beyond the beautiful banks lies the
orphan. A Psyche in waiting on the abating
strand. To banish childish acts and nurse the
old, Maturing years that makes our wings fold. While we had moments of light humour, We sing and dance in spritely demeanour. Watch pretty blossoms flourish in the
garden Grow with crowds until the edge is
broken. Then looking around for all the branches, Only an Orphan is left to take the
chances. With softer shoes walked into status
decline, The symptoms of life are so hard to define. Evening silhouette faded into dreary
clouds Since only joy and triumph memory holds, Another nightingale dream begins to dawn,
Leave empty showers after rainbow
withdrawn. Welcome the Orphan into a foreign home, Drove back the fears and tears still to
come. Longing for someone to receive as a
friend And start the journey again to make
amend. But when opportunity comes upon tired
brow, The illustrious crown becomes too heavy
now. © 2016 Gerry Legister |
