Another poem for your relaxation. For Your Eyes Only To Josephine and her 35 ft statue of Virgin Mary at her uphill estate On the mountains and valleys Here, nature wonder lies with grace Overlooking the vast pacific ocean It's magnificent God's creation Where serenity and divinity reign. It's one of wonders of the glove A Shangrila in a modern world Love, peace and happiness you surely will find Among the flowers and foliage so devine. Ah heaven, so near yet so far away But I hear the angels sing solemnly And the blue sky beaming gracefully. And there Mother Mary standing tall and stately With eyes staring at me. My soul touched and eyes misty. How magnificent she is, isn't she? M. P. L. (copyright 2006) aka swany
Swany Poetry brings to the surface our inner most feelings and at times of joy or saddness it fulfills a desire to express ones emotions in words. Thanks for sharing this. best wishes john (Look up Helen Steiner Rice)
A friend gave me this one it might appeal to JWL "Something of value" We met and we married a long time ago We worked for long hours when wages were low no TV no radio no bath times were hard Just a cold water tap and awalk round the yard No holidays abroad no carpets on the floors We had coal on the fire and we didnt lock doors Our children arrived,no pill in them days We brought them up without state aid They were safe going to play in the park And old folk could could go out in the dark No valium no drugs no LSD We cured most of our ills with a good cup of tea No vandals no muggings there was nothing to rob We felt we were rich with a couple of bob (pence) People were happier in those days Kinder and caring in so many ways Milkmen and paperboys would whistle and sing A night at the cinema was one mad fling We all get our share of trouble and strife We just have to face it thats the pattern of life Now I'm alone I look back through the years I dont think of the bad times the trouble and tears I remember the Blessings our home and our love And that we shared them together I thank God above
Hi guys, excuse me for my carelessness. On the second stanza above, First line:" It's one of wonders of the glove ", the correct word should be 'globe'. I'm sorry. Thanks for understanding. swany
