A Sample Poem from
Heartstrings
written for a friend diagnosed with cancer
Thinking Of
You
You may feel
scared and angry
I'm sorry
this has happened to you
As your
friend I feel so helpless
I just don't
know what to do
Words cannot
express
The pain you
must feel right now
I wish I
could make it all better
I'm
sorry.... I don't know how
Just know
I'm always here for you
Call on me
night or day
If it's only
just to talk
Or kneel and
silently pray
If you need
comfort, lean on me
If you need
strength, hold my hand
Or if you
need to be alone
As your
friend, I'll understand
As we
journey down life's highway
The hills we
must climb keep us strong
But only God
will know
If our
journey will be short or long
With Love
Your Friend
Margaret
May you have
the strength and hope
to meet each
new tomorrow. |
A Sample Poem from
Newfoundland & Labrador:
Poetry, Interesting Facts and Me Mudder's Old Ditties & Sayings
Clothesline
You can tell a lot
about the people
By the clothes that
hang on the line
Flapping in the warm
summer breeze
Whitening in the bright
sunshine
How many children do
they have?
The ages and their
gender
Do they have a guest
stay there?
Are they heavy set or
slender ?
A young man’s shirt and
pants
And Poppy’s old wool
vest
Nanny’s good white
apron
A little girl’s frilly
dress
You can see a soldier’s
uniform
Hanging proudly on the
line
They’ll say farewell
to family soon
To fight a war of some
kind
Maternity wear lets us
know
There is a little one
on its way
Yes you can always tell
a story
By the clothing on
display |
