Candle In The Wind

There's an eternal flame of love
for Princess Diana,
a love that I can see.
A fire felt by the young, and old.
A burning fire
from affection deep within our souls.
Her tragedy crossed our path,
but a radiant feeling
in our hearts will forever last.
We must take time to see
that keepers of the flame
is what we must be.
She's a true legend who will outlive
the last fading light of the universe.
A lovely rose
who wanted so much to grow,
with enough radiance
to steel the show.
One single rose of beauty,
no other flower could compare.
A special woman
who showed the world how much she cared.
We should not forget Princess Diana,
especially since we've drifted apart.
The eternal flame of love
began at midnight,
a flame that will never burn out,
and will always remain in our hearts.

~TO MY POETIC FRIENDS~

I need to say something special
to each and every poetic friend,
before it slips my mind.
Each and everyone of you
is a jewel
in life's sparkling crown,
a rare and precious find.
Although our lives and homes
may change
as we grow from young to old.
I predict
that our friendship will never die,
for it shines like pure gold.
Never feel that you are all alone
on life's endless sea.
No mater what the years may bring,
you'll always find a friend in me.
Your poetic words are sweet, warm, and dear.
Words that tell me what is in your heart
when we share a laugh, a cry, and a dream.
Words that mean so much,
even though we are many miles apart.
I may never see an angel near
on sad and lonely days
to be my guardian light,
to lift my soul,
and help along the way.
But, I'm sure God hears our prayers
as he sends through heaven's door
someone who believes in us,
and that's what friends are for...

~~~A FLYING DOVE~~

There's a heavy veil of dreariness
that I see on this winter's day.
A dreariness
that saps all the hope and love I have,
leaving my life no longer gay.
With the bitter coldness
chilling my bones,
while gray clouds hide the sun
and wintry winds sing sad laments
as this new day has begun.
Sadness carpets all the world
as darkness takes its toll.
No vibrant colors can be seen,
for gray is the only color
that has covered everything.
Then all of a sudden,
appearing among the clouds
came a brillant golden ray.
A flying dove from that ray
turned the darkness into light.
