POETRY COLLECTION

"Roads to Sadness"

Nothing is meant to last forever
Or so I have been told
Not love nor laughter -- not even music
Are safe from growing old

Our most precious and treasured gifts
Both given and recieved
Can be lost in a single heartbeat
This I did not believe

The heart of a man -- one single man
The words those eyes could speak
The voice I hear, even in sleep
It's comfort do I seek

His soul he gives to those of faith
His life expressed in song
What soon he would find out
Could it all be wrong?

The lives he touched; the children too
Were guided by his gladness
With every smile, those he saved from
Never-ending ROADS TO SADNESS
