Description:
Face the day
Oh summer's breeze, you lift my heart, and blow away my tears, while carrying off sore memories, of events in recent years, you brush the leaves, of old oak trees, and sweep the dust away, as fresh dew sparkles on the grass, to greet the break of day, help me to step on dewey ground, with head held high and strong, to face the future, greet the sun, though the days seem harsh and long. |

I think adding a "the" would help, so Your last line would then be "though the days seem harsh and long." | Posted on 2007-04-01 00:00:00 | by Ron Cole | [ Reply to This ] | This is another great poem, Lou! It is a perfect ode to facing the present and the future!! This just shows so much talent! Amazing!! | | Posted on 2007-03-31 00:00:00 | by Ron Cole | [ Reply to This ] | There's a sentiment for you. And no, my Olympic medalist status is pending their recognition of reading poetry as a world-class sport. I just lucked out on timing... | I like this piece; it's short, but it gets the idea across with little need for more. Keep that style, and you'll rule this place. --crimson echo | Posted on 2007-03-30 00:00:00 | by crimson echo | [ Reply to This ] | |
