a lonely lass lived by the sea
her great comfort and joy
and all of it free
her friend ronnie rosella
knew how to live
gave her advice
found it pleasing to give
humans are tricky
it has to be said
flowers bring beauty
not tears or dread
take pleasure in animals
a gift from God above
we can learn a lot from them
they know how to love

this poem
is written for
darling marmalade boy
without whom my life would have been
empty
Awwwww, I love this. The critters definitely know how to love. And the glory of the ocean - free for our delight - is a wonder. Thanks for these fine lines, Rall.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with taking pleasure in animals!
ReplyDeleteThis lifted my spirits.

ReplyDeleteI am glad you have flowers and marmalade boy - happy New Year to you - Jae
ReplyDeleteI had almost 20 happy years with Marmalade Boy. He is still with me in spirit and can never be replaced . Still got my cactus, herbs and occasionally flars:)
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful new year gift of words to us Rall. Thank you. Wish you a very happy new year.
ReplyDeleteYes to the sea. Yes to the animals, especially the cat. Yes to the flowers. Yes to the humans who have learned how to be true. Happy New Year to you!
ReplyDeleteNature brings us such joy. May we take it in, hold it, let it teach us to be better humans
