Your beauty is beyond compare
the warming sun
loves holding you in its embrace,

The aqua blues that gently strokes your feet
with the cool waters
that refreshes and invigorates,

Your attire is of such fine fair
for the metamorphoses of the four seasons
in everything you wear,

Winter,
wrapped in your white virgin garment
your purity is there for all to see,

Spring,
brings out your lovely soothing greens
blending perfectly with all your accessories,

Summer,
dances with its warmth upon your skin
igniting a rainbow of hues
that mingles with all your greens,

Fall,
this is your favorite of all
the earth tone scarfs and sweaters that you wear
calm and subdue deep inside your soul,

Is there anyone else in the whole universe
that has your sense of style?
I think not,

I’ve always loved
looking upon my well- dress earth
she is the prettiest in the whole Universe.

I agree with Anna's suggestions on this one , and I have to say is this about your wife? cause if it is its beautiful that you actually see what your wifes wearing thats beautiful, shes a lucky woman ... love and hugz Jayne x x "We did not change as we grew older; we just became more clearly ourselves.

just returned to reality

I'm sorry I did not answer your comments, but on Aug 30, 2009 my brother Jeremiah was murdered. I lost myself in pain, hate, and revenge. Revenge called and I answered, now it's done. Am I a better man for it, I think not, but sometimes it's best to not think and just do. Thanks for your comments, Eddie

Eddie, my heart goes out to

Eddie, my heart goes out to you. I cannot imagine the cycle of pain you are going through, including the feelings of hate and revenge. Bless you and yours through a reality no one seeks. But for want of reason, happens. It's a mad mad world. Much love from Ohio, Anna

Mi sentido pesame. It's true, as you say, sometimes experiences like that make you or break you, depending on the attitude. You are here again, and that's good. I like the poem you've written, about our lovely earth. Thank you for sharing. And I hope to read more of your poems. God Bless. Sincerely, Hugo

It is good to see you sir, I did something I don't usually do, I read the comments before leaving one... I had some suggestions for it but Anna covered them all. I am so sorry to hear about your brother, my warmest wishes to you and your family Eddie. Richard
