Syllables of Love and Sadness

Putting Pen to Paper

Sweet syllables of love Slip easily from my pen And Loves twin, heartbreak I write of, now and then

I love to write of rainbows Moonbeams and sunshine When I put pen to paper My inspiration’s so inclined

Children’s laughter, youthful dreams Happy memories from my past Embracing my beautiful wife Whose love will forever last

I love to think happy thoughts And bring them to the fore To present them to new friends And old friends I adore

As with all lives though There is good as well as bad I have experienced much pain To think of which makes me sad

These thoughts come to haunt me In the middle of the night And sometimes catch me unawares Amid darkest night

But I am not yet brave enough To share these thoughts with friends As I here read of their pain, so bravely Bared upon the page

For now, I’ll write of my happiness My good times in the light And I’ll keep those saddest thoughts Under darkest night
