A poem for you

Come on in and sit a spell. There's a seat for you around the campfire.

A poem for you

#1 Post by Graps »

At the end of the day and the sun settin' low ,

The crusty old man sits with his trusty bow .

With light fading fast and cold settin' in ,

He looks to the sky with a big toothy grin ,

This life it's been hard, with it's ups and it's downs ,

A family that Love's me and friends some were clown's ,

The season is over , and clouds rollin' in ,

His last hunt is finished and comes to an end .

It's time to come home now the Lord says to him .

It's time to come home and to be with your Kin .

So softly he faded with nary a sound ,

His hand and his bow softly fell to the ground .

His last hunt is over , his rest now begins ,

His last hunt is over , Gods love never ends .

Thanks Dale,
As I enter my "sunset" years I can certainly testify to God's never ending love.

p.s. I think that would make a great rap song.

Well thought out and well written, Dale. There is a poet hiding within you.

No poet, just a twelve year old boy.

Enjoyable reading.
It’s better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt!
