A Cottage by the Sea
by denny
And so, life comes to this,
A cottage by the sea,
To share with one we love.
Children grown and gone,
Loving memories to cherish
Of bygone days and yet
A wistful tear remains,
Of times too quickly gone.
Pictures on the mantel now
Younger faces peering out
Life's adventure still ahead.
But time does run its course
And takes its toll along the way.
Loved ones lost
And others gone away.
Bittersweet the fruits of life,
Yet challenges remain.
To face the day with love and hope
And push aside the fears.
To share the day and all it brings,
In a cottage by the Sea.
Right. Life is for LIVING and doing, NOT following "if Onlys"

Denny,
ReplyDeleteMay you enjoy many days of sharing and creating poetry. You might remember when I broke out on my own some time ago. I created "ThePublicView". It was wonderful therapy after being abused at the Fray.
Now all you need is to link up a message board, and you're all set.

Hey Richard -
ReplyDeleteWelcome to my new Blog. Eventually, once I create some more content, I will try to link up to a poetry site of some sort. For now I'm content to write and let my friends know that they can find me here.
Thanks for visiting.

hi Denny, i just read this poem, you are truly expressive of the things and events you have experienced in life...
ReplyDeletei know that poets write sometimes out of pure inspiration and command of the art, but your writing comes from your heart..it feels and sounds and seems all too real and personal....
i will read this poem once more; when i first read it, i saw the cottage by the sea and i had glimpses of a family growing inside...it is very moving and sentimental...things pass away, things change, and sometimes all one can do is to share...be that one's life with a friend or a loved one or just a quiet cottage by the sea...
denny thanks for sharing your poetry!
happy holidays
