My Loves

I address this issue
in this poem, I do start
because I always try to write
what whispers to my heart.

My grip on my favorite pen
is begining to decrease,
so I write this poem of love
before it entirely will cease.

Know that I love sooo many
my God is number one,
my family comes in second
add my friends and I'm not done,

I then must include my readers
who seem to enjoy my dribble,
and who also forgive me
when weird phrases I tend to scribble.

And I also must say
although I might seem bats,
I truly love my three sons
I'm speaking of my cats.

Lastly, I add my enemies
who I just may love the most,
for I tend to have this propensity
to want to keep them very close!

Doc, I loved;"Because I always try to write what whispers to my heart." I stumbled a bit on line 8, [maybe just me?] Very nice piece~ _____________________________ To write a touching poem, you must gently stir the soul, if it brings forth tears or smiles, then the story was beautifully told. ________Janice Pearce_________
