Cracked and bleeding tears of remorse
Lies the long path to yesterday’s life
I have run a long and bitter course
Encountered much sadness and strife
The path to tomorrow is welcome release
The intricate twists and turns doubtless rife
With upset and hardship to appease --
Would that I could take unto myself a wife

I am lonely now and this is my regret
I must have an heir to complete myself
For we are all just a sum of memory
And for closure and a sense of substance
To life one needs to pass on who we were
In order that those to come may profit

If the sum of my existence is outrageous failure
May someone at least learn from my errors
So that they may prosper in turn...

May They Prosper

Cracked and bleeding tears of remorse

I have run a long and bitter course
Encountered much sadness and strife
The path to tomorrow is welcome release
The intricate twists and turns doubtless rife

Would that I could take unto myself a wife

I am lonely now and this is my regret
I must have an heir to complete myself

And for closure and a sense of substance
To life one needs to pass on who we were
In order that those to come may profit

If the sum of my existence is outrageous failure

I too am heirless with a free 'n' clear title to twenty acres of mountain forest with a cabin home 'n' two thousand works of poetry written over 33 years. Whoever, may they prosper. I thought there was a mutual draw, you 'n' I. Maybe this is it. You scribed yer side real well.

Adopt! I did, because my wife couldn't
bare children. Then miracle of miracles,
she became pregnant. We experienced
the best of both worlds! I wouldn't change
a thing for I love the adopted son as much
as my natural born daughter and both will
share equally in any inheritance. The alternative
would have Uncle Sam and the IRS benefiting. I shudder to think of that happening. Adopt! Very
deep write. I enjoyed it.
Blessings,
Robert Edgar Burns (Rob)

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
