It is my belief that every poet in their lifetime, wishes to write that one poem, that is unforgettable through the ages. As one who writes poetry as a hobby, as part of my non-profit charity work, I am no exception. To me the greatest poem ever written was “Desiderata” by Max Ehrmann in 1927. Another example of this poem beside the above can be found on: http://www.fleurdelis.com/desiderata.htm It is my hope this poem in its reading will bring extra light to your day.

“All Joys Lead to Him”
Among these is finding the greatest of joys of life.
When we look to others to bring us that joy
we will always find disappointment with our lives.
The light of true happiness is within our own selves.
It is shared and nurtured by only one Being
and that is our Lord and Savior.
Do not look to your fair weather friends
or those who claim to love you.
They will only bring you sadness and disappointment.
Perfection in Love and Friendship is only found in God.
Seek Him, Love Him, and Worship Him each day of your life.
In so doing will you finally find
the joys of eternity
that are just before you.

My gift to you is neither gold or silver.
Diamonds can never hold the light of this gift.
Pearls will will never glow beyond the of this gift.
It is everlasting and eternal.
Within the gift is enclosed the song of angels.
Another part of the gift is the gentle breath of God
given in love to his creatures.
In many ways this gift has life within it
as it changes and grows.
My only valued possession of priceless value is this gift.
I give you this gift freely without restraint.
Beyond death it will always be yours.
I give thee my love my love.
