This is a section where I post poems sent to me by people who have found my site and wish to display their own works. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
This poem is by Sheldon A. White
I Did All I Could
My poems; my prayers; my tears;
My pacing the floor.
I did all I could,
'Til I could do no more.
Then time changed my heart;
My hopes; my dreams; my plans,
And fate changed my address.
I forgot for a time, my foolishness.
I ran. I went to see the world,
I was off to see the sights.
I travelled, played and enjoyed
The warm summer nights.
Yet, after all these diversions:
The dinners, the dances, the games,
And my numerous excursions;
I still think of you and dream.
My mind runs back over a million moments:
When I saw you; when I held you;
And when I loved you
With all my heart.
They were the feeble efforts,
Of a desperate man.
I did all I could,
Now I do all I can.
