Cheers To Love
The world must become a much better place
Where more people dwell with a smile on their face
Living together in kinship and peace
A world full of hope where joys never cease.

About Beryl Edmonds
My interest and love of poetry began at school, when I was fourteen years of age. The class were given the project of writing an anthology of verse, using our own poetry and designing the cover for our book.
I really enjoyed the project and still have the book I made.
Poetry has remained a lifelong hobby, I enjoy reading and writing poems to this very day.
As poets we may not have a stake
in the Hall of Fame
Or not even Poet Laureate
put beside our name
But there's one thing tho' all poets know
that is for certain
Poetry's in the blood since life begun
till close of curtain.

Never Again
It's time to embrace every culture,
More...
One flock, one shepherd, one fold
Whatever our race, hue or faith
We're all made from the same mould. -
Dearest Mother, I Will Always Love You

When dementia creeps in through the back door,

Loving is needed, like never before...
An expressionless face, an empty heart, -
Teachers
Teachers proudly stand in front of the class
More...
With knowledge and influence en masse,
Igniting a flame in curious minds
Proficiently as the lessons unwind. -

Quotes by Beryl Edmonds
Love is gentle,
love is kind.
Love opens your heart
and brings peace of mind.
Love gladdens your world.
Love raises the soul.
Love makes everything special.
Love makes you feel whole.
Like a butterfly in flight,
you drifted off to paradise.
A journey to the rainbow's end,
leaving broken hearts to mend.

Wonderful poetry Taeha, your despair shows through every word you've shared. I hope one day your friend shows up, with a big, warm, consoling hug.
The poem "I Shall Not Care" by Sara Teasdale is beautifully written tho' it does cause the reader to wonder what pain and hurt she was going through at the time of writing, the thought inspired this quote from me...
"When one who supposedly loves you
classes cruelty as an art
Death may bring a welcome salvation
but it's surely better to part."
A wonderful poem Paul Laurence Dunbar wrote many years ago, after slavery was abolished.
How it must have hurt to know his parents had been slaves...
Imagine the pain that slavery brought
an inner battle that couldn't be fought.
Yet still to this day some have no liberty
for whatever reason there may be.
Shining eyes that give false impression
a wide smile hiding soul suppression
Having to wear a mask that belies
true feelings kept deep inside.
So beautiful and romantic...
"Like poets have the need to write, one needs love like this in their life."
Jenny,
Though very emotionally moving, the poem is wonderful. I do hope your cousin, like you, has been able to recover from the trauma suffered in the past and has found inner peace at last.
