Different Yet More A Poem
Different Yet More A Poem I wrote this poem last year and it came up as a memory on another site. My birthday is this weekend. I have had few good s in my life. This will be just continuing that trend I am sad to say. The lovely thoughts in this poem do give me some solace. Hugs! Different Yet More I will be turning 50 years old A friend suggested The term that I should Look at things Different yet more. I thought the phrase cute And told him so. And then I had to Of course write a poem. I once thought one way But now with my age I can change My view can actually improve On a whole host of things I can see the them anew With a reverence Or one that is renewed. Rainbows especially I once adored them That is for sure Especially the one I saw on a Friday the 13th Back in 1985. I remember the date As it coincided With my first plane ride. Now when I see rainbows I want to point them out To and family And friends. What a sight to behold! Perhaps they can Come to think of them As I do. How they are magnificent And special! When I look at flowers I can recall some That I adore As I associate them With a person Or an occasion. For lilies I bear A fondness As I associate them With arrangements I made for my Mother And Grandmother. On a Mother's Day When I worked At a florist. And when a single Pinkish purplish Lily Sprouted near my porch I was elated And shocked As I had lived here For nine years prior And none had shown up. And then voila! It appeared In the favorite colors Of my mother. It was different yet more! I can dare say. The memory That age has given me Has made me see That things will grow In importance And reverence Like a rainbow And a flower If given a chance. And so while age Can be disheartening In what I can lose Should I not celebrate What I have gained? Or just come to Acknowledge That things Can be different Yet more? Is it the proverbial Six and one half dozen Of the other? Are youth and wisdom Ever on an equal footing? Perhaps we should Ask the fictional man Benjamin Button If only we could! Independently Romantic Sounds Better Than Lonely |
