Silver Lining
Folder:
Honour Well, I have come to know
Learn too many men.
Some from daily life,
Some from screen.
To some I was introduced,
Some on my own I could meet.
My father I always loved,
My brothers, be affectionate.
Few were colleagues and friends.
Government servants, Politicians,
film heroes, also commons.
Need to mention my loving
son and husband.
Men tall, men short,
Fat and thin
My respect goes to
The self-made man, to begin
With very own father, once again
symbol sacrifice. Then the gentle German
his immense patience, understanding
tolerance facing irrational oppositions,
with visible grace.
Risen to the Hall of Fame
Sincere determination,
A heart genuine
Confident man;
Petty gossip cannot
Slander or ruin.
Son born germane shining bright;
against hailstorm, pain, projecting
The truth submerged underground.
Keats?s "Beauty is Truth, Truth is Beauty"
Proclaim, reach the world in honest duty
Charismatic Mr G. Schroeder a self-made man The Leader
Rainbow in respect, he stands proof against malice
Life's, exemplary, ?Silver lining?
I enjoyed this write immensely. It's heart felt and generously giving. I'm sure the men in your life are blessed with your love daily and see your beauty flow freely like this splendid poem.
