Leaves dangle
Light lingers little
Birds are hushing
Sky blushes pale
Darkness falls
Stars gleam
Moon rises
Tree frogs sing
The night whispers
With early spring choir
The path is strewn
With fallen flower
Weary, worn, the world lays
Lonely, forlorn, the people pray
Steadfast, sturdy, the Father listens
Gentle, caring, the Father beckons
Fears are assured, rest falls
Upon the sheep gathered in fold
The Shepherd watches
The Shepherd stands
Along side the flock
The morning watchmen

Lovely! Ooohhh, I loved
Lovely! Ooohhh, I loved this. I loved the first verse, but my favorite part was
"The night whispers
With early spring choir
The path is strewn
With fallen flower."
My God, I love poetry. If only I could write it!

Awesome poem, Elizabeth. I loved the whole idea of it, and how it was ended with the watchmen. :)
One of my favorite stanzas was the first:
"Leaves dangle
Light lingers little
Birds are hushing
Sky blushes pale."
Good job.

January 1, I've got alot of things on my mind
I'm looking at my body through a new spy satellite. try to lift a finger, but I don't think I can make the call, so tell me if I move, 'cause I don't feel anything at all.
