In loving memory of Gordon and Norma Yeager


Their love was always alive
When young and old
All throughout their lives
Until the day they died


It is no mystery so it seems
Two people in love, such a dream
To love and to hold to the day of old
Their lives a true love story


So many years together
Seventy two years of marriage
Seems like a lifetime
Only to die side by side


It brings tears to my eyes
To know that love never dies
Between a man and a woman
Their name, Gordon and Norma


May their love
Always be remembered
By all of us, any gender
Their memory still tender


RIP Gordon and Norma Yeager
Couple dies an hour apart holding hands after seventy two years of marriage

    @DanielNorfleet thank you for your kind comment.
    I am not related to them in anyway, I read the article about them and was touched deeply. So I wrote this poem in their memory. I am glad you like it.

Hell On Earth

We’ve all seen it Though sometimes it’s a mystery Why bad things happen throughout history But alas it’s not time to judge But rather reflect upon the past As though it would seem like a punch in the face Through terrorist attacks those miserable bastards Through wars that are unexplainable We fight the bad guys to peace attain Yet wars erupt again and again Ah! You thought you could fight the bad guys The truth is, there are no bad guys or good guys We all are bad guys, pretending to be the good guys Name your cause, from religion beliefs To the elimination of chemical weapons, O’ blasphemy! We’ve all stared evil in the face Whether we are calm or break into a rage We can choose to run past the madness Or stare evil in the face with calmness But that would bring the world into sadness The cause of all this irony Is human beings have abused their destiny The call for peace has echoed throughout history Abuse of power is all too co...

This world of mine

This world of mine I want to make it shine. This world of mine I want to make it shine.   Make it shine! Make it shine! Make it shine!   Let there be hope Let there be peace Let there be laughter Let there be happiness In this world of mine.   While the poor and the hungry Live in a war ravaged land, Shedding tears of sorrow Feeling empty today and tomorrow. Waking up day after day To neglect and disdain, I feel nothing, but their pain!   Why wait for tomorrow? Oh! Why wait at all? No more war ravaged land No more blood shed through the land No more hateful men To spread hate through this beautiful land!   No more! No more! No more!   This world of mine I want to make it shine.   This world of mine I want to make it shine.   Make it shine! Make it shine! Make it shine!

UNREQUITED LOVE

Love is fitting To only some The need to love Unfit to none   Love is precious We all know Accept my love? I cannot cope! My heart felt loved But I not ready With a shy smile, I run away Scared that you, may not stay I still hold you dear in my heart Our love, a thing of the past To this day, I can still remember A loving heart, the feeling tender Forgive me, will you? That feeling, to me was new! You did not understand, I could feel your anger! I only wish that you knew My love for you, only grew If only you could accept This loving heart at it’s best!
