with forward face and unreluctant soul..
not hurrying to, nor turning from the goal
or mourning for the things that disappear
in the dim past, nor holding back in fear
from what the future veils but with a whole
and happy heart that pays its toll
to youth and age and travels on with cheer.
So let the way wind up the hill and down..
o're rough or smooth the journey will be joy;
still seeking what I sought when I was just a boy-
new friendship's great adventure's abound.
My heart will keep the courage of the quest
and hope the road's last turn will be its best.

I like it. The voice is strong, touched by wisdom and hopeful. It resonate a lot with me, as such things as this poem relates are things I strive for as well. Well done, and a fine essay into that ancient and venerable structure the sonnet.

This write, was a write, filled with saddness, yet happiness that is trying to prevail. A journey that is beginning, and will go on for many new paths, that are waiting.! Every time I read your writes, they just take the all. You have so much to offer for a special one. look at it, as many ventures to come.......and to have great out come.!

Very well done Billy. I must say; I'm in love with a good few of these lines...I love how you began this with a pledge of sorts,
and how you ended it with not only a promise, but a wish as well...
Great job with this sonnet : )

Beautiful work, my dear friend. I hope you keep this in your heart as life goes forward. It is like planting a seed and watching it grow to maturity. The seed of self peace and inner serenity. That is what I hope for you. Makes life so much more bearable, even in the hard times.
Love,
Rita |
