Saved for wit and forth with
Less I speak, ill of myself,
Then of someone else
A term, I deem and pray
What light come forth to mark the day
Know’st thyself best, before someone else
And remember to be thyself
Less I shed a tear, fear thyself in fear
And knowth thy truth, thou has to bare
That I am here, and I do care
Share thy heart and show thyself
I couldn’t bare to be with someone else
For I bequeath my heart to you
Form this day forth
Everything that I can do, I’ll do for you
Truth be known, by truths I bare
My heart is yours, and yours to share
Each person is but a grain of sand resting beside the sea. This thought sets the tone for Jill Eisnaugle’s latest poetry collection, Beside Still Waters.
