"This is Hard"

C.J. Ingerson
1/1/99

Verse 1
********

How do you prepare to write
the first poem of the year 1999?
It seems it would be all right
to look for more love to find?

Verse 2
********

Or would it maybe be better
to find an attribute to define
then obeying it to the letter
like to others to be kind?

Verse 3
********

This will all take patience
for each themselves to know
some will shine with radiance
while others will not show.

Verse 4
********

The Word of God we'll cherish
trying to learn of His charity
else we might all have to perish
for the Word is given in clarity.

Verse 5
********

So this year always may we
remember the them or the they
keeping our minds clean to see
knowing what is important to say.

Verse 6
********

Let us compassion remember
when we our motives dress
and always to others be tender
using tolerance not to press.

Verse 7
********

Then when you think of others
they will always come first
considering they are brothers
and sisters even if not by birth.

Verse 8
********

Now as you read this please
remember the you is your name
and the real honesty of your pleas
to Heavenly Father must be the same.

Verse 9
********

Thus ends the first poem of 1999
it was harder than one would think
to write as each word I could find
could have been the last to link.

Verse 10
********

For friends know who friends are
their words are true forever to be
not just endless wishes upon a star
but with deepness of love to see.
