Above Drawing, by my niece Kerri Costello, (Bensalem)
Today’s poem, first appeared on my blog site in July 2017, however I’m not sure when I wrote the original piece….. I know the words where written during Easter “Once Upon Time”….. maybe 7 years ago ?
As Life Went By
You’re like an infant of mine, a distant cloud in the sky
Always ever present, not able to cry
You’re like a teen of mine, who somehow learnt to fly
Always gliding high, and passing her by
You’re like a child of mine, I lost on Good Friday
Always ever present, not able to cry
You’re like an ex-girl of mine, her first words were a lie
Always chasing the answer, by using her thighs
You’re like a friend of mine, who left on Good Friday
Always ever present, not able to cry
You’re like a lady of mine, her only instinct was to try
Always seeking final peace, as life went by
Ivor Steven (c) April 2020

I’ve noticed Claudia, although I’ve a Twitter account, I don’t really get on Twitter. I just have WP posts tied to twitter and Facebook. Thanks for sharing my posts 💙💜🌏
