Where Is Heaven?

© Faye Diane Kilday

Where is Heaven? Is it somewhere in outer space?Where does my loved one now dwell...In some far and distant place?
Heaven is all around you...It's as close as the air and love that surround you.Heaven is everywhere...it's not just in the skies,It's a spiritual dimension that can't be seenthrough human eyes.
How do I know my loved one is safe?How do I know they are well?How do I know that they made it to Heaven?Is there any way that I can tell?
Your loved one is well in heaven because they're surrounded by God's love and care,And I can promise you that they made it to Heaven, because an angel guided them there!

It's Good To Have a Friend Like You!

© Faye Diane Kilday

It's good to have a friend like you,Whose friendship is sincere and true!Someone to lend a helping hand,To care for me and understand.
When I am feeling sad and blue,It's good to have a friend like you,To help me sort my troubles out,And clear my mind of fear and doubt.
It's good to have a friend like you,Just thinking of the things we do,Sharing secrets, cups of tea...Life is good when you're with me!
Fun loving, kind, sincere and true,These words describe a friend...like you! © Faye Kilday 1999

Expectans Expectavi

© Charles Hamilton Sorley

This sanctuary of my soul
Unwitting I keep white and whole,
Unlatched and lit, if Thou should'st care
To enter or to tarry there.

Barbury Camp

© Charles Hamilton Sorley

We burrowed night and day with tools of lead,
Heaped the bank up and cast it in a ring
And hurled the earth above. And Caesar said,
“Why, it is excellent. I like the thing.”
We, who are dead,
Made it, and wrought, and Caesar liked the thing.

Love Chapter II

Then said Almitra, "Speak to us of Love."
And he raised his head and looked upon the people, and there fell a stillness upon them.
And with a great voice he said:

A Letter From the Trenches to a School Friend

I have not brought my Odyssey
With me here across the sea;
But you'll remember, when I say
How, when they went down Sparta way,

Sweet Disorder

A sweet disorder in the dress

Kindles in clothes a wantonness:

A Song

© Edgar Albert Guest

Rough be the road and long,
Steep be the hills ahead,
Grant that my faith be strong,
Fearlessly let me tread.
After the day's hard test
Home — with its peaceful rest.

Sonnet X: To Nothing Fitter

© Michael Drayton

To nothing fitter can I thee compare
Than to the son of some rich penny-father,
Who, having now brought on his end with care,
Leaves to his son all he had heap'd together;

Andromeda Unfettered

© Muriel Stuart

  Nay, what do you seek?
  If of men we be chained,
  Our chains be of gold,
  If the fetters we break
  What conquest is gained?
Shall a hill-top out-spread a pavilion more safe than our palace hold?

Sonnet XXXII: Our Flood's-Queen Thames

© Michael Drayton

Our flood's-queen Thames for ships and swans is crown'd,
And stately Severn for her shore is prais'd,
The crystal Trent for fords and fish renown'd,
And Avon's fame to Albion's cliffs is rais'd;

Carol Of Occupations

COME closer to me;
Push close, my lovers, and take the best I possess;
Yield closer and closer, and give me the best you possess.

Endimion and Phoebe (excerpts)

© Michael Drayton

In Ionia whence sprang old poets' fame,
From whom that sea did first derive her name,
The blessed bed whereon the Muses lay,
Beauty of Greece, the pride of Asia,

Sonnet III: Taking My Pen

© Michael Drayton

Taking my pen, with words to cast my woe,
Duly to count the sum of all my cares,
I find my griefs innumerable grow,
The reckonings rise to millions of despairs;
