How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd;

Alexander Pope

So is Eddie lets see how did his poem go!

"Roses are Red Violets are Blue"
"You are stuck with me and I am stuck with you."

You both get an "A" for effort! Cool

John Q Adams

He loved poetry and so did his father.

"Could I have chosen my own genius and condition, I should have made myself a great poet." John Q Adams

HOPE

Thou art my Lord, my golden dream,
Thou art my life in death.
O bless me with Thy Hope Supreme,
Lord of the Eternal Breath!

Agelong the vision of Thy Sun
For darkness have I sought.
I know the evils I should shun
And quickly bring to nought.

The earth is deaf and blind, my Lord;
Its true goal it denies.
It hears no voice, no heavenly word
From those who seek the skies.

O yet I feel Thy kingly Grace
With my feeble mortality.
I shall win at last the Noonward Race,
Plunge in the Nectar-Sea.
