Jenny Sarah Olin

New York, New York, USA

Jenny began writing poetry as a young adult after her dad passed away. She discovered that by putting her feelings on paper, she could express the intense loss she was experiencing. An incurable romantic, she loves writing about lost youth, love and loss. She is easily inspired. She says "I'm not sure it's a talent, it's simply feeling something and being able to work the words on paper - so they flow." A collage designer of T-shirts also, Jenny says "sharing my creativity with others has enhanced my life. Knowing my words have moved another is a great feeling."

Two Who Love

Love always a magical mystery - a joyous journey between two
Joined today to say "I Do".
My dear friends - two whose love has reached a time -
to say it's ours; not yours or mine.
From a time of innocence, I've known you both - and
today proud to witness the oath -
Of your beautiful love that bloomed when young -
Yet, still truly a love that has only begun.
A daisy nurtured that blossomed into a rose -
permanently in a garden grows.
As today two become one - and as you each walk
separately but together - in the sun
Joined in harmony - holding triumphantly each others
hands, gloriously to withstand -
A life of love, sharing, trust and visions for the
future unknown - to know you'll never walk alone.
I am blessed in sharing this glorious moment -
and for being a part of both your hearts.
For yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Age Vs Youth

Age is where youth thinks they'll never be -
Youth is concerned with "beauty and me"
Age holds onto precious hours
Youth is the blooming flower
Age appreciates the smallest joy
Youth flirts as a child with a toy
Age can wisdom to the youth bring
Youth thinks they know everything.
Age is a marathon hopefully well run
Youth is a fantasy - primarily for fun
Age has regrets
Youth doesn't know what that means - yet.
Age can bring security
Youth often inferiority
Age is what you have become
Youth has a long way til they become someone
Age thinks smart
Youth feels heart
Age to many is a state of mind
Youth is exploring - trying to find.
Age is memories of bronze and gold
Youth is experiences waiting to unfold.
Age is where you go when youth says goodbye
Youth can only question why!
