Our Gift

Anne Rutherford

Life is so very special,
don't throw it away.

Savour it, with happy wonderful
times,spent with family and friends.

No wasting this gift we are given,
even if hard or painful times
come your way.

Wake up each morning and say,
a new day is here.

Put on your smile when you greet
your mirror,and leave it on all
day.

Life is so special, don't throw
it away.

Spend it like there is no tomorrow
because tomorrow might not
 come your way.

Anne Rutherford

I have been writing poems since my first son was born.I had poems all over ,stuffed every where.Oct. 06, I was told I had W.M.D.of the eye ,Since then I decided to make the most of my sight now. Had many treatments, operations. I learned to take the good with the bad.I love writing and reading other peoples poems. All my poems are from my life as it has touched me.I have four sons ,nine grandchildren and wonderful daughters in law. The Lord also blessed us with two great grandkids this last year. Married very young to a great guy. I enjoy all types of music,classical ,the most. I so much enjoy the poems on this site and hope you as a group enjoy reading mine.I have many more poems, some that are framed for sale in stores ect. Someone said on here 'you read mine and I'll read yours.This I will do! My favourite line in life is "Have fun while you do it ,or it's not worth doing" and "Never never give up" Churchill Love to all Anne. more…
