The Reason

Anne Rutherford

The clock of life is ticking
and slowly winding down.
There's way more I liked to see,
I guess that's my only dream.
I've seen the birth of my children
and grandchildren,
Had friends all around.
Most of life happy, injected with
some frowns.
The most beautiful thing to see,
is a person smiling,
Even more beautiful is, knowing
That you're the reason behind it.

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…
