A Gift from Heaven


With a blessing from God,

With all struggles and wrongs,

In this world which we all know.

You, with all your sweetness,

Tenderly pierced the walls of my heart

As you wove a new tapestry of hope and affection in my soul.

Yesterday you offered me hope;

Today you endowed me with your strength.

“With each kiss that we shared we experienced the meaning of love. With the passing glances of passion we surrendered our hearts to the silence of the storm of intoxication. Holding on to each other till the roots of our souls have become entwined in the eternal desire of each other." Poem: "The Silence of Love”
Anthony F. Rando

“A poem begins with a lump in the throat; a homesickness or a lovesickness. It is a reaching-out toward expression; an effort to find fulfillment. A complete poem is one where an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.”
Robert Frost
