Cheers To Love
The world must become a much better place
Where more people dwell with a smile on their face
Living together in kinship and peace
A world full of hope where joys never cease.

About Beryl Edmonds
My interest and love of poetry began at school, when I was fourteen years of age. The class were given the project of writing an anthology of verse, using our own poetry and designing the cover for our book.
I really enjoyed the project and still have the book I made.
Poetry has remained a lifelong hobby, I enjoy reading and writing poems to this very day.
As poets we may not have a stake
in the Hall of Fame
Or not even Poet Laureate
put beside our name
But there's one thing tho' all poets know
that is for certain
Poetry's in the blood since life begun
till close of curtain.

Never Again
It's time to embrace every culture,
More...
One flock, one shepherd, one fold
Whatever our race, hue or faith
We're all made from the same mould. -
Dearest Mother, I Will Always Love You

When dementia creeps in through the back door,

Loving is needed, like never before...

Teachers proudly stand in front of the class

With knowledge and influence en masse,
Igniting a flame in curious minds
Proficiently as the lessons unwind. -

Quotes by Beryl Edmonds
Love is gentle,
love is kind.
Love opens your heart
and brings peace of mind.
Love gladdens your world.
Love raises the soul.
Love makes everything special.
Love makes you feel whole.
Like a butterfly in flight,
you drifted off to paradise.
A journey to the rainbow's end,
leaving broken hearts to mend.

Never having had a grandfather in my life (they both left the world too soon), this poem really touches my heart. Every word expresses the love between you and your Grampie. A wonderful tribute poem and that last line is awesome.
Beautiful belated birthday wishes!!! Who could fail to be delighted to receive a card with a lovely personalized poem like this inside?
There are times one comes across poetry that captivates the heart,
creeps inside never to depart...
Wonderful!!!
An exquisite ace of diamonds classic
that only a magician could magic
'Tis hoped the recipient of this fine art
Felt the charm caressing her trembling heart.
Soft voiced emotive tender affection
expressed in most heartwarming perfection
Truly this has to be work of a Bard
A moving rendition to a love's heart.
Superb, poetry as its best.
We should count our blessings one by one,
Every night and day, lest they be gone.
Friends and family, hold onto them tight,
For they may disappear in a trice,
Melting away, same as snowflakes do.
Pray they'll always be around for you.
Oh for the winters of long ago, when the earth would often be covered in snow. How beautifully this poem describes snowflakes silently falling throughout the still of the night and the world waking in the morning to such a glorious sight. A fantastic write, outstandingly awesome.
