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.

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.

A wonderful legendary poem Dylan Thomas wrote...
"You would wish someone fight with all their might
And not slip gentle into that good night
But then who’re we to expect that they do
When heaven’s gates wait for them to walk through."

A truly wonderful tribute poem to your Mom, Brian, one of the best I've ever read. There's nothing so good as a mother's touch, their patience, understanding, their heart and their love.
Brian, that's a fantastic list of things we did when we were kids. I remember all that too, if only things could have stayed free and happy as back in those days. -Beryl
Beautiful poetry from Maya Angelou, a truly courageous, inspirational women whose work and words will live on in the hearts of mankind forever.
Thank you, brother John. I, too, see the 'Rainbow of Hope' on the horizon now that we're getting the vaccination. We are so lucky to have survived, though we'll never forget those that sadly died or those who still will. - Sister Beryl
