POEM OF THE DAY-"TODAY AND EVERYDAY" FROM THE POETRY PAD SITE

If I could be so honest
For just a minute or two
I have something special
I’d like to share with you

I want to let you know
Right from my very heart
How much I am thankful
For the wonderful friend you are

You’re always there when I need
A little cheering up
Or maybe just a smile
Or a friendly hug

So, I just wanted to say
In the most sincere way
Thank you for being my friend
Today and everyday

"Me Thinks This Heart..." - Poem by Emily Jane Brontë

Autoplay next video

Me thinks this heart should rest awhile
So stilly round the evening falls
The veiled sun sheds no parting smile
Nor mirth nor music wakes my Halls

I have sat lonely all the day
Watching the drizzly mist descend
And first conceal the hills in grey
And then along the valleys wend

And I have sat and watched the trees
And the sad flowers how drear they blow
Those flowers were formed to feel the breeze
Wave their light leaves in summer's glow

Yet their lives passed in gloomy woe
And hopeless comes its dark decline
And I lament because I know
That cold departure pictures mine
