Reflections of Life: Changes of the Heart

By Ronald Black

Poetry is something that we all share, each time that we think a thought. We think in poetry, only some of us are not able to put it in words but thoughts of poetry live in our hearts. We are filled with emotions and that is what poetry is. You need to just open your heart to the words written for they are the words coming from a heart just like you. From our pain and our sacrifices to our joy and happiness, when you read this we will be able to see that we are all the same seeking love and a dream that we can claim.

Dedicated To The Ones That We Love

I would like to take this time to dedicate this book

To my wife, Shirley J. Black and my son Ronald J. Black Jr.

And also to my family and friends who encouraged me to seek

My dreams. Life is an ever-changing picture and so we continue

To change with the times, but there is one thing that will never change

That is the love in our hearts that we feel for each other.

A Beam Of Light And A Ray Of Hope

Can you see the beam of light?

As it pierces the darkest night

As it brings light to a place

Like the Sun shining in space

A ray of hope

That helps us to cope

A ray of light

To push back the night

To brighten our hearts

Before it is torn into parts

Keeping our minds together

Feeling light as a feather

Casting out the fear

That can cause us a tear

Bringing us the love

That is known above

Bringing us a peace

That will never cease

Bringing us a joy

That is meant for every girl and boy

A Child Of Love

There was a child looking up at me

With a smile as cute as it could be

There were no words that the child did say

For the child just continued to look my way

Was it the look on my face?

That the child loved to trace

Was it the smile on my face?

The child longed to embrace

The child was without fear

For the child moved near

The child reached out a hand

I thought the gesture grand

For the child wanted to feel a touch

Of someone they did not know much

The child was able to see

Inside the very heart of me

A child can brighten your life

Help you make it through any sacrifice

For a child is a gift of love

That is sent from the heavens above

A Child Was Born

There was a child I saw today

She had her head turned my way

Maybe there was something she wanted to say

There was
