Amour Vincet Omnia ''Love Conquers All Things''

By Rick Widener

I started writing poetry in 2008. It began as an accident one day while sitting down just doodling with a pencil. Verses started coming together one after another and I have been doing it ever since. I am 63 and this is my first book. I hope it puts a smile on peoples faces. All my poems deal with love, happiness, giving kindness to one another, and sharing time with people you love and care of. In one form or another each one represents the goodness in this world from the heart. There is so much hurt, pain and hate, destruction in this world today. From wars in far off lands to our own backyards, when the towers fell. Someday this must all stop. If my poems can bring a little sunshine into the heart my writings have not been done in vain. My wish would be to take all weapons of war and turn them into farming tools. This world would be a lot better off. In closing I would like to repeat what Roy and Dale say at the end of their show: Happy trails to you until we meet again.

May God Bless,

Rick Widener

A Fond Memory

As time passes it makes no difference

you’ll always be dear to me,

Fond memories of you will dwell within

giving my spirit tranquility.

There’s been many who crossed my path

but no one can compare,

To the glow that God gave you

coming from your auburn hair.

Like an angel from above

let only happiness fall your way,

May the sun give its warmth

perhaps again we’ll meet someday.

Until that time comes about

all I can do is wish you well,

And say a prayer for all the kindness

a heart of gold where love dwells.

Life is full of twists and turns

some things were meant to change,

As long as we open our hearts

God’s love will remain.

What Is Love

As the water passes under the bridge

many seasons have come and gone,

Looking back to that day

it was by the brook we formed a bond.

Ever since then two hearts have endured

the bad and the good,

Through thick and thin to the end

both of us understood.

This is what love is all about

a life of give and take,

Sharing together the ups and downs

being side by side through our mistakes.

It doesn’t matter if your rich or poor

living in a castle or a shack,

All the gold can never buy

the love for each that’s given back.

When it comes time to depart

and, go beyond Heaven’s blue,

It’s what was given from the heart

on that day when we said I do.

Joined As One

As each day passes by

these feelings for you grows within,

Your a gift from Heaven’s blue

remembering that moment by the glen.

All the flowers that ever bloomed

not one can compare,

To the glow that radiates

from your satin hair.

Only God can remove our love

burning continuous like a candle flame,

May two hearts join as one

even beyond the golden plain.

On that day when we said yes

the angels blew their horns,

Heavens clouds opened up

our spirits became reborn.

As we go through life side by side

may God shed His holy light,

Our spirits will dwell beyond the Garden gate

being together where our spirits reunite.

What Is A Rose

When the sun crests in the east

spring flowers begin to bloom,

Nothings so beautiful as a rose

a fragrance filling every room.

Their colors range from yellow to white

some are red others blue,

Every morning they brighten the sky

giving serenity for me
