    About this ebook

    POEMS FROM THE HEART

    When you walk with the one you love
    for fifty years and more
    A lifetime is locked in the memory’s store,
    Some of the difficult things you shared before,
    And the tender things you shared
    with the one whom you adore.
    Looking back over all the passing years,
    at all the joys and fears
    You recognize that underneath you both
    are God’s everlasting arms,
    That have carried you, and kept you both
    from everlasting harms.
    Such love, long lived, is a precious thing
    That makes the humble heart dance and sing.

    Robin Penman Smith

    Robin Penman Smith is in love with his wife Diana after more than fifty years of marriage. He is also an Episcopal priest with a varied background, serving in city and suburban churches, and in short term missions in Ecuador, Nigeria, and Uganda. Now in semi-retirement he is the Vicar of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, a small country parish in Bonham, Texas. His title, The Rev. Canon Dr. Robin Penman Smith, testifies not only to his educational background, but also to a lifetime of joys and tears that are the very nature of parish ministry.
