Ruth Rayment Poems

When I grow old
When I was once young
When I knew my time had come
When all has approached
...

I wrote you a letter
Stating everything
I told you what the world had done
While you battle under the scorching sun
...

In this world
I've yet too see
a genuine human being
who is free
...

you are the bind and mill
let it be known
you are the faces
we have come to know.
...

Forgive me brother
For I do not cry upon the world’s shoulders
I do not mourn upon thy death
I do not seek sympathy from those unknown
...

If I were to be the conductor of my life,
I would create a melody of true delight
With a crescendo there
And an out of key note here
...

Let the mourners come
One by one
Approaching the deceased one
...

Within this life
I believe I have foreseen
My true love
Who promises
...

While we sit n feast on your life
You know ours is far from over
Never complete
Never judged
...

O soldiers
Who fought never giving in
Made a joke
At the merry inn
...
