Shadows


#Shadows

by Seah Greenhorn
(Poem with copyright)


No
Shadowy
#Presence

you are,

though

Often

Shoved

into the
corners

of our

Daily

lives.

HIDDEN,

as if
#deformed,

Yet

#Miracles--

All of them,

YOU

Performed.

Why should you be

Secreted

Away,

#Eclipsed

by puppet masters--

those who
commandeer
the stage,

Play

our

Strings

angrily,
greedily,
possessively,

While

YOU

Lovingly

Waited
Patiently,

Still
Managing our world

Spinning
Perfectly

for inattentive
#Humanity?

So Let There Be Light

Shown

on many

pathways,

For

No
Shadowy
Presence

you are
to remain,

to #FOREVER
maintain

An arena

for fleeting mankind's

#Hoorays.

For you there will be

No more

SHADOWS.

Daughters

#Daughters



by Seah Greenhorn
(Poem with copyright)
Dedicated to my nieces and grand-nieces


Daughters,

Are you a
#feather

tossed
around
on 
every
wind?

With this 
rolling

along

lightly

your future
depends

on this constantly
unpredictable
element,

though
enjoyable
ride--

The Whims
of Men.

Why not

interject
a
moral
rod
to your
spine;

adding
strength
to your
core?

Be a Wall
for them to scale.

Not a flinging
Saloon
Door.

If you
Cultivate

a Rosy
Constitution,

which
needs
time
to control
and mold,

your character
will demonstrate
flexibility,

a Sublime
Grace.

This
All
men
Will
Acknowledge:

Your
Total
Beauty

A
Pleasure

To
Behold.

With your
Purpose

Solidly

Anchored

in place,

YOUR

Wisdom

prevents
foolishness.

Gives
Stupidity

a Wide
Berth.

In this
Studiuosly
Acquired
Identity

Now
You
Can
Choose;

Because
#Priceless

My 
Darling
Daughter

Is
Your
#VALUE.

EXPENSIVE--
YOUR
WORTH!
