He writes about life.

poem by: Christopher Russon
Written on Nov 24, 2018

He spent his life in factorys
Worked his fingers to the bone
Fifty years have come and gone
Now retired and stays at home.
A family he provided for
Now his children they have grown
They have all moved on and fled the nest 
They've got to make it on there own.
He looks around at all four walls
And he wonders just were he is going
So he thinks about this thing called life
And writes about it in a poem.

poem by Christopher Russon

A simple poem is like a caterpillar That is on a leaf. The poem starts growing Until a butterfly is complete. Then bright coloured wings take to flight All God's work for our delight. Read more
