Poet: Eloise A. Skimings
Purest love flows from thy soul.
Happiness dwells in thy heart;
Other friends can I enroll,
Each to me love's joys impart.
But I love thee best of all.
E'er thy friendship I recall.
Poet: Eloise A. Skimings
Sunshine surrounds thee,
Pride of your home;
Happy as the birds
'Neath heaven's dome.
May your life be spent
In doing good.
More Friendship Poems
Poet: Eloise A. Skimings
When the autumn evening sky is blue and clear,
And the stars like bright gems are shining,
I think of absent friends, friends both true and dear,
Friends I have not met for many a long year,
Friends who often sent loving words of cheer
When my cloud had no silver lining.
I love at dewy eye to watch the falling star,
'Tis like a brilliant volume to me
From the friends who have gone to the beautiful shore,
Where the life toss'd mariner's struggle is o'er,
Where'll be no parting for evermore
On that side of eternity's sea.
The October moon is rising in the East
Like a golden orb - night's autumn sun -
To me Hope's Anchor, a royal love feast;
No cloud in my sky - no fears in the least.
The joy of my heart has returned - I'm released
From life's shadows that fell one by one.
More Poems About Life
Poet: Eloise A. Skimings
Thine heart is light,
Then keep it so;
Drive sorrow from your heart
Where'er you go.
Be a friend good and true,
To those you love;
O'er their path blossoms strew,
To bloom above
In the crown for God's own
Who trust in him;
And reap what he has sown,
Like Seraphim.
Keep thou before the mast
On life's rude sea;
Love's pilot rules the blast
For you and me.
More Christian Poems
Poet: Eloise A. Skimings
Gone is thy loved one to that land of beauty
Where the immortals bloom divinely fair;
Where innocence blossoms with love and duty.
Brought by earth's pearls so rich and rare.
Thy darling has pass'd thro' the beautiful gates
To the fair golden City of Rest ;
With her angelic robes she patiently waits
For those whom she lov'd on earth the best.
More Funeral Poems
Poet: Eloise A. Skimings
Happy thoughts - how little they cost
Yet are they pearls of value rare
To those who on life's sea are tossed,
Whose earthly lot is hard to bear.
Happy they who know their power,
Know the goodness that from them springs,
Hope 'gain conquests every hour,
And from High its blessing brings.
Happy thoughts, like the April sun,
Melting away the winter snows;
And when life's happy goal is won,
Grand among thorns appears the rose.
More Poems About Happiness
Poet: Eloise A. Skimings
How sorrowful it is to watch
The noisy reaping machine
Parting the grain from its mother bed,
While it gracefully bent its stately head
As the breeze swept o'er the green.
The binders follow in their train
To bind the golden grain;
And when their hard day's work is o'er
They merrily dance, as in days of yore,
To the sweet sounding violin.
How glorious the harvest moon
Peeps thro' the maple leaves.
And beams upon the merry throng
As they sing the beautiful harvest song
In the shade of the lofty trees.
More Thanksgiving Poems
Poet: Eloise A. Skimings
From thee one souvenir I crave,
Your picture my album to grace,
And I should give mine in return,
But this sonnet must take its place.
I must only in memory live,
A picture my beauty would mar;
And should time mv features efface,
Think of me wherever you are.
Think of me, and never forget
The pleasure our friendship oft gave;
For few can sail o'er life's rough sea
Without some rude billows to brave.
Then forget me not, but cherish
The thought that I wish still for thee
Long life, and health, and wealth, to keep
Thy soul from worldly sorrows free.
Thou hast entered the gate of knowledge
And roamed amid beauties there;
Which to thy mind more precious are
Than jewels surpassingly fair.
More Thinking Of You Poems
Poet: Eloise A. Skimings
On presenting me with a honey comb.
May the honey that flows from these waxen cells
Be sweet like the mem'ry thou hast for me
And may thy life flow like chimes of magic bells.
And mayst thou many years of happiness see.
Irish Blessing Quotes
Poet: Eloise A. Skimings
May flowers are shedding their beauty
Over meadow and hill,
And the bright, golden dandelion
Is queen among them still.
Ever studding our path with glory,
Where over we wander,
A golden flower, whose modest duty
Makes the heart grow fonder
Of this fair earth, man's home, man's kingdom,
His to hold while life lasts.
And like the flowers, this virginal May,
Has outlived winter's blasts.
Blossoming May, hope's flowery banner,
Crown thou the harvest field
With flowers, fruit and ripe, golden wheat.
A truly bounteous yield.
