The Web Poetry Corner - Ronald G. Auguste - YET TO BE BORN

YET TO BE BORN

by

Ronald G. Auguste

(In memory of John F. Kennedy Jr.)

Oh JFK! Your life was like a sun --
Approaching midday -- in an open sky;
But ruthlessly, before the day was done,
Fate interloped, to send your soul up high!

Fate's deed aborted all those years of light
Being formed within to bring a clearer dawn,
So your mind could conceive, even in night,
Your father's covenant ... yet to be born....

Your sky held promise of a longer day,
Except that cruel fate made darkness fall
Fast on the clearing where you'd paused to play,
Until Time beckoned, and you heard its call.

You might have been to us a brighter star,
With steady beams, to guide and lead us far.

Why don't you look at The Gippsland hills
