That was a most beautiful poem.
It seemed to me most professional,
in need of No CORRECTION.

CRUMBLING CASTLES
By Joe Tolve
Rising sea swallows beautiful island,
All is lost, trees, bush, grass and sand.
Melting glaziers create vanishing shore,
Land becomes a commodity that makes mankind poor.
Comfort seeking man drowns himself with desire,
Ozone destroying air-conditioners cause crumbling empire.
Continent shrinks to irreversible city size.
What else must God do to greatly emphasize,
The consequence of our failure of correction,
And the necessity of starting to change our direction?
Or soon there won't be further chances,
For mankind to once again make advances.
Nor to discover his/her own private island,
Or ever to again make castles in the sand.
"I am anxious to aid others, if ever in need of assistance e-mail me PLEASE."

Thank you John,
Your comment gives me confidence to post another down the road. This one happened because of a TV report I heard about the melting glaciers. My first job was teaching braille in the only school for the blind in the Bahamas. Vacationing there my brother forgot my three volumes of Gone with the Wind and I asked if there was a library for the blind in Nassau. "No," was the answer, but there is a school for the blind." I found it and couldn't believe my eyes/ears! The woman teaching braille didn't know it herself, it had only odd volumes of Reader's digest going back 25 years, one braiilewriter no one knew how to use! Well my vacation was spent volunteering there. I got a three year working visa and enjoyed three years of Heaven. Wish only that I could have stayed! Picking up a blind student on Exuma, I got to see my own Paradise! That island became my favorite and after hearing the story on TV, wrote that poem. Sorry I rambled like that! If we humans don't wake up, no one will have an island they can enjoy. If you ever get the chance visit Georgetown Exuma. Thanks for the memories John. Only a loving Universal Father could give us gifts like that.

Joe
P.S. Thanks for the flowers, they smell so good!
