Poems of Love and Life Thomas Illingworth

This is Tom's first book of poems. See below "A Life" as a sample from Tom's book "Poems of Love and Life" Tom has been writing poetry for many years and this is a culmination of his work. I really enjoy reading Tom's poetry with the many and varied subjects. I particularly found "Prayer to God" and "God's Answer" both moving and thought provoking, and I'm sure you will too. A Life Life is such a fragile thing Much weaker than a fireflies wing That breaks with just the merest strain So you may never come again If you are filled with deep despair And no one ever seems to care The only answer there must be Is to go right down upon your knee And pray unto the Lord on high A prayer to reach him in the sky Then he will answer you in kind Take all the worry from your mind He'll take you in his arms with love This is the way of the Lord above I know that all of this will be It's happened many times to me
