Moving On Poem by Dan Quiles

Onto me came a gift.
It brought such a soul lift. In my lifetime,
I’ve felt a lot of drift rift.
Unlike anything,
I feel a change of shift.
It is an angel that came:
Mutual friendship is what we became.
Already you’ve taught and caught me in spurts of surprises.
Have given me the greatest lesson of it all.
That, ‘caring is sharing, sharing is definitely caring’,
‘Daring is enduring, enduring is definitely daring.’
Loving is manufactured in many ways.
Creating long constructive highways and driveways.
For the awaiting broad road that lurks.
Preparation in life takes many steps and reps.
Options in life is our own caption to existence.
Thank you for given me a new meaningful day.
Today is more meaningful than yesterday.
Laying yesterday like a fallen leaf.
Gaining new relief to my new day.
