Castle in the Sun
Listen to Virginia read her poem, Castle in the Sun.


Young Love

My love no matter what you do
I'll always go on loving you.
For I am weak, as you are strong.
And in my eyes you'll do no wrong.
I love you, yes, you know I do.
So love me just as I love you.


Rain

The rain is raining all around and making green the trees.
It falls to make the gardens grow and calm the angry seas.
If not for rain there would be drought and famine to cause pain.
We thank you Lord, in your Heaven above for bringing us the rain.
The rain is raining all around and thunder fills the air.
The lightning streaks across the sky and gives an eerie glare.
I sit behind my window pane and watch the droplets flow. 
Down the glass in broad daylight they have a silvery glow.
The rain is raining all around and sun begins to peek.
The day gets brighter, rain slows down, and I a rainbow seek.
I see it over a mountain high in many colors bright.
The storm is done and now I wait for God's next show of light.

Children 
by Virginia Bostwick 

 My children are a handful with
the problems that they cause.
And through a normal hectic day
there seldom is a pause.
With cooking, cleaning, and the like
they wear me to a frazzle.
 So they can look like royalty
and mother-in-law can dazzle.
After the clatter and the clang,
I bathe and get them bedded.
I now sit quietly and think
which way are we all headed. 
I tiptoe softly through their rooms
and they are sweetly sleeping. 
With rosy cheeks and tousled heads,
their lives are in my keeping. 
I quietly go back to my chair
and find that I am weeping. 
I know that I'll do anything
to keep them safe and sound. 
I know I'll be there for them
as long as I'm around. 
  I'm sure in their hearts they know that too
now that they are grown. 
And in my heart I know one thing,
I'll never walk alone.
