Aunt Virginia's Poetry: The King Of Heaven September 28, 1948

My Aunt Virginia was a teacher and a poet. Sadly, a number of her poems were on tissues and paper bags or whatever she could find when she had the urge to write and many are lost forever. She would wake up in the middle of the night with a poem screaming to be released. Where ever she was, if the urge struck, she had to write. Many were published but most weren't. I hope to rectify that here. All copyright to these poems belongs to me now. She is second from the left in the photo above.

The King Of Heaven September 28, 1948

When I drift away

on a golden sea,

May the King of Heaven

drift with me;

As I drift along may

song and a prayer

Help my heart to know

God's everywhere;

And if I drift on a

golden sea,

The King of Heaven

will drift with me.

V.C.
