Both North And The South

It seems so extreme, just a dream, just a dream,
That we love our neighbours; I mean what I mean,
But we are all family, both North and the South,
We both live in freedom, of that there's no doubt.

But we are so different, both you and both me,
We speak the same language yet often don't see,
That we have two cultures, one yours and one mine,
And though we're so different, we're from the same vine.

Across the 'Big Water' we both had to flee,
To seek independence so we could be free,
To start a new life in the South and the North,
And live with the statutes that we have set forth.

Yet though we're so different and seldom agree,
The best thing in life is that we are both free,
To live with our conscience and do what we please,
And trust in our Nations, for they hold the keys.

David Pekrul was born in New Westminster, B. C. Canada.

He wrote his first poem in February, 2004, as an Anniversary card for his wife, Linda. Being rather pleased by the results of his first attempt, he wrote a second one, then another and another. He soon realized that he was in love with words.

The pictures that his words paint may not always be pretty, but they are pictures worth viewing, for he writes about the world around him, whether they be things good, bad or otherwise. He also writes about family, nature, God and faith.

His first poetry book, "Parts Of The Sum Volume One" has just been published and can be found at http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/3145051

David makes his home in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies with his wife Linda and spoiled pup, Tiki.
