    Here are two poems that I've carried down the road with me for over 40 years and a poem I wrote after reading Vagharshapats intro: (1) Across the fields of yesterday/ He sometimes comes to me/ A little lad just back from play/ The lad I used to be/ And yet he smiles so wistfully/ Once he has crept within/ I wonder if he hopes to see/ The man I might have been. Thomas S. Jones Jr. Thi next one is by an unknown Author and is said to be Abraham Lincolns favorite poem ---- Tell me ye winged winds / That round my pathways roar/ Do ye not know someplace/ Where mortals weep no more/ The loud winds dwindled/ To a wispers low/ And sighed for pity/ As they answered no.
    After reading Vagharshapat describe himself as ( like a mud) I wrote this poem: Like a mud, where the grass grows so rich and green/ Like a mud, where the flowers bloom so vibrant in color/ Like a mud ,so teeming with life/ Like a mud, where the gold is found so valued and precious/ Yes, you are like a mud/ Gods mud.

      The Giant
      I saw a giant
      Walking toward me
      He was striding so purposefully
      I shouted to giant
      So far above
      Where are you going
      And where are you from
      I'm going to Hay
      I've come from above
      And why are you going
      To the land of Hay
      If I may ask
      On this very day
      I'm going to visit the High today
      For as you may know
      I'm a friend of Hay
      Have you not heard
      I cried from below
      The High have been killed
      And Hay is destroyed
      Few there are left
      From days of old
      The giant kept walking
      So purposefully
      Toward masif mountain
      Standing so majestically
      I shouted to the giant
      So far above
      What is your name
      And what shall you do
      The giant roared
      My name is Merdis
      And I have unfinished business to do
