Buds Of Promise.

By Sara foster.

After One hundred years or more
Fate knocks your door
A yearling poets falls
Upon your words so small
Did your words live on,
I think not,
Almost forgot!
Except some dark and dusty plot
The land and faith you valued most
Has left you as a ghost.
The gravestone covered in moss
The books almost lost
Bid me 50 pence sir
For something almost lost
Sara Foster an unknown name
Never did you find fame
Did you search? (whilst in pain!)
Did you ever complain? (when fame never came?)
Or did you just live your life in vain?
Unbeknown to all around.
But your words will live on again,
on the internet most plain.
Though alas still no fame!



Why do we publish or allow our words to be published. Surly it’s a vanity?
After all, should it not be for others after we are gone to want to see our words transcribed to the world’s eyes.
In this case the vanity is not of Sara's for she had her words published to help raise money for a good cause,
Perhaps the vanity here is my wanting to grace
My Web site and poems with her words,
That dear reader is up to you to decide, in the mean time this lady wrote these words one hundred years or more ago
though she lies peacfuly in Gods arms, let her words once more bring hope and happyness to the world.

God bless you Sara

Please note that as much as possable I have included everything from this little gem that I bought in a car boot sale,
I am endevering to find out as much as I can about this lady, as it would be nice to know of her histery though some small
bits can be gleaned from the following pages
