New and Collected Poems

By: Roger Wayne Turkington

Our love is now a tangible reality,

a free-standing entity, yet running free,

Larger even than you or me,

Stronger than anything else will be.

Our love is a century-old strong oak tree,

A monument set high upon a hill,

Tested when in health or when ill,

It is a gift given to behold by you and me.

The awardee of the American Medal of Honor, the World Freedom Medal, International Man of the Year 2002, and the Distinguished Service Cross, author Roger Wayne Turkington shares with us his eclectic collection of poetry.
