People

They are cute and sweet

They are not always real neat

and there is nothing so pleasant

as the pitter patter of their little feet

They have such loving eyes

That hold no real disguise

all they ever want

is for you to hear their cries

Pure love is deep inside

To please you, how they've tried

it is for your attention

that they have always vied

Their faces, oh so sunny

And in return, isn't it funny

all they seek in life

is to be your darling little honey

With them, you have a deal

From your blood, was stamped the seal

since the beginning of time

we have all shared in this meal

It is your daughter or son

Always treat each, like the only one

and don 't forget to love them

quite often before they run

The Children

The accused,

has been abused,

he stands there and weeps

on his brand new "shews"

To care,

is there anyone out there,

all of us are guilty

for his sobs of despair

His crime,

he hasn't taken a dime,

he just happened into the world

at the wrong time

Help Me

Your heart,

all he needs is a small part,

can he come with you

and make a fresh start

Why... Why?

why is it he has to die

isn’t there anyone out there

who would hear his anguished cry

A child,

he is beautiful and mild

and he has paid the price

for an adult who's gone wild

Just care,

his life is no longer there

make his spirit live on

for the next victim...you can spare

I love you
such power
we make from two

Heart and soul
with all our strength
we break the role

What has bestruck
so they say
"you're out of luck"

You must fight
like you know how
with all your might

The Door

You cannot say

I hope you know

"I'll quit today"

At death's door

there is no place

for you no more

Into my eyes

give your gaze

I have no disguise

Draw from me

the breath of life

'we' are the key

Trust me...you'll see

It is pure

the power of two

'we' are the cure

I will surge

into your soul

we conquer the scourge

All your life

ahead you'll see

there will be no strife

Forever with me

together we have

the strength to be

The fourth generation so young and nimble
so eager to learn
Your darling granddaughter
with siblings that yearn

Your daughter is still strong
in the prime of her life
But her daddy's departure
cut her like a knife

Your worn-out body
and oft feeble ears
Fill your heart
with many kinds of fears

Oh please don't be sad
life's so good you see
If it weren't as it is
what else would it be

And don't worry Virginia
Eddie's just over the hill
He'll be there to greet you
You know that he will

Life can be so grand
and it's brought you so far
I should think it would be great
when I've reach where you are

Yet I can see in your eyes
what a struggle it's become
What happened to that life
you had when you were young

Take comfort in the things
you were given along the way
Like the kiss of your daughter
on her very first day

The way the world looks
from the first touch of snow
The warmth of the breeze
when winter finally lets go

The love of your life
when you were very young
Or the warmth you feel
when your song's being sung

Don't worry Virginia
Eddie's just over the hill
He'll help you understand
you know that he will

Virginia - Why?

This poem is written

about the girl

With whom

He was smitten

She carries in her heart

a fine spirit

That make you feel good

when you are near it

This spirit

she carries inside

Came from the time

she spent at his side

The songs she still

has in her head

Put there on down the road

which they tread

They traveled the road

and had many a laugh

A Rose to Jenny

Such a short path they traveled indeed

A Bob to her was given

a life, man were they livin'

It seemed such a very short run

but God how they ever had fun

Such a short path they traveled indeed

In each other's mind they would drown

they looked to the stars, not the ground

What's out there, they'd ask

And just sit back and gasp

At the wonder that put them in awe

Her soul, can ride on a shooting star

but her mind can see just so far

The one, her best friend

why'd he meet such a short end

And she'll wonder at the all it's about

What more can you say

she's still flying today

Though his body may be dead

he still lives in her head
