As a newly published author I have always enjoyed writing, especially through expressing my thoughts in poems. Recently my youngest son has felt inspired to write his own poetry and place it here on poemhunter and has given me the encouragement to do the same. The collection of poems that will be added here are a reflection of my life's journey with writing. Please feel free to check out my books blog page at http: //thegiftdetails.blogspot.ca/ and my poems blog at http: //giftofpoems.blogspot.ca/ My hope is to never be too old to write at least one more poem.
I died today, or so it seemed
My hearts so full of pain
Too much sadness, too much hate
Too much unlawful gain
...
Take time my friend I ask
To listen to what I say.
Look around and see
What's been given to you today.
...
I tried so hard to love you
But you never really cared
I tried so hard to trust you
But you were never really there
...
This lonely wooden pew
Is where I sit and make my stand
I dream that I'm a warrior
Fighting at God's command
...
Walking through this unending valley
Alone, afraid and scared
Tired, I boldly take a step
Wondering if I should even dare.
