David Cleveland Poems

This man walked up and put a gun to my head.
He said do as I say, or you will be dead.
So I started thinking, if I had one more goodbye.
I would say these things before I die.
...

2.

Faith is believing without seeing.
Knowing that God is real.
It's knowing about His commandments.
Especially the one that says not to kill.
...

It was His blood that washed over me.
It was His blood that set me free.
It was His body that took my pain.
We can't let His sacrifice go in vain.
...

Who am I if I'm not me?
I'm not blind, but I still can't see.
Here's a hint, I'm not a clown.
Another hint, I make no sound.
...

It took me 57 years to finally see.
My worst enemy turned out to be me.

I say this with sadness. It makes my heart ache.
...

The Lord asked me a question.
I didn't know what to say.
He wanted to know.
If I believe when I pray?
...

My heart is heavy, my spirit broken.
My life is passing, as I lay there choking.
As each breath shortens, I don't fight for air.
I know I'm dying, I just don't care.
...

I've lived a long life with much sin.
How do I change it? Where do I begin?
Riding motorcycles, for forty-plus years.
So many drugs, and thousands of beers.
...

Is life a lie, or a bunch of dreams?
A make-believe world, that's not what it seems.
I dreamed last night, that I killed a man.
I didn't use a gun, I did it by hand.
...

I know what it's like to be lost.
Trying to get back at any cost.
It won't be easy; you'll have to fight.
Listen to God, and walk toward the light.
...

Turn your back on the Lord.
You know not what you're doing.
God is more than putting money in the plate.
So, who do you think you are fooling?
...

Most miracles you really don't see.
The mountains, the ocean, a ten-thousand-year-old tree.
The birth of a baby, the smell of a flower.
Or taking a walk in a warm April shower.
...

A soft drizzling rain on a warm summer night.
It makes you feel calm, it makes everything right.
You look at your lady, no need to speak.
The connection you have is really unique.
...

You said you love me.
That you would die for me.
And because of your death.
I would be set free.
...

You said you love me, that you would die for me.
And because of your death.
I would be set free.
...

I'm sorry I drifted away from you.
Lost, I didn't know what to do.
They said you left me alone, Father, did you?
...

17.

Two motorcycle clubs are about to go to war.
Our only wish is to know what we are fighting for.
There are specific rules we follow, like not riding alone.
Things get pretty bad where we're not even safe at home.
...

Addiction
While I'm addicted, I will never be free.
The shadows of addiction are always chasing me.
Many times I've tried to quit, but the needle tells me no.
...

I'm Home
Since my wife passed, I can't wait to get home.
My wife is there waiting; she says I'll never be alone.
Dinner is ready, but there's only one plate.
...

The Best Poem Of David Cleveland

'Thoughts'

This man walked up and put a gun to my head.
He said do as I say, or you will be dead.
So I started thinking, if I had one more goodbye.
I would say these things before I die.
I love you mom, I wish I had said it more.
Dad, I'm sorry I left your tools on the floor.
And to my little brother, who was always a pain.
It hurts knowing I'll never see you again.
And to my unborn child, that I never had.
I'm sorry I won't have a chance to be your dad.
And to my Lord, who I love and praise.
I'm ready my Father if today's the day.
