  Poems for Life

  The poems within are all my own

  Set on paper in unset direction

  Longing to come on out

  Forced out by thoughts of life

  After all is said and done

  Life is just another poem

  Waiting for that one moment

  To come to live for all to see

  Close Friends

  Come to me good friend

  I need you to lend a hand

  To render what is wrong

  I need you now to mend this old heart

  You have the right blend of honesty, and support I so require

  I am not asking you to bend in any way

  Please I beg of you do not send me away

  I know I have not always been a true good friend

  For I know, I tend to be self-absorbed for whatever reason

  We both know we can mend what is wrong, as we are friends

  We both can vent our troubles to each other

  As we blend so well together

  We will be close friends until the end, and pass that as well…

  Tis the Season

  Oranges and apples

  Popcorn balls and chocolate candy

  Pencils and erasers

  Coloring book and crayons

  Play dough and yo-yo

  Small game

  All stuffed in tight

  In a stocking

  Yet there is still a candy cane hanging out

  Wind

  Wind blow down from way up north

  In comes flying leaves and limbs

  Not worth the danger to go on out

  Do us a favor wind go on back up north

  Winter

  W inter oh you have arrived way to soon

  I had intended to go from here

  Now I am stuck here thanks to you

  T raped in the Snow Belt yet again

  Enjoying the cabin fever, I will soon get

  Rotten to the core you are I just wish I could ban you for life.

  Comforter

  Oh, comforter how long have you been around?

  Been in a nursing home for twenty years or more

  Oh, comforter how are you held together

  By machine in a factory sewn together in one big sheet

  Oh, comforter were you a warm to the soul who once you held

  I tried the best I could

  Oh, comforter why did you leave the place where you lived

  Your owner passed away

  I will miss her as well

  Oh, comforter where did you go

  Silly I went to you

  Oh, comforters do you like it here

  I haven a clue

  Oh, comforter why say such a thing

  I say so as now I am rolled part way under the chair you are in

  Oh, comforter so sorry

  That is ok if you just get up and move your bottom out of the way

  Oh, comforter see thee has freed you

  Well it was about time

  You both will be missed

  Damper

  Thee the holiday season is here

  The season of warmth and joy

  Where have you gone

  The yuletide carols being sung by roaming carolers

  Spreading the meaning of the season

  Where have you gone

  Christmas of yesteryears of simpler times

  Opening doors to neighbors, friends, and family

  Where have you gone

  Dreams of a white Christmas in the country

  Riding over fields and through the woods

  Where have you gone

  Towns and cities showing their best for all to see

  Pride in the wonderment of what could be possible

  Where have you gone

  Business and homes decorated in simple matter

  Looking ever so inviting

  Where have you gone

  Somewhere every town seemed to have a Christmas gathering

  Some had plays put on in schools, churches or even a parade

  Where have you gone

  Everyone came back to his or her roots just as t
hey wanted to year after year

  Where have you gone

  Homemade presents meant more than store bought

  Then would be treasured for many more years

  Where have you gone

  Christmas please come back to stay

  In addition, bring all those things that made you oh so special

  We need you

  Year’s End

  Eight-fourteen pm is the time

  Here on 12 December 2015

  Counting on down until the end of year

  Where did the year go?

  It was just thanksgiving last week it seems

  Oh where does the time go?

  Off like a light checking on eggs

  Clearing the rotten ones out tonight

  Making room for the new to fall on in

  Where do they all go?

  Time is running on down

  Springs have sprung

  Calendar needs to be replaced

  Where has the year gone

  Apples and Cranberries

  Apples and cranberries decorate a tree

  Dried out as can be

  Strung around the Christmas tree

  That was a lifetime ago right you over there

  Apples baked in a pie

  Cranberry sauce and a cookie

  For this is no lie

  Now I must do part and I say to you bye

  For now, but do not forget that apple tie

  Wonder Can

  Winter has arrived

  Oh how soon will it be Christmas

  Noel will be heard through out France

  Dreams of warmer days will ease some

  Easterly winds will be blowing on in blankets of snow

  Ready or not snow will be with us three months if we are lucky

  Closed up summer fun

  All will be calm its cabin season

  Now until spring thaw

  Little Lamb

  Away in a manger

  A little lamb rest

  Next to its mother

  The stars in the sky look brightly down

  Shinning its light upon all in the manger

  The manger is pretty much filled for the night

  A woman named Mary enters the manger

  She is expecting a child very soon

  Mary’s husband Joseph accompanies
