| A Child of God
A child of God sits all alone
And cries from guilt she feels she owns
With blanket frayed she's thinking of
How she deserved that latest shove
How in her eyes, devoid of gleam
Her thoughts preserve a central theme
And from her eyes, tears of despair
As she explains to teddy bear
How she was bad, yet once again
How she had lost, what could have been
As teddy bear hugs her with love
Helps her forget, that latest shove
Together they are quite a team
Together they will build a dream
A dash of care, a life that's fair
Just hers to share, with teddy bear |
Extinction Is Forever
As hard and strong as solid granite
The dinosaurs once ruled this planet
Became extinct but not a sound
For humans then were not around
The 1600’s came and went
And humans now were here and sent
The helpless Dodo to its doom
For sport and food I do assume
Passenger Pigeons once distinct
Before the teens but now extinct
And even when this did occur
From human tongues few words were heard
And later on as with this bird
So also went the elephant herd
The West Coast Condor also gone
As humans barely shed a yawn
And years ago my father's tale
Brought back to life the Great Blue Whale
Life's getting bad, just recently
We lost the last two chimpanzees
As hard and strong as solid granite
Men and women once ruled this planet
Became extinct but not a sound
For humans then were not around |
The Marble Touch
Oh I do love to sit and stare
In front of me, common and rare
My old lard pail that I behold
Contains far more than bars of gold
Or diamonds, they would still surpass
Imbedded streaks in spheres of glass
Some clear, some not, oceans of blue
And earthy flowing colors too
And as I sit, before my eyes
Those tiny earths of different size
Each time I reach, another cuter
Small and clear or a larger shooter
So count me strange for how I feel
That these marbles have such appeal
Or count me odd but count me blessed
For having my own treasure chest |
