Oreo – The Poem

I miss coming home

To your wagging tail

And excitement

Because I was back.

I miss our late night walks

You sniffing around

Looking through the railings

Watching people who go past.

I miss the funny things you did

Like walk into the vase,

Trip over the boxed

And play soccer for food.

Am I sad that you’re gone?

Yes I am

I wish you were still here

To share my life.

But, as I look back

And the joy you gave

I realize how lucky I am

To have been blessed by you.

Loneliness X

I can feel your pain

Throughout the miles

The confusion you feel

Expressed through your words.

It all seems so dark

No end to the road

And words of comfort

Just seem to ring

Like a hollow bell.

I don’t know what to say

Or, even how to help

I guess all I can do

Is to listen and read

So that you know

That you’re not alone.

Wrong Way?

Looking out at the sea

Rolling in or rolling out

Trying to figure

Is it the wrong way

Or, is it right?

Watching the news show on TV

Numbers coming in and coming out

Trying to figure

Is it going left

Or, will it be right?

The Pacific in the west

Or, Atlantic in the east

Wherever you come from

The other will seem wrong.

Republicans on the right

Or, Democrats on the left

Wherever you come from

The other will seem wrong.

God in Heaven

Created both Oceans

In His eyes

He said “They were good!”

God in Heaven

Created this land

Whoever runs it says

“In God we Trust!”

God in Heaven

Rules in Glory:

Right or wrong

Left or right

All that matter is His love!
