Silly Billy

Silly Billy doesn’t think quit straight
Dropped on his head as a child by mistake
Sometimes he drools, stinks, and is late
Sometimes he sits quietly waiting for cake
But each quiet night upon his knees
Silly Billy clasps his hands and bows with ease
Father- oh Father- my heart’s full of thee
Thankful to you what you have given me

So glad to enjoyed it! This is on of my earlyest works. I think I was in high school Sr. Honor's English class. Mr. Bryant, my teacher inspired me to start writing poetry- so I did.
