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.
