Best Barany Poems

She came to visit quite often
A girl much younger than me,
I was there when she was born
And gave a party when she turned three.

She was always at my house
As a teen I watched her weep
When she sat at the kitchen table
And stated"This baby I can't...

The young man worked quietly
His Dad had been away,
But he was full of emotion
His Dad would return today.

He had carved the wood with perfection
His Dad would be so pleased,
His Mom helped him gather daisies
In the warm September breeze.

The limousine pulled in the drive
The boy saluted...

She smiled at him on the stairwell
He smiled at the man at the door,
He in turn said "Good Morning"
To the lady sweeping the floors.

She nodded at the passer by
Who then turned around,
And gave a smile to the little girl
Who was wearing such a frown.

The little...

I have coffee with Jesus
Yes, of course I do
My coffee is on my night stand
And I speak to him of you.

I tell him of past events
Of how I let you down,
And how are one time closeness
Has shut completely down.

I ask for your forgiveness
When I spoke...

Please come and find me
You know I'm alone,
Please come and find me
So I can go home.

Have you even been looking
Between the earth and the sky,
Did you not notice
Or not even try.

Please come and find me
So I won't feel so afraid,
Have you forgotten promises broken
And promises...

So you want to be an angel?
The good Lord said to me,
Do you think it will be easy
To be spiritual and free?

He said "I guess we'll try it"
So he sent me here to live,
He told me I would learn a lot
On how to take, and...

It was a loving relationship
Meant only to enjoy,
Never to be analyzed,
Not intended to destroy.

It was nice at the beginning
Full of warmth, and love and fun
Until the day it fell apart
In this game that no one won.

I suppose someday if we meet again
And by chance we...

The swollen eyes are from lack of sleep,
The shaking hands she hides.
She can't remember important dates
But oh, how she does try.

The hair that once was washed and curled
Has turned a dirty grey.
And if a friend came by for tea
That would truly ruin her day.

The headaches...

LAKE OF THE WOODS

As I sit here gazing at my view of this magnificent lake I feel inspired, and simply genuine as a human being.

It is a cool April day, very sunny with a more than gentle breeze coming through my window.
The brown grass in...

I remember when they chopped my down
And placed me in a truck,
They told me I'd be happy
And I was definitely in luck.

I was told I'd been chosen
To give some girls and boys,
A very Happy christmas,
And on my branches would be toys.

I was to have lights...

He was ten years old this year
Although he's not around,
He didn't get to play,
Or to hear a single sound.

He didn't know of laughter
And he never read a book,
He never saw a sunrise
Or played beside a brook.

He new nothing of baseball
Or exciting hockey games
He never had...

He had been laying in a coma
For days, and weeks on end,
The Doctor finally said
No more can we pretend.

I think we must do something
For his body to let it rest,
There is nothing more to do
There is no other test.

He was speaking to the family
And they...

My friend called from Arizona
Says it's pretty hot,
He sent me a little gift,
He's in Arizona, But I'm not.

Told me to give it a thought,

She's in Europe, but I'm not.

For his house...

He arrived with golden wings
And knocked upon my door
I couldn't wait to answer it
So I ran across the floor.

He asked if he could come inside
And spend a little time,
I offered him a cup of tea
But from the tap he poured some wine.

He asked me to...
