Best Lefebvre Poems

It’s said that God bestows on us, each and every soul,
A special gift just meant for us, to make our lifetime whole.
How often I have thought about what gift was to be mine.
I waited for His one bequest to make my earth years shine.
 
I've...

There was a little dog one day,
Who ambled on his aimless way.
He didn't have a house or home:
A doggy bed or fine meat bone.

His coat was mats and full of fleas.
He owned no boy to try and please.
Near garbage bin was where he sat,
Along with...

It started with his dad, you see;
Those many years ago.
At first there was just gramps and she,
But then he joined the show.

Raising him into a man 
Was something to behold.
Many days it seemed the 
Only thing they did was scold.

But yet there were those other...

Many years have passed on by since the 'happening' on that night.
Long before huge bigfoot feet were causing such a fright.
A humid eve and very warm, yet simply summer fare. 
I'd left the draperies open to let in late cool night air.

My spouse was in...

Fourteen came and went that year and as his light grew dim;
I thought of time so swiftly passed since life gave breath to him.
I stroked him and I held him near, remembering moments flown;
The sunny day, late in spring, when first I brought him home.

This...

My name is here,
But you'll not find me.
I am with my best friends
Near the clear, salt sea.
 
We are in the wind,
In the ocean's roar:
On the smooth, cool stones
Of some sandy shore.
 
We are in the waves,
As they break on the rocks.
Here time has no...

They sit inside a thin glass dome below the face of time.
Four orbs upon a pedestal; all move in perfect rhyme.
Some years ago their movement stopped, no longer to and fro.
The pendulum ceased its swinging and refused to do the show.
 
The clock continued ticking,...

When we wonder about Heaven, 
What it's like and who'll be there?
If we think of all God promised; 
Maybe we should speak in prayer.

Talk to Him about devotion. 
Mention those here by our knee.
All their years of total friendship, 
Endless love and loyalty.

Pray that He...

Poor Thomas Turkey,
Alone in his pen.
Sits solemn and scared,
For they 'did in' his hen.
 
They took her off Sunday,
Then snuffed out her life.
And now he's alone,
Cause they've eaten his wife.
 
Thanksgiving now over,
He preens with relief.
He can muster a gobble,
Along with his grief.
 
He pecks...

Pointed white ears - distorted
Through a window pane,
Twitch to the sound of
Footsteps on the walk way.

They wait - still as twin statues
Carved in alabaster.

Then - eye contact
Through a glistening glass.

Not a muscle moves, not a sound!

Key into the doorway of their world
Turns swiftly,
Its companions jingling...

The strong gust of wind was cut off from its source; a frigid early spring blast that swept across a lofty mountain range, high above British Columbia.

It then encircled one of the lesser peaks and swooped down upon the slippery ice pack below, reaching out...

Millie Mable Millipede was worried by the news.
Mike and Molly Millipede would soon need winter shoes.
Their itsy, bitsy, tiny feet, until now free and bare,
Were leaving cold and frosty foot prints almost everywhere.

Winter soon would visit, with the ground all hard and white.
A millipede not...

If when I get to heaven and I find no creatures there.
My grief will feel like here on earth: my heart still know despair.
For pets are what sustain me when living lets me down,
Turning grey days into sunshine: coaxing laughter from a frown.

No sadness is...

Teddy was our mongrel dog who kept coming back to stay,
When my parents gave him up because we had to move away.
Three times my father took him back to live at his new home,
But we'd find him on our doorstep when he got the urge...

I’ve not scaled the highest mountain, nor sailed the deepest sea,
But I’ve held my children in my arms and that’s enough for me.
I never walked upon the moon: repelled down steep ravines,
But the bedtime tale, told a little child, is far greater than it seems.

I...
