Best Pickard Poems

Sometimes when life falls apart at the seams
Just sit by yourself and begin to daydream
Think back, if you can, to pleasurable times
Chill for a while and rest the mind
Daydream about life and the people you love
Gaze at cotton clouds and blue skies above
Think back to...

There is a young man who loved the sea
He could read the stars and winds by age three
He loved to venture along the Alaska shores
Leaning the ocean at the age of four
He would read of the sea and mother natures storms
How quickly, from nowhere, the...

Reality

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Death will come to all of us
Bottled ashes or six feet underground
Thoughts are empty; we utter no sound
Here today, maybe gone tomorrow
Feeling lost, saddened with sorrow
The body forms at birth and, in the end, turns to dust
The death you see...

The Window

From her kitchen window, she stares through the glass
Remembering her love who has recently passed 
Daydreams of times she would begin to tear 
Love so strong throughout the years 
The empty feeling way down inside 
No longer around to stand by her side 
It's...

Years ago, someone caught my eye
The smell of perfume and her beauty as she passed by
She sad just finished a dance and was exiting the floor
I was shy but asked if she could dance once more
She placed her tiny hands in mine, and we started...

Born terminal 
Ashes to ashes dust to dust 
Death will ultimately come to us 
Here today and hopeful tomorrow 
The end comes quick then overcome by sorrow 
One day it will arrive for each one of us 
The death you see is a terminal must...

Aging

As I grow older from twig to tree
I realized age doesn't bother me 
When I was young, time went by so slow
One thing about time you'll never outgrow
I've aged quite well, so it seems
My restful sleep brings restful dreams 
My grandkids are grown, and my...

Friends forever. 


One of my best friends died today
Left me before I had the chance to say

Exactly what I always wanted to express
My favorite friend one of my best

Friends from the beginning friends to the end
Best of friends so deep within

Friends are those you'll love...

First Love 
I thought about my very first love last night 
I dreamed I kissed and squeezed her so tight
On several occasions, she still comes to mind
The love she gave was so soft and kind 
She still rents a place in my heart. 
Though time...

Aging puppet

When I opened my eyes, I recall the weirdest dream 
I was an aging puppet time breaking my strings
Years ago, I enjoyed a younger life 
Now my strings are being cut by an age-old knife  
Being young and healthy is our biggest prize...

A New Life
When a baby is born, it's like a fresh spring day
Being a healthy one is what all parents pray 
The pain and struggle a mother indulges 
With bigger breast and stomach that bulges 
Cute as a button when they arrive 
The kicking, the...

Night Flying
Have you ever flown at night In your dreams
Jump up to fly, so easy it seems  
Climb higher and higher, touching the stars
Circle the Earth, the Moon Jupiter, and Mars
You turn right or left with a tilt of your hands
Travel the world seeing...

Poetry

Poetry comes from deep down within
Expressing your feelings from beginning to end 
The smooth flow of words create a distinctive rhyme 
Writing creative thoughts on a seamless line 
You can write on paper thoughts locked in your head 
Detailed reviews of what you have said...

Memories. 

Memories are thoughts stored from the past
Many are lost; others seem to last 
When you think of good times way back then 
Just being alone or time with a friend 
You think of your first love or your first kiss 
There are indeed good...

Youth
When we were young, nothing worried us at all.
From spring through summer through winter and fall 
We built forts from boxes some four feet high 
We climbed trees like monkeys some went to the sky 
We ate everything like mud cookies and chocolate swirls 
Made...
