Best Waugh Poems
Brideshead RevisitedI lay awake in that dark hour and was reflecting on my life
From all the travelling I had done to the breakup with my wife
I was an architectural painter and was very successful too
And after leaving Oxford University that's what I'd wanted to do.
But...

My Friend, My Wife, My DearMy Friend, My Wife, My Dear
There was this real old couple,
Very much in love for years.
I can’t recall a single day,
When he didn’t call her Dear.
They went everywhere together,
He would always hold her hand.
Their favorite place...

ThanksTo all our men and woman,
from the rich to wearing rags.
The ones who fight for freedom,
and honor our great flag.
God bless you and we thank you,
where ever you may roam.
At night I say a prayer for you,
so you all will make it home.
At times...

Talk With Me a WhileTalk with me a while
Would you bring me flowers,
And place them on my grave.
Sit and talk with me a while,
and show me, you can be brave.
Tell me how much you love me,
We missed so much time apart.
And wishing we could go back...

Walking bare foot in the sand....

Dream State Yields Deep Sleep PersonificationsDream state yields deep sleep personifications
Upon lying supine - eye shutter lids
into the land of Wynken, Blynken, and Nod,
where the sandman beckons and bids
dead to the webbed wide world,
yours truly immune to wakefulness
despite being tasered courtesy cattle prod,
or struck by lightning hurled
by the...

It Might Be An AngelMight Be An Angel
Have you ever heard a whisper,
You look around, but no one ‘s there.
Did it give you chills and goose bumps,
Or did it just raise your hair.
It just might be an Angel,
That is walking next to you.
A loved one...

40 of 93timing is everything
time now to say it,
had 11, 77, and 175
had what you had,
been shown what you saw,
heard what you heard,
told what you told,
they'd have done
what you did
still, no matter
self-destiny is
inherent in us all,
most apparent in you,
oblivion faced with fear,
but still faced...eyes open,
outshines dark...

These Old Combat BootsThese Old Combat Boots
These old combat boots,
have sure been through a lot.
Hiking through rice patties,
It’s the only pair I got.
Walking miles on patrol,
They never get a break.
Going up and down the mountains,
How much more can these boots take.
Most of the time, there always wet,
Not much...

Our Country's FlagOur Country’s Flag
Why won’t people stand,
For our country’s flag.
It has a lot more meaning,
Than an old faded rag.
A lot of people died,
For the Red, White & Blue.
All you disrespectful people,
You don’t even have a clue.
Where did we go wrong,
When did you lose your...

1 Step Forward, 3 Steps BackWhy is life such a struggle?
like your life has this big crack.
You take one big step forward,
And life knocks you three steps back.
You just can’t seem to get ahead,
No matter how hard you try.
Some days are worse than others,
And it just makes you want to...

How Amazing Would That BeHow Amazing Would That Be
I f you could spend one day in heaven,
How amazing would that be.
To visit loved one’s who passed away,
All your friends and family.
I would sit with my father, one more time,
just to see his big warm smile.
and tell him how...

The Gift of LoveThe Gift of Love
I thought I would always be lonely,
But I was given the gift of love.
She is so kind and understanding,
an Angel sent to me from above.
No matter how bad things, may seem to get,
She is always there to help me fight.
She will...

I love the way you smile,
And I love your Beautiful eyes.
You are like the perfect sunrise,
That just lingers in the skies.

You're like birds singing in the trees.

The World Through My EyesThe World Through My Eyes
This world is full of Beauty,
Such amazing things to see.
The rivers running wild,
In the fall those colorful leaves.
The stars at night just sparkling,
And clouds of pretty Blue.
Flowers blooming everywhere,
With Monarch Butterfly’s too.
I couldn’t help but notice,
The birds were singing today.
The Bees...
