Long Jarvis Poems

Deja Vu by Andy Jarvis

History repeats itself,
Or so the saying goes.
But generations come and go,
And no ones left that knows.
All the world powers from Babylon
To the Empire of America,
Have used the sword to get their...

Mother's Day Tribute

To Mother

Things are complicated, and I’m frustrated
And gag to hear you say with parental authority
“When you’re older, you’ll understand better!”

Well, that’s a long way into the future, and I’m present
So spare me the...

Thank you mother,
you birthed me,
you nursed me,
you fed and clothed me.

You loved me,
when seems, the word had loathed me.
I'd not want that love in vain.

However this is not your day.

Thank you mother, 
for your support,

Me Myself and Iphone


How’s the line can you hear me now
I’m getting bad reception

They say these gadgets make life easier
But maybe that’s self deception

I saw seven girls walking by the other day
You’d think out to...

Nothing New Under the Sun.(Satan’s little helpers)

There’s nothing new under the sun,

Regrets

As a boy, I did not know you
Of your existence I was unaware
Life was just a game to be played
Without a purpose, without a care.

But as you do with all your children
With love you watched...

Who’s To Blame?

Did you ever get the blame,
For a crime you didn’t commit?
Did you rant and rave,
Scream for justice
Or quietly submit?

Are you more a man than Adam
Who when found taking from the tree..
Acted like the...

Time Always Tells 

Did you ever feel Jehovah had forgotten how you’ve tried
That your effort and your service went unnoticed?

And will surely, in...

Rainy Days

On a rainy day, the kids can’t play,
But the farmer views it a different way.

As a cloud passes over he’ll anticipate,
That it brings the water which his crops await.

The rain falls from heaven and...

Too Much Noise

This world is full of so much noise
It’s intended to drown out his voice

He’s a soft-spoken one that’s clear to me
But he’s given us all the choice

Those in the city wherever they look

I fell in love with a boy named John
He broke the branches of my heart
It was that painful, but life must go on
I dust myself and head for a fresh start
 
I fell in love...

Promise 

A paradise earth is what you have promised
Where all your creatures shall dwell in peace
The deserts will bloom with food in abundance
All are invited to join in the feast.

No more will the skies drip...

Take my hand and follow me
There’s a new world ahead for us to see
Don’t look back keep straight ahead
Stay close to each other, you’ll feel no dread.
If you only do but trust in He

I heard an angel speak last night he said
"I am here to represent the joy that is ahead"

Standing in the entrance an angel made of stone
with wings spread as to take flight
and carry Gods chosen...

Who is Like You?

Who can be compared to you,
Our God of Might and Splendour
Of justice, wisdom, uprightness 
And love which is so tender
Who can offer you advice
Or correct you in your ways?
Or amount for themselves...

Road Rage

Growing Pains

The fearful child inside of you
Says that’s who you still are.

The wounds inflicted when we’re young
Can leave behind a scar.

You’ll never amount to anything,
You’re not worthy to be here

And so he puts his doubts...

Norman Rockwell
Rockwellesque



brilliant man with nostalgia values

with dreams viewed of a perfect life 

depicting amusing scenes

with sense of humor, shown

with heartwarming bonds

memories fade

canvas art

captures

Her battles now are through
