School Poems

I‘ll have a Bailey’s Irish cream thank you and 
keep them coming.
You know it’s not fair really.
I just went to my mother’s funeral.
That , forgive me but there is no other word,
That  died before I could tell her
what I...Read More

A sunny day for you,
a sunny day for me.
A day to say,
I love you.
A day for you to say,
you love me too.

back to normal holds a hopeful ring —
    presently, the ding spurs us into a boxing spar

our refuge - our home
    becomes a multipurpose cage

school, workplace, nursing station, cafeteria
     ailments...Read More

On the horses we go round and round,
Though we don’t go anywhere at all;
Just round and round there we go,
The rich, the poor, the large, and the small.

The children at school learning one, two three,
The students at university studying for...Read More

At my prom, I was a flower on the wall
To fade into obscurity I wanted to crawl
Shy and withdrawn
In my gown of chiffon
Scared of the girlies, I wasn't enthralled

Woven are these pages in poetic verse,

With bare threads of our deepest feelings,

You will find laughter, tears and remorse,

and words of wisdom, prayer and healings.


 

Healings now come from prayer,

On my knees I will be,

Did I just see an angel...Read More

Father left, 33 was she-
The mother who had raised five children single handedly
Three left the country,
Now left with her are just me and my brother, see?

Mother closed her shop
So we can focus
And to stop work is our job,
Now we're living...Read More

When the news of a child is heard by the parents,
They buy a lot of presents.
For their cute & little child,
Who's skin will be so soft n mild.
And finally when the child is born as a girl or boy,
They buy...Read More

She did not have a name.
No one knew it anyway
Or cared to know it
She looked weird

That was enough for her classmates
They did not invite her to play dates
She did not talk or laugh
She was not fun to be around

She had...Read More

Oh gossip where is your sting,
you are here today and hurting others for days to come.
Oh gossip how shy you are,
pretending to say nothing to anyone.
Oh gossip to say and to hear can't you just go away,
go away and don't...Read More

The one that wakes me up in the night

Its bad enough with millions out of work
But many of those millions have loans
They struggle to make due to get out
With all they can gather together
Just to have enough for another day.

One job isn't enough
Two jobs isn't gonna cut it
Three...Read More

"My heart still feels those times spent in the warmth - from the poem 'What the eye sees the heart cannot forget."   (A line from an Eve Roper poem)



Spent our summers as kids
on Grandpa and Grandma's farm,
always something...Read More

Children come and children go.
And in between we watch them grow.
Through the good times and the bad.
Through happy moments as well as the sad.

We heal their hurts of body and soul.
To keep their secrets only a parent would know.
Walk them...Read More

It is perhaps the hurried way I walk,
May be the manner in which I talk,
Or is it the subtle perfume I wear,
That tells a Gynaecologist is near! 

When I park my car, head up stairs,
I see patients sat on waiting...Read More

A dream of a sweet soft kitten,
a cuddly kitten to hold and love,
daily friendship and fun.

A dream of the morning daybreak,
bright colors now appearing,
sun coming up like the middle of a dream.

A dream that has turned into a nightmare,
gory details...Read More

I need my childhood
Where life was good
Small but huge heart
Running to Sunday school
To be filled with gospel
And memorize verses
I love my past

Unfortunately it is my future
Life harsh and rude
Huge but small heart
Running to movie shops
To be filled with latest
And build...Read More

Jimmy went to Spain back in 84
With some of his school pupils
It was a week and cost 149
A couple of teachers went along
To keep any eye on the kids
Who were only 12 and underage!

Not allowed into the local discos
The age...Read More
