Strickland Poems | Examples


Picnic By the Lake

Traveling away from the city
to the countryside 
Heading for Strickland Lake
Picnicing by the lake
enjoying a swim

Spending time with family 
Grilling out hamburgers 
hotdogs and sometimes chicken 
Watching people go down 
the water slides and
jumping off the high dive
or diving board
Walking along the board walk

As you sit at the picnic table 
enjoying your grilled out food
Squirrels start gathering around 
looking for food scraps to eat
Sometimes getting up close 
and very personal 

By mid to late afternoon 
you hear rumbles of thunder 
That’s your que that the
picnic is over 
So you head home
with the best of memories

My King. a Poem For Mckye Caleb Strickland

From the first glance inside of me
I smile as I hear your heart beat
So amazed and anxious to meet you
My King.

As I hold you in my arms
I pray for God to shield you from harm
An anointed spirit has come through me
My King

Grow tall my son. Let the wind guide you
Consume all you can. Walk with the heavens beside you
Offer all that you are. Show all that you bring
My King. 

Let your presence shine in the midst of darkness
Don't fear. Be strong. God has already grown your harvest
Make your story a song for the angels to sing
My King.

Although young in age my King
There's a man growing in your soul my King
Preparing for a journey of life to unfold
For...
All to know you
All to learn from you 
All to seek in you

My King
