Andrew Stagles Poem
Mother nature’s done her duty
Way above and beyond,
She’s brought the land to life again
She’s waved her magic wand.
She’s woken all the flowers up,
Sprinkled rain drops on their heads,
Now she’s sent the sunshine out
To raise them from their beds.
She dresses all the trees in green,
She gives the grass its dew,
But she’s not finished quite just yet
She’s still got much to do.
Now that winter’s over,
She must clear away the snow,
And she has to tell the North wind
“You’re not allowed to blow!”
Now let me tell you a story
Which my mother told to me,
It’s all about the world
And how things came to be,
Well, you know that it was God
Who said, "Let there be light”?
But did you know that Mother Nature
Was the one who made the night?
She put the moon up in the sky
Where the sun could make it glow,
Then she use its magnetism
To make the rivers flow.
The stars up in the heavens,
She painted them so bold,
They’ve inspired every poet
And every story ever told.
You see, God in his wisdom,
Gave the world a woman’s touch,
And he knew no one but a mother
Would love this world so much.

Andrew Stagles Poem
My thoughts like vultures circle the remains of your memory
The prey is my love for you, why it does not die I do not know
My heart betrays me, but I can not betray my heart.
Dreams can’t be reasoned with; the past can not be swept under the carpet
The mere mention of your name rips the mask of indifference from my face.

Andrew Stagles Poem
I strolled along the river bank, in shade of woodland tree’s
Fragrant wild flower scent, was hanging in the breeze
There in amongst the colours, of every green you’ve ever seen
I came across a waterfall, in the mid drift stream
Sunlight played in the waterfall, a glory to behold
Shining in its crystals, turning them to gold
Then I spied fisherman, all white with webbed feet
Ah a hungry Herron, was out for bite to eat
I sat near where the dragonfly’s darted in and out the reeds
I watch them, as listened to the bird’s among the trees
I paddled in stream felt cold water on my toes
I laid back on grass, and let the flowers kiss my nose
And as I gazed upon the havens, two cloud were riding by
They look like giant horses, white stallions in the sky
Later I chanced upon a glade, where I stop to have a rest
There I saw a sparrow, collecting Foliage for its nest
It hoped, n bobbed, and skipped about, as busy as could be
Though it is a simple thing, a pleasure it was to see.
Then I climbed a near by hillside to reach higher ground
So I could look upon the beauty of this valley I had found
The sun drape low in the sky, the day it had grown old
The river like a mirror was shining green and gold.
That when I herd their call, then they caught my eye,
Group wild geese, were silhouette against the sky,
Their beauty magnified, by the backdrop of an amber sunset,
Which crowned the dusk of this summers day, I’ll not soon forget.
