M Dirrigl Poem
I could not find a pair of socks
To wear to school today
And if I missed the bus again
There would be hell to pay
I thought that I looked everywhere
I looked inside my drawer
I checked a bag from last week’s lunch
In the corner on the floor
I found some change inside my jeans
I found some chewed gum too
I found a sock that I had left
balled up inside a shoe
And when I went to put it on,
I realized something sad
The hot pink sock just did not match
My uniform of plaid
My mother called from down the stairs
“The bus is almost here
You really better hurry up
And get your butt in gear!”
And as I searched the house, I thought
“Oh man, I’m really dead”
Then suddenly it came to me,
There are socks beneath my bed
I climbed the stairs so quickly
I was almost out of air
I put my socks on really fast
And briefly brushed my hair
I grabbed my hat, my pack, and coat
And I was out the door
But when I got onto the bus
My jaw dropped on the floor
For even though I made the bus
(And with no time to lose)
I shuddered with embarrassment
I was not wearing shoes

M Dirrigl Poem
Our children grow as flowers
In the garden of our lives
Their roots are firmly planted
So each fragile seedling thrives
And grows into a blossom
That stands straight, and strong, and tall
So oneday each can stretch its stem
Beyond our garden wall

M Dirrigl Poem
There is an angel that I know
Who’s not yet won her wings
But, practicing for Heaven,
Does many loving things
She graces me with comfort
Puts calm where there is fear.
So may God bless this angel whom
I hold so very dear
