Graves of the Lefties

Imagine a lovely garden , tea for two , and this story...
                      for only to me , came a poem from His breath
                   
                      The world He'd done right , ' cept some Irish that were left
                      So He took these lefties to reason things out

                      For the Irish don't worry , and never seem to pout

                      With tears in their words , like their vows said in chapel
                      Only lefties of the Irish gut a poem with a scalpel

                      It pains me so , when the righties lament
                      From the poems that are written in the Irish cement

A Father's Mantle

There's a mirror in the mantle , in the dust and the mold
It hangs like a poem , with a story to be told

Now it's pitted and boned , and reflects only cracks
By a candle that flickers , dripping tears full of wax

A story of neglect , like some hinge full of rust
Of words never written , of a Father's trust

Gone in those books , with a poet on the spine
Sleep knights full of armor , and thrones masculine

This mirror in the mantle , with reflections now dim
Once looked over a family and father within

Now it's forgotten , and waits on the wall
To beam a reflection that covers us all

It's pitted and boned , like a scroll by the sea
And hangs like the Savior still looking at me
