Charles Gadbois Poem
No Umbrella In The Rain
All save all of your smiles.
Together, walk a long mile.
Your smiles in the rain.
Wethink the same.
Never in a hurry.
My eyes are blurry.
You walked in my path.
Dreams, our journey will last.
No umbrella or shade.
You're radiant everyday.
The one I can’t live without.
Hold your heart in a music box.
Songs we can dance to.
Leisure in the rain, I’m dazzled.
You walked in my shoes.
We need each other to get through.
You held me up in the dark.
Sentimental, hugs are true.

Charles Gadbois Poem
Skeleton Pen
Can I write you a letter?
On blank paper.
I’m already dead.
Underground resting in shadows rest.
All dance on my grave.
In the moonlight, stay up late.
No tears for me.
Always free in the cemetery.
All be waiting for ya.
Always thinking about you.
All leave the darkness on.
Write poetry in dirt through a song.
Candles are gleaming.
The wax is melting.
All send you my letters to read.
Haven’t forgotten our sweet memories.
All wait no matter how long it takes.
Stop by to visit me at the grave.
A tombstone with your name.
Even though I’m dead, all carry the flame.
No need for flowers.
They live above me everywhere.

Charles Gadbois Poem
Silent Shadows
Lurking in the dark.
No boundaries, free to roam.
Lost spirits.
Vivid images.
Ghostly souls.
Silent Shadows.
Can you see them in the dark?
Haunted houses.
Haunted hotels.
The Paranormal.
Skeptic ghost seekers.
Craving for the darkness.
Eerie hallways.
Distressful feelings.
The dead are watching.
Eyes are staring.
Is your town haunted?
Maybe your family line is cursed.
You seek the dead.
You ponder the ghost that roam.

Charles Gadbois Poem
Race Car
The driver is one with the machine.
Every turn on asphalt would be tires burning.
A V8 with horse power, the car flies down the road.
Turn up the music and push the pedal to the floor.
Need for speed while the tires grip every turn.
What a rush to fly by while the oil burns.
This is the life of a man in a locomotive.
With torque the gears turn crank down shift.
Racing down the speedway on a straight away.
Man and machine compete to win the race.
Just one more lap through the trees down the road.
The checkered flag is just a mile to go.
Drifting around the corner.
Why do race car drivers drink milk when it’s over?
Under the sun the engine is on fire.
Pass by all the slow pokes with power.
Just like a spark plug the lightning keeps striking.
Like a racehorse, it charges to keep on fighting.
Driving fast is like having the feeling of being free.
Just you and your car, this is the way it has to be.

Charles Gadbois Poem
An Amazing Son
I wouldn’t trade you for the world.
I enjoy spending time with ya.
All my belongings will be yours one day.
You will carry out my last name.
I miss you when we're not together.
When I’m gone, I will still be with you forever.
You're growing up too fast.
Together we have a blast.
You're always eating all my food.
Never run out of nachos.
You're an amazing kid.
One day you will be a grown man.
I’m always here when you need me.
Wecould hang out and watch T.V.
You have a great imagination.
You are my son.
One day, you can read all of my writings.
Wecan go out for some chicken wings.
You always make me laugh.
All the girls will be chasing after ya.
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
You can be whoever you want to be.

Charles Gadbois Poem
Battle Cry
Standing on the front line.
Determination to survive.
Yelling out in a chant, Battle Cry.
Encouragement to stand and fight.
We are soldiers
Unity to rage on forward.
We are warriors.
Protect our own.
Side by side with our brothers in arms.
Raise the flag in red white and blue.
Remember the soldiers lost before us.
Across the battlefields, we are one.
Protect us for our freedom
After the bloodshed, come home soon.
Wars are never ending.
Never understanding.
Thank you for taking a bullet.
We will never forget.

Charles Gadbois Poem
Drown With Me
The world is full of judgment.
All eyes are on us.
No matter what we do, it’s wrong to others.
They should look in the mirror as it shatters.
We can escape to a place far away.
Out in the country someday.
A journey into the unknown.
A place where no one will know.
If they set us on fire,
We are one together.
One day all of our enemies will be at our feet.
In flames. It will be their defeat.
Rain anger on the world.
We don’t need them anymore.
I’m not ashamed of the choices I’ve made.
Take my hand and drown with me with no delay.
God can move mountains.
We can stand as one.
Lightning will strike when I call upon the sky.
I know that you will be the one that stands by my side.
The world will never change.
Those who pass judgment will burn in flames.
Drown in the clouds above.
Those who hate will vanish in the sun.

Charles Gadbois Poem
The Boat
Where do you stand in your life?
How do you face tomorrow in flight?
What about the 12 men who were worried in the storm?
Believe and be calm like before.
Knowing that you have lost your way.
Tomorrow brings a brighter day.
On the boat you feared the night.
As the winds blew, yield to the rain that’s in sight.
Carry the lamp that shows the way.
Surpass the raging waters, stand brave.
You have forgotten how much he cares.
Through his voice, nothing else compares.
Sometimes we rush into thorns and worry.
We don’t ask for help in pride, our vision is blurry.
The storm on the boat has subsided.
Through him, sail on the water into the light.
Our lives are short just like the passing wind.
The stripes he carried were in red.
Drift downstream under a colorful sky.
Be open minded and never say good-bye.
Walk on the narrow road.
He will find you no matter how far he has to go.
Along the way he has always been a friend.
One day above, we will meet again.
Luke 8:24

Charles Gadbois Poem
Take Off The Mask
Running from pain?
Hiding from a ruthless society?
What have we become?
An outcast
Always offended
Take of the mask
Be your own man
Set yourself free
Don’t be molded by hate
Don’t follow the crowd
Walk on your own road
Just be you
Don’t need many friends
You can’t please everyone
Don’t say much really
Be a mystery
Words of wisdom
Don’t waste time worrying
It’s someone else's problem
Be a leader not a follower

Charles Gadbois Poem
My Words Echo
I won’t be here forever
One day, ascend through Azure clouds
I’m running out of time
Born to write poetry
Just pondering
Leave all of my writings behind
Save them for my son to read
Running out of ideas
Sometimes, writer's block
Can I write you a poem?
They all have meaning you know
Pen, always writing
Ink, always bleeding
Thoughts, always scrambling
Document your life
Words written in a journal
My words echo
Melody through a piano
Echos unbound
Just writing you a letter
One day, all be dust everywhere
