Louisa Ritchotte Poem
Father I know your listening
to all I have to say
and when you hear me whisper
I know you'll see my way
even when I'm grown-up
and wearing pretty clothes
you'll surely even remember
when I was three years old
but those days have passed us by
and now that you are gone
I'll always see you smile
from dust till early dawn
your memories are with me always
as is the tide that waves
and when I'm there beside you
I'll have so much to say.

Louisa Ritchotte Poem
Thoughts of him I write today,
Remembering the day he went away,
His pain was just so unfair,
Disease of cancer none can bear,
With tears upon my older face,
Still I see the empty space,
I see his silly little smile,
How he danced with so much style,
Winters when we played in snow,
And ran inside when we were cold,
Evenings sitting by the fire,
With the one I so desire,
Catching a nap and holding hands,
Our love was always really grands,
Thinking of him after all these years,
Makes me know I deserve these tears.

Louisa Ritchotte Poem
She sits to watch the ladybug
a little child a lovely smile
so ever slow she didn't know
that reaching out would make it go
a gentle touch the ladybug moves
not very much she find a groove
she claps her hands with pure delight
then she stands to watch its flight
ladybug flies not knowing where
as the child watches in a stare
she waves bye-bye.the little child
watching nature for awhile.

Louisa Ritchotte Poem
I sit here and write
in my book tonight
Wonder why others
have everything right
I wonder about things
i have no control
My minds always going
it does nothing slow
Day till night
i find things to do
And never stop
till I'm faithfully through
The stress of life
can be redefined
Just for a moment
give it some time.

Louisa Ritchotte Poem
I think back to many a year
when Christmas time was very dear
our tree aglow with lights and fruit
having spent many hours in rubber boots
trudging the woods for that special tree
snow had fallen clear up to our knees
we'd trim and cut then make a stand
our Christmas tree just looked so grand
we dried some fruit that hung with care
even strung popcorn which was very rare
the lighted candles stood so tall
praying each night that they wouldn't fall
our Christmas time so very merry
none of that rush with cash and carry
we had things made like socks an shirts
never worried if the shirt didn't work
stockings were filled with fruit and nuts
we never expected or had very much
oh i think back to toughs wonderful days
wishing many could have seen our ways.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Louisa Ritchotte Poem
She could see all this in her mind
even though she hadn't been there
it was in June with flowers in bloom
the sun very bright that morning
mom humming in the next room
she stopped to kiss me and said so long
gave me a hug and said, "I Love You"
she heard the car start
she ran to the window she was already gone
tears filled my eyes as she toys to remember
what was it she heard how can she recall
it was in the moment that those words
came to mind
"I Love You darling" see you tonight
so many years have gone by it seems so surreal
this Mother's Day makes it seem so real.
Dedicated to MY Mom
On Mother's Day 2007

Louisa Ritchotte Poem
I remember years ago
when we had no heat
It was just so awful
we had frozen feet
The floors were cold
each and every week
When we ate dinner
it was rarely a treat
Everyone would huddle
it was no easy feat
You ate very quickly
left the table in defeat
Now things are different
and there's plenty of heat
Even though expensive
we have heat each week.

Louisa Ritchotte Poem
Bluebirds fly towards the fluffy clouds
in a row and chirping loud
seeking solace far away
there'll be back
on another day .

Louisa Ritchotte Poem
Spring , red breasted robins
flowers sprouting a peek
sun bright an high above
days seem longer
with warm nights alight
high mountains melt
rivers fear overflow
gardens ready for planting
tomatoes soon ripe
golden corn delight
uncovered pools shine
green is the green
leaves fill the trees
bee are a buzzing
time for others
spring has passed
at last summer.

Louisa Ritchotte Poem
He felt her standing close to him
looking down he felt a grin
she seems so tiny and quite thin
as he looked he saw her chin
he moved a step to the right
as she moved in his plain sight
she looked up, smiled so sweet
connected a second on the street,
he tried to speak to her that day
just as she turned to walk away
he stood there watching for awhile
like a silly little child,
he walked along the quiet bay
moving slowly he saw her sway
her lovely face had turned his way
wishing he more what could he say,
she turned to wait for him that day
his heart beating fast away
soon she stood in front of him
close enough to see her grin,
one second in time is all they knew
that love together could come true
no more hurrying after her
now she's his he wants no more.
