Wish
If I had one wish that wish would be
to have you read my poetry.
Just a line or two I think would do
to let you know how much I love you.
Oh, would that I could take your hand
and walk with you in the promised land.
A land of peace and quiet and harmony;
where we could live our lives in ecstasy.
And each night I could touch your face
and dwell with you in some secret place.
A place of love that never knew strife
and a place of kindness for every life.
And where each day I could love you
and give you the things I wanted to.
I would dress you in harmonious happiness
and clothe you in love's peaceful bliss.
Never again would a frown cross your face
because a lovely smile would take its place.

The Rose Bush
There was a rose near where I live
sweet nectar to the bee it did give
Unfolded in all its beauty so devine
I looked at it each day and it was mine
Until one day it withered and died
Beauty lost, I silently cried
So beauty comes and beauty goes
but, next year there will be a rose
The bush by itself is there and strong
waiting for a new season to come along
So, with faith I wait patiently
for another rose one day to see

I Wonder Why
Many times I wonder why
Why some live
and why some die
Why some work
and why some Play
Why some steal
and why some pray
The answer eludes me
but, I still wonder why
Why some get to love
and why some have to cry
