| MY POETRY |
| A CHILD The biggest of hearts The strongest of wills A knowledge that's uncanny And looks that could kill A capacity for love That nothing can rival As clumsy as sin As blameless as a bible Always a reminder Of a life left behind And a future that binds With the passage of time Nothing can compete With a feeling of home Except for a life With a child of your own. Terry L. Childs |
| MY GUARDIAN ANGEL A wonderful Mother And a Grandmother too Hair of red flame And eyes of deep blue Always a kind word Every word true A heart full of gold And a temper to match too. Always around When you needed to cry Supplying a laugh To help you get by She will always be with me No matter the time or place I know that she is watching With a smile upon her face. Terry L. Childs |
| A TREASURE OF TIME A little cup and saucer Painted with pink, yellow,and green Made by two small hands A present to be seen It's own little stand The same colors as the rest With a few imperfections Staying in lines wasn't the best It's weathered many years For everyone to see Then it was passed on again Passed back to me With a few chips here A little dust there It's made it through quite nicely From my little hands Came a treasure of time Now with it's memories It's a treasure of mine. Terry L. Childs |
| MY DEATH If I were dying would you still cherish me All your days even after I'm gone Or would I want you to leave me At the end of the good So that all your memories would be strong Would our love last throughout the pale and the sick As the days wore on and the years came quick Would you still see through the beauty of my soul That would outlast my face anyday as I lay in the ground cold. As my end grows nearer do I let you love me forever from one perfect memory Or do I let us love together in the face of my terminal malady. Terry L. Childs |
