My Poetry
Lost in a Dream
When you are lost in a dream your heart tells the truth
About what you feel and know and think.
Sometimes it leads to despair
Or a slow realization,
But remember what you feel is real
Orphan Child
Oh orphan child, why don’t you cry?
You were abandoned as a baby
Left alone as a child
On your own becoming a person
Shown no mercy as an adult
Your life has been full of pain and sorrow
Yet you move on ready to help, save, and forgive
Being the encouragement to others no one ever was to you
Oh orphan child, you help when they cry.

Unknown until seen
in a simple blade of grass
a beautiful creation
Children
How can a child be so reckless
but also pleasing?
Ruthless?
Positive
Repetitive?
Persistent
Rejecting?
Practical
Patient
Regardless of all?
They are able to hurt
and love
Give
and take
Children just can…
Free
Feet dancing
Fancy free
Forever living
One step closer to the end
A new beginning
Reaching out as far as can be
for that new thing
Finally,
your goal is reached
