Someone I used to call a friend

Hello, why it’s been a long time, I didn’t even see you there, Funny, but I usually see you everywhere, It looks as though the years have treated you well, As for me, well there are a few stories I could tell Oh, I was just in town, passing through, Haven’t been here for aContinue reading “Someone I used to call a friend”

The flower 🌼

Flower in the garden, Planted with care, Attended to in the soil, Watered for and fed, Springs up, Full bloom, Appreciated right there, For sale sign placed in ground, People move out, New move and build a home, Lawn moved over, Flower in the ground shredded and tossed, all its beauty lost. ©Rob Spencer 2021

Natural Disaster

Looking for a world I remember, One I used to know, It wasn’t perfect And I’ve got memories to show, But love was easy to find, A friend was around and often kind, There was a new dawn every day, Optimism lead the way, The weathered storm came and went, Much of the population were farContinue reading “Natural Disaster”

Slow Burn I packed up all my dreams, And locked them all away, I vowed never to try again, Not after I failed that way, For years I never looked back, I kept my desire at bay, I wouldn’t let it rise again, I always turned away, But the fire still burned, And slowly theContinue reading “First post this month”

A day of sincerity

If I should die before tomorrow comes, Cry not one tear, Carry on ignoring me like you did the day before, If I should die before tomorrow comes, Carry on laughing, partying and living, With the wonderful friends you said were better than me, If I should die before tomorrow comes, Don’t spend a singleContinue reading “A day of sincerity”

Another taken “from the archives”

Step out into the sunshine, give it a try, Step out into the sunshine, Just do it and you’ll see why, Look, there’s no clouds, no rain, No  thunder, no snow, Today there’s just the rays, And the blue clear sky, So step out into the sunshine, And I’m talking about your inner soul, CauseContinue reading “Another taken “from the archives””
