Charlie Spaulding Poems

The pain and grief I try to hide
And all the rage I feel inside;
All the tears and hurt to bear
Sometimes I wonder why we're here;
...

Should I declare myself above another
In worldly wealth and power over my brother
And say to him, "Go thy way, in misery drown-
Little do I care, in luxury do I abound."
...

I sit alone beneath a weeping willow tree
To ponder thoughts I keep in memory;
The sky above is a delicate gentle blue
As were your eyes, alight with love so true.
