Christina de Vries Poems

At some point people will make you ask why
When they hurt your heart and make you cry
That is the time when you have to try
...

On my wish list you will not find diamonds or pearls

I wish for trips to outer space and new worlds
...

To acknowledge the need for change
Can be hard to see and hard to do
Even though the need is great
To go after what is good for you
...

Life is about the people we meet
Randomly placed next to your seat
The stranger you helped the other day
The unexpected love that got away
...

The one who is worth your while
Is the one who always makes you smile
Embraces your laughs as much as your tears
Encourages your dreams, helps you through your fears
...

All those years ago we walked
Hand in hand we talked and talked
With no real worries in our heart
We were certain we would never be apart
...

The wind has gotten a little colder
A new range of colors comes out play
As the year grows a little older
Orange, yellow and red fills up the day
...

In that moment when you wonder so
Thinking about where that next step will take you
Finding that hidden right path to go
Based on everything you’ve ever been through
...

When I was little he was my hero with an invisible cape
With stories in books we would together escape
He taught me the joy in words written down
He was my teacher but also my clown
...

Look at you!
You sit there with your hair put up
And that sparkly dress.
