david lessard Poems

You've a great mind,
and you have got a goal;
You've a heart of laughter,
But do you have a soul?
...

This day is yours my Lord,
As each one of them are,
You watch the world revolve,
know the names of every star.
...

should i care, that you no longer want me?
should i care, that you now, never speak my name?
it's been a struggle and a heartbreak,
now we're left to wonder...just who's to blame.
...

Time...she is a fleeting thing,
A rainbow, a bird on the wing,
A brief shower, a song to sing,
A picture, a sweet and lovely fling,
...

I missed you today...you were not around,
to cheer me up, to make me laugh or frown;
you were somewhere else, possibly in space,
I missed your warming smile, and funny face.
...

Out here, the sun is so much brighter,
The views are sharper, much more clear;
The load is not so heavy, much more lighter,
Out here, there's nothing but God to fear.
...

Where were you all those years?
You were safe and hidden in my heart;
Thoughts of you were always with me,
Though not physically together,
...

I didn't realize I had so much stuff,
until I moved,
Then I realized I had too much stuff,
but I threw nothing away;
...

I don't want to be the first to say,
'I told you so, ' but I told you so;
This love of ours would never last,
Why was I the final one to know?
...

When I was seventeen...it was a terrible year,
I quit high school and struck off on my own;
I bummed around, looking for work and such,
I did a lot of complaining, like bitch and moan.
...
