Diane Wright Poems

Little boys are made of snails and puppy dog tails
But fathers are made of concern and love
Ready to give aid when the going is rough
Or be a throwing partner with a baseball and glove.
...

I had to put you to sleep
It broke my heart to witness your pain
I felt it better to let you go than hang on
Neither of us would have anything to gain.
...

A small brown church sits by the road
Unobtrusive, silent, with memories in store.
The old structure drab in color, yet bold
Was painted brown during the great Civil War.
...

There once was a 4th Century saint named Nicholas
Born near Myra, near Egypt, Greece and Rome
He came from one of the city’s wealthiest families
Not spoiled by riches, but loved to give, it is known.
...

They met by sheer fate
Friendship blossomed, and like the tide
Came in quickly, and they were joined
Never to part, staying side by side.
...

The raven searches for food to consume.
He flies high and low,
Yet none does he find.
He thinks this is not a very good sign.
...

A figure of beauty outlined in white
Catching rays of light so bright
Her face angelic and so serene
Radiance before I've never seen.
...

The leaves are changing colors; red, orange, brown and green.
There is a hint of winter cold weather soon to draw near,
Yet the beauty of God's handiwork makes a landscape serene.
His workmanship says within us we have nothing to fear.
...

The snow is rapidly falling
People scurrying in a fuss
To complete the shopping list
In time for the Christmas rush.
...

Just Me…..
Who is looking at you in love
Who sees your beautiful heart
Who holds you close to me
...
