Donna Nimmo Poems

As I sit on that glorious seat
My pants resting up on my feet
Thinking, toilet paper such a cost
Use it once and then it's lost
...

She was a gentle elderly lady
Who was always helping everyone, not shady
She tended to the sick and gave to the poor
She loved all so much, she was so pure
...

I would love to be an eagle
I would take off and fly beyond the clouds
If it rained a little, I wouldn't mind
At least I would be with my own kind
...

If only you could see through my eyes
You would see beauty and sadness and even cries
If only you could glimpse into my mind
You would see pain and memories so unkind
...

You came in seeking to destroy and ravage a city
You took so many lives and homes what a pity
Families separated, bused here and there
Some never to find each other any where
...

Sitting in a bath tub, filled with bubbles
Soaking and erasing all my troubles
Staying in the water till your skin gets wrinkled
Spraying your hair you are getting sprinkled
...

I reached for your hand, It wasn’t there
I needed your heart, you didn’t care
I was born to you, you couldn’t love me
I was a mistake, you needed to be free
...

Don't want to live
Don't want to die
Sometimes I just need to cry
So I get out paper and pen
...

They have found an answer for social security
Put them in a nursing home, no liability
Medicaid and medicare will probably have to pay
Then they'll only live a year or two and become their prey
...

Hello Mr. I don't know your name
Pain is my past, but you're not to blame
My heart, I have built a wall around
No more hurt for me, I stand my ground
...
