Joseph T. Renaldi Poems

Thank you for your understanding, dear.
At times I was not forthright.
I was overwhelmed within and dwelled
on my own personal problems and doubt.
...

A sturdy, metalic pole is standing tall
with a flag waving as proudly as can be,
and at the highest point of the pole
is a bronze eagle for everyone to see.
...

Butterflies are magnificient
with their brightly colored wings and design.
They are a gift of nature that will appear
during the earlier days of summertime.
...

The backbone of the United States
is not the large and boisterous cities,
but all the towns and hamlets far and wide
with people of noble character and serenities.
...

Oh, the years gone by, the years gone by!
The trees in the orchard, and passage through the rye.
The mourning dove and the shrill of the quail
as it skipped across the yard gingerly as well
...

There is a pleasant aroma winging,
Colorful birds are singing,
and the robust bees are buzzing all day.
My companion and I walk slowly together
...

The walkin closet holds many fond memories
where one often likes to browse.
The thoughts are always overwhelming
and the emotions slowly begin to rouse.
...

Notable things done by women and men
who, having failed will try again,
who risk their reputation to venture out,
and having ventured, never doubt,
...

Indubitably, that before each sun set
you will witness deeds you can't forget,
A supportive hand to one in pain,
A sacrifice for love - not gain,
...
