Lawerence Mize, Sr. Poems

Bad people around
everywhere you go
pulling you down
letting you know
...

A father's heart
is very strong
Can take life's hits
weather any storm
...

I'm in a glen...deep in the woods.
See my brother Bob...knew I would.
Been a lot of places.
He and I.
...

A little girl
to bounce on daddy's knee
Someone to love
and fill a need
...

Will my last day
Start as any other
Will I get to kiss my wife goodbye
My friend, my lover
...

Oil still flowing
Its odor fouls the air
Tar ball spreading
Staining beaches everywhere
...

When the poetry stops
My heart will still
Can say of life
I've had my fill
...

The spirit moves
Yet the body is still
Paralyzed by a numbing
Unending fear
...

Some of the best people
I've ever known
Were teachers who cared
Made me feel at home
...

My favorite
little people
Who run
and shout
...
