Marva Seaton Poems

Believe in yourself,
And what you can be,
And not what others,
Think that you are,
...

Today I pray Dear Lord,
That you will hear me,
A voice from a place,
Where right now,
...

I saw, not for the first time,
Traces of tears mirrored in your eyes,
But the tears lost, for you did not,
Once let go of the smile,
...

Rain drops pitter patter on the roof,
as I look in your eyes,
The touch of your gentle caress,
make me want so much to forget,
...

Whisper a dream upon the wind,
Softly, caressingly,
And peacefully still,
Whisper a dream,
...

Apple blossoms, the smell is in the air,
I cast aside my doubts,
The grass is green, the sky is clear,
Spring burst forth in a profusion of colors,
...

She plays the dutiful wife,
she pretends that everything is all right,
But alone in her bed at night,
she wonders who she is fooling.
...

They told her she couldn’t do it,
but she proved them all wrong,
Poor, bare foot country girl,
wanting to be doctor?
...

Love don't live here anymore,
It left a long time ago,
And all I had were shattered dreams,
And thoughts of what could have been,
...

I drank in the sweet scent of your perfume,
And momentarily it chased away my gloom.
I was afraid to look into your eyes,
Afraid that I would not be able to accept the truth.
...
