Matthew McDougal Poems

Home,
They say it is a place to hang your hat,
That your home is your castle,
And there is no place like home,
...

It's an easy thing to say,
Accept who you are,
But saying and doing are two different things,
So many try to be someone they are not,
...

Joy and happiness can be found in so many things,
The sound of a baby's laughter,
The beauty of freshly fallen snow,
The whisper of a gentle stream flowing towards the ocean,
...

It is so easy to be with you,
You make me feel everything,
From a beautiful song that makes us cry,
To a kiss goodnight that brings peace and harmony,
...

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
But the eye cannot see what is within the heart.
True beauty comes from deep inside,
It is not shape or skin or color,
...

It was in your eyes,
A color blue I had never seen before,
So strong and true,
Just one look into their depth,
...

Everything is better,
When it's shared with you,
I wish I could spend every hour,
Of every day at your side,
...

The circle of life,
Continuous and never ending,
It has always been,
And will always be,
...

How wonderful it is,
To just lay back and watch the sky,
Enjoying each other's company,
Sharing our dreams together,
...

I awake in the dark,
And reach out to you,
Finding you next to me,
I am at peace,
...
