Patricia Grantham Poems

As the sea rose up and down wind and tempest tossed
Hands on board began to shout we'll be forever lost
The captain of the wavering ship began to take a stance
Set the sails and man the helms there'll be no other chance
...

You went along with the unruly group just to be a part of the crowd
Then started walking toward the school and began to yell out loud
It was time to go to the classroom but you lingered out in the hall
The bell rang loud for the second time so you responded to its call
...

A chilly blast of air rushes through the trees
They begin to sway to and fro as if in a trance
The skies change from clear blue to a misty gray
Cool air began to rise and then it began to snow
...

Be a shoulder for you to lean on
Sail across the ocean just for you
Ever so lonely when you are gone
Love you more than you'll ever know
...

As you begin your journey
To start a brand new day
Thoughts of what might happen
You continued on your way
...

The seeds of love was already sown and slowly began to grow
We had to learn from each other is how we stayed in the know
Brothers and sisters were we, a special gift to one another
Growing up together as children with a loving father and mother
...

You came upon a mountain that seemed so hard to climb
To undertake a task so great will really take some time
As you held your head up high peering up to the top
Your heart began to race and your courage started to drop
...

Marching on to battle in the land and home of the free
Far away from family and the love ones they long to see
Yearning to be with the ones at a place they love at best
Braving the harsh weather just to pass freedoms test
...

Love is like a seesaw that goes up and down
Just like the ferris wheel it goes around and around
Sometimes you maybe happy and at times maybe sad
You played the game of love and lost everything you had
...

Grandma lived so close near by just a few steps away
I always went to visit her house each and every day
She opens up the back door and greets me with a smile
Tells me to come right in and talk with her for awhile
...
