Dwayne Bailey Poems

Breaking the chains of addiction,
are never easy at best;
For these chains are wrapped all around our thinking,
alwys putting us to the test.
...

Gas prices are killing me,
taking so much of my pay;
So I can have just the basics,
like getting to work each day.
...

Does it really matter what your religion is;
Or the color of your skin?
What church you attend on sunday,
or the neighborhood you live in?
...

Sweet Jesus sweet Jesus,
the most precious name I know;
His love and mercy follows me,
where ever in life I go.
...

As I step back and evaluate my life, i notice things that once were hid;
I notice the mean nasty things I'd said, the ugliness of things I did.
I notice that when I was mad at my God, my heart became bitter and cold;
As I step back and look at my life, I watch hardships as they unfold.
...

Looking back on 2007,
as the final seconds are ticking away;
I realize how lucky I am to be alive,
and how blessed in heart I feel today.
...

Pitch black outside, ten below zero,
Man I am freezing cold;
My age is starting to creep up on me,
and boy am I feeling old.
...

What do I want for Christmas?
I will see if I can explain;
It's really nothing fancy,
but it's also nothing plain.
...

March its seems for now,
is how long we are going to wait;
Before we get to know,
what is the health, and my daughters fate.
...

Life it feels is closing in,
maybe Im close, to the bitter sweet end;
I truely feel I, am getting quite old,
I find myself tenitive, where I used to be bold.
