Randy McClave Poems

Do you hate me because I am gay
Even though in GOD I believe, and to him I pray,
He created me to be the way that I am
He is my shepherd, and I am his lamb,
...

The tiny, little town of Gnatwoods
A place where I would not want to live,
With constant disruption, from bigotry, racism and corruption
Maybe someday them all GOD might forgive.
...

I think that I am getting old,
As I have now begun to despise the cold,
That cold, cold wind and the freezing ice
Where my fingers, toes and nose is numbed through sacrifice.
...

Do not ever expect a thank you
When you do a favor for a friend,
Do not seek their gratitude as a revenue
If you do so, then do not ever borrow or lend.
...

GOD, Are you there?
Do you still listen as I pray
If you still do, I need you Lord,
There is so much I need to say.
...

I know never to say forever
But, let's grow old together,
Lets not our years, disappear
Falling like lonely tears.
...

You deserve better than me
Said the Apple to the Tree
For all I do is hold you down
And then I plummet to the ground.
...

I am an American, I shout
When the flag marches on by,
I am American, and I am proud
As Her glory comes to my eyes.
...

Without dreamers we would have only the realists
The people who represent things as they really are;
Goodbye, we would say to the fantasizers and the idealists
No longer would we wish or hope upon a falling star.
...

Sweet, Sweet Caroline,
Lips as tasty as a sweet, sweet wine,
Upon her lips again I wish to drink
Until I am drunk, and no worries to think,
...
