Ray Hansell Poems

Don’t try to make sense
Of the things that go wrong
Just have the strength to recover
Just have the will to be strong
...

My life has been good
That I must admit
But there were times
When I did want to quit
...

I wanted you to know
That I’ve missed you so
I missed your tender smile
I missed the way, you say hello
...

I thought that I had found love
The day that I met you
I thought my pain from the past
Was all finally through
...

Some days I remember
Some days I forget
So many things come and go
I can’t remember them all but yet
...

One thing that I've learned today
Is that there is no guarantee for tomorrow
Today could be filled with happiness and joy
Tomorrow, taken over by sorrow
...

Tell me the truth
Don't tell me lies
Always be honest
Never wear a disguise
...

When I was young and foolish
I didn't understand
That I once held love
In the palm of my hand
...

My life has had it's ups and downs
I've had my share of smiles and frowns
But all that has now changed
Ever since you've been around
...

There is no hope for me
I often hear people say
I look at them and ask
Have you talked to the Lord today?
...
