Ray Hansell Poems

You tell me that you're amazed
With the words I write
You say you think of them
As you lay in bed at night
...

I think the time is finally here
For you and I to say goodbye
We thought that we could make it
We gave love a valiant try
...

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

I hate the way I look
I hate the way I feel
I hate the way I know
That my hate is real
...

The stars are out tonight
They will be out tomorrow night to
From now until forever
I'll get to share them always with you
...

You know it's still true
That I get a thrill from you
I'm so happy to say
That it will always be that way
...

You wipe the tears from your face
But in your eyes there's still a trace
Of a love that lived not long ago
Your pain and sorrow still shows
...

We've only been together
For a short time I know
But what I feel inside for you
Just continues grow
...

I use to walk in fields of gold
Beneath a burning sun
I would walk all day long
Until the day was done
...

Killed in the performance of his duty
That's all the paper said
He took an oath, he took a job
For doing both he's dead
...
