Ray Hansell Poems

I told you
My heart was closed
I'm done with love
I suppose
...

What will I do
As I'm getting old
As the world around me
Keeps turning cold
...

I take you in my arms
I softly hold you close
When you're in my arms
It's like holding a rose
...

If I said I love you
Would you turn away
Or would you stay with me
To help pass the day
...

Did you bow your head this morning?
Thank the Lord for another day
Did you drop to your knees?
Did you fold your hands to pray?
...

I talk with him
When I'm alone
'Cause in my heart
I've always known
...

Love sometimes can leave us
Alone, broken hearted and crying
Wondering why we were left
When we thought love was undying
...

You found someone that you loved
Believing he loved you
That was until you saw
When his abusive side shined through
...

You are the mother to my children
To me you are my wife
I have to say it now
It's been a wonderful and beautiful life
...

Living each day
The best I can
Going alone
Following life's plan
...
