Robert Edgar Burns Poems

In the meadow of the valley,
Where wild flowers are roaming free.
There are multitudes of colors
And their backdropp forest greens.
...

Behind every clown is a sad man.
Beneath every smile there are tears.
In front of all women there are stop signs.
In the heart of all hero's are fears.
...

When we are the weakest,
We are like large lumps of clay,
That the potter must tread down,
To make his great art for display.
...

When articulating of semantics,
Speak of the Law Of Thermodynamics.
Creation past has been completed.
It is finished should be repeated.
...

I went through the drive thru
Of a local Taco Bell,
After an especially hectic
Law Enforcement night!
...

A promise of tomorrow.
A namesake shining through.
A bloodline that continues on,
Through eternal springs of youth.
...

How can I show my love for friends?
I’ll cook up something grand and then,
I’ll add some sugar right from my heart,
To sweeten it so it’s not to tart.
...

Don’t forget the sun screen son.
And please watch out for sharks.
Remember to have lots of fun,
But be home before it’s dark!
...

I once saw an albino kangaroo,
Beside a tasmanian devil at the Melbourne zoo!
A koala was there,
While a wombat combed the hair,
...

If my shoulder isn’t soft enough,
Let’s place a pillow there.
So I can hold you in my arms,
And gently stroke your hair.
...

Take my hand walk along with me.
What a friend we have in Jesus.
Love shines a light on stepping stones,
From God’s precious love,
...

Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows.
Three things that always make me smile.
I learned appreciation for theses things
While I was still a very small child.
...

Ode to happiness
Joy cometh in the morning.
...

I would like you to know
What I feel about We!
I hope it always shows
Love’s been very good to me.
...

If you are handling meat
You simply must wash your hands.
I even wash vegetables
Before they go in the pan.
...

Departing on his white stallion,
Starting his patrol was heard to say,
Carting along his sidekick Tonto while
Parting, "Hi-yo, Silver! Away! "
...

When I think of the term class act,
There's no one larger than Mr. T.
From the south side of Chicago,
When the streets were awfully mean.
...

Butterflies, rainbows, birds and sun.
Admired by most and I am sure one.
The poets pen brushes strokes of a kind,
That are so appealing to the eyes of our mind.
...

The wolverine will thrive in winter
Along watery and rootless coasts.
Sheets of thin ice found in layers,
Primordial land frozen is it’s host!
...

It seems at times we spar around
Like the lion and the lamb.
And I can hardly tell at times,
Just which of these I am.
...

The Best Poem Of Robert Edgar Burns

The Meadow

In the meadow of the valley,
Where wild flowers are roaming free.
There are multitudes of colors
And their backdropp forest greens.

There I sit and watch reflections
Of the clouds above the lake.
And the creatures drinking from it,
A deer, a swan, a snake.

To accentuate this beauty,
Are the mountains far away.
That rise above the woodlands,
“Look up” they seem to say.

While climbing one great mountain,
I see the meadow that’s below.
Looking even now more lovely,
Than when I was below.

So when you’re in a valley,
Looking up, you’ll want to climb.
But you’ll see that this new vision
Is no more lovely than what’s behind.

Let’s plan while on our front porch
As we both sip lemonade,
To go exploring in open meadows,
And leave behind this cooling shade!

Won’t you join me in my meadow?
Let’s delight in all we see.
And frolic in the sunshine,
As our love grows by degrees!
