Terry Dunham Biography

Most of these poems were written in a time of great anguish. You see, I am a song writer, mostly. However, it seems that when I experience unusually high emotional pain, I find myself writing poetry/prose/whatever you call it. Words to express the inner self. I am not always so morose. These musings/complaints came out of a BAD time in life. Trials and Tribulations with a capitol 'T'. I am feeling much better now, thank you! But I don't ever want to forget the pains my wife and I experienced for almost 2 years, as these pains certainly help us share in the grieving of others. We have seen the light at the end of a long, dark tunnel. We are so thankful that God held us up and a few select friends, also, who took the time to listen carefully to the intricate details of an incomprehensibly complex set of circumstances. Most people didn't have a clue as to how to help. They stood by, watched us cry, and wondered when we would get over it. Well, we got over it...for the most part. Shell-shocked, broken, changed in quite a few ways...but we got over it. Now...we are working on getting back into life as we once knew it. We are finding it a little difficult, but we will get there! Amen! We will get there!)

The Best Poem Of Terry Dunham

You See Me Now

You see me now, all battle scarred,
Tired, and broken from the storms;
Beaten by the daily wars.
I wish you could have seen me then.

Am I the same as I once was?
Am I a different bag of bones?
Have I descended from the heights,
Or have I really grown?

I wish you could have seen me when
My sword was flashing, cutting into
Satan's side and rescuing by deeds
And words with youthful strength.
I pray for you and watch with hopeful eye.
Your youth is treasure, guard it well;
For sooner than you care it will fly.
