Victor Cruickshank Poems

Time is defined by three words
Present, Past and Future
The Past though important was not meant to last
The Present which is now is the time to represent
...

Words are said, but others are heard
When quote is said, note is heard
When plait is said, plate is heard
Some words are different but sound the same
...

Here as I sit, as I await summer.
I hear voices, "We want summer."
Winter is too cold, but summer is too hot.
Spring is nice, but I must be in school.
...

Today we breathe so fresh the air
Our clothes though not needed we buy and wear
Our environment is given no care
A new footwear is out, buy me a pair
...

Imagine how difficult it is, for a mother,
to give birth to her son
raise him, watch him leave home
watch him serve the world
...

The silence of the day is at night
It is when people sleep and there is no light
When no one is afraid of height ‘cause there is no sight
That is when I walk gladly to my car
...

Have you heard of him?
The rock of ages, the prince of peace
He was called the prophet from Nazareth
They said, "No good thing comes from Nazareth"
...

Oh Great were the days when we sat to converse
Great were the times when we sang verse by verse
Great were the moments we shared in the sun
And even those times when we had fun
...

This saying I've heard during my life's span
I've learned and considered it before I plan
I've read the Bible and also the Qur'an
But both of them teach lessons about the life of man
...
