Bill Grace Poems

The throng that came filled the church
The box can only hold a body
A diamond, a life - the box is not the end
It can not hold a soul
...

I was never here
An ego in flesh
A little more than a rock
A little less than an angel
...

This Paris Hilton thing makes me sad
So much of it comes from who's her dad
I don't defend actions that we know are bad
But grieve that the lives of the rest of us
...

Poetry can wound and alienate
Its' truth does not always heal
Just as I would not be disorderly in public
So I would not use poetry poorly
...

When Eisenhower was buried
With well deserved stately pomp
Omar Bradley was in uniform
And with a palsied hand of age
...

Two young women starting well
How high they will finish we can not tell
Nor is this the ultimate thing
That makes the hearts of many who know them swell.
...
