Bill Simmons Poems

We wake up sometimes with things on our minds
From sleep in the night so still
We thought we could go on
But memories they live on and we find…
...

I smell something burning?
What is that? I don’t know
I know I smelled that before
Just dig on out that coal!
...

Watch your heart don’t let it break
My mother said those words
If for love it forsakes
I didn’t realize their worth
...

The fragrance of the forest
The sea in the breeze
The sounds of children
Laughing constantly
...

Did you ever sit on the floor
With a nail in your hand
Staring at that light socket
A five year old young man
...

Here comes the jingle of his reindeer and sleigh
The snow is falling he is on his way
Look up high riding in the sky
Santa Clause is coming tonight
...

The children know where the cold wind blows and it snows
They write letters to a man, the North pole
In hopes a glimpse, to see him in his flight
Riding his sleigh, dressed in red, trimmed in white
...

From the mountains of
Ever Pain
To the shores of
Tears In Vain
...

Today I saw…
A grown man, he cried
I wanted to say the hurt would go away
But I knew if I did I would lie
...

I don’t know what it takes
But know can’t hesitate
Something about you
Feel through and through
...
