Bill Simmons Poems

I've had my share of heartaches
But who kept score
I've had my share of laying awake
And walking each night those floors
...

I bend over in my rocking chair to the little girl hugging my knee there
I pick her up and I sit her upon my knee,
Then up and down and away she goes, she gets the pony ride she knows
Very much the same as my grandpa had once done me
...

She took her heart and laid it out
Professed her love, can’t live without
Then waited for the words he would say,
Then suddenly like from the blue
...

I felt the coolness of the early morning breeze
I felt the dampness of the dew upon leaves
I’ve felt the snowflakes as they slowly fell on me
But the best feeling ever, was when you touch me
...

It was a warm mid summers day
When he looked out from within his cave
'I think today, I’ll try something new
I think today, I’ll try eating meat today
...

He takes his gun, heads to the woods
Takes the old hound like he thought he should
Him and that hound, Old Bo were friends
It’s what you had to do back then
...

There is a place in the forest where the big oak they grow
Where the pine trees too they thrive in Groves
Almost surrounded by pond and overlooking hill
They say the old man, for years lived there still
...

She cried away, the night and day
Lost soul,
She tried to forget, not over yet
How could she know
...

Congregations, segregation
Slaves working on plantations
Me oh my, no blue skies
For a man, this not a life
...

I saw you last night in my mirror
Twice today I heard you call my name
I know, I know, your not with me
Still, I heard you just the same
...
