Bill Simmons Poems

Beneath a tree
A mistletoe
Holding someone
You love close
...

As he steps down
His spurs kick up the sand
He has been riding for five days
He has done the best he can
...

This is the story of old Mexico
Long ago in Nogalez town
About a young farm boy, while riding his burro
He could see something that was in the ground
...

I have been the courage
Of a hundred thousand men
And I have been their right and truth
Since time itself began
...

They placed upon her bosom
The scarlet letter of the foul
Now everywhere she would go or went
They would point their fingers now
...

This is the story of the leprechaun tree
Some say exist and others deny
Well, I'm here to tell you the story is true
I not only seen it
...

This ribbon of highway that lay before me
It seems a hundred thousand miles
Every mile is so alone
I wonder if she is at home
...

Have you ever seen a falling star
As it streaks across the sky
Among the heavens in the night
Like a heartache that passes by
...

Wars are fought and men have died
Some were lost and some survived
And all for the right for you to choose,
They were just like you and I
...

'Just hold your finger on the end of this plug wire'
Said the mechanic to the lad
The apprentice said 'See, do you mean just like this? '
As he then smiled at his dad
...
