Bironga Chadwick Poems

Life is so precious
And each day a gift
Yet on a balance it hangs so precarious
So enjoy every minute
...

You’re beautiful,

Pleasing to the eye and the heart,
Everything about you suits the part.
Your radiant smile lights up the hollow dark,
...

Once upon a time you were my fairy tale.
First came love then out popped a baby.
There should have been a marriage
But we turned each other on and lost “a good thing”
...

Hey, it is morning, wake up to rise and shine
Since another day in life is here
And the hour has come to redefine
Your journey across the wild frontier
...

Do we put them on a pedestal and sift each word they say,
Forgetting they are sinners saved by grace with feet of clay?
Are we looking for perfection and when church day rolls around,
Do we dine on a roasted Priest, if a single flaw we have found?
...

Do I shed tears now that you are gone?
Or do I smile because we are still friends?
Can I close my eyes and pray that you'll come back?
Or do I open my eyes and see all that you left?
...

There is a moment in time
Filled with hope and wonder
Carved in mystery and shrouded in fear

There is a moment so precious
...

I was always told when you die...
You will meet your maker eye to eye,
All your wrongs you better have an answer for,
If you want to enter heaven's door.
...

I was shocked, confused, bewildered
As I entered Heaven's door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
Nor the lights or its decor.
...

What if the earth could talk
What would it say of us
Would it praise us for caring
Or demonize us for destroying it
...
