Colin Coplin Poems

It's football season again
I hope my team does well this year
Football season again
I'm a fan
...

It was ten minutes before the war
The quietest thing you ever saw
Ten minutes before the war
And everything was looking good
...

We're a funny breed, you and I, you're happy to walk, and I like to fly
A funny breed you and I, when we're not smiling, we cry

You like my fingers, I like your back, you like to touch, and I like to scratch
...

My grandfather's hands tell a story
That few today could understand
Each knot a memory, each cut a step forward
That made me what I am
...

I wish ever day, start out this way
What a beautiful day
Clear skies, on the horizon, gentle breeze blowing back your hair
You and I together, without a worry, or a care
...

Don't be sad baby, don't be blue
It makes me sad baby, to see you feel as bad as you do
Don't be sad, don't be blue
...

I never knew love like this before
Or ever wanted someone more and more
Every day, more and more, every day
...

If I should slit my vein with my pen
And use my blood to write you a song
Would you think I'm crazy, would you stop me baby,
Or would you help to push it along
...

One night with you, is what I’m praying for
One night in heaven, to last forever more
...

Ten things I like about you
Pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Ten things I like about you
Are ten simple things that made me fall in love with you
...

It’s election time again
Picture postcards in the mail
Election time again
On every campaign trail
...

There’s only one thing in this life I need
And only one girl who can give it to me

Give me love, your love
...

Brick by brick, stone by stone, take from others to build your home
Step by step, day by day, change the face of the mountain, and make it your own

There's good stone here, foundations are strong
...

What was that you said, I’m sorry
I thought it was me that you were talking to
About a girl it still pains to remember fully
Time hasn’t healed the scars she left behind on me
...

All the stars, in the sky, don't mean nothing to me, watch them shiver
From a side walk café, I watch them rise, then slowly disappear

You're not the first love, you're my last love
...

If the universe should shrink up and die
I, would, still hold on to you
Not through fear, or pain, or hope
But because, I love you
...

There comes a time, when all the words you say, mean nothing any more
It's a pain you bare, and still you carry on
There comes a time, I guess this must be mine
...

I buy a candle and say a little prayer
And step out to a brave new world
Holding onto nothing
Except your love, your love, your love
...

I'm gonna make you my woman
No turning back
Gonna make you my woman
It's a simple matter of fact
...

Beauty has always, captured the eye
You are the beauty, that will never die
Words don't come easy, they don't say enough
If I were an old master, I would chisel, paint or carve
...

The Best Poem Of Colin Coplin

I'm A Fan

It's football season again
I hope my team does well this year
Football season again
I'm a fan

It's football season again
Spread that ball across the field
Football season again
I'm a fan

Through the wind and the rain
Ill be there at the game
A voice screaming to be heard
Sometimes, I'll smile, sometime I cry
As my voice echoes through the crowd
I'm a fan, I'm a fan, I'm a fan

It's football season again
I hope my team does well this year
Football season again
I'm a fan

It's football season again
Tackle hard, and play it fair
Football season again
I'm a fan

And at the end of the year
Well be dressed in the gear
As they turn to salute the crowd
And well stand with pride
Cause they're our side
And well sing their praises loud
We're the fans, we're the fans, we're the fans

Colin Coplin Quotes

The Future belongs to those who build it...

In the end good always wins, it just takes time... and sometimes it's a long time. Everyones viewpoint of what is good is different ... that's what cause the confusion and why it sometimes takes a long time.
