dave lessard Poems

I knew that you would come,
we've been waiting for so long;
to see your face, to hear your voice,
break out its new found song.
...

I typed your name, that hasn't changed,
but the name is not the thing you are;
you were beautiful when first we met,
now I only view you from afar.
...

I am a new creation
fashioned by my Lord
He's given me new Spirit
by which my voice is heard.
...

You can leave now
I can run the washing machine
sweep, dust and mop
keep the damn dishes clean.
...

There were days of sunshine
the dark clouds never came
there were days of pleasure
when you would call my name.
...

It's better this way
we don't have to hide;
at different times of day
to see our other side.
...

Do you remember love,
when once it was a fire?
when blood was pulsing fast,
in that moment of desire.
...

Behind this vale of tears is laughter,
behind the shadows, radiant light;
when this old world becomes the new,
when there's no wrong, but only right;
...

What is the greatest love of all?
please tell me if you can;
is it man's love for a woman?
then you don't understand.
...

In this time of terror
I stay close to You
reading words of truth
helps me see it through;
...
