dave lessard Poems

For your eyes only,
a secret known by you;
hidden from all others,
that's only for your view.
...

I looked for you along the boulevard,
but you were nowhere to be found;
I searched the old familiar haunts,
asked, if you'd been round.
...

Your love was kind and gentle
just like a friend in need
that comes running to your side
at your beck and heed.
...

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.
...

All my life is sun and shadow
tempered by a little rain
youth and vigor, aging seasons
joy and happiness, some pain.
...

How could I ever doubt you now?
Your words are full of truth;
Your a candle in the darkness,
to Your great will, I bow.
...

High desert suits me fine
a mile of lovely altitude
basking in the sun of march
reveling in my solitude;
...

Falling leaves of late October
float softly in the morning sun,
the leaf unhinges from the tree
it has had it's yearly run.
...

Wherever there are breezes blowing
wherever there are trails a-winding;
those are the places I'll be going
those are the spots that I'll be finding.
...
