David Harris Poems

If I was as fast as Mohammad Ali
I could switch the light off
and be in bed before it went dark.
Sadly, I am not that quick.
...

Hear the Whooper-will
as evening begins to call,
telling everything
evening is approaching fast.
...

Mary, you’re my lady
the precious mother of God’s son.
When you look down upon us,
we feel your reverence there.
...

I went to see a friend
who lives about fifty miles away.
My sense of direction being what it is,
I took a wrong turn
...

Sometimes the old
have to step aside
for the new,
but also the new
...

Dear Lord we come to you
to help those who need it.
Let them know
whether they believe or not,
...

There are no limits
to what we can achieve
if we put or mind to it
and really start to believe.
...

Someone had discarded an old tyre.
It was all battered and worn.
As I stared at it, I wondered
of what journeys it had been on.
...

I always have a habit
of wearing long sleeves
and a coat or jacket
never mind the weather.
...

Life is full of challenges
with every step we take.
Each day we wake up
to new challenges
...
