David Harris Poems

For Betty Burton
A friend for over thirty years.
...

Professor Robert Hogarth sat
...

Down on the Funny Farm
where some say I was born
where laughter is the key
that trips a smile
...

Everyday we face choices
in every aspect of our lives;
some are little things,
like what clothes to wear.
...

So many hearts have been broken
in loves cheating game.
Everyone says it is a fickle heart to blame.
The heart that cannot settle down,
...

Dear Lord of all creation
who looks down on us each day.
Help us when we are betrayed and crucified
for something we have never done
...

Today I dipped into an album
from my memory store
as a place that seemed familiar
triggered off the memories.
...

A little songbird sang
from a treetop high.
It sang for blue skies
for within to fly.
...

When memories invade your thoughts,
in the quiet moments,
with laughter, tears, fears and pain.
Of promises we made so long ago,
...

For my wife who is -? Today

Today is your birthday
and you are telling everyone
...
