David Harris Poems

In the 1950’s Perry Como used to sing
about catching a falling star.
I caught mine many years ago
and at my side, she still is today.
...

Between the dawn and the daylight,
there is a quiet time
when the creatures of the night
scurry to their warm beds,
...

I wish all the time
that I could hold back the dawn,
so we could spend more hours together,
before once again from my arms
...

How many times have we asked ourselves,
who am I?
The question haunts us
as we journey down life’s road.
...

Just think of all the paper
that is used to create a form.
Think of all the trees
that have to be cut down,
...

We all have limitations;
sometimes it is nice to know
exactly what they are.
Just to know how far to push ourselves,
...

Every time I see a church,
I see something special there.
A meeting place of faith
beyond our mortal being.
...

Dear Lord I come to you for help,
to help a good friend in need.
Her name is Melvina Germain,
a sister of the faith.
...

The fire raged out of control
...

Dear Lord of all creation,
...
