David Harris Poems

The other day I felt like leaving,
packing up my tools and going,
saying goodbye to everyone,
then disappear into the yonder blue.
...

Some days seem longer than others,
depending on how many crosses
we have to bare.
Each of us has a cross to carry,
...

A parent’s prayer is for safety
for their daughter or son
who maybe called away to war.
A prayer to bring them back again
...

We associate songs with memories
of when we first heard it played.
The song someone sang
on the day we met
...

There are people in time of crisis
who do extraordinary things.
They do them not for gain,
money or fame,
...

Ghosts Of Our Past

We are haunted all the time
by ghosts of our past
...

Sometimes we have to look
just beyond a dream
to make it happen.
Just beyond reality
...

Each morning we awake
to greet a brand new day.
Each night we go to bed
and the day just fades away.
...

I am a man who lives in yesterdays,
in a world of worn out photographs
with faces I want to remember
but more often that I can’t.
...

Draw a circle around you,
keep all your friends well inside.
Make them know that you care
and want them always at your side.
...
