david lessard Poems

Father...I thank you for this day,
For the golden rays of sunshine;
and whatever comes my way.
...

You said you do not love me,
You said you did not care;
You took the kids and left me,
Was that considered fair?
...

dreamless nights, never-ending fights,
ranting, raving, mindless cravings,
bloodshot eyes, endless lies,
a push, a shove, an end to love.
...

When did we ever say goodbye?
When did we ever let each other go?
When did we ever give up our love?
We never really did, you know.
...

Where were you, all those years?
You were hidden in my heart;
Thoughts of you were with me,
Separate, yes, but not apart.
...

I don't need you any more, if I ever did,
You don't come back to haunt me,
Nor the words you said;
Your erased from my memories,
...

Fine! Take your love and go!
Take your fake smile and
let's get on with the show!
...

What is man...but flesh and bone?
Here to reap, the things he's sown -
More than just the goods he owns,
For sins and slights, he must atone.
...

When all the world is sad and weary,
When all the eyes are moist and teary,
When all one does is mad and leery,
That's when God's love shines through.
...

When the sun sets in the east,
When the grass contains no dew;
When things disturb me, not in the least,
That's when I'll come back to you.
...
