Della Perry Poems

The good people, you can see them
They are the ones lining up by the pearly gates
Before they are even dead!
Banging with fists, anxious, often depressed.
...

Once the sun shone brightly, warmly,
Embracing each new day with utter delight and charm,
My friend indeed.
Young and vibrant like the rays of light.
...

Her dance is outstanding.
Beautiful, like butterflies dainty wings.
Daddy's princess just shimmers,
Pink tu-tu skirt swirls around.
...

Brooding, grinning faces, stare from hidden places,
Lightning flashes of what?
Impatience, hatred, jealousy?
Smiling, laughing faces,
...

Who is gonna cry over you?
You are my teacher, my guide,
Albeit not the best one!
I reflect, I judge, I condemn,
...

The kids attempt to push boundaries, see how far they can go,
I remember doing exactly that myself,
How droll to watch hot tears from a flushed art teacher,
What a scream! A sob, hot tears,
...

Never does my mobile beep
To say I've a text expressing love and passion!
Hi, how are you, love you, need you,
I'm on my way to visit you;
...

It's been a bad day
Full of hatred, full of fear
But don't fret, don't cry
I'll always be near.
...

Sixteen summers is not much time to fit a lot into a life
But you managed to with excellence.
Memorial words were so fitting
Life was not easy coming, difficult times had enthused,
...

On a mission, that I am, to right the wrongs that I see
To change the world, the evil I see
I can't do much, I can change that which is near.
I'll try to relay those old fears that I know so well.
...
