Don Pengilly Poems

To wish you Happy Birthday
May seem inappropriate now
But there’s always time to celebrate
And look beyond the brow
...

To Lie in wait for death
While cancer has its sway
With family surrounding her
Outside a gloomy day
...

The birds they sing so sweetly
Beneath the canopy
Of trees arranged so neatly
In the shadows you can see
...

No pain no gain I here you say
At the end of the day someone has to pay
Put the cost of living up if you may
The wealthy do not suffer
...

For us such rarity a site
To see around us virgin white
Like fitted carpet wall to wall
Not one footprint I recall
...

The fellowship to which belong
Starts with worship and with song
The company of angels there
Lift voices sweet beyond compare
...

Be content in all that you do
Inconsistency only makes you feel blue
Like chasing the sun on a cloudy day
Makes heart faint, takes your peace away
...

Winter's gloom put to bed
Springtime brings new things
Long cold nights set aside as dead
Springtime new life brings
...

Come now Holy Spirit
In this holy hour
Speak to hearts receptive
Fill us with your power
...

Time seems to pass one by
April, May June, July
Springtime summer autumn to
Winter comes with feelings blue
...
