Donna Young Poems

You fart in my bed ever night, snore in my ear and hog my side.
You are in my mind every minute of the day.
And the butterflies you give me just won’t go away.
I will stand by your side and fight your battles.
...

When we were younger we never agreed.
As we grow older we rarely meet
Life is so busy now
When did this happen?
...

When the lightning strikes and the storm has settled, you pick up the pieces and count your medals.
When you wipe your tears and start to dance in the rain
The sun comes out ready to start a bright new day.
The doctors have told me. I am at the end.
...

To find the power to climb a cliff
To shoot a goal when I’m determined not to miss
To rise my way to the highest branch
To win the race which I know I can
...

As I go slowly up the hill
Bumping and rocking from side to side
Looking with a pale face
Down we go
...
