Dori Spooner Poems

When I Awake
There Is A Pain Within
Deep Within My Heart
That Travels Through My Soul
...

A young mother sits
With a test in her hand
Doesn't know what to do
A baby is growing
...

When The Pain Is So Hard For You To Stand
Your Legs And Arms Just Fail To Bend
It Takes Over Your Body Day By Day
Sometimes You Just Don't Want To Stay
...

He Wakes Me In The Morning
With A Big Wet Puppy Kiss
Waits Patiently In The Kitchen
His Breakfast He Won't Miss
...

As Days And Weeks Go By
It's Only You And I
Our Love Is Always True
Around You
...

Sweat Rolling Down My Brow
It's Another Hot Summer Day
Here In West Central Texas
Summers' Always That Way
...

Broken Are The Chains That Bind Us
The Wall Is Behind Us
Our Lives Are Taking A New Turn
...

I can't believe I thought you were the one
I can't believe I ever tried
all the things that you've said and done
All the times that you've lied
...

When Life Gives You Lemons
As It Sometimes Will
When All Seems Futile
And All Uphill
...

You plan for the end, fill out your will
Insurance is paid, it'll cover the bills
Everythings' planned for your last days
It's all worked out to go your way
...
