Dwayne Bailey Poems

Today I had to put my dog down,
old age, arthritic, and sick.
I've had him for fourteen years,
and right now I feel like a big prick.
...

Coming home late,
in the middle of the night,
To a house that is dark,
void of any light;
...

Another day is dawning,
it's the day before Christmas eve;
My daughter rushed down to see her preasents,
placed with love under the christmas tree.
...

I have taken alot of flack,
for the type of poetry I love to write;
Ive taken critisisim for my beleif in God,
and putting Him fore front in my sight.
...

Do'nt tell me you love me,
then turn and walk away;
Dont tell me you love me,
but only for today.
...

Tonight I dreamed a dream,
I was lost in a mighty gail;
My ship was torn to pieces,
I lost both my masts and sails
...

There she set in the car port,
rusted and faded with time.
Her tires bald and flat,
her engine well past its prime.
...

Your' love is as sweet as sunshine,
as warm as a fire aglow;
The peace that envelopes my heart,
is as gentle as a cool breeze blows.
...

Sorrow pain, and guilt, over what I feel I've become;
Heartache which causes restless sleep, and tears that freely run.
How did I get where I am today, How did I let myself fall?
To the point I feel there is no hope, and the Lord I no longer call.
...

A murderous sin to kill it is;
unborn and all alone;
Oh the visions of splender,
together we could have known.
...
