Frances Ayers Poems

Hurridly, we walked along

The corridors of time
...

Was that first Christmas Eve, a cold bitter night

When our savior came down wrapped as a man
...

I walk with you Lord in blind faith
Knowing your hands reach out to me
Fervently I pray on bended Knee
For patience to get me through the day
...

Tall and hairy with a bulging chest
Arms that encircle me as I rest
Lips that nibble eagerly at my skin
Rising goose pimples once again
...

Tell me of your deepest yearnings
And need to feel you're not alone
Trust me with memories you treasure
Have patience when I take that tone
...

Longing for a quiet time to return
When simple pleasures reigned supreme
A hectic pace, now somehow burns
My candle at both ends, but how I dream
...

Forget the hearts and flowers
And pretty gifts that bring smiles
Instead remember hours
Of heartbreak that stayed awhile
...

Why pine for those who have gone to their rest.
They have put away their mortal toil and fears.
In all things of this world, our God Knows best,
for he will soothe our heart and dry our tears.
...

Beautiful color of the Earth, that I do love.
You strike my senses and fill my soul with glee.
Your vibrant hues fill the lovely sky above,
And bring out the autumn color of the trees.
...

On sorrows'wings I journeyed to a land where I had never been.
Each loss was undiscovered country, landscapes I had never seen, mountains I had never climbed.

I had taken a journey past familiar landmarks I missed, and memories that were past.I had buried the familiar stories and neglected the happiness, which lay buried deep beneath the earth, only now and then pushing to the surface.
