George Bernard Hough Poems

Never more alas will I
hear again a babies cry.
The bird song on a summers day,
The laughter of a child at play.
...

Creating new life is our purpose
that`s why we are put on this earth.
To nourish and nurture our offspring
and love them for all they are worth.
...

Neighbours can be good or bad
make you happy make you sad
maybe making lifelong friends
never have to make amends.
...

Have I lived a good life?
is paradise for me?
I always saw the best in men,
my respect was given free.
...

Beauty surrounds and health abounds
But Death lurks in those cockling grounds
Care is needed as your` eyes feast
For beauty can become the beast
...

HOLIDAYS

When holidays come to the forefront.
To cut down the risk of a storm.
...

The person you see is not he,
he, is the spark of humanity
which entered his body at birth,
deciding his lifetime worth.
...

Sometimes its based on religion, and sometimes on where you are from,
but always its used to oppress you when a reasons decided upon.
Your` stout in your` faith and your` culture, and ever so proud of your` race.
But some human beings are heartless and throw it all back in your` face
...

At times he may have made you mad
behaving like a little lad!
Needing you to see him through
As his dependence on you grew.
...

When a historic building is left to decay,
A theatre where once, famous names used to play.
Its stage steeped with memories of happier days,
Of concerts, comedians and actors in plays.
