jackie compton Poems

Dear Daughter of mines.
Just one love in a lifetime is not enough.
I love you from the first breath that you took.
Daughter of my I just want you to know.
...

What are you doing?
I just sitting here alone.
Watching the wheels of time go round and around.
I just sitting here thing of nothing.
...

I would ask you to try and understand.
But I know you will not understand.
Out of all the things that one can share.
I would be totally dishonest.
...

I stand and watch time as it come and it goes.
I sit in the morning sun rise.
Watching the tides row in and then away again.
I am just waiting on a friend.
...

In the beginning there was time.
Now time needs another beginning.
For life did not start with a bang.
But with a simple cry from a child.
...

I look out side of my mind.
And I see all my mistake that I made in life.
I sit there and wonder where my youth has gone.
It seem that it was only yesterday that I was eighteen.
...

Day after Day.
I seem so confused.
My mind begin to fill the strain
I think that I am wasting time.
...

I think it time we said good by.
Good by to those dark cloud of hate
To the things that keep us separated.
...

Life is a river.
Sometime it over flows.
Sometimes it will dry up.
It will meander through time.
...

Even with your eyes wide open.
You want be able to see the beach for the sand.
Even in the mist of darkness.
You can see the flickering flame of hope.
