James (Bluesman)Cooper Poems

Nothing ever works out the way I plan
Sometimes I think because I'm a man
Then other times I don't have a hand
Maybe I should just give up or continue to take a stand.
...

I can see you in the night
I can see you in my dreams
I can see you in my arms so it seems
where are you now for all I know
...

I got a dog his name is Bandit
When he gets into stuff
I'm yelling DAMN IT
He likes to scratch and eat his food
...

Wether the moon be out and the sun is shining
I lay beside you my feelings not hiding.
For you are my angel from way up above
God sent you to me on the wings of a dove
...

I love you mama
You've been so good to me
But I'm older now and theres
An older man I wanna be.
...

I'll stand there in the funeral yard dressed in black
Knowing that the one I love won't be coming back
All the friends and family standing around crying that
your gone
...

Nothing better than seeing the sun smile
Your all dressed up and wearing your favorite style
Friends come over and spend some time for a while
Listening to the radio looking for your song as you
...
