James Donovan Poems

On judgement day when we face God and stand before His gate;
will we be able to tell Him we did not discriminate;
that we tried to give equality to every living man
and treat them all with fairness in accordance with His plan.
...

A question that has bothered man for all recorded days:
is who is God, this entity, we worship and give praise?
Is He a supreme being? Well, depending on your view,
He may be called a lot of things; so I offer you a few.
...

Life is just a thing of chance; a fickle maid with whom we dance,
and never even take a glance at all the gifts that life implants;
while gambling with the gods.
...

If you want to get a pet
I think a cat is your best bet.

Give your cat a special toy
...

When there's a rodent in your house you tell the cat to catch that mouse.
The cat will never hesitate to help the creature meet it's fate.

But while the cat has gone away, the mouse will just come out and play;
...

They say a dog is man's best friend
but what about our cats?
I know my cat would disagree
if I ever told him that.
...

Oh, what unhappy twist of fate
Has brought you homeless to my gate?
The gate where once another stood
To beg for shelter, warmth, and food
...

'Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse
...

I had two little kittens
I named them Pat and Mike
And as they grew I soon found out
How much they were alike
...

I hope I'm not asking too much, Lord,
All I want is a home of my own,
And to know when my next meal is coming
Instead of the scraps I get thrown.
...
