JAMES T. ADAIR Poems

It is a cruel fate
To give one's heart
Most earnestly
And to be forgotten
...

The gunman took a little life yesterday
A precious life was snuffed out
As if it didn't matter at all
Someone's innocent child was taken away
...

I Won't Bother Anymore
A bother is all I am
I won't care anymore
Or recall you again
...

I have a friend I've held most dear
She doesn't know
When I miss her I shed a tear
We say hello from year to year
...

I can't win today
I can't find a way
I can only say
The best of me will stay
...

There is always
Something to be thankful for
Even on the darkest day
We have to search hard sometimes
...

Oh say
Come what may
Eternal flame
Or fade away
...

Of all the things
I may ever do
Let me treasure most
What is true
...

Kindness
Is the action
That best personifies love
And if I should ever find love
...

In the echo of the silence
In the pleading whisper of a wish
In the desolation of this desert
In the tears of the banished
...
