JAMES T. ADAIR Poems

You can look if you want to
everybodys stops and stares
You can smile if you want to
smiles help to ease the pain
...

I am not omnipresent
I wish I was so
I am indivisible
But I give a piece to you
...

The clock strikes midnight
and something comes to me unexpectedly
'Count Your Blessings! ' words of my grandmother
come back to me
...

A little choir girl
Cissy's Daughter
Born to music
Like a fish to water
...

I found where caregivers get their care
It comes from God and Heaven
Right out of thin air
First it is sadness
...

Make a wish
Dream however big
wish a Redwood
and not a mere twig
...

True love will never try to hurt you
True love is a whisper in its sound
True love may stray but it will not leave you
It will always remind you when it's not around
...

As your reward
For producing a terrorist son or daughter
You shall not suffer the death of a martyr
But just an anticipated and welcomed death
...

Blueberry Muffin
So moist and warm
A browned crisp top
Sprinkled with large crystals of sugar
...

How much of our love do we waste
In anticipation of just a taste
But the taste leaves us wanting more
The minute our hearts leave the door
...
