Jeff Fleischer Poems

I don't know your favorite song or flower
Or favorite food or drink.
I don't know what time you go to bed or get up in the morning.
Or how often you think of me.
...

This poem is:
For anyone whose ever felt love with pain.
For anyone whose ever been drowned in rejection's rain.
For anyone whose ever hurt emotionally, so bad.
...

As I drive along
The long narrow winding road,
The wind is in my hair.
The breeze is in my face.
...

I don't know what is going to happen tomorrow
Or the next week or the next month.
I don't know if I will live to be old
Or die young.
...

Cast into the lion's den.
How hungry they must have been.
They had not eaten in days.
The fierceness of their roar.
...

Those with understanding
Who transmit to others
Their fountain of wisdom,
Let them be lauded and extolled.
...

This tribute is to you.
Your life was cut short.
But you left your mark in this world
While you had the time.
...

You like to talk in your sleep.
Your dream must be so deep.
You say the words I want to hear.
You say you always want me near.
...

My daughter, you've grown up so fast.
I know that I was not always there for you in the past.
Can you find it within your heart
To let us make a new start?
...

After G-d, trust yourself the most.
Believe in yourself more than in others.
Always be confident, but forever humble.
Know who is who and what is what.
...
