Jim O'Donnell Poems

Alarm bell rings in my ears
It don’t seem long since I climbed in here
All tucked up cozy beneath the sheets
Arm reached our to silence the beast
...

We will remember them
The day they left home
They went to foreign lands
Some never came home
...

People you think you know really well
They kind of put you under a spell
The thing is spells never last
And before you know it they are flat on the grass
...

You touch my life my heart my soul
My Guardian Angel I behold
A friend a pal a buddy too
In my daily life I think of you
...

Way back then when I was a lad
Porcelain sinks that’s what we had
No stainless steel or plastic bowls
A jaw box they called it, so I’m told
...

Part your lips and show your teeth
Your beautiful smile lies beneath
Without a worry or a care
Just smile to everyone that's out there
...

Mediums from across our land
People think your life is grand
It’s not true as they can’t see
What dwells deep inside of thee?
...

Standing up I walk away
I break up for my holiday
Out of office its switch on
To let them know that I have gone
...

Thirty-one years seems a long time
But not in this life of mine
Thirty-one years that’s how long it’s been
Since I married the girl of my dreams
...

Don’t cry for me when I’ve gone
I’m going to that path beyond
My angel he is my guide
Walking right here by my side
...
