John Leroy Maxwell Poems

The Little Brown Bear carried a Rose,
he tripped and it went up his snout..
The Little Brown Bear, feeling so sad,
sat down and began to pout..
...

The fire that burns, is burning bright,
within the forests of the night
So brightly tongues of flame do flare, to
lighten darkness, devour the air
...

Carry this within your heart, as you
go thru your early years

Be strong and stalwart, when a woman
...

For once I walked a midnight dream
I walked beside a mountain stream
The rippling waters played for me
Heavenly music, a symphony
...

Emerging from my dream, awakened only by the
frightful thoughts that consumed me, in my slumber
I rushed to the sides of my loved ones, as they
lay peaceful in their own repose
...

A handsome little boy was walking down the street
singing a song and looking so sweet..
Love in his heart, and family on his mind
his name is Logan just one of a kind..
...

I try to help Obama out
So I do walk, both here and about
But leather soon no more be found
In cotton socks we then go 'round
...

Beneath the falls, churning waters furl
Through stoic rocks, so serene the pool
This be the way, this be the place
If so decide to end earthly race
...

Sitting, combing the loving memories thru
her now graying hair
Mirrored images of youths love, reflected
Her skirt billowed innocently, as she ran
...

They asked me once, they asked me more
Where is the Nation you adore
My country's big and very wide, from sea
to shore, and tide to tide
...
