John McCornack Poems

Ever so slowly the great wheel of life turns
Mother Earth smiles as we all scurry about
Searching for this and that
But what is it that we want….
...

I will no longer worry about tomorrow.
Tomorrow will always be there,
Waiting for me to make the most of it.
But I cannot make the most of tomorrow
...

In the quiet country side out east of Cloud Chief
My family waited for my birth with anticipation
Dust was extra thick as we were in the dust bowl
But through it all I added one to the population
...

Somewhere out between Yukon and El Reno is Banner
It is a great place to travel when clouds form in the sky
It is this area where many farm families still call home
I love to drive their roads and watch a sunset intensify
...

My Grandpa taught me:

Don't worry about the future.
But know that worrying is as effective
...

We all come in various ages, shapes and sizes
But more important we all tend to be civilized
Can one family be any better than another
It depends on how they relate to each other
...

When I come in contact with a true cowboy
They always remind me of their extreme pride
Their lifestyle is always full of youth and vigor
They're better than the people on the outside
...

The monster ice storm has covered the land
Cause of the ice there will be no food today
So all the farm animals will have to just wait
Til the sun returns and melting is underway
...

Do you ever feel like just leaving
Like catching the next jet plane
To some far away tropical beach
Then you might be in a hurricane
...

My dream was to catch a big fish
Uncle Harold said fish when its dark
So out of my warm bed I would hop
And fishing became my trademark
...
