Joseph Anderson Poems

I know a most uncommon man
Who now must stand alone.
The way he chose to walk life's span,
Our group would not condone.
...

This old house out in the country
Surely, isn't much to see,
With it's sagging walls and chimneys,
Yet, it's still a home for me.
...

Do you yearn to be a poet?
So do I, come with me;
We may soar among the masters
On the wings of imagery,
...

Life's weary road I've wandered ever long
through victories, triumphs and much defeat.
Those who travelled with me now are gone.
Another time with them would be a treat.
...

From our moment of creation
Till our last day on this earth,
Comes the search for things eternal;
Moving forward from our birth.
...

The poets found here on this site
Just turn my envy green;
There's Smoky, Juan, sweet Adeline
And prolific Walterrean.
...

Dear God, could you reveal thyself
In a way we understand?
Could you make known some way to share
A universal plan?
...

As I stroll through my halls of memories,
Surveying all twas good and all twas strife,
It seems some inner wisdom in me sees
The joys, the blessings friends gave to my life.
...

We met down at the city park
Where old folk often go;
This day he seemed unduly sad,
His thoughts were causing woe.
...

The winds blow by, blow to their distant space,
Life's winds oft blow us from our chosen path;
Our winds of time will e'er to soon displace
The joys and beauty that a lifetime hath.
