Joseph T. Renaldi Poems

Years of experience have taught us much,
But there were many things we couldn't touch.
We aimed our Ship of Destiny into calm weather
To pick up the pieces and mend them together.
...

I strolled through the County Fairgrounds,
Deserted and enveloped by the sun's rays.
There came to me the fond memories
Of the County Fairs of bygone years.
...

Hopefully, the Holiday Spirit filled your heart
With affection and tenderness every day
To bring you peace and everlasting harmony
In every unique and pleasant way.
...

National consciousness linger through the days,
Loyalty and devotion displayed in many ways,
Exalting the Nation - creating many dreams,
Faces with pride that always seem to beam,
...

This is the place I call home,
With complete silence where I seem to be alone,
Accepting the fate that life has lent,
Spending my days of reality in false content.
...

A preacher delivered a simple sermon,
It was old, and yet it was new,
Perhaps a figment of the brain,
But morally and spiritually true.
...

Brilliant stars are not gleaming
Over the rough water of the lake,
Behind the dark clouds of heaven,
Waiting for the summer storm to break.
...

Lord, please bless our warriors,
Protect them day and night,
Guide them through battle,
Forever in thy sight.
...

I cherish a clear day free of storms
And the radiance around me in everyway,
But I will always hold in fond memory
The serenity of a balmy summer day.
...

Think of those in dire need
As you humbly begin to pray,
Extend an outstretched hand to help
The destitute person every single day.
...
