Justin Reamer Poems

It was a bright summer day, when the weather was still warm, with the sun gleaming
All over my back. I was riding my bike to run an errand, and I was riding at a casual
Pace. I had $20 in my back pocket and 75¢ worth of quarters in my side pocket. As
I rode my bike, I could feel the wind in my face, and I could hear the birds chirping,
...

Father, Father, where have you been?
Where have you been in the last ten years?
Where have you gone when you were not seen?
Where were you when we shed our tears?
...

The lighthouse stood upon a rock,
Christened in the night;
It stands for deep integrity,
Its light so shining bright.
...

The woman of utmost kindness,
One which I've never known,
The woman of great sacrifices,
For her love is always shown.
...

I sat by the fireplace, ready to think. That lost emotion I will never know.
But, I sat and thought and tried to remember. It came to me in a flash…

A sunny day on the sand dune,
...

Brother, may I ask you a question?
I hope it's not too much for me to mention,
But I hope I can get your attention,
Before you get suspension.
...

My sister, Elyse,
How she is ever so smart,
She could do anything right,
If you had the might,
...

The mentor, from what I can remember,
Was a man who aided me always,
He taught me to think,
To imagine everything I knew.
...

You, my friend, are the inspiration
To all those who look at you;
You are the man who knows human character
Above all else;
...
