Karlene Garner Poems

You don't have to tell how you live each day;
You don't have to say if you work or play.
A tried true thermometer serves in the place,
However you live it shows in your face.
...

The Smith baby broke his rib,
I guess he fell from his crib.
The hogs are selling cheap today.
I'm sorry I bought mine.
...

I knew autumn long ago,
Like a fairy tale.
The mystique has seemed to grow
Stronger each fall.
...

You've got to keep on walking.

One word won't tell people who you are;
...

Save me a place up in Heaven, dear Lord.
Don't close those gates till I get there.
I may not hear the Angels when they call
'All aboard'.
...

What a very special friend you are indeed,

When I'm with you, my feelings, I do not heed.
...

Take me to where the sun shines forever.

Take me to where the rainbow never ends.
...

In October fires of crayon ablaze
Not familiar to her sun-filled days.
'Who painted this leaf with spots of brown'?
'Who painted the leaves that are drifting down'?
...

Part of the moon was falling down in the west,

Dragging the whole sky with it to the hills.
...

Some Dreams were meant to be just that
A dream and nothing more
A special place where fantasies exist
Not open to realities door
...

The Best Poem Of Karlene Garner

It Shows In Your Face

You don't have to tell how you live each day;
You don't have to say if you work or play.
A tried true thermometer serves in the place,
However you live it shows in your face.

The false, the lies, that you bear in your heart,
Will not stay inside where it first got it's start.
Blood and muscle are a thin veil of lace;
What you wear in your heart, you wear on your face.

If your life is unselfish, if for others you live,
Not how much you get, but how much you give,
If you live close to God and his infinite grace,
You won't have to tell, it shows in your face.
