Lawerence Mize, Sr. Poems

Time and bad memories
kept me captive and alone
I sought the warmth
of a loving home
...

Before all our lights go dim
we'll look at the past
and say, remember when.
When time caught us all together
...

Sunday's come
Just another day
No football for me
What can I say
...

Years ago
over hills
and streams
I walked
...

It starts with a slight
A misspoken word
A certain look
A conversation not heard
...

One klick, two klicks,
three klicks...four.
Walking in the bush
can't take no more.
...

I went to Bien Hoa
to see a wounded friend.
Walked to the Aid Station
inquired within.
...

A shot rings out
In the middle of the night
I turn to my left
Turn to my right
...

Gray billowing clouds
Rolled over the land.
A gentle breeze
Brought by God's hand.
...

Country music songs
Brought on a flood
Memories of the past
Friends bound like blood
...
