Leonard Sims Poems

Many a thing can do me harm
But my thoughts will keep me calm
Society may disappoint me
My family may frustrate me
...

I first fell in love when I was young in grade school
With nature whose magic and beauty was all around
Like a butterfly to the flowers I was drawn
Oh, the joy I felt, the joy I felt, the purest I’ve ever found.
...

What happens when a child plays with a razor?
What happens when a child plays with fire?
What happens when a child drives a car?
...

The world has so much beauty and joy to offer
I cannot imagine how to enjoy them all
A place full of people, charming faces, great minds
To share friendships and relationships
...

How happy as a child was I?
Very much indeed I tell you why.
It was like waking up one day in paradise
Where everything was wonderful and nice.
...

In the beginning was the universe
No one could make a verse.
Then came the human being
And everything had meaning.
...

It took billions of years for life to emerge on this earth
It took even more time for us humans to wait
For this chance to be alive and celebrate our birth
A chance to set foot on this planet and gaze at the universe.
...

My faith in life is that human life is beautiful
It is a million times more beautiful than I can realize
Oh, how I love it.
...

We all wish to live in paradise
Where all our hope and happiness lies
Where all our dreams we’ll plan and pursue
The good life to us humans is due.
...

It’s a sad irony: technology that was meant to save us
Technology that was meant to give us hope and peace
Is giving us more troubles and gloomy future instead
People are losing faith in life and turning to hatred. Why?
