Ludema Mills Garza Poems

Looking into the face of a modern man. I asked him why he was sad?
You fly planes and run trains, modern man has landed on the moon and
has even walked in space.
Modern man, you have accomplished much in your time.
...

Yesterday, a bird outside my window could not fly
Today, the bird tried again, and flew high into the sky
Perhaps time is one of life's miracles
Time seems to help those who preserve and care.
...

Well, I have never seen you, perhaps the time will never arrive, that we
shall meet. But, I know that you are real, I can feel the warmth of your
heart pass over my face, as I look toward the sun.
...

It will be good to know that you remember
When you place flowers on my grave in December

I may not be there, for you see, then I will be free
...
