Melvina Germain Poems

I had a dream, a pleasant dream,
of a place filled with lush green grass.
A place with crystal running falls,
with trees and mountains so very tall.
...

You took me by surprise, when you picked me up.
Massaging my neck with such gentle strokes.
You moved your hands so softly,
Slowly caressing my cool naked body.
...

Pining for a much better quality of life,
Opened to great suffering and pain.
Violence and hate, society's distain.
Every step seems a step in the wrong direction.
...

Father, first of all know how much I love you and appreciate you
in my life. Father you never leave me, always there to see me
through. This week Father you were ever present in not only my
life but that of my daughter and I thank you for what you did for
...

On the wild side, she lives,
no love in her heart to give.
She walks the streets of Calgary.
Eyes protrude with deep dark circles,
...

A place to rest one’s body and soul,
to put life’s worries on temporary hold.
A time to pray to the good Lord above,
and ask for His un-con-di-tion-al Love.
...

We see difference,
we see hate.
Go to school, discriminate.
Fight the enemy, hide the scars.
...

Father today I want to pray for all the different people in the world. People that may not be the best looking, or have eyes that bulge, teeth that point, big ears or crippled joints. People of colour, from the very dark to palest of pale, the little people, the big people. Anyone that is different Lord, today is their day and for them I pray.

Father, please take the narrow minded, the bully's and name callers to task. Teach them to look beyond the facial masks and disfigured bodies, teach them to see what is truly real, to discover how truly beautilful these people are. Show them Lord how much these wonderful people contrilbute to the world.

Grow and double it did,
Costing more than just a few quid.
A massive disheveled confusion,
certainly not a complex illusion.
...

Butterfly visits
Momentarily seeks home
everlasting peace
