Patricia Kelley Poems

America have you quickly forgotten our Forefathers?
They taught us the meaning of being sisters and brothers.
Let's start with our first American President George Washington who led us to victory.
Who showed us how to care about others!
...

I think about America's beautiful oceans, where the deep blue waters rush to kiss the land of the free.
I think about the open lands of sand and trees, hills and valleys that stretch out to the blue skies, feeling winter's icy breeze, or summer's sudden hot flash, or fall's fresh breath.
I think about fields of all different vivid colors of beautiful wildflowers that stretch out as far as I can see.
I think about the birds' that hear God's voice and head south to escape winter's icy sneeze.
...

I wouldn't take a penny for my wife.
We've both shared a long life.
We've shared a life of 71 years.
His eyes filled with emotional tears.
...

It's that inner turmoil that eats your insides, when that relationship starts falling apart.
You have a broken heart.
Here's when the threats come, the fight over the children. Who gets what? Children stand quietly behind building up that inner anger, standing by seeing their parents turn into strangers.
You feel like you're in immediate danger.
...

Papa bear, get up!
He sets up.
I have something special for you today.
It's chocolate day!
...

Valentine's Day!
Always reminds me of our special day.
When we walked through the barefoot aisles of glistening warm white sand,
In the Virgin Islands,
...

King Solomon asked the Lord God for knowledge and wisdom.
Above riches or gold for his kingdom,
The Lord God blessed him exceedingly.
Because, he did not ask for long life or the death of his enemies,
...

I will really never know how many martyrs gave up the ghost.
Of being beheaded or tortured by wild animals to became a fire’s roast.
Yes, they were burnt alive hanging upside down from trees.
Or crucified upon a cross as our Lord and Savior,
...

Polycarp was his name.
He lived a life without shame.
He was tossed into the stadium.
His only offense was confessing to be a Christian.
...

Have faith my friend.
God’s eye is on the sparrow.
You don’t need to worry about today or tomorrow.
Listen to His word.
