Paul Warren Poems

Do you feel the light of day
As the warmth of the sun is at play
Does it steel you for the bad news
That makes your heart cry the blues
...

Here's to the boys I once knew
When we stood together and saw it through
Where I laughed and joked with each one
As we gathered together when it was done
...

Stop pursuing me
Leave me alone
I want t be free
All the years are gone
...

Life is a maze
That keeps me in circles
Around you go
Looking for the end
...

One day in central Africa a long time yonder
A woman and her family started to wander
Away from their home lands
Wanting a better life was in her plans
...

The world kept pushing him on and on
He didn't turn any corners just straight along
It wasn't that he was searching for anything
Not even his own song to sing
...

The uniform was put on each work day
It started as blue serge cleaned and pressed creases to stay
And I progressed through the years dedicated
Changing blue and less parade ground antiquated
...

In this life we race around
Left and right and up and down
Just looking for a way through
Making noise or staying silence too
...

What makes you happy day to day
When you need cheering up I say
Any little laugh will do you know
Go on smile just let it flow
...

Waiting around in our lockdown
Keeping busy without a frown
Suddenly what did I see on TV
Something that I thought I'd never see
...
