Pene Burkey Poems

A forest footpath is
My favorite place to
Wander widely
In wonder....
...

Felix was a man of God
He loved the Lord; He worked the sod.

He gave his all, helped the poor
...

You don't know that I love you...
You're 18 and moving out today
...

Warning:
Morphine slowly
Smothers the breath of life
And brings the sleep of death...ready
...

When I sit at the computer
She wants up into my lap,
It's so hard to type and hold her
She's not there to take a nap.
...

The loss of a parent is hard to bear
For want of their presence, their love and care.

It's hard to accept we won't have them here
...

When we walk the hood around
Minute's nose is to the ground,
Just like the blood hound...
Wond'ring what she's found!
...

Thanksgiving in November
Is the time to remember
People, places, and the things
That make me smile, laugh, and sing.
...

I like best the early fall....
Shorter days, cool breezes and all.
Blowing leaves, open windows,
Refreshing thoughts replace old woes.
...

Oh, to be a friend, not foe....
To hear God's praise, not His woe.

When boys the same toys want...
