Phyllis Strong Poems

Why am I so fat;
Do you really want to know?
Do you have the time to listen?
Ok, here I go.
...

If no one was sick,
How could Jesus do the miracle of healing.
If no one gave,
How could a harvest come back from giving.
...

What if I wrote a poem of elegance
It could be a song,
And the song was so beautiful;
Everybody would sing along.
...

We are here to serve;
Or you can call it give.
To bless others with our skill.
...

You hear people say;
“Their mom is all they had.”
What about the kids,
That all they know is dad.
...

I work part time outside the home,
But when I clock out, my days not gone.
I’m overwhelmed with much to do;
Part time for them, full time for you.
...

I’m blessed; I’ve made it through a storm;
The ones life puts us through.
I’m blessed to have my first child;
At the age of forty-two.
...

If you’ve ever needed help,
And wondered why nobody gave a hand.
You’ll look back and thank them;
Because God had a plan.
...

Always watching me, every step I take.
Always you hear me, every sound I make.
Always you love me, unconditional love.
Love everlasting; never the end of.
...

I saw a surveillance video
From a camera mounted on a public bus;
Two guys were having an augment,
But only one really wanted to fuss.
...
