Randy McClave Poems

Some of us don't know how well we have it
In this land of ours of good and plenty,
While many say and think that their life is unfit
While their souls and stomachs are never empty.
...

She doesn't goose step when she passes me by
She never says 'Sieg Heil' when I say 'hi'
She wears no insignia on her arm or upon her chest
And nowhere on her, do I see a swastika crest,
...

A conscience mind is a sober mind
And a sober mind keeps you complete
As it will try to keep your soul honest
And will try to keep you from deceit.
...

I love you more than the daffodils
That grow on top of the hill,
I love you more than the flowers grown
And loving you, I always will.
...

Raindrops falling upon my head

I could count them one after another
...

In the garden I saw a Rose
It stood alone and seemed so sad,
But, I knew it was strong and made others glad
So, I wrote this one prose.
...

If you were to wear my shoes
Would you do the things that I have done,
Fight the battles that I must fight
Or would you turn around and run.
...

How could we look upon God's face
Without any shame or utter disgrace,
Especially after a life that many have led
Where hate and jealousy is all that they believed and said.
...

When I had money to give or to send
I became my sons very best friend,
He called and he visited me all of the time
Which cost me every bill, quarter and dime,
...

I asked Robert Burns
What inside his soul yearns,
He looked at me and then he spoke
But, then I awoke.
...
