Randy McClave Poems

Raindrops falling upon my head

I could count them one after another
...

One thing true about this or that
Some people don't mind if I am thin or fat
And they don't care, about the length of my hair
So to make all happy I just wear a hat,
...

I once fed a starving dog
It became my friend for life
I gave a homeless man money for food
He then robbed me with his knife
...

Workers of America shout long and loud
As we work together hard and proud
We are the ones that built this great country of ours
From the strain on our backs and our blisters and scars
...

With a sadness in my heart,
And a sorrow in my mind,
When I heard his life had come to an end.
So, I gathered up all my thoughts,
...

I have traveled by bus and plane around the globe,
I have been to the forests and the beaches sand,
I have been to Japan, Amsterdam and Scotland,
But, for me there is no place like being home.
...

I want a woman with pride,
Who will not walk in front of me
Or in the rear where she I couldn't see,
But, always at my side.
...

She sent me a letter
Saying that she could do better,
So, she packed up her clothes and left...
She took the clothes that I had bought her
...

Always remember this
Before ever giving or receiving a kiss,
Don't be a Doubting Thomas
A kiss is more than just a promise.
...

You're walking in my footsteps
From the tracks
That I have left.
You're walking in my footsteps
...
