Randy McClave Poems

I am an American, I shout
When the flag marches on by,
I am American, and I am proud
As Her glory comes to my eyes.
...

If I don't ever trust again,
It will be because of you,
And if I stay angry more than I want,
That too, will be because of you.
...

Kentucky is my land
Kentucky is my home,
Kentucky is my heart
Kentucky, is my soul.
...

I am not a man
Nor am I just a boy
I am the sailor
Sailing a different voyage.
...

If I had but one last wish
I wander what would that wish be,
Would I wish to be with you
Or would you already be with me.
...

I felt the blowing of the wind
As it entered my breadth from deep within
It entered my soul, and then wouldn't let go
It is the wind, from whence life begins.
...

A day without you
Is an eternity without living
It is a time without need,
It is a moment without giving.
...

To Die Alone

Sometimes I sit and wander,
While other times I walk and ponder
...

Itchy, irritating little pest
Now you have landed upon my chest
First upon my dog now you jump on me
I hate you, I hate you, you little flea
...

She shampoos and cuts the hair of your pet,
She loves all animals and she is not a vet,
She clips their toenails and laughs with her humor,
She is of course the loving and caring pet groomer.
