Ray Hansell Poems

You sat down next to me
You wanted to explain
I said, no more excuses
You've caused me too much pain
...

The wisdom I've learned
Through the years
Was passed on to me
Because, I had listening ears
...

The sun slowly leaves the sky
I know I'm going to start to cry
Because you are the one
Who's telling us goodbye
...

Do you think that you'll forget me?
When I'm dead and gone
I know that time keeps moving
I know that life will go on
...

I didn't think I'd make it
When God took you away
But I guess I must confess
It gets better every day
...

Is there another word?
That can replace goodbye
If there is
I'd like to give it a try
...

If ever you need anything
All you have to do is ask
Whatever it is you need
Nothing, is too big of a task
...

If each and every person
Recongnizes one another
There's no telling what
We may all discover
...

Her and I used to share
A bench here in the park
We'd sit and talk for hours
As the daylight gave way to dark
...

Sometimes we're all in need
For someone to just listen
Someone we can talk to
To tell us what we're missing
...
