Rita Hawkins Poems

What is there left to do,
We are entering a year so new,
But a lot of people are feeling blue,
Some because of deaths in the family,
...

You make it so hard on yourself
But theres nobody else
That could ever understand
The feelings that you felt
...

Is it hard to feel that you are a blessing?
You know that God made you for someone,
But at times you feel you are done,
You are losing this race you are trying to run.
...

Work monday through saturday,
And then on the seventh day rest,
This is the best way to do things.
God did this, that is one reason to say
...

My aunt owned one dog named Linus, the other Bezel
But her favorite animal was a frog,
I do not know why but she had so many figures of them,
You could jog them.
...

Why must there be war?
It takes so many lives, and ruins others to the core.
I know what we are fighting for, and do not get me wrong I support our troops,
I know that without them, we would have nothing including soups.
...

This is dedicated to a woman whom I loved and will always miss. I know now she has met her true love, and she needed that. She also needed a home to call her own and now she has that. I just want to take a minute to tell the world the type of woman she was, and I can not think of any better way to do it, besides through one of the many things she loved about me and that was my poetry.

Her name was Marla Price,
She loved all living things, but she did not like snakes or mice.
...

There is one thing that we all seek to find,
It is not anything that is yours or mine,
It is kind of something that stays in the mind.
What is the thing I speak of?
...

We say thankyou to so many people,
We often wait until the holiday to say thanks to God,
That is not what he wanted when he sent Jesus to be our mod.
...

A child in a abusive home often ask what love is
All they really know is when their parent(s) get there
They must roam without any care.
It is not fair.
