Robert Edgar Burns Poems

To all living in the deep valley,
There is hope that your soul be restored,
When you call out to the Able Master
And believe in Him and His Word!
...

I remember my first love
Just like it was yesterday.
I was 10 years old and like me
She could play almost everyday.
...

If you open up your mouth
It is hard to pull foot out.
When you put it down on paper,
It could bite like an alligator.
...

Forty Eight keys and a space bar.
All ears hear a clickity clack.
A return button when it is singing
Will be signified by a loud crack.
...

When I see faint beams of dawn's fresh light,
I realize that I did caress the night.
Where I closed my eyes to the swaying trees
Under starlight listening to this symphony.
...

Shower her daily with praises.
Tell her she's beautiful beyond compare.
Think of her as a priceless jewel,
Then for you she'll always be there.
...

In the part of the country I live in,
You won't find this in the papers.
Because of the tourist industry,
The public won't hear of their capers.
...

I drove an eighteen wheeler,
And was gone six weeks at a time.
Longing to see my kids and wife,
Their picture in my cab was fine.
...

Hotter than a two dollar pistol.
Colder than a tin toilet seat
On the shady side of an iceberg.
You are what you eat.
...

You finish my sentences
And are always right you see.
In everything you do
You are a reflection of what's me!
...
