Ruth Rayment Poems

Beyond the sea
I know I can be
Everything I want to be
...

Break me down
Into a smaller self
And allow me to see
...

I’ve come home
Back to where my roots once were
I’ve come back home
To where you once were
...

I have nothing to write
Nothing to be said
No thoughts in my head
When I depart to bed
...

You may not believe what I have to say
You may not agree say go away
You might sit and pretend to listen
Pretend to care
...

Tell me what we should do
To be old
To have grey streaks in your hair
To have wrinkles on your nose
...

There’s no one there
To think or care
No one to stand or point nor stare
There’s just one person you must face
...

Daddy’s little Girl that is what I’ll always be to you,
With me sitting upon your knee at the age of three or two.
With your glaring smile to ease my tears, you made me feel secure
Beyond all belief I was daddy’s girl I knew that for sure.
...

All for the sake of you
I will try my hardest to succeed,
But please don’t be disappointed if I fall
For I don’t mean to....
...

All for the sake of you
I will try my hardest to succeed,
But please don’t be disappointed if I fall
For I don’t mean to....
