Steel McCain Poems

If you didn’t know
My special day was 40 years ago
Early morning foggy gray
Rhonda gave birth to Lucy’s baby
...

You are to me what I am to you
Honest, Just and True
Between us there are very few
No one in the world treats me as you do
...

shining is blinding
glowing is knowing
knowing what is showing
shining is blinding
...

There was this kid
Who made it do what it did
Changed then hid
In a place highly coveted
...

Why do you love me?

because my skin is so dark and lovely
smooth as silk, very touchy feely
...

Why I write?

I write to ease my pains
from the headaches and migrains
...

emotions are overflowing
enough to fill an ocean
at this point in life
not knowing where to turn or which bridge to burn
...

I have no family
I have no friends
Let me explain
Where do I begin?
...

It is done
I am gone
No more fun
Not in a casket
...

time is running out
for this old soul
eagerly, rapidly approaching
and nobody knows
...
