Val Jennings Poems

Kind acts are
not the boasting kind
but show
humility.
...

If our hearts entwine are you stringing me along?
If we do it for a lark are we both engaged in song?
If we loose it in the clutch have we both stripped our gears?
If we hold the tender moments will our marriage last the years?
...

Rainbows are the sky's bouquet,
a celestial adornment.
And children are a mother's ray
of sunshine and fulfillment.
...

I wanted to explore
and let my family see
the wonder of our past
found in our family tree.
...

My father gave me his name. I'll honor it always.
I value my bequest. I'm known as, Val, today.
I was the oldest child; expected to lead the way.
I often wanted childishness. I'd really rather play.
...

Fathers' Day's this Sunday
and we are truly blessed;
for on His day we remember
that Father loves us best.
...

Stepping on organic sponge
I moved into the wonderland.
A gauntlet of fir and pine
shadowed the flowers and vines.
...

I need it yesterday!
Rush! Rush! Rush!

If I don't have it today,
...

What is it that I feel?
Is getting started
so important
that I must stop,
...

More than just a wetting,
Baptism is rebirth.
It's symbolic of one dying
and being buried in the earth.
...
