Valerie Dohren Poems

Better to make someone smile
Rather than make them cry

Better to feed someone happiness
...

Beautiful the sunshine's glow
On a gentle summer`s day
Bringing joy to every heart
With all sadness chased away
...

Each day I watch the rising sun
Each night, the glowing moon
All time lays heavy on my mind
For you are gone too soon, too soon,
...

What say you my heart so tender
In the glow of eventide
When the world is calm and silent
And all tears fore'er subside
...

See the flowers softly blooming
All the trees, new leaves to bear
Nature's beauty thus unfurling
As we breathe the honeyed air
...

They soon forget and turn away,
for them, their days remain -
each day is just another day
and passes all the same.
...

In fields of blue I long to dwell
And frolic ‘neath the sun -
To mingle with the scented air
With each new day begun
...

Soon there will be roses
Adorning gardens fair
Soon there will be roses
Their perfume everywhere
...

O wind, O raging wind
Come seize me in your flight
Then bear me on your wings
Through realms of darkest night
...

There are only shadows –
no substance
to an evaporating world.

Time has etched its purpose upon my soul,
...
