Vicki Ellis Poems
A righteous woman is a rare thing to find,
And worth much more than gold.
She’s true to her man,
He knows in his mind
...
Said the little Boy to the little Girl
“When I grow up, I’ll be King of the world,
...
When the world's falling down around you
And you've no clue what it's all about,
...
You told me you needed him
And I knew it was true;
But what I always wondered
Was did he need you?
...
I’ve watched you grow for some time now;
I’m quite impressed by what I see.
So here’s to you, my good friend;
My compliments-and a poem, from me.
...
Gold we were:
my skin, your hair;
full of sunshine, sparkling in the air.
And oh, how blue and gold your eyes:
...
Locked safe inside your fortress walls-
The walls you’ve built your whole life long;
Your steely fears and concrete points of view
Now quite surround you,
...
It’s been three-thousand hours
And twice as many tears;
Since my man’s been gone away
Feels like a thousand years.
...
The first time I met the Outlaw,
He was wickedly clever-he said,
“We’ve been waiting to see you for years-
...
I’m the kind of woman
Finds it hard to settle down
I’ve always been that way,
Traveling round from town to town;
...
1. I remember that first day
When that mean ol' man tried to give you away;
We had no place for another dog,
We had more than enough so I told him to go
...
I'm sorry for the choices I made that turned out badly for you.
I'm sorry I was addicted to change.
I'm sorry your trust was broken
And your concept of right is so strange.
...
I have my lifetime partner
And I know that you do too
But there is one thing that I desire:
I’d like to dance one dance with you.
...
It must be nice to know it all:
To stand above and watch me fall
And smugly know that it was you
Who dealt the last blow I could take
...
'Never put off until tomorrow that which can be done today.'
This was an age old adage I heard my mother say.
But in my life I have truely found
It's sometimes seems best to turn those words around
...
The trees love the wind,
It makes them feel alive.
Shaking their branches playfully
On an Autumn afternoon.
...
'Passion' as defined today
Is naught but a sensation-
A primal itch to scratch
With no real sentiment at all.
...
The chilling frost has finally changed.
It now appears as icy rain
That fills the street with raging torrents,
Swirling urgent down the drain.
...
My rebel heart cannot be owned,
It flows like a swift clear mountain stream;
Finding the path of least resistance
Among life's rocky hardships;
...
I know a simple little man
His dog is his only companion.
He works hard most days and
Drinks hard most nights and
...

The Best Poem Of Vicki Ellis
The Righteous Woman
A righteous woman is a rare thing to find,
And worth much more than gold.
She’s true to her man,
He knows in his mind
She’ll always be there for him to hold;
She’s a hard-working lady,
who feeds her family well,
And after working hard all day, she
still can make her husband yell,
“Precious Lady, I thank God
you fell into my open arms;
You fill my life with
oh, so many charms.”
She’s strong of body,
And sound of mind,
With a heart of compassion
That’s unusual to find;
She’ll never turn away
A soul truly in need in need,
(Maybe that’s why her house has
so many cats to feed!)
She’s got a head for business,
Spinning straw into gold,
She’s weaves a bright legacy
For her family to hold.
Invests her time and knowledge,
Then makes a move that’s bold.
She looks for innovations
To simplify her work,
With unfailing sense of duty
which she will never shirk.
She has no fear about
Winter’s rain or snow,
She gratefully harvests her garden
After nurturing it to grow,
Then she preserves its glorious bounty
in a cool space below;
Food for the harsh season, to go with the flow.
Her woodshed’s full of oak and pine,
Her cellar’s stocked with dandelion wine,
The quilts in her house are soft and warm
So she’s got no cause to feel alarm.
She’s an asset to her husband;
Folks treat him with dignity,
because she helped him work a plan
to be all he could be.
When asked for his opinion
by rich, important men,
He talks it over with his lady
Before getting back to them.
She is calm and confident,
Faces the future with a smile;
Knowing her family loves her and
dreaming all the while
of her children’s children’s children,
crowded round her knee,
Listening to the tales
their Omah tells,
with amazement in their smiles.
Her words are filled with wisdom,
Her actions full of grace,
The sweetness of her spirit
lasts longer than a pretty face.
Her unity of purpose-
To pass her wisdom on-
Will reach for generations
Long after she is gone.
