william Konrad Poems

What do I owe my fellow man
Of equal skill and mind
Friendly support an upward hand
A word that's soft and kind
...

You've often heard
In early spring
The bird is on the wing
But that's absurd
...

Life 2

I was not
I was
...

To wake up in the morning
to a brand new day
To look around and see
that every things OK
...

A different place with different eyes
With greener grass and bluer skies.
The eyes that looked on yesterday
Saw so much less in every way
...

We struggle from the dark to reach the light.

We were warm and safe and now we feel the cold.
...

Children are laughter uncontrolled.
A joy to love, to kiss and hold
A boundless shape of energy
A treasure so short a time to be
...

I've often wondered why we're here
And as I aged it all came clear
The why of my existence is a simple theme
...

I wish:

I wish I was more sensitive to children.
