Anne Lacy Poems

Yellow cactus
Fresh with thorns
Let me tell you how it was born
You see what once was
...

I am so tired
And no one understands
Maybe that is what makes me so tired,
The knowledge that I need a caring ear
...

Would you guess
A simple hug
A caring word
To show you still believe in her
...

To face her sunlight hours
She will need
More than her own strength can give
So carry her
...

Let us view
The world
As she sees it
A little girl
...

I died to live
So did you?
Then join me
In this fight against the odds
...

Listen
Take time to hear
What others say
It might just be important
...

I am watching you
I see you begin to fade
Your once bright light
Is growing dim
...

One more day
That is all you’ll say
You cry and scream at the light
I think I’ve finally seen
...

The leaves
They begin to change
Just as you did
From laughter as it used to be
...
