Bill Grace Poems

Sometimes we are trapped
Better not to feel but to react
The lieutenant who under fire called a meeting of his men
To another realm of God's universe did his indecision send
...

Lubbock has a fifties feel
Texas Tech's gracious-spacious campus
Is quite real.
This stoolies third visit prompts a need to quote
...

On that small patch of land known so long
What has been fact since Yorktown
Our strength is in combined arms
...

After morning coffee with Wayne
Talking with wife about Dewey the library cat
My eye falls on Mom's old book case
That was a gift from one Josephine Strain of G.J.R. fame
...

When he became fond of a fountain pen
He would give it away.
He did not want the pen to own him.
...

With the orders to Germany I knew that it was over
He would not stay in touch despite my grasping almost begging
The teaching years, the insurance years, the Quaker years, the chaplaincy years;
I guess it was just too much change to track.

As one who owned three Chevrolet Vegas
My loyalty to: 'Buy American' - can not be deeply questioned.
Aunt Eleanor's lectures on balance of payments
Struck a deeper mark than she would ever have guessed.
