Cecilia Parkin Poems

I keep the Cross before my eyes
And know the sacrifice He made.
His life for mine, His life for ALL
Is what his dieing did that day.
...

The crows swing silently
On the telephone wires
Like a row of mourners
Blackly attired.
...

She looked my way, then smiled and waved.
The perfect blonde - less half my age,
I was entraped - she so behaved.
...

What gossamer threads, though strong as steel
Bind us together - as friend to friend.
What common ground do we share
In spoken and un-spoken words, deeds success
...

I pushed aside the braken
From your lonely grave,
And peered at the tombstone
Blackened with age.
...

The train - no shove or push
Just one step up
Into a compartment of red plush,
Upholstered seats, pictures above,
...

When first we met and sat,
Hands and hearts touching 'neath starry skies,
I knew only your golden hair and laughing eyes.
...

Oh Lord, let me fly - my heart be free
Of dogma and habit styfling me.
Let me walk always as you would walk,
Let me talk - as you would talk.
...

The earth, the sun, the sea, the sky
To your power they testify.
The birds, the bees, flowers and trees,
Your creation - how they please.
...

I look for you everywhere
My mind tells me your there - somewhere
'Cause when I close my eyes to sleep
Your there, as large as life to me
...
