David Harris Poems

Down on the Funny Farm
where some say I was born
where laughter is the key
that trips a smile
...

So many hearts have been broken
in loves cheating game.
Everyone says it is a fickle heart to blame.
The heart that cannot settle down,
...

Everyday we face choices
in every aspect of our lives;
some are little things,
like what clothes to wear.
...

Dear Lord of all creation
who looks down on us each day.
Help us when we are betrayed and crucified
for something we have never done
...

Today I dipped into an album
from my memory store
as a place that seemed familiar
triggered off the memories.
...

A little songbird sang
from a treetop high.
It sang for blue skies
for within to fly.
...

When memories invade your thoughts,
in the quiet moments,
with laughter, tears, fears and pain.
Of promises we made so long ago,
...

For my wife who is -? Today

Today is your birthday
and you are telling everyone
...

I think there is a factory somewhere
which mass produces idiots for our society.
They build a brain individually
to work on a backward slope,
...

Dear Lord I come to you today,
a friend in a distant country
is going into surgery today.
I pray to you our Lord
...
