David Harris Poems

Friends can feel like family
even though they live far away.
They inhabit a special place
in your life and your heart.
...

There are no super heroes in this world,
but there are heroes abound.
They are ordinary people
just like you and I.
...

Her eyes were
much darker than amber
as she beckoned to me
to come to her open arms
...

For Meggie who suggested I write this.

Deep in the oceans
where the little fishes play
...

All I ever wanted was a peaceful life,
but all I ever got was trouble
and a lot of strife.
I wanted at times
...

There are times when all of us
have that empty feeling in our heart.
We are not sure which way to turn
and our life seems so burnt out.
...

I’m a country travelin’ man
riding a boxcar whenever I can.
Summer you will find me
where the north winds blow
...

There are lots of memories locked away
within the shadows of my mind.
Memories of childhood years gone by
and they are located in the dark recesses
...

In the book of life
we learn a little
with each page we turn.
We learn a little tolerance
...

Standing looking out at the valley below
with its small tidal bay.
The tall masts lie drunkenly on angles
as their boats are left stranded
...
