Della Hodgson James Poems

My ambition in life
  Is to live you see,
And be just what God
  would have me be.
...

I love my children, oh, so much.
  I love them better than tongue can tell
But I love them and let them be,
  Some day they will make me proud, you see.
...

Dear children, in all the years gone by
  I can not say but this,
That you have been my stay in life
  Something akin to bliss.
...

May day is coming
  When all will be gay,
‘Twil be fun and frolic
  All the live, long day.
...

Can a spider fly?  
Now I wonder why. 
If not. How do they get so very high?  
And swing their webs, from tree to tree,  
...

Autumn again is here
Beautiful Autumn!
The best time of the year
Beautiful Autumn!
...

There's joy in the fleecy clouds 
There's joy in the sky. 
There's joy in a fishing trip
Even tho the babies cry.
...

While through this vale of isles we roam
  Beneath the blue of a welcome dome,
We can only marvel, at the miracles wrought
  Through natures lessons, that are daily taught.
...

The golden summer's waning
Late flowers weave and nod,  
The golden skies are fading
Who changes them? Our God.
...

I cannot think of 
My friends as dead,  
Who walk with me
No more. 
...
