Edwina Reizer Poems

A heavy heart must be treated with care.
It must be made to feel as light as air.
Oh that this were easy to do,
I would do this thing for you.
...

This time is my time to think about the spring
and all those little bluebirds that have a song to sing.
And when my thoughts are on them
my heart is singing too, singing like a fool
...

Weep no more for days all gone.
Let them lay to rest.
Look upon a time to come
when thou will be blessed,
...

Morning skies of blue,
morning drops of dew,
some overhead,
some beneath my feet,
...

The people in our country have set aside a day
to celebrate with family, a day on which they pray
that giving thanks for all they have will make them think again
that many are not as fortunate and then they'll say Amen.
...

And pray tell why was it you
that came and took my mind?
Was it that you searched for me
or was I not your find?
...

Oh to be grown up I used to say
because I did not understand
that when I was saying it, much to my surprise
it would drift away like sand.
...

We would lie in the grass and clover
and search for a four-leafed one.
And just the searching together,
even if we found none
...

She burns the midnight oil.
She rubs her tired eyes.
She paces in her bare feet
and thinks of starry skies.
...

All the roses that I see now
I planted where you're not.
And all of those roses still do bloom
in my favorite spot.
...
