Eva L. Shaw Poems

I've had people who have asked me,
Why I wear a smile,
When they know my situation,
Is hard, oh yes so hard,
...

When I first saw you
All I could do was giggle
Is this for real, or a dream?
Does the colour beige mean anything?
...

A young mother one day,
Knelt by her son's bedside
The doctor told her that he would likely die,
The little body was so still lying in that bed
...

I have found friends, friends who care,
They live the whole world over.
Women who love life,
Women who are strong,
...

A letter from my sister
Says 'I am your sister'-
'That cannot change'
What do these words mean?
...

I walked and talked with you today
The sun shone bright and the mountains spoke clear
The snow on the tops glistened as I watched, but
The river ran cold.
...

As I walked down life's pathway all alone
I met a friend called Jesus on the way
I asked Him to come into my heart and live within
And I would love Him, yes love Him, forevermore.
...

Terror, torture, memories,
Confusion, bad times, good times,
I cannot understand it.
I am loved but I feel hated,
...

Words and Questions
puzzle - by the lakeside
sister - mine?
Do you love me mummy?
...

The water ripples over the stones
The horses neigh in the pasture field
The leaves twitter in the breeze
The sun shines through the branches.
...
