Faith Elizabeth Brigham Poems

this will be the first
Christmas in seventeen years
i will be without you
it hurts so bad to know you
...

God forgive this sin of mine,
I know how grave it is.
But I promise this will be
The last offense of mine.
...

if wishing made it so
we'd be lovers you and i
but i have my husband still
and you your lovely wife
...

according to my recollection
i remember nothing
about you
mostly because you
...

I went down to the graveyard
just to see my daddy's grave.
I went down to the graveyard
just to see my daddy's grave.
...

she had it all
a beautiful face
with wide eyes
that drove men wild
...

i admit it-
i wanna be hip
i've been known
to write poems
...

your love is like an ocean breeze
so gently blowing across the sea
your endearing love envelopes me
while at the same time it sets me free
...

i finally parted with
the old living room coffee table
leaving it curb-side for
the waste technician
...

i keep forgiving you
for all the wrongful
things you do
i've prayed and prayed
...
