Gregory Huyette Poems

What I don’t have concerns me a lot.
I strive for it every day.
What I do have concerns me not.
In fact, it seems in my way.
...

Darling daughter, when on the phone,
I usually say, 'You look cute today.'
Bet you're wondering all on your own,
'Without seeing me, there’s no way.'
...

What could have been is mere space.
It places last in any race.

What happened is what counts.
...

Anger wastes the day as bitterness throws it away.
These evils join forces to betray and decay.

A sunrise dies each time anger and rancor prevail.
...

Before it’s too late to obviate the past,
Take charge of the present or it won’t last.
...

With faith, hope and love, let us we pray.
We believe in this new union today,
And hope that it will always display
Mutual love, respect and equal say.
...

Technology can become very mean
By robbing the "I" with a machine.
Whether "I" Phone, "I" Tune or "I" Pad
The result can be magnanimously bad!
...

Each new day is a wonder…
A gift I don't deserve.
I'll try not to scatter it asunder
With a careless, unthinking swerve.
...

For each adult who now stands tall,
How many times a baby’s fall?
The eloquence for which we reach,
Bought by a child’s stammered speech.
So not to err is not to walk,
And no mistakes would mean no talk.
...

If I knew half as much as I think I do,

There would be twice as much that I know is true.
...
