Jacquie StewartHeimann Poems

I glance down and smile
My little girl looks at me
In my best dress and shoes
Red lipstick on her grinning face
...

(To TC upon her graduation)

Fearful steps
Great unknown
...

White and fluffy, sailing through the sky
Images of our childhood dreams
A fiery dragon, a pirate ship
An angel with gossamer wings
...

I turn on the TV and what do I see
Tons of disasters blaring at me
Murder and rapists, bombs and attacks
What in the world can I say about that
...

As I stood staring at the trees
Devoid of color, empty of leaves
I feel a great sadness and depression
Could this be one of lifes' little lessons
...

Cry me a river
Then sing out a song
Go celebrate life
After I'm gone
...

Like two leaves
Gently swirling, twirling
Briefly touching
Floating through the air
...

Best friends
Once close
Drift away
Why?
...

They look down
Tears fall
Sadness overwhelms
The deaths, the tragedies, the strife
...

Sun peeks, moon sets
Scented evergreens sway softly
Hushed silence, muffled footsteps
An eagle calls from overhead
...
