Janis Land Raymer Poems

You were a wonderful man-
intelligent, loving, and kind.
I really miss you Papa,
you're often on my mind.
...

The goal has not been met
Complicated destiny-
Victorious crises
Destination unclear
...

The sun doesn't know
how the earth yearns for his
warmth, his touch.
He doesn't know
...

Dark, desolate highways
Leading to
nowhere.
Echoes of
...

I remember your smile
so bright and full of love
you gave me a glimpse
of the peace of God's love.
...

I say 'I love you'
You say 'I'm nothing special'
Don't you realize you're everything to me?
...

Those you love the most
Hurt you the deepest.
They carry in their arsenal-
Your Fears...
...

grey ones and blue ones
round ones, square ones
old ones and new ones.
...

I close my eyes and wonder...
will anyone ever understand?
I close my eyes and wonder...
will I always stand alone?
...

Small, trusting, vulnerable
you never had a chance.
Victim of a negligent choice,
I was afraid to dance the dance.
...
