Jerry Abrahamson Poems

We have to releave
Our tension in life
If we are to be able
To really function in life
...

Thank you Lord
For the gift of life
And the promise of
Eternal life
...

There are times
When we just want to stop
And give up on something
And just lay down and stop
...

They didn't even notice
The notice in the paper
They are just to busy
Living their own lives
...

They didn't even ask
What happened to my dad
During the past week
At church today
...

They don't go and visit
The sick like they should
But, then they might wonder
About the mood I'm in
...

I have never been very good
At promoting mysellf
I have aalwaays been told
That I'm throwiing a fit
...

What is a person supposed to do
When the only way that you knoww to protect
Is to push them away
From all of the pain annd the huurt
...

I'm proud that I survived
A car accident when I was five
From injuries that would have
Broken the strongest of men
...

I just love the fact
That I will get punished
For being good at something
Like I did something wrong
...
