Jim Yerman Poems

How lucky we are as humans
that on the wings of nature drift
a myriad of wonders...
A host of unexpected gifts.
...

I love the big moments that happen in life…times of celebration…times of mirth…
Birthdays, marriages, family reunions, Christmas's and births…

These are wonderful moments…moments I don't wish to demean…
...

There is this funny thing about alphabets...
from the letters they contain
can be created
words of love and happiness...
...

When you walk in silence in the morning...
you hear the wind whisper to the trees...
As the syncopation of the crickets
Floats upon the breeze.
...

I hadn't gotten very far…
when I happened to look up
and see a shooting star.

She said, "Look how old I have become...do you still love me yet? "
He smiled, "I shall always be your Romeo...and you...my Juliet."

"But I was once so beautiful...or have you, to my delight... forgot."
...

I love the way I see the world...
So it should come as no surprise...

I wish everyone who sees the world...
...

When our world needs a little brightness...when we need a little fun...
When we're looking for adventure...we're provided with the sun.

And when it's time to rest...a time for peace...when lovers swoon
...

BLINK and you're born...BLINK now you're walking...BLINK before you know it...you've grown
BLINK you are working...BLINK now you're married...BLINK you have children of your own.

BLINK you have grandchildren...BLINK you're retired...and now you have time to think
...

He searched the whole world over,
from the valleys below
to the mountain above.
He thought his quest would be difficult...
