Joseph T. Renaldi Poems

My darling.
The twilight shadows will soon fall,
I hear the bugle's shrill call,
And my thoughts are meandering far,
...

Every little child should have a pet -
And be responsible for its care and to love,
A dog, a bunny, a parakeet, a pony, a turtle,
Or any other pet not mentioned above.
...

Beware American's of the threat at hand,
The terrorist plot to destroy our land.
It is not the fear of the Al Qaeda or Taliban,
But those radical forces that are part of the evil plan.
...

Farewell to summer's azure sky,
Rays of lustrous sunlight,
Fluffy, white clouds floating by,
The scintillating stars at night.
...

The gurgling brook, the rushing stream,
The hail, the wind, the gale,
The Winter season begins to wane,
Spring emerges in the hills and vale.
...

A lighthouse stands near the rugged shore
To warn ships of the dangerous rocks and waves,
And aiding them from going astray,
Guiding them to a safer way.
...

It's an old-fashioned birthday
that I'm thinking of
when colorful ballons and confetti
come falling down from above.
...

Like the flowering stages of a rose
preparing to bloom in the Spring,
the rearing of a child
is a meticulous and sensitive thing.
...

A little bit of compassion lives
Within our heart each day,
When you decide to perform a kindly deed
In a most sincere and honorable way.
...

Our Creator gave us the Harvest time
As a gift to enrich each hungry heart.
The fruits of his efforts we've reaped,
Sing a hymn of praise for his part.
...
