Lawerence Mize, Sr. Poems

Be not afraid
As you climb the hill
Look back behind you
Take in your fill
...

Did you ever wonder
About your very last day?
How would you spend it?
What would you say?
...

Hot summer sun
Crab cakes on a bun
A cooling breeze
To put you at ease
...

Rode by houses
I lived in in the day
Now boarded-up relics
wood rot and decay
...

You spend your life
Being nourished and loved.
From those special people
The ones, God sent from above.
...

Flat on my back
All sick and blue
Long cold days of winter
With nothing to do
...

A frail old man
Sat in the corner alone
A quiet poet
Waiting to go home
...

The shadows come
The shadows go
Usually when I'm weak
Or feeling really low
...

Mind's busy
Things to do
Worried about the order
Looked up, saw you.
...

Sometimes when I sit
In my comfortable chair
I think of the world
And the unrest that's there
...
