Lydia Thacker Poems

I want to read a billion words
Write a song to change the world
I want to sing the song of my heart
Teach my son about girls
...

To make you smile,
I'd move the stars,
if I could find a way.
...

I have no words
With which to convey
The amount of hope
You have led me to find
...

If I could teach the people
to open their eyes,
look past the darkness,
reach for the skies,
...

'May I keep you? , ' I ask
And you laugh as though I jest.

My heart sinks,
...

Remember my laugh,
fresh and deep
as the needed embrace,
tranquil
...

Mother Moon, shine bright this night
as I cradle the one I love;
guard his dreams with thy light
and rock him from above.
...

Darkness looms and
shadows grow long.
The moon hides behind
a thick veil of clouds,
...

Shadowed voices
Lamplight cannot illuminate
Lines on the wall
Pouring down
...

As I was walking by a pungent lake
Just outside of Meigs,
I stopped and did a double-take,
A frog with four hind legs! ! ! ! !
...
