Natalie Dirks Poems

I climb off the lawn mower, sweaty and hot
A cool glass of lemonade a refreshing thought.
As I walk to the house and survey the yard
By seed heads and dandelions no longer marred
...

I felt so heavy
Burdened down
I BEGGED the Lord
In prayer
...

I feel so helpless
So confused
Emotions churning
Fear
...

I'm just a country kid.
The chuck will's widow
Calls to me at night.
It's haunting melody tells me
...

Dishes, dishes, dirty dishes
Must I always do the dishes?
'Yes you must, ' said Mother dear.
'For Bobby's helping Daddy
...

Driving down the mountain
Hair blown all awry
Cool in the creek at noon
Blue, blue sky
...

Whene're the trouble and cares of life
Seem nearly too hard for me,
I wonder out to a quiet place
Where I can be alone.
...

Some days i think that I should like
A Bentley, sleek and glossy.
On other days I'd like a car
That wasn't quite so bossy.
...
