Philip Charles Brown Poems

When time was my friend, I'd lollygag and laze
It was all in front of me I had so many days
When time never entered the passing mind
And I thought I had all the time
...

Tomorrow's Thanksgiving
I'm thankful a lot
I think of my family
And I'm glad what I've got
...

If I was white, i'd be rich
get a shovel, make a ditch
fill it up with water
workin like I oughta
...

The greatest place in all the earth
Cannot begin to estimate worth

The land of sweet liberty
...

Had four brothers
now I got two
hate the pain
thank god I got you
...

I was a boy I did not understand
that things get crazy and out of hand
I was a boy and could not see
That one day you would not be
...

So he thought he was done
Love like that hidden in the sun
But when it came it surprised
And then tears filled his eyes
...

If I make a mistake and fall on my face
Will you be there, to help me retrace
Where I went wrong and need to realign
Will you post a directions sign
...

Here's another
thinking of my brothers
Miss you Paul and John
damn how time has gone
...

Well I thought that I was done
but words I got and words is fun
I been crazy with my thoughts of late
and I'm mixed up, but it ain't hate
...
