david lessard Poems

As I go to sleep, I'll think of you -
The things we've done, the things we'll do -
And my dreams of you will last and love will stay-
though the slumber hours, until the light of day.
...

A time for you and a time for me,
to be whatever, we choose to be;
to set our sights, to reach the peak,
to realize goals, we truly seek.
...

I saw you as you were,
Not as the person I last viewed -
You were handsome, strong and good,
Movie star looks and a great smile.
...

Out of the great, green, grove of trees,
In the darkness of the night;
The snowy owl came sllenty by,
A graceful poem in flight.
...

I've climbed the highest mountains, swam the deepest sea,
Struck gold up in Alaska, felled the tallest tree,
I've ridden wild broncos and slept on desert sands,
and lifted massive weights, with these old, arthritic hands.
...

Here's to coffee! 'Tis such a boon...
It takes from a stumbling goon,
awakens me from my cocoon,
into a more affable baboon.
...

Shelter me, from life's dark sorrows,
Take me 'neath your wings of love;
Give me to me the secrets of the 'morrow,
As I search the heavens up above.
...

I know now
what I didn't know then,
but it's too late,
and I have other things to tend.
...

this March madness is already driving me up a wall,
I watch my favorite teams compete and strive to win;
today two of the favored ones have taken their fall,
reduced to losers, cast aside in basketball's dustbin.
...

I have a love affair with life-
it's taught me secret things-
it speaks of long ago-
and what the future brings-
...
