The Need To Write Today Poem by Biff McGuire

I have the need to write today
It may be in some Ho-Hum way
To organize the things I say

To my parents a thank you
For giving me life
To those gone, I give thanks
For creating my wife

To my wife I say thanks
For the products of love
The sons and a daughter
Sent here from above

To my offspring a thank you
For challenging me
And showing me life’s seldom
As we think it should be

For the flowers and mountains
And water and frogs
My home and my garden
My grass and my dogs

It seems, the need to write today
Was more a need, to thank and pray?
To those above who made it so
For this grand world to which I go
