Randy McClave Poems

Look at my hands
Then look at my face,
Can you not truly tell
That I am part of the human race.
...

Instead of asking and looking on my search
I instead am going back to church,
It is where all my answers will be found
Indeed it is where I am soulfully bound.
...

I am blessed
To all I have confessed,
I have air to breathe
And I have eyes to see,
...

Do not cry as I lay here dead
Do not sigh as my body lies in its bed,
There is no need for your bereft
I am no longer here, as my soul has left.
...

I finally ended my soulful search
I found myself a church,
From my face I assuredly removed my smirch
Today, at the Church.
...

One thing that I was taught
It was never to say, that I knew you not,
No matter of your position or the clothes you wear
I will always greet you with a welcoming smile and stare.
...

I was from drugs and temptation
And also from anger and frustration,
I was from dares and also a weakness
And also from pressure and a meekness.
...

To be honest and true
I wanna marry a woman just like you,
I want one soul to become two
Finally finding a love that I never knew.
...

Drugs control my life
But, so does sorrow, worries and strife,
Please don't tell me that I can be sober
As I wait for my life to be over.
...

I thank you Lord for the food we're about to eat
I thank you Lord for the drinks and the bread and the meat,
Thank you Lord for all that you have given me
I especially thank you Lord for my friends and family.
...
