Randy McClave Poems

Don't hate someone
Because someone wants you to hate them,
Don't dislike anyone
Because someone wants you to dislike them.
...

I am not happy
No, I am not,
I lost in a war
That I had valiantly fought,
...

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.
...

Last night was our very first date
And I must say that it was great,
She wasn't a tease, and I was at ease
Not once did I hesitate.
...

When everyone stared,
I truly cared.
When everyone else pondered,
I never not once wondered.
...

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