Randy McClave Poems

The Sword that I carry
Though made not of iron or steel,
It is a mighty sword
That I proudly do so wield.
...

Love me forever,
I will give you my soul,
Love me tonight,
And I wont let you go.
...

When a single woman becomes thirty
She becomes very impatient and flirty,
Her childbearing years are now in high swing
Now she is desperately looking for a wedding ring,
...

In Louisiana where the Mississippi does flow
Upon that mighty river I traveled a long time ago,
I was a sightseer and a captain upon a lonely boat
I still remember that land as we slowly did float,
...

I like my bed because it sleeps me
It sets my imagine and soul free.
It is so very soft and snug
Where you can always feel warm and smug,
...

Don't listen to false prophets
They'll always lead you astray,
You won't read the Bible
And you won't go to church and pray.
...

It was a year ago today
That my Mom had passed away,
It is the day that my Mother died
It was the day that I cried.
...

Dear absent father
Don't think that your child is ever a bother,
Never assume that the mother taught the child to hate you
Or that they lied to them it's not true,
...

Even when she is in times of stress
While wearing a suit or an apron or a dress,
With her worries she will not confess
She decides she is the only one to depress.
...

Have you ever heard the House Wren sing
To its mate just to satisfy,
You might say no, but you've seen them take wing
And to hear it? Well, neither have I.
...
