Randy McClave Poems

Is a man's existence worth more than a loaf of bread
To save himself from starvation so he steals to be fed
Then off to prison should he then be led
If a man cannot afford food, should he be better off dead.
...

To all my friends I wish to say goodbye
As tomorrow I know not what is in store for me
That might be the day that I am meant to die
Then up in heaven, I will be with my family,
...

If I could only relive my life
Just to undo the mistakes and relinquish my strife
To remove the errors that I once had done
And maybe forget something, or even someone
...

I go to bed with both sadness and fear
Who will be the next voice that I will hear
Will it will be the gentle voice of someone I know
To greet me with a 'hi' or even a 'hello'
...

Sweet Bonnie, Bonnie lass
She is walking through the grass
With the wind blowing in her hair,
She is looking for the man
...

It takes one man to tell a lie
To start a rumor he will deny
Then to hide and cower in the light
As he has no dignity and no pride.
...

As I lay there dying
You are somewhere not crying
As you know not where I am.
I ask the Lord to forgive you
...

Think not only of today
But, think also of tomorrow,
Think of happiness
And not only of sorrow.
...

Death will come to us one an all
Maybe in the springtime or even in the fall
Or even in the summertime or maybe the winter
But, whom knows when death might enter.
...

When you lie or cheat or falsely judge
Then against yourself GOD he will hold a grudge.
He will look down upon you without pity or shame
Then in his book of life he will not call your name.
...
