Randy McClave Poems

I made myself a solemn promise
That was committed to a prescribed role
It was a calling and a course of action
I was going to commit my word and then my soul.
...

Is heaven just a cloud up in the sky
Where the righteous will go when they die
Onto a lofty, fluffy cloud floating up high above
Where they will be forever content, and always in love,
...

Sneaky, quivering little mouse
I didn't think that you were in my house
Then I looked and there you were
With your little pink tail and your gray fur
...

I took myself a vacation,
Though some say it was a holiday
As I needed to reduce my stress and worries
So I decided I needed and had to get away,
...

Some people they will die rich
While many more will die broke and poor
Though at the end of life we will all meet
At the entrance to the very same door,
...

Two men will argue and then two men will fight
Maybe from hatred or stubbornness they disagree
One then must be wrong and then the other right
Instead of a mediator they both need a referee,
...

I went to a fair that came to our town once a year
To eat some popcorn and also drink some root beer
Maybe get some cotton candy and also ride some rides
I might even play some games and win myself a prize.
...

We were once joined together
Forever I thought we would be one
Not two or three or four or five
Just one and to continue on,
...

I was tested by fire when I was a young boy
I believe my age I was either four or five
It burnt me, it scarred me, me it wanted to destroy
But I won that test of fire as I did survive,
...

Small, insignificant little sparrow
Just think if I had shot you with an arrow
Not because of hate or a food demand
But only because I hold a weapon in my hand
...
