Randy McClave Poems

Last Night while you were sleeping,
Did you know that I was wide awake,
On my side, at your side
Waiting for morning to break.
...

As I wake up each morning
And as I begin to start a new day
I wipe the night out of my eyes
And on my knees to GOD I pray.
...

The truth in why I had to say goodbye
I couldn’t stay and let you watch me die
I am so very sick and I still want to live
Only feeling I have left, is for you to please forgive
...

You work, work, work
To provide for, and to live,
Then you buy, buy, buy
You constantly spend and you give.
...

Here stands the coward
As you look upon his face,
So afraid of the world outside
His soul is full of pity and disgrace.
...

Look out my window
See what I see
Watching the birds fly
Believing in me,
...

A puppet on a string is all that you are,
And all that you ever will be
Your told what to hear and what to say
And you're even told what you can believe.
...

After a hard shift working at the mill
I am so excited to come home to a hearty meal
While my head is aching and my muscles still hurt
I am so very excited to get home from work
...

An empty picture frame sits upon my desk
Where once upon a time a picture in it did rest
But now the frame stands lifeless and bare
Now it reminds me of a love that once was there.
...

I enjoy wishing all a very Merry Christmas
Even to the people that I do not know;
Especially when I go out Christmas shopping
And blush-fully when I stand underneath the mistletoe.
...
