Robert Edgar Burns Poems

The pilot filmed in Nineteen Sixty Nine
Never aired then on T.V.
Titled Those Were The Days,
But All In The Family finally.
...

No matter what, I love you.
No matter who, I care.
No matter when you come to Me,
No matter why, I'm there.
...

May I ever again hold you,
And steal a gentle kiss?
Will I ever again begin to feel,
A "serenade of love" you miss?
...

I visited a new church
Just this Sunday past.
Before it was close to finished,
I ran out of there quite fast.
...

Higher than the tallest tree
That grows on any hill.
So softly grows my ardent love,
And grow it always will.
...

Of all the creatures in the world,
You are the only one,
That matches me so perfectly,
And fills my heart with sun.
...

I want to sing like Glen Campbell,
And Randy Travis too.
I'd love to yodel like Eddy Arnold,
Like Willy and Hank sometimes do.
...

Michelle, My belle, these are words...
Hey, did you ever wonder about
What exactly makes a bell ring?
Today I'm wondering!
...

Do you hear the whistle on the track?
A freight train is on it's way.
It's softly and peacefully calling,
As it does this time each day.
...

What happens when you knock us down,
Or blacken both our eyes?
And just when you try and bury us,
We surprise you as 'We Rise! '
...
