Ron Schmidt Poems

The silence of the night
is the winters delight
snow that muffles the sounds
are billions of snow flakes
...

Justifiably wrong whines John,
I just can't catch a break,
you say I'm sarcastic, controlling,
plastic. I'm telling you your wrong.
...

Each day I die a little more
I awake to find I'm a little older and closer to the floor.
I give thanks for another day, how I pray
And the hope that I can do some good today
...

The leaves of fall that fall are fun,
I pick them up one by one.
Red, green, orange and yellow,
the leaves of Fall are full of color.
...

The never surrounds the now say I
as the light I keep will be forever lit
Two sides of the moon where darkness lay dormant
The hustle and bustle of days gone by
...

The love inside I have for You
My walk in life has gone a skew
Solidify my approach, gather my inabilities
Please keep me solid for it is all for You
...

The feeling deep inside me
When I see good things all around
The sadness when thousands leave every day.
The tingles I feel when we are one
...

Good night gentle light
for darkness is setting in,

I see the fragments of my soul
...

For you are here as my body shakes and trembles
you are near, to my heart which beats out from unrest
you are here to keep me warm, comforting me.
Although you are small your love you provide me is endless
...
