Shalom Freedman Poems

We all have other lives we might have had
We all have dreams we never knew to realize
We all have much we do not want
We all have difficulties in life
...

I have already done it or not done it-
Nothing I write from now on
Will change it very much-
I can relax-
...

What makes a small child so wonderful?
She runs around like crazy
...

There was a Poet whose only Reading was Poetry
Whose only work was Poetry
...

What would happen to us all?
If You are Not,
How can we ever hope to be for long?

If You were lost-
...

What would happen to us all?
If You are not
How can we ever hope to be for long?

If You were lost-
...

To write is to live
Life without Poetry is no Life at all-
...

Courage is what an old man needs
To not give in
...

I miss them and remember them
And think of them
And know I will never see them again
They were good to me
...

The sun begins to shine again
Morning light is here-
...
