The visit
She sat at the side of the grave. Talking away to who was there.
She got no answer but she lived her day with him.
She cried for awhile,then laugh with joy as she smiled just for a second.
Her visit was long but to her not long enough she had to visit three more graves.
Her days are spent there at the graves. For her family was lost and bring no joy.
As she walked to the other, she stopped to fix the flag on another. Gave a smile.
Then walked on.
Her visit is joy to her only with unhappiness for those she lost.
As he left she closed the gate. And now you all are safe.

The wall
The wall was built to keep them out.
Or was it built to keep us in?
Built so tall you can't climb over
And you can't go under it.
So long that you can't go round.
No doors at one end
But a gate to let you in or out.
You can touch the wall
But don't climb on it.
It's just a wall to me and you.

The American Wall
I came up on this great big wall.
Tall as two houses on top of each other.
So big you can't see over it.
I asked a man if he knew who built such a wall.
He said an american president.
For what reason I asked.
He said to keep illegal people from going on to taking job.
Food and homes.
He also said that it keeps out people that don't like america.
He said I came here the legal way and i love america.
But this wall is not going stop them.

The little boy and his flag
On the corner sat a little boy.
The American flag in his hand.
When asked why he was sitting there.
This is what he said," I watch on tv the other night
A man that said he wanted to make America great again.
He said he would make our country safe.
And Americans proud again.
He said this country was his and our flag shall fly high.
I sit here to show him I'm a red blooded American and proud of my flag.

In the Back Door Please
She would stand and yell in the back door please.
It was always the same no matter who it was.
The mailman the milkman she would tell.
In the back door please.
Children would run to the house.
But before they could make another step.
In the back door, she would request.
No one dared to come to the front
The hall light was always out.
The reason she would yell was yet to be heard.
But I would say she just clean the floor
And she would yell in the back door PLEASE!!

The old man
The old man he stood on the street corner in town.
Always had a smile for everyone.
He wore an old ragged coat and a pair of pants with holes.
It was nice day to him when you said "hello" to him.
A box was next to him on the corner.
You put ad dollars or so in the box
The old man would dance a jig for you.
Then tip his hat with a thank you.
Now on the corner where he stood is someone that can't dance a jig.
He can"t give a smile but the old box is still there.

A rose.
I know of a rose that is expected to be very pretty.
It shines in the morning sunlight like no other
It is always blossom at the right time of day.
Like a smile, when it wakes up.
It has no thorns it makes your day sad.
You can sit and watch it has the sun hits it
To bring out the prettiness.
it carries the site of joy within and brings the happiness of joy to you.
This rose is why every man who thinks his wife or girlfriend is a rose to them.
