Tears
Harold r Hunt Sr Oct 2014
Tears
Tears are here
Tears are there
Tears are everywhere
Cries of tears from men
Cries of tears women
Cries of tears from all the children
They cry tears for peace
They cry tears to stop the wars
They cry tears for help from all of us

A Day in heaven.
Harold r Hunt Sr May 2014
A day in heaven with God, in the early morning he hands all the angels a list of names of people he wants in heaven with him. By noon, he stops at the gate and welcomes the new comers.A long line that takes him to the early evening, Then it to the gates of hell to bring the good people away from there. A job that runs the whole night. Then it to sleep he says,with one eye open to watch who is coming soon. To spend a day in heaven with him.

A talk with God.
Harold r Hunt Sr Dec 2015
A talk with God
I had a talk with God the other day.
He asked me so many questions I answer the best i could.
He asks,why is there so much hate in my world.
I told him, Because man cannot live with each out.
He asked, why do they have to ****.
I said it's because of the hate and thinking one is better than the other.
He asked Why does man and women,steal,lie and cheat on each other.
I told him I have no answer for this.
For if I did The would Say I was better than God.
And I really don't have the answer for that.

No Lights
Harold r Hunt Sr May 2014
No lights.
What happens when the lights go out?
It gets dark and you can't see.
It gets scarey and you become afraid.
You can't walk because you'll bump your head.
So what happen when the lights go out?
You go to sleep for its bed time!

The Days Before Christmas
Harold r Hunt Sr Nov 2015
The days before Christmas
It was about two days before Christmas.And dad was hanging the lights on the roof.
Things were going just great at the time. When all hell broke loose.
Dad he fell through the roof. And broke both his legs.
The doctor told him it would be six weeks before he could come home.
Mom was at the mall buying last min gifts. When she fell on the ice and broke her arm.
I found myself in the kitchen making pies for Christmas dinner.When the cat jumps on the table.
And ate the pie fillings.
I went to turn on the tree lights. When a light blew out and caught the tree on fire.
And burnt house down.
The neighbors they brought us food to eat. It was pizza and wings.Because the dog took the turkey.
It was all gone.
At the hotel I step out to go to the store. But when I return our gifts was gone.
The police when they left said "Merry Christmas to you have a good night".
My reply to the best I could was Ba humbug to Christmas I believe in the Easter bunny.

Candidate for President
Harold r Hunt Sr Nov 2015
Candidate for President
The candidate they all are aligned on the stage.
A debate we shall have.
Question and answers fired from everywhere.
Money, guns, illegals are on their minds.
They tell us what they want to do,
Not want they will do.
A job for Joe is out the window as Juan gets free housing and food stamps.
Guns they say are killing people. But guns don't people do.
So I say to all the candidate tells your lies now.
For we the people are prepared for the same we have had before.
No truth from you or a President
Vote for a poet!

He comes At night
Harold r Hunt Sr Sep 2014
He comes At Night
Who is this man they call Santa?
Is he a crook that just likes milk and cookies?
Why does he dress in red?
So I can't see him from my bed!
Why does he bring me toys?
Is it a joy for him to be given?
He comes at night and not at day
I hear the bells on his sled.
Wonder why he comes at night is it because i ask him why
He comes at night?

Sitting On The Mountain top
I climb a mountain slowly.
Trees below look like tall sticks in the ground.
I get near the top and can't see anything below.
So I look up and start to goto the top.
I climb a little more and just below I see a small cloud.
Just little ways to go my head is spinning .
To the top I'm a step away. Grass on top looks just as green.
Now I'm at the top looking up. I do do not see anything but blue sky.
No angles no god .Ask myself where did they go.
I'm sitting on this mountain top and I'm alone.

Hollow Brick Road
You can hear the echoing sounds
When the horses go passing by.
The loud sound in your mind.
A hollow sound.
The children playing make the noise only louder
As they run and play on the hollow street of brick.
Where can you find this hollow road you want to know?
To your dreams, as you listen to the sounds of the clock passing time.

Smile
Little keys open big locks
Simple Words reflect great thoughts
Your smile can cure block hearts
So keep on smiling like a rock
With each smile you get a friend
And with each friend you get love in return.
Smile my friend and love will grow
As you can only smile.

Santas gift
Harold r Hunt Sr Dec 2015
Santa's gift
Santa was at the store the other day.
When he came out, he saw a little boy.
The little boy was crying.
Santa right away saw the little boy was dressed in rags.
Santa asks the little boy what was wrong.
The boy said in these words.
I'm not having Christmas this year.
For my father has no job and we are going to move.
My mother has cancer and hard time with it is catching up to her.
My sister is little,happy child and I feel sorry for her because I have no gift.
I wrote to Santa asking him to bring a doll. I want nothing but happiness for her.
This brought tears to Santa's eyes. He told the boy to wait right there.
He went to the store and bought the little girl her doll and the boy in the truck he had asked for in his letter.
Santa went outside and handed the gift to the little boy and said in a deep but sad voice MERRY CHRISTMAS
And walked away.
The little boy look at him and smiled he knew it was santa.
For only Santa and him knew the story .

They took a dip towards the ground .123 all ten in a row.
Then all of a sudden the disappeared out of sight at the other end of town.
I ran to find out where they were and to my surprise I saw ten broom sticks all in a row.
Standing as if they were told. The ******* cat stood guard.
The light in the old vacant house was as bright as the full moonlight.
It was a sight to be seen for sure 10 witches in a parade.

I Walk
I walk this world.
I hind in the shadows.
I watch all of mankind.

Some good and some bad.
The good makes me smile.
While the bad makes me cry.
The world is for all to be shared.
There should not be any fighting.
I walk and watch with many of faces.
I listen to prays for peace and cry of to stop the wars.
The prays for peace and happiness is a joy to me
The fighting makes me cry,O Father why?
I just walk and stand by for his answer.

Leaving fells right
Harold r Hunt Sr Aug 2014
Leaving feels right
I leave you because the walls are closing in.
I feel your love is wrong and I know living is right.
I feel now that I am gone I can be free once more.
To find a love that will be right on so wrong.
Tightness of our love was wrong but was so right.
Touching you was like a whip that ripped my heart when I was wrong but doing right.
So good bye my love maybe wrong but it does not feel right.

Love You Mom
Harold r Hunt Sr May 2014
I look I see, I touch I feel
Just to see if this is real
So much pain I should not have to bear
If only I knew that someone cared
You were always there, always so aware
Yet problems of yours you never would share
If my life holds just one regret
It would be that your suffering I could have erased
I miss you Mom, your love I will never forget
My life now will never be the same
Your phone calls, your visits, the thoughtful things you used to do
No one could ever be quite like you
But i'm a mom also and I have to pursue
You are my inspiration to be loved like you
Good bye now I love you, take care .

The Phone Calls
Harold r Hunt Sr Sep 2014
The phone call.
I sit here just waiting for the phone to ring.
In the middle of the night. I hear it ring.
It gives me a fright.
Two rings and I want to scream 'do I dare to pick it up.
I dread who might be on the other end. Or could it be them.
Three rings and I think different things.
Did they make it or are the dead.
I think this is the call that we all do dread.
The fourth ring and I reach for the phone thinking should I let it ring once more.
The phone does stop and I wonder why I froze to this call.
Then it rings once more. I grab the phone.
To hear a voice say. We made it mom and we are alright.
Love you and goodnight.
I start to think this was a call that was of joy but of those that are not.
Should I have answered it before.

The Angel Parade

The Angel Parade.
They come to heaven all dress in white.
One by one at the gates they come.
No flags they fly. no guns they shoot.
No crowds to watch or hear them shout.
no floats to ride with such pride.
No one rides for free there is always a price to be paid.
As the angels march today.
Two by two they fill they sky. Just as we shout why.
The gates they open as they go behind the gates.
All dressed in white, not red or blue. This is true.
No shoes on their feet so we can't hear them march.
In the Angel parade.

Another Day

One Mothers day without you brings a tear.
Two long years , Mother dear, That we don't have you here.
Now that it is three years that pass .The tears will always last.
It's just another day we all do say, mother dear.
We cry these tears for it is another day without you near.
You left so fast that we couldn't have one last laugh.
So today is just another day.

The Rabbit dance
I look out my window
There it is a snow white rabbit.
He runs to the left then to the right.
There are two..
They run to the right and back to the left.
Then there is three around they go two time then they stop
Then there is four.
  To the right than to the left around they go and then they stop.
This is the rabbit dance. It can be fun.
Watching those rabbits makes you want rabbit stew.

THE HOLLOW
In the hollow down below.
Do sees trees with shadows of leaves.
There next to the woods I see a deer.
Standing there ready to run. If a hunter was near.
Not far, away there is a barn the red has faded all but away.
The grass has turned to brown.No rain for days.
The creek will have a dry bed.
I must go to play in that sleepy hollow where I stay.

The Christmas Wish List
Harold r Hunt Sr Nov 2014
The Christmas wish list.
In school, the other day.
We had to make a Christmas wish list for Santa
I wished for a doll for my sister
I wished for a rattle for my baby brother
I wished for a better job for my daddy.
I wished for my mom to stop her crying
I wished that all the soldiers would come home.
I wished for the country to be safe for us.
I wished for the president to love our country and not to rip it apart.
So this is my wish list I gave to my teacher.
And with a tear in her eyes she asked me what I wanted Santa to bring me.
I said with a smile on my face I just want him to answer my wish for all.

The great New Years Party.
The Potato  chip are on the table
. The dip in the refuge. The beer in the cooler.
The guess will be there soon.
Football on the TV downstairs.
Hot Music on up stairs.
Everything is set. Until then.
The power gets knocked out.
Someone Hit a police car coming out of the driveway.
Ice is now water the beer is warm guests are coming
But just have to set in the dark. The grill out back is just a brazen
No football, we all get arrested for getting the dog drunk.
What a New Years party?
We will just have to start one next year a week before.

New Year for the old
Here we are once more a new year and a day older.
The party was to begin, but mom fell into the bathtub of gin.
Can't pull her out or her nickers might fall.
And there will be no gin.
The table is set for a feast, but the guest are not coming there if a football game on.
So here we set old as we were yesterday
A New Year and nowhere to go
The ball drops and they do dance.
Shouting Happy News Years to all.
But it's just another year to get older
So I go to bed and hope that the year goes fast
I am just to old for this new stuff.

Angels in the snow
The children are out and about.
The snow has fallen so on the ground.
They start to make angels in the snow.
Some big some small next to each other.
They look as if they are holding hands.
Along train of angles they make
As the school ground white turns
To angel white. Angels are made by angels
Made on this day.
Only if we could bring peace on earth for them.
Harold r Hunt Sr Jan 2016
They Are coming for our guns.
They are there for our guns.
Should we give them to those that seek.
Should we keep them to show our might.
One shot could provoke a war.
One shot could save our lives
They want our freedom
We say no god saves us.
Should we stand our grounds or should we give them to a traitor
They say it will stop gun crime. We say a bullet will do that.They are there for our guns.
Should we hand them to them or give them a bullet first.
Let's keep our rights.

I want to know if you took him there to be with you in your army of angels.
I want to know if he is a hero there? Like he is here in the U.S.A.
If he is lets him stand among the best you have. For he is my hero also.
                            Love you Lord ,

Drivers lessons

Drivers lessons  
My wife wanted to learn to drive.  
I found myself in fear not for my life but for my insurance rates.
My heart beat fast and all I could see was those pearly gates.
She climbs in and said let's go.
First she put the key in to start and turn it on (and grind the starter which will be other bills).
I told her to put in reverse that is what r stands for not race.
We back out of the spot nice and easy.
Then I tell her right turn so she turns left.
We go a few feet which is a feat. Then left I tell her she turns right.
i then tell her the other right , she almost hits a car that's parked.
All of sudden I see these lights a cop behind us ,great what next.
He gave us a ticket  which was no surprise.  
We haven't left the parking lot.
She failed the lesson with a fling.I'm just glad she doesn't want to fly!!

Playing the music of the great for all to hear.
Good old Hank will sing your cheating heart he is so lonesome he could cry.
Patty Page she will take the stage with a song only she could sing.
While Bill Monroe gets ready to play with Conway and the boys.
They sing with joy and welcomes the newest
As little Jimmie Dickens belts out a song .
There is no rest for the best.
As somewhere tonight they all will sing.

I'm not coming back. The visit was not all that great.
The heat made my feet stink.

There is a flower that is growing
It has no stem but will grow big.

No petals to hole the beauty in
Nevertheless, is the prettiest you ever seen.

However, the flower is always there.
You tell the flower that it is pretty
But you really are saying, daughter,I love you.
Because you're my sweet flower and no one has one like you.

But he is the funniest when he says get me the hell out of here.
Woody is his name and he'll tell you he's a good boy.
He flies through the house without a care landing on your head to let you know he cares.

She looked at my teeth and she had to pull three
I said **** that tree.
She put me to sleep with a mouth full of cotton.
I didn't know my teeth were that rotten.
When I woke there she stood with a smile and all her teeth.
She looked down at me and she said I had to pull more than one.
I looked in the mirror and i did see what a surprise
I Had none!
She took them all and told me to wait in the hall.
I stood there not to thrilled when the nurse handed me the bill.
$2000.00 then i had none!!!!
