Twice they cried
Harold r Hunt Sr Sep 2015
Twice they cried.
As they stood and said I do.
They cried together for the first time.
They cried in joy as they wed.
To be together as long as they live.
They cried for the second time.
I do know.
As they lay in bed
One ready to die,one ready to live.
They cried as one left this world.
Twice they cried but not sadden
For they know they will be together again.

MRS DAY"S FLOWERS
Harold r Hunt Sr Dec 2015
Mrs.Day Flowers
The table looked no better than when mrs day puts flowers on it.
Each flower shined in the sun light.
Red,blue white and, pink made the light glow.
Every day a bright look of flowers.
Now that Mrs Day has gone the table looks so dim.
No flowers there. Someone takes them to her grave>
Now they glow in the sun light just below her name.
Giving her a smile as each one glows.
Her angels wear a flower in their hair.
Setting the light so bright In her place in heaven.
Mrs Day's flowers are sure missed, but they grow with her love even up above.

the walking moon
Harold r Hunt Sr Aug 2014
The walking moon
Two lovers join hands in the early evening to go walking.
They walked a round the pond that was still.
You could look at the moon start to shine.
As the walk they kiss one time And looked to the sky
The moon was bright and cloud blew by
And it looked as if the moon had winked.
As they walked along they said to each other
This is our walking moon.

Who Are These Killers
Harold r Hunt Sr May 2014
Who Are these killers? They are, ***  that want to get their joy off by killing others. 1 second of fame can claim one life. Is it really worth the money time and greatness to give them their wishes? 1 sec one life 1 life is priceless when you can see that life grow. They say time will heal. But nothing can heal the feeling of hugs and kisses missing from the lost. You shall not forget the lost. But you also will never forget the horror of what causes a lost. We have sport stars. Movie actors,they should get the fame. Not the killers! 6 secs 6 lives may the heavens cry for what has happened here on earth. 6 young angels sending kisses to all of us from above.

What if I
What if I stood on my head like a clown?
What if I barked like a puppy dog?
What if I follow you home? >
What if I held my heart and just smiled at you?
What if I bought you a dozen roses?
What if I said, " I love you"?
What if I gave you a ring?
Would you say I love you too?

I Walk Not Alone
Harold r Hunt Sr May 2014
I walk  not alone
I walk not alone. But with many of my brothers and sisters. I watch them fall. Knowing I maybe next. I carry my head high knowing what I doing was making my nation proud.
I stand up for freedom in the world. So I can see little children grow. This land that I serve has been free for over 200 years. Many before me gave their life. Now it's mine to do the same. As the bombs drop, I see  out in the distance a flag. It has many stars and red and white stripes ripped but not fallen. I just think about only one thing this flag is mine and I helped keep it flying. So not only we serve a nation. We serve those that have died before us. So God blesses America And my brothers and sisters.

The Two of you
Harold r Hunt Sr Nov 2015
The two of you
It hard to say good to the two of you.
I think of each time I have a glass of milk.
Time we shared over each glass was a great time for me.
I'll miss you both as we part.
I'll only cry when the milk is gone.
So bye for now my two friends
Till the next time I have cookies.

Harold r Hunt Sr Jul 2014
It calls your name.
You are set by the widow still so quiet.
Listing to the wind blow as it hits the window.
You hear the sound so humble against the pane
As the wind calls your name.
As you sit on the pouch
The chimes do blow.
They play the music of your name
Recalls your name as it blows
Saying Some day you will hear
Good calls your name.

I can't sleep at night
Harold r Hunt Sr Jun 2014
I can't sleep at night.
I can't sleep at night and I don't know why.
Toss and turn the whole night but just can't sleep at night.
I close my eyes I don't know why.  I can't sleep at night.
Can't count sheep they make me want to eat.
But I can't sleep at night.
I close the blind to keep out the moon. Because I know, it's not noon.
I can't sleep at night. Do you know why?  
Could it be I didn't turn the lights out!

11 Days Before Christmas
Harold r Hunt Sr May 2014
Twas' 11 days before Christmas, around 9:38
when 20 beautiful children stormed through heaven's gate.
Their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air.
They could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there.
They were filled with such joy, they didn't know what to say.

They remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day.
"Where are we?" asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse.
"This is heaven." declared a small boy. "We're spending Christmas at God's house."
When what to their wondering eyes did appear,
but Jesus, their savior, the children gathered near.
He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same.
Then He opened His arms and He called them by name.
And in that moment was joy, that only heaven can bring,
those children all flew into the arms of their King.
And as they lingered in the warmth of His embrace,
one small girl turned and looked at Jesus' face.
And as if He could read all the questions she had
He gently whispered to her, "I'll take care of mom and dad."
Then He looked down on earth, the world far below.
He saw all of the hurt, the sorrow, and woe.
Then He closed His eyes and He outstretched His hand,
"let my power and presence re-enter this land!"
"May this country be delivered from the hands of fools."
"I'm taking back my nation. I'm taking back my schools!"
Then He and the children stood up without a sound.
"Come now my children, let me show you around."
Excitement filled the space, some skipped and some ran.
All displaying enthusiasm that only a small child can.
And I heard Him proclaim as He walked out of sight,
"in the midst of this darkness, I AM STILL THE LIGHT

Return Of Christmas Past
Harold r Hunt Sr Dec 2015
Return of Christmas past
I love Christmas as a holiday
I like the houses all in lights as they glow.
I like the white snow as it falls on the trees.
I like when people say "Merry Christmas" with a smile.
I like making cookies for old Santa
I love the thought of all the gifts that are under the tree.
I love the sound of people singing those old Christmas songs.
I love Christmas. When is it going to return from the past?

Walking the river.
Harold r Hunt Sr Aug 2014
Walking the river.
As I walk the river banks
The water seems to flow as if it was following me.
The trees with their branches sum the touch of water to drink.
The river is so quiet that it is nice to walk along just to think.
The birds are flying above the trees ready to take a fish they might see.
The sun it sets and the glare makes the water shine in different colors.
I enjoy a walk along the river and to see all that there.
Got a Honorable Mention Award.

The Doctor Visit
Harold r Hunt Sr May 2014
I went to the doctors today.
He came in to the room.
He asked do you smoke.
I said "Why now do you see any?"
He said,"do you drink", I said," Why do you need one?"
Then he said. "Strip off you close".
I said," I hope you 're not taking off yours"!
Then the doctor said. "Can I see your ears?"
I said,'i clean them everyday"
Then he says. "Broaden your mouth and stick out your tough,".
I said,"I only do that a to my wife"!
Then he says."Why are you here today?"
I said,"Why Don't you know you 're the doctor"!

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.

On the death of thee
Harold r Hunt Sr Sep 2015
On the death of thee
There's little joy in life for me,
And  little terror in the grave:
I've lived the parting hour to see
Of one I would have died to save.

Calmly to watch the failing breath,
Wishing each sigh might be the last;
Longing to see the shade of death
Over those beloved features cast;
The cloud, the stillness that must part
The darling of my life from me;
And then to thank God from my heart, to thank him well and fervently:
Although i knew that we had lost
The hope and glory of our life;
And now , benighted, tempest-tossed,
Must bear alone the weary strife

The rabbit foot
Harold r Hunt Sr Oct 2014
The rabbit foot
Walking through the woods one day I spied a thing on the ground.
It happens to be a rabbit's foot. At least I thought.
In my pocket, it did go. Then the trouble it began to flow.
I fell down in a hole and broke my elbow.
Then I ran up the steps and in to the door. A black eye did have for a week I think.
The to the bath tube I went. With a splash. I didn't have time to take my close off.
To bed, I went with a bang as the bed fell apart.
And now I think with a sad face because I found out it wasn't a rabbit foot at all.

Tears from above
The sky opens up
A ray of sunshine shines from the heaven above.
No rain round but a felt a drop from above.
God cries a drop of tears for the world today.
Wars here and there. People are dying for no reason at all.
Brothers fighting brothers once more .Blood on the hand of those that kills.
Causes God to cry the tears from above.
Heaven closes to stop the tears.
So the shine can shine another day without tears from above.

I live but never die
I am an American born free here.
I live here and I will not die here.
I am a solider now for my country.
I have fought in many wars.
Along side my brothers and sisters.
I fought for freedom for you and many more.
I live but I will not die.
I may get killed in battles not won.
But I will not die.
I will live forever in the minds of those that know me.
I will live on the lips of those that only know my name.
But I will not die for i'm a hero to all Americans
For I'm A solider forever known.

My deck
My deck is a nice place.
You can see for miles away.
The trees on the mountain tops.
Leaves that is starting to change.
To the right the city, I do see.
What a pity to the green trees.
Cars and trucks the sound do pound their ears away.
To the left the woods I see. A deer standing as still as could be.
As if he belongs there at the edge.
Over the rail in front is the pool for a place to get real cool.
My deck the place I want to be. How about you?

The bird
A little green bird flies to my window sill.
He sits so still that you think he is part of the window.
He watches the other birds fly by just moving very little.
He makes a sound as if to say I want to get out.
He then flies about with a cry so loud.
Then right back to the window sill.

I know your job and I know you work for a slob.

In to the night
In to the night he goes.
With no fear he shows.
In to the night he flies.
On the wings of an angel he will ride.
To see what maybe a downfall with no pride.
In to the night he goes.
To help those in need.
To answer their prayers
In the shadow of the night he goes.

Tears
Harold r Hunt Sr Sep 2014
Tears
For 13years the tears have fallen
They fall for heroes and they fall for love ones.
They crash into three parts of the country.
To remember a day that we now honor them.
A day of pain not of joy a day of lost not of find.
The country is flooded with not of water but of these tears.
Two building falls to the ground. One building left with a hole.
In a lonely field, it becomes not lonely no more.
We honor these people for their love.
We will never forget because that is our love for them.
So don't wipe the tears away because you'll wipe away memories.

Her brood gone from her,
And her thoughts as still
As the waters

They took our bow and arrows first.
They said to stop us from killing them.
They took the tee *** which we called home.
They said no more buffalo to make our close and have some food.
The history is there to see.
As they take our guns today.
No protection for you or me.
They will take our home as they do.No job for us because they have them all.
No food,no schools. They even want our God.
Banning the for loving our country and pray to who ever they tell.
Now Wake up America before we are all gone.

Fast as she could go she would run.
Under the door, she would go.
And there was the fourth.
And now there is no mouse to look for.

Taken you back in time.
I have taken you back in time to main street in U.S.A.
Back to a swing on a hill or the old house at one end of town.
While we swim in the old water tower. I have in mind the flag and how it flies.
Back in time to the cabin in the woods or to the playgrounds where children do in play.
To a soldier saying hi to a little boy. While he races his horse to the west.
You look into the clouds and you hear the music of heaven playing with the greatest.
Poetry brings you back in time as well as the present. It is in a good writer that he can put it in words.
So the next time you read a poem asks your self,have I been there or will I go there?
Just remembers the weekend thrill and how on Saturday you may write your poem.
Please read each poem that is in this poem.

No green or yellow or even red.
But just blue.

No it's not blue I can say.

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.

Could they be waiting for your call."Please take me to heaven I can't wait"

Look to the sky a smile will tell

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.

You left before I could say good bye.

But I cry these tears.
I miss our times together.
And the little things we did.
Now I just cry these tears for you.
It hurts that the time was short.
But a joy for what i had.
The tears are on my cheeks.
Are now watering the flowers I keep.
I cry these tears.
Heaven shall be happy for you
As you look down on us.
And tell me don't cry these tears.
