Flower Of Spring
Connie Hopkins Apr 2021
Flower of Spring
What do you bring?
A gift of love
A ring of gold
Someone special for me to hold.

Rings Of Gold
Connie Hopkins Apr 2021
Rings of gold
I've been told
You hold the secrets
To love of old
All the softness
All the caress
Golden Circle of time
You have passed the test.

Thought
Connie Hopkins Apr 2021
Thought can be deep witty and wise
Sometimes thought will tell us lies
True or not, thought is there
Thought for some is often rare.

Thought
Connie Hopkins Apr 2021
Think what you want?
Not all the time
Thoughts seep through all cracks of the mind
Some you like, Some you hate
Don't you wish you could put thought on a plate
Use a fork and pick out what makes sense
Some you chase around like a pea, some you can stick
With a meal, you can finish but what about thought?

Line Of Life
Connie Hopkins Apr 2021
Sometimes long
Sometimes short
Does it have an end
Or do we just pretend
It has meaning
When all the time
It has just been ending.

My Brother, My Brother
Connie Hopkins Apr 2021
My brother, my brother, I love you I do
I think of you often so often it's true
My brother, my brother, your sister loves you
This poem is so silly but, it's so true.

Heaven Is Calling
Connie Hopkins Apr 2021
Far away night is falling
In the twilight, home is calling
From open door and window
They will greet me when I come
All the years have turned into hours
All my tears turned to way-side flowers.

Ocean Of Colors
Connie Hopkins Apr 2021
Ocean so deep with fish
Red, blue, and pink
In waters of Blue and Green
With several colors in between
Sand and shells and different
Swimming things with tails
Salt up your nose, Sun in your eyes
But still, you love it
With all its surprise
There is so much to do
And so much to see
In that big open ocean
We call the sea.

Proud Old Trees
Connie Hopkins Apr 2021
Two little boys walking around
Kicking the dirt upon the ground
Spanish moss hanging from the trees
So thick and long they can hardly see
Stretched before them as far as their eyes could see
Was this Spanish moss hanging down
Hanging down from those proud old trees.

This Favor I Ask
Connie Hopkins Apr 2021
There is a hurt so sharp and deep
It does not want to leave my heart
It happened so very long ago
but seems to hang around more these days
I try to forget and go on with my life
Yet each day seems harder and full of strife
What can I do to get rid of this hurt
Please help me Lord to take each day
And stay by my side to show me the way.
AMEN

So Blue
Connie Hopkins Apr 2021
The days are long and boring now
I want to do things but I don't know-how
I shouldn't feel this way it's wrong
But these feelings are lasting so very long
To make up my mind I need some help
Where do you look where is it at
I need some help this is true
I can't figure out why I am so blue
I feel so tired all the time
I wonder if my sun will ever shine.

Suicide Quilt
Connie Hopkins Apr 2021
I'm having problems I know they can see,
Oh yes there's the quilt, The Quilt of Guilt
It covers my mind just like a quilt
But it doesn't feel warm it's hard and cold
It made me feel so weary and old
Is there a future for someone like me
I hope I can stick it out and see.

Wee Little Tots
Connie Hopkins Apr 2021
Wee little tots
That are taken by the wind
For God has sent them
Only for lend
We don't understand
All the things he does
And should not question
Our Lord above.

The Sorrow I Bear
Connie Hopkins Apr 2021
I think I am cold
But really I am not
All this sorrow I bear
Oh when will it stop
I think of the one
I lost this is true
And really they are happier
Than you and me.

The Moment
Connie Hopkins Apr 2021
The moment has happened it gone from us now
but the memory and hurt linger somehow
We picture his image so clear in our mind
And there it will stay throughout all time.

My Mother
Connie Hopkins Apr 2021
My mother, my mother, she left my side
She is now with Jesus way up high
I'll miss her look, her love and embrace
All my fears away they would chase
It's hard I know to bear the pain
But, I have to go on we'll meet again
I'll try and be tough and hold up my chin
Because that's the way mother would have been.

Our Littlest Angel

Our littlest angel has flown like a dove
To live with Jesus forever above
And in our hearts, he will stay
Till on earth our last day.

Mockin Bird
Connie Hopkins Apr 2021
When your sitting in the evening
And you catch yourself a listening
To a Mocking bird singing his songs

You realize what you missing
Cause you hardly ever listen
To a Mocking bird singing his songs.

Little-Bitty Humming Bird
Connie Hopkins Apr 2021
Little-Bitty Humming bird flying all around
Drinking from the flowers that grow in leaps and bounds
Your small and cute, but like a bee
You move so fast I can't see
A boy or girl, I do not know
Your here, then there and away you go!

The Knot
Connie Hopkins Apr 2021
Now we've gone and done it
It's as permanent as can be
We went and tied that knot
I guess love's stuck with you and me.

Life
Connie Hopkins Apr 2021
Life drifts from day to day
At times it is bright
At times it is dark
Tomorrow we expect
But it may or may not come
This is life for some
Hanging by a thread
Oh, how you pray it is strong
For if not life is gone.

Tree Of Color
Connie Hopkins Apr 2021
Tree of color as if in bloom
You and I know its colors of doom
For when they are gone you are so bare
Your colors are gone, your limbs are there
Now on the ground your colors will lay
Until the winds of time blow them away

Flowers Of Spring
Connie Hopkins Apr 2021
Flowers of spring look what you bring
Your pedals so soft and colors so bright
They are small and tender
Yet look what they render
Some smell so sweet
You'll always remember
Some spread out like carpets on the ground
They might even climb on a limb
Some even sit high on their stem
With bright colored centers
Pointed straight toward the sky
What ever the color, smell or size
With God's love each spring they will rise
Some even close at night
Just to reopen, what a beautiful sight.

GOD'S WORD
Connie Hopkins Apr 2021
I keep time with the waves of the ocean
I transport you through space and time
I help you dodge the intrusions of life
I bring life back, even when you thought
it was gone
With speakers and woofers that pulse
with every beat of your heart
I bring back all the missing parts
Even the feelings you thought were gone
from your heart.

Hearts In A Bag

Daddy's Christmas Joy
Connie Hopkins Apr 2021
When your daddy was a little boy
He would get a shoe box
And then his big toy
In his shoe box there would be
An orange, apple and a banana or two
And lots of little stuff
Like this box holds for you.

I pray I am on the other side
Her habits from them I hide even as a child
The glass it cuts me
Still I am bleeding

On the other side

The cuts still hurt, no matter how old or new
How do you pick all the splinters out?
And if I could, were do I put them?

On the other side of Mother's mirror?

Oh they hurt so bad today and yesterday too
Lord  please help me forgive her
You are the only one who can.

On the other side

Those memories won't stay in the back of my mind
I can forgive, but how do I forget?
I pray one day before I die
I will forgive and forget her

Before I get to the other side

I look behind the mirror
What do I find, just hurt and blood
Yes, that's what I still find

On the other side

He's By My Side
Connie Hopkins Apr 2021
It's dark now
But there is a light
Not very bright
But there is a light
I am not scared
For I know you are there
Show me the way
And I cannot stray.

Passing Time
Connie Hopkins Apr 2021
He walks with a limp, and bares a frown
As clouded eyes scan the ground
His hat cocked sideways upon his crown
At his feet strides his old hound
Tattered clothes cover his limbs
Holding out the cold that sticks him like pins
Face of lines etched deep with age
He walks along as if in a daze
Shoes with soles worn so thin
Hoping the miles of life to win
He is lost in time dear to his heart
His mind struggling not to part
Silver hair that reflects the sun
Turned with times that can't be undone
He hopes again, but all in vain
For the summer sun to put out the pain.
