'Unlucky Leprechaun' - Poem - March 2002

Leprechauns are so lucky

To live in such a place

Where gold and rainbows flow

It’s such a happy place

When you don’t worry about the morrow

Or what it might bring

But there is one leprechaun

That will never sing

And feels he is just a disgrace

Other leprechauns see he is really unhappy

But he has a golden mace

He swings over his head

Then drops it to the ground

And falls like he is dead

But none have ever found

That he is not dead

But silently sobbing to himself

Because he is full of dread

That he will not have any wealth

Of any sort

No girlfriend, friends, or life

That’s not all the reason he’s crying

But when he looks about

He sees, well, beautiful girls

And realizes he has no chance

So he leaves Ireland

And goes into a kid

But it seems his luck has run out

Because he is in a kid who has the same problems

But this kid goes to the dances

And he just sits there and sulks

His name is Chad

The Unlucky Leprechaun

'Rachel...' - Poem - March 2002

From the way I act around her

You’d think I don’t know her

From the way I talk about her

You’d think I’d want to hurt her

But from the way I think about her

You’d know I want to be a friend to her

A history has happened between us

But I hope there is now end

I remember once upon a time

When she acted really kind

As we were just kids

I was alone in a box full of sand

Then she came and sat down beside me

And didn’t look up with a sign of doubt

We started talking

And pretty soon we were laughing

We talked and laughed some more

And a strange thing happened

It never became a bore

But what happened long ago,

It seems like a faraway dream

Did I let her go?

Or did she plan a scheme

Somehow we stopped talking

But so there is no doubt

I miss those days

When I was all alone in a box full of sand

'Hands' - Poem - April 2001

Your hands are so soft and fragile

So young and peaceful

You are oblivious to the world around you

You are curious about every thing in your life

Your hands are new and soft

So small and helpless

Weak and worthless for work

But you do work every day little cousin

And it's amazing you're still alive

'How and Why Cody?' - Poem - April 2001

How Cody

We may never know

Some people think it’s really funny

Some say its overdose, no!

But we know that’s not true

Because we know you weren’t that crazy

Cody we all loved you and still do

You looked to all like a daisy

So bright and colorful

Nice and cool

So really, really wonderful

I’m sorry Cody for being kind of cruel

We loved you Cody this is to you

We wanted to let you know

You rule.

'One Day.' - Poem - December 2001

One day, when I’m walking alone

GOD will take me up to his heavenly home

In a light oh so divine

That human eyes will have to turn and whine

He will look at me and say

“I’ve brought you here for only a moment so you will not stay

but I’ve been watching you quite awhile

and you haven’t laughed, giggled, or smiled

your thoughts are so depressing that my angels cry

sometimes they sit and wonder why

you think of death and when it will come

your so busy thinking about death you forget to have fun

you worry about your acne, fat, and tan on your appearance outside

but you often forget that I don’t care about that but what’s inside

you very often wonder about love and if you will have a girlfriend or wife

Quit worrying about life

Go back to earth and live your life to the fullest

Don’t tell others that you’ve seen heaven and how it’s the coolest”

So I go back to earth

And don’t wonder what its worth

 I found I’ve completed my mile 

and finished it with a smile.
