Poetry Corner: James Garrett “You Were There”

February 23, 2018 by James M. Garrett Leave a Comment

I awoke in the morning and you were there, With sleep-filled eyes and tousled hair. At work all day the job I share, Goes easily by because you are there. To hurry home to be with you, With a smile of love shining through. The two best loves in the world to share. When our […]

Poetry Corner: James Garrett “Bus Ride Meeting”

February 16, 2018 by James M. Garrett Leave a Comment

Bus traveling down the road. Filled are the seats with a varied load. Moving home at the evening rush hour. Faces relaxed, happy, or dour. Two women talked of the day. Lost in the words that each would say. Behind them a rider known by one in the past, Parted by space and times growing […]

Poetry Corner: James Garrett “My Everything”

February 9, 2018 by James M. Garrett Leave a Comment

From within a glow, Only we two know. The depth of warmth, Which held hands show. Dancing through life with me, My “Belle of the Ball”, And there to catch me, When, at times, I fall. My everything, So simple, some would say. Truth is truth, Night gives to day. She chose me, And lucky […]

Poetry Corner: James Garrett “Right or Wrong”

February 2, 2018 by James M. Garrett Leave a Comment

To be right or wrong, Who is to know? We inside only, As on we go. To be judged by all, Or just by one. For all the good, Or bad, that’s done. True to yourself, All life long. For who is to say, What’s right, what’s wrong? James Garrett is a lifelong resident of […]

Poetry Corner: James Garrett “Until I Saw You Again”

January 26, 2018 by James M. Garrett Leave a Comment

As the sun rose over the hills, I saw you standing there. A glow came from within you, A warmth shone in your hair. I had wondered if you cared, Wondered if you knew. Wondered if you felt, What I felt for you. The trip was long, The wait longer still. The ache of loneliness, […]
