"Father"
by Teebra Woods
As with every storm of might
after the calm there is right
many times I would not hear
my own journeys I steer
many words spoken
at times hearts broken
but as eyes open and see
your words were always to help me
I think of past travels,
strings of memories unravel
realizing time is short
one day the great ship, comes home to port
before we reach land, there is much to say
I am trying to say them, a little each day
then I will listen, with a open ear
pleased to be seated so near
as the Captain speaks, in a voice so loud
despite my past, know I am proud
remember the many victories you earned and won
Father I am proud to be your son
“On With the Show” by Teebra Woods
I dream the song I wish to write
Though I cannot say it
I know the words I want to sing
Yet I cannot speak them
Such is the path I cannot see
Such is the path you show me
Such is what I do for honor’s sake
You have chosen your part in this play
And accordingly I pick mine
Now I must admit
The song of the lead roll is deep in my heart
Least the show must go on
"Love At the Dairy Mart" by Teebra Woods.
We met at the corner liquor store
She was buying cigarettes
I was buying a fifth of whiskey
She noticed my car
We drive the same kind of car
She said in a sweet softened voice
Yes we do
I replied
Do you like poetry
She asked
Indeed not only do I appreciate such art
I compose
Then I asked her
If she felt that romance was rare these days
Indeed she replied
The next thing I knew I was cooking dinner for her
She was impressed with my culinary skills
We opened a bottle of red wine and fell in love
"Garden"
by Teebra Woods
There
is a land not for from here
where
the unicorn dance and the flowers cheer
a
place of beauty and the gentle breeze offers a smile
the
kind of spot to take your shoes off to sit and listen for a while
there
is a spring where the sweetest water flows
spectacular
shades of every colored rose
the
kind of place where you feel
younger
like
when the world of much simpler
I
know this place well
maybe
someday I will take you there
