Children should be seen, not heard
Who made up this rule?
If this is how you truly feel
Then you Sir, are a fool.
Many children go unheard
We look, but pass right by -
We’re much too busy with our own
To question them, but why?

You can’t look back at yesterday
It is no longer there -
And don’t look for tomorrow
You’ve not yet breathed that air
You’re left with just the here and now
This moment you are in
For soon, today will too be gone
And will not come again

Once there was a tiny frog,
Who jumped inside a hollow log -
That rested on a bed of clay,
Beside the river’s edge one day.
And playing with his frog friends there,
He turned to them and did declare -
“I’ll count to ten,” he said with glee,

There’s a hurricane a-brewin
The barometer is falling
And no one’s going to save you
When the angry winds come calling
You should have never cheated
No you never should have lied
Now soon you will be drowning
In the ever rising tide

Huddled in darkness, a woman with child
Praying tonight, her punishment is mild
Unable to meet his many demands
Her husband unleashes a storm with his hands.
Blow by blow, until he’s done
Nowhere left for her to run
Wishing she could escape... – by Leslie Kay Lanham | 91 Views added 3 months ago

Sweet old dog that I have found
By this tree where you are bound
Let me take a look around -
Your chains I will unwind.
Tell me, is it he or she?
What all have they done to thee?
No water or food I see -
Pray, when did you last dine?
Let... – by Leslie Kay Lanham | 123 Views added 1 year ago

I cannot see the sunshine
When my darkness settles in
This battle raging in my mind
Grows louder once again
I cry out for your help
Because you are my only friend
I need to find some peace now
So that healing can begin
I simply need you... – by Leslie Kay Lanham | 63 Views added 1 year ago

You’ll hear your loved ones voice one day
Echoing through the trees -
Then turn to look, but all you’ll find
Are autumn’s falling leaves.
You’ll swear you sense their presence near
One night in winter’s air -
Search high and low about the... – by Leslie Kay Lanham | 68 Views added 1 year ago

Who are you to judge me now
When you’ve made mistakes too?
And yet you want to crucify me
In the public’s view
I’ve never claimed perfection
As others have before -
But there you stand, casting stones
Knocking down my door
I’m through... – by Leslie Kay Lanham | 68 Views added 1 year ago

Today my son leaves for a place,
somewhere I cannot go.
A war torn land, far overseas,
for how long, I don’t know.
And though I’ve been his biggest fan,
throughout his life, it’s true -
I now must step aside, to let him
do what he must do.

Standing, watching Camelot burn,
a tragedy all around -
A broken king, his crumpled queen,
in pieces on the ground.
The world they knew stopped turning,
game-set-match, it’s done -
And truth be told, we never knew,
their ending had... – by Leslie Kay Lanham | 101 Views added 1 year ago
