Even more poems by Sheryl Tucker


 


 


 

         On a huge mountain
          All covered with snow
          Is a great castle
          Of which I know
 

            It's turrets are high
            It?s moat is quite long
            It?s rooms are like something
            I heard in a song
 

            From it?s great big windows
            Looking out on the land
            I see a small ocean
            Surrounded by sand
 

            And down in the valley
            The unicorns play
            They gallop around
            In the sun all day
 

           And one of these days
            I will live that place
           Where the sun that shines
            Is as bright as my face
 


 


 
 
 
 

       One day I found a stone
        Lying on a path
        It glistened in the sun
        So I brought it home
 

         Book I read about the stone
         Like the powers it has
         A description of the stone
         And how it came to be
 

         It was very pretty
        And I had learned allot
        But I put it back on the path
        For someone else to find
 

         Now that I?m older
          I bought a stone myself
          To keep it's wisdom close to me
          So I can teach the wisdom to you
 


 
 
 

           I see that you
           Are in great pain
           And though I don't
           Know you I feel the same
 

            For the world  is one
            Big family
             So we will help you
             In your need
 

            We are here to help
             You stand again
             We will help you
             Till the very end
 

             So take the steps
            You need to take
             To start over again
             And recreate.


 

        The poem above I sent to Colimbine high
                                   school after the shootings. May
                                   they rest in peace.

              I have a cross
              It belongs to me
              And on my neck
              It will always be
 

             There are fourteen stones
             Supposed to be there
             There are four left
             But I don't care
 

             For it's meaning is deeper
             Then anything I know
             It's important to me
             And that I will show
 

             Some one I love
             Gave it too me
             And that's why it's
              Important to me
 

             I know He loves me
             I know he cares
            And that's why my cross
           Will always sit there
 


 


 
 
 

             I am walking by a river
             The wind is in the trees
              I see a Native man sitting
             Near the edge of the river
 

             He calls for me to come
             So he can teach me his ways
             I walk up to him and sit
             And there I listen to his words
 

             He tells me about his home land
             About the birds in the trees
             The great wise animals
             And that they are his family
 

            He teaches me to respect the world
            And to love everyone
            And to take care of mother earth
            Cause she's the only one
 

            He brings me up a mountain
            From where I can see everything
            And shows me just how much
            We've hurt our mother planet
 

            A tear streams down his cheek
            A tear streams down mine
            To see all the destruction
            It's hard not to cry
 

             Then he turns into an eagle
             And flies into the sky
             Leaving me with a great wisdom
             Which is really hard to find


 
 
 
 

             Brothers and sisters My kin and my kind
             Help me through my hard times
             Guard me in my times of need
             Help me to  become free.

             Brothers and sister
             You paw at my mind
             You teach me your wisdom
              I teach you mine

              Brother and sisters I need you comfort
              I want your protection
              I ask so kind and so well
              It is at this time I need you help
              So as I close my eyes to sleep
               I ask  my soul you guard and keep.
