8 GROUNDCOVER NEWS POETRY For Ronnie, Robert and Old Joe Gone to Rest in Peace I write poems About great things. I write poems about wars and walls and towers, Starting and ending, rising and falling. I write poems about leaders, Some who are good people, And others who make themselves into volcanic moutains. I write poems about nations collapsing, And about hope of a better world dawning. But it is the poems I write about "small" people With large and loving spirits That are my heart-poems! Perhaps they are the poems I treasure most, Because I feel and believe That writing about such modest And often impoverished but ever noble souls, Is the closest I can come to describing reflections Of the likely struggling And gentle soul of God.
