Poetry By Julia Corry

I love poetry as a young child. I learned to love the messages that poetry contained. I loved the stories they wove, and often I felt like the creation of poetry was a gift given from above. It is art, and my music.

For my Grandchildren, here are two poems

The Swinging Bear

I’m a swinging bear, and I haven’t a care

and I am having the time of my life.

I get to go here, I get to go there,

and I always take my wife!

I’m a swinging bear, with tons of hair,

and I am ready for dancing tonight.

I step to the left, I step to the right,

and I step right out of sight.

I’m a swinging bear, I’m a swinging bear,

And I’m swinging my way in here.

Come along with me, the party is free

.And will have a great time tonight!

Little Boy

I’m a little boy and I sing sing sing

I’m a little boy and I swing swing swing

I’m a little boy and I sing sing sing,

yes, I sing sing sing

The following poem was written for a couple getting married, who had lost past loves and were starting a new relationship.

A new beginning

This man and woman have known love's

that lighted fires within their breasts;

the joys of children in their home,

the searing pain of their beloved one's death.

They have known the challenges of life on earth,

and garnered strength through faith in Christ,

our Lord, to carry on.

It seems that God has watched above;

Has seen their suffering; their lonely nights.

Now, he gives to each, the other to love,

For a comfort in their hour of need.

Yes, sweet love has kindled a glowing

flame within their hearts,

And new life breathes within their beings.

So let the wedding proceed.

Come, rejoice and join with us;

for these two were not meant to be apart!
