"Is There Someone For a Me?"

C.J. Ingerson
1/14/99

Verse 1
********

As I stand glancing at the crowd
wondering is my someone there
or am I too plain and to reserved
to be seen here against the wall?

Verse 2
********

Everyone seems to be looking
for the one who is good and true
but yet they are all dancing with
those who are flashy all through.

Verse 3
********

So now I wait patiently with hope
that there is someone who too
wants what is virtuous and true
not just the attracting of the new.

Verse 4
********

How are all these people looking
for the good ones to marry yet
prepare themselves being not pure
so later ready to marry they are not.

Verse 5
*******

It is interesting that I know I'll wait
for I know that I've to learn more
of my Heavenly Father's design
of me as a flower against this wall.

"What is Time?"

C.J. Ingerson
1/14/99

Verse
********

But not yet am I ready
for you to share my poem
it is not to be written until
I've found the time within.

Verse 2
********

I need to understand the peace
or to quiet the unrest found
just now in this time of mine
for until then private it must be.

Verse 3
********

It is okay answered the poet
for when the time is correct
as teardrops will the words
perfectly formed fall into place.

Verse 4
********

One beside the other in line
until the poem catches you
in between each separate
line and the poet in place.

Verse 5
********

You see time is a blessing
of the life we lead today
for the tomorrow of who
we will or want to become.

Verse 6
********

Thus in time will your poem
find its way to birth and life
but until then the blessing
is that it is private just now.

Verse 7
********

Time is a blessing of life
so often we forget to plan
that forever is really forever
and this is the blessing true.

Verse 8
********

Maybe tomorrow your poem
will find its life upon the paper
thus words will take with them
a little of you and the poet too.
