popped the birds swooped
and cried, “Knight beware ! “
Sir Handsome Knight sang
of his adventures with song.
He laughed at the birds.

Recognition
In this enchanted moment
You offer to me this part
Of you when in nuptial bliss
You took your first kiss
Your inner beauty shone
In rays about your face.
Still you give unconsciously
A gift time will never fade,
Lady your glow.
Neil Andrew Granger
Let it go,
Don’t hold the
Hurt any longer.
Release it and
Your heart will.
Grow stronger
If your mind wonders
Over the dry land of
Parched dreams, receive the
Rain that healing brings.
What is bottled up
Within you release;
Your true friends are
Waiting to bring succour
And relief as gifts of
Their love for you.
Neil Andrew Granger
Hope
The bleak night
Followed by the day.
Although you feel it
Helpless try to continue on.
Let hope stay by
Your side so close
It becomes the air
You breathe.
Do not become
Suffocated by despondency,
Grey skies will turn blue
The sun will follow the rain.
Neil Andrew Granger
Up
When I feel low
There is only way
To go and that is up.
Through dirt
And grime I climb
And find myself
On a mountain side,
Looking up.
That is how I wish
My life to be,
Always thinking up.
Neil Andrew Granger
Gracious Giver
Soul of generosity
Your spirit gives
From the wealth
Within your heart.
A storehouse full
Of finest motives
Priceless as the
Rare works of art.
From this well inside
Your being a spring
Overflows watering the
Tender plants that grow
Up beside you they know
Of your compassion
And the great giver also.
Neil Andrew Granger
Flower
A golden flower on a tree
A lamp of peace
And serenity, for a moment
I stand in awe while its
Perfect beauty teachers me.
I need not reach dazzling
Heights or touch the sky in
Starry flight. All there is for
Me to do is let my beauty
Reach from me to you.
Neil Andrew Granger
Firefly Dream
Oh! Little lights you fly by
Night hold me close and
Make it right. With your
Angel wings abuzz light my
Way through all this fuzz.
Oh, little fireflies of mystery
with winks and dashes of
integrity let my life with
mentors be always there to
inspire me. I in passion shall
live my life guided by Your
light.
Neil Andrew Granger
Beggings
Baby wrapped in
Swaddling clothes
Soft innocence
Embalmed in love.
We are the ones
Who brought
You here to this
Fallen paradise above.
Gradually you
Shall blossom
Into what you
May become.
As sure as rain
Falls to the earth
Opening up new
Fern fronds.
Thoughts of ecstasy
Our constant delight,
When you were first
Felt in our bodies
The wonderful night.
Our gift, given
To us from loves
Storehouse within;
You have given us
Yourself something
More beautiful than
Material things.
Neil Andrew Granger
Little Things
Just a heart beat away
Your hand touches mine.
In a crazy mixed up world
You make my eyes shine.
When you have been a heart
Beat away you have guided
Me through, Those times I
Am hurting just in the little
Things you do.
