Three Inspiring Poems

By Novalynn Bodda

Eyes

Blue, green, brown, or hazel
It does not matter as long as we dazzle
We can be icy blue
Or brown as coffee brew
Green as the basil color in hazel eyes
We will always shine
Just like a rhinestone
No matter where we are we will never let you down
For we are what most people first see in you
We think eyes are the most dazzling thing about you
Believe it or not
We think all eyes are beautiful no matter what color they are
Or who they belong to

Family and Friends

Family and Friends
Are always there
True Friends will always forgive
Family will love you forever and always no matter what
Family and Friends
Will never let you down
They will never forget you if they are true
Family and Friends
Are there when you’re sad
When you’re happy
Glad
Mad
Angry
Depressed
But they will always care
No matter what they say
No matter if they go away
They will always care

The Shadow of Loneliness

There it is again
Am I dreaming?
Why do I keep seeing it?
I see that same shadow nearly every day
It never leaves
It won’t ever stop following me
The shadow of loneliness
Will never leave anyone alone
Not until they find someone
Someone to take away all this loneliness
But I don’t have anyone to talk to
Or to laugh with
So it will not leave until I do
The shadow of loneliness never forgets
It never forgets that it was once with you
And it will never forget me
The shadow of loneliness will come back one day
Not today
But someday it will
