POEMS

Hats

© Glori O’Brien

If perhaps I had 1000 hats, which one would I wear?
if every hat that I chose was a hat without a care?
A hat to stay a little longer, to take my time to see.
In every life, is their sorrow?A lonely life too free?

Or perhaps a hat or two to answer all my prayers
To take the time to drop a line.To tender other’s cares.
When skies are grey on a summers day and rain falls in a field.
That love that someone has to give, unashamed is now revealed.

A hat to wander lonely roads that lead to nowhere fast
A friendship forever will exist and shall for river last.
A hat for far horizons far beyond our everreach
Will we not see those around us?A friendship will webreach?

For the hat of choice is just one voice that only one can give.
A happy face will take the place and choose the way we live.
For some that give no notice, ignored by those in need.
Our self-esteem, our ego only shows our greed.
