Hamish Todd ---- two poems


A Wedding Prayer

This prayer is a river
It leads to the ocean
And has no end

This prayer is a river
It leads to the ocean
And has no end

Ask for nothing
A bird in flight
Is giving thanks

Love is a blessing
People dancing
Another chance

This prayer is a river
It leads to the ocean
And has no end

Ask for nothing
A bird in flight
Is giving thanks



The Sea Gulls of Alcatraz


The Sea Gulls of Alacatraz
Don't have any fond
or Bitter memories
They're glad to have a rock to stand on
To watch the city
Across the Bay

                        For my girl,
                        because every day's a gift
