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
