Poetry by Paul McCarron

During our Earth Hour celebrations yesterday, we invited people to bring along poems and jokes. As a budding poet, Paul McCarron brought along several poems; a couple he has kindly allowed us to share with you here.

Illusion
by Paul McCarron

All that glitters is not always gold
All you hear is not always what it seems
All you see is not always what it appears
White is not always pure as it fades to black
In the hall of mirrors images are forever changing
In the cold dark night the shapes abound
In the cavern deep the sounds rebound
What you see is not me but only Illusion

An Ordinary Man
by Paul McCarron

If I had the courage of the boy David
then what I feel I could say
but I am only an ordinary man

If I had the wisdom of King Solomon
I would solve all your worries in a day
but I am only an ordinary man

If I had the strength of Samson
no harm would ever come your way
but I am only an ordinary man

If I had the patience of Jobe
I would wait forever and a day
but I am only an ordinary man

Wealth and splendour I cannot give
for I am only an ordinary man

But there is one thing I can willingly give
the Love of an ordinary man
