Red Hat
Blessings From God
This red hat is my favorite.
Wow this hat is hot!
It's full of fun and spark.
It makes me feel alive and excited.
It's the top of the line in my lot.
It brings extra joy to my heart.
Some of my others come pretty close.
This hat sure is an attention getter.
People seem to like it the most.
I see it always
spreads some smiles and nods.
It's so fabulous!
At most affairs people think I'm the host.
It's big, it's wide,
yet not too tall.
Wearing it,
I dare not sit up against a wall.
At gatherings I always make sure
my hats are a respectable size,
so those that may be sitting behind me
will not have an obstructed view,
of a pulpit or podium.
All eyes won't be on me,
but all eyes on the blessings
of the Lord you see.

I Love Me
My red hat
has seen the president,
at a white house affair.
My red hat
has held the hands
of a patients who now
believe and care.
My red hat
has cheered on
many youths,
at a multitudinous
of sports games.
My red hat
has honored
college graduates
dignitaries, and others
who now know
why they came.
My red hat
has uplifted up
so many,
said goodbye
to only a few.
My red hat
I'll keep wearing
because
I love me.
My red hat
I'll keep wearing
because
I love you.

Red Hat
I always loved to see you
in your hat
on early Sunday morn,
dressed to please the Lord and you.
Ever since I could remember and
when all the other kids were born,
you'd take us with you
to Sunday school, bible class,
prayer meetings, revivals...
We'd stay all day on Sunday's
eat dinner after church,
fellowship with the other members,
praise dancing,
singing, reading, rapping,
picnics, bar-b-ques, trips, parties,
running around outside,
telling jokes,
having fun,
all in the name of the Lord.
Boy, those were some of the best
times in my young life.
I'd always think to myself,
when I grow up,
just like my mother,
I'll wear a red hat too.

Show It
Don't tell me to stop
wearing my red hats!
Don't tell me I appear
to be hiding from some facts.
Don't tell me to strip
myself bare.
Like all the addictions
you indulge in are nowhere.
Let the world see me clean.
I have nothing to hide.
I have no more than
the many tribulations
so many others stride.
Everyday
I'm just beaming inside
and it must be shown.
I'll show it quietly,
quickly,
spectacularly
in my red hat
to worlds unknown.

Never Say Goodbye
Red is the color of love.
Red is the color of life.
Red is the color of freedom.
Red is the color of happiness.
Red is the color of joy.
Red is the crayola
you first give
to every little girl and boy.
Red is my kiss
that lingers long.
Red is the melody
of my never ending song.
Red is the balloon
you send to the sky.
Red is my hat
never to say goodbye.

Marvelous. The hats I swear out are cowboy hats which get a good look in the city. My wife tolerates them and my boots.
I always like our dandies dressed up with a red hat.
But to me these poems seemed more about letting our light shine on others so that they too can be lifted up out of the doldrums. Thank you much for this fine piece.
