Analysis of Caught between the middle



I fell to sleep this morning, yesterdy even last night.
Forgot about my problems the pain, of feeling bad.
Yes I know it will be alright.
Looking at these wonders,
of the love and this special delight.
A sight to see you with me,
on a warm summer night.
Could hear love ones talking,
crying and even laughter.
But I never could see, what's going on.
Everyone there was saying good-bye only to me.
As I rose to see who was standing calling my name.
For some odd reason I don't feel the same.
As the voice call out to me,
Saying keep looking forward neither side to side.
Give me your hand, come walk by my side.
Now it is time to see, as they lay my body down.
This earthly house of clay is being buried in the ground.

Avery Warner

I was born in Atlanta, Ga. June 09 1955, I attended English Ave. Elementary School up to the third grade, when I moved to live in Smyrna, Ga. and attended Rose Garden Hill Elementary School up until the 7th grade. But they closed the school in 1968. I then attended Nash Jr. High School, and I graduated from Campbell High School in summer of 1973. I attended Kennesaw Jr. College in the fall of 1973, I enter the U.S. Army in the summer of 1974. I retired from the Military with over thirty three years of Active and Reserves time. My poetry is about us a people, mothers who have gone through, it is about a relationship with God, it is about looking within and finding life. My poetry is only here to give us something to think about. Today, tomorrow, yesterday. more…
