"Who" Dennis Siluk's First Poem

Who made the earth: who made the sky, who made the clouds, burst inside?

Who made the moon and stars that glow Hes my Lord my love, in my soul.

He gave man light to live and see; He gave man dark for a silent sleep.

He gave us feelings and choices to use, and we can plan them as we choose;

But most of all He gave simple laws, such simple things with great causes!

For when the day comes and it will sure be: when flesh and bone meet gravestone

Our heart and soul will be judged as one!

Note by the Author: Here is the first poem I wrote, to my knowledge, dating to 1959. I discovered it after my mother had passed on, in 2003; I had reviewed it I see my notes on it in 1980, so I had not seen since 1980 to 2003, some 23-years. My mother always read my Poetry when it w as simple and plan, and to the point, when I was young. I was back in 1959, eleven (11) years old, perhaps closer to twelve at this time. In this poem, it expresses I do believe my faith in God, Jesus Christ. It was written while I was living on Cayuga Street; I was I do believe sitting on some stairs leading up to our attic where me and my brother slept; we live in an extended family, with my mother and Grandfather. Perhaps it was my escape from the tough neighborhood I was living in. In 1958, we had moved from 109 East Arch Street, to this new neighborhood, at 186 Cayuga Street, St. Paul, Minnesota. My brother was perhaps fourteen at the time, or going on that age I suppose. So for the first time ever published, here is my first poem, out of 1400.
