From your mouth to Great Spirit
BEAUTIFUL Quote:
|
This is one I posted in 9 words a few months back Thought I'd repost it here, too absolute present accounted front page news deliberate choices today CHOICES We all have choices to make One wrong move and you break Present and accounted for Absolute pressure is in store What you know isn't always true Yesterday love, today you're through Not all news is good Miscommunication deliberate, misunderstood Another page in this life Filled with sadness and with strife Smiling up front, dying inside No more trying to confide Day to day living with hope Finding it hard at times to cope Never let it take your pride In your heart it should reside Make the choice that's right for you Even if it means you're through |
All My Years
All these weathered tears From all my years Was worth the pain That they did rain Many lessons I learned Had some concerned Hard knocks I took While others just look Like being a true friend What kind of message did they send Alive and breathing I stand Once in a while a helping hand With one regret And nary a fret I embrace my tears From all my years |
Joyful Spring
Spring is blooming all around Birds chirping, hear their sound Dark mornings becoming light Temperatures rising, sheer delight Tilling soil and planting seeds Gardening starts, the pulling of weeds Lawns mowed, the smell of cut grass Backyard mechanics with cans of gas Outside chores once packed away Back again so we could play The wonderful smell of bar b que grills Indoor cats on window sills Small children building a fort Porch sitting becomes a sport Dogs barking near and far Night time falls, gaze at a star Anticipating what summer will bring As we wind down from a joyful spring |
This one is old, but holds a special place in my heart, so I thought I'd share it here.
Shadows Dancing Shadows dancing on the wall One short, the other tall Two lovers in candle light Their bodies seem to take flight Shadows dancing on the floor As they move towards the door Against the wall, a soft embrace Two hearts begin to race Shadows dancing everywhere As the two begin that stare Suddenly four lips do meet Both of them can feel the heat Shadows dancing on the bed No words are ever said Enjoying each others view Sweetest night they ever knew |
More old to share I never did put a title to this one Build me up, don't let me down Make me smile, don't let me frown Show me strength, when I am weak Hold me tight, when things look bleak Stay with me, let time stand still Laugh with me, give me a thrill Dance with me, I'll lead the way Walk with me, when skies are gray Look to me, to see you through Talk to me, when you feel blue Run to me, when things go wrong Come to me, where you belong |
Remembering the days when writing flowed easily Beautiful Lady Her beauty shines through In everything she can do A forgiving, trusting soul Only wanting to be whole She had given her all Only to take a fall Hurting deep inside Losing all her pride Wanting back what she had This woman that made her sad Then came the day That woman came her way Telling of her pain With nothing left to gain Beautiful lady reaching out It's what she's all about Holding her while she cries Listening to her sighs Beautiful lady stays all night Understands her inward fight Never once does she go away She decides, with this woman she will stay |
Last one I'll share today
Beyond Tomorrow Look beyond the moon and sun After all is said and done Hearts together that beat apart That's a good place to start Knowing each other much to well Many stories still to tell Getting deep inside the soul Being together complete and whole Wanting all that you can give Waiting anxiously to begin to live Wondering what lies ahead Like an open book that's never read All your wishes will come true All your hopes to never be blue Everything you want comes your way Open your eyes to a brighter day |
This is a poem I wrote years ago, just after my mom passed away.
I'd like to share it with all of you today A Mothers Love Mothers are a special breed They fill a childs every need Leading the way with tender loving care A gift that only mothers can share Crying with a scraped up knee Child comes running with a plea Fix it mom so I can play With my friends I want to stay Teenage years filled with growing pain A mother that's almost going insane Asking mom, can I borrow the car I promise mom, I won't go far Off to college to get a degree A mothers tears is what I see Sad to see the child go away Happy to know she led the way |
Making Changes A heart cannot be played like a toy It brings happiness and so much joy A broken heart brings nothing but pain A heavy load with emotional strain We all have problems we choose to carry We try our best and can't seem to bury The memories haunt us every waking day We try to let go and they want to stay Making changes must come from within Reach down deep and you could win All the riches that lie so near Someone to take away all your fear Loving again is not easy to do Trust your heart to see you through Believe in yourself to get it right Soon you'll revel in sheer delight |
The Almighty I walk with Him everyday I listen to what He has to say He leads me where I need to go He has always been there to help me grow He brings me wisdom when I am weak He brings me happiness when things look bleak He helps me make it through the night He makes all my mornings very bright He showed me how to love when I couldn't He made me stop to think when I wouldn't I am His to take whenever need be I will follow Him and be set free |
As I eat some of the wrods in my OP, I realized sharing the old is as good as sharing the new.
I find rereading and posting some of my old poetry has been very therapeutic for me. Makes me remember who I was and who I can continue to be. |
Last night when I left the computer, I had a strange feeling about a friend. The more I thought about it, the more I thought I should grab my pad and pen......so, I did.
This was the results of my thoughts in verse Friend All the pain you hold From stories never told The tears you've never shed Scared your face may be read The lonely restless nights From all your inward fights Reaching out to no one Burning from that hot sun Melting slowly in the sand If you'll only grab that hand Trust you have a true friend With always an ear to lend Someone else to hold your pain And the tears that you refrain To ease your beautiful soul While you grow back into whole |
Walk On
When I walk through that door And not a day before Do not cry for me As I am finally free There will be no more pain And no longer will I complain Life has been hard but good Sometimes a bit misunderstood Find the beauty in what was And push on because You have today Tomorrow find your way The strength I know you possess In all that you caress Be that driving force And steer your own course Make your future bright For I have taken flight Smiling from above While soaring like a dove |

You know Ms E, it's funny you posted to this particular poem. It's an old one and one that you've read before. This poem is what started our friendship online back in '05. I believe you said something similar back then. Thank you for being one of the very best online friends I've ever had. |
Quote:
I knew there was something particular about that writing.... and you're right, it spoke to me then too- you never have to thank me for something I give so willingly, it's always been my pleasure and an honor to be part of your world. I can't wait for Little Rock! |
No One No one hears me at all Battered broken as I fall Contemplating my next move Empty with nothing to prove No one to miss me when I go Dull dingy without a glow Thoughts inside don't go away Once was a time they didn't stay No one cares how I really feel Lost and alone I tried to heal Two steps forward one step back Feeling fragile I can crack No one sees my shattered look Hidden away in my little nook Outside appearance not always right The pain in me kept out of sight No one bothers when I cry Never to share the reason why Every day looks more bleak Not understanding the feeling of weak No one gets the real me Good bad or ugly to be set free How many times can one lose Before nothing is left of the fuse |
Hands Raised Hands raised to heaven I pray For the sick to heal and stay For the family broken in two Because they know not what else to do Hands raised to heaven I pray So throw away animals find a way Keep them alive with shelter and food Unknown to us some are feeding a brood Hands raised to heaven I pray For peace love and understanding each day Keeping faith and hope for all in need Teaching others how to follow my lead Hands raised to heaven I pray Freedom for all without death to pay For the child that needs a meal So they don't have to go out and steal Hands raised to heaven I pray For the voice I have and the things I say For my freedom of speech came at a cost I'll never forget all the lives that were lost |
Quote:
I'm a mother and I raised my sons - pretty much on my own. So when I see someone pay tribute to their mother - for all the things we do, our strength, our willingness to love our children in spite of their successes or mistakes in life, it brings a smile to my heart! My mother and I, for a longer period of time that I care to openly share about, once did not have a healthy relationship. But we are closer now, as time has moved on and she is a pillar of strength and hope to me. She's 70 now and might not be around for too much longer.... I do all I can to convey how much I love her and forgive her for her frailties (sp?) in life. Thanks for writing your poetry about her and leaving it here! |
