If this world had a happy gate
We'd all walk through and never hate
If this world never went to war
Peace would walk through every door
If this world should ever end
Forever love is what I'd send

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

[WolfyOne]

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

[WolfyOne]

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

[WolfyOne]

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

[WolfyOne]

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

[WolfyOne]

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

[WolfyOne]

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

[WolfyOne]

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

[WolfyOne]

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

[WolfyOne]

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

[WolfyOne]

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.

[WolfyOne]

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

[WolfyOne]

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.

aw..... thank you sweetie- that was such a lovely thing to say.
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

[WolfyOne]

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

Thanks for this poem Wolfy!

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!
