A POET'S DREAM

I Want To Help
Feed Heart and Soul
For what I don't have
I hope
I Can Give what I do

A POET'S DREAM
To lets You Feel
Heart and Soul
Making You Feel
Life is Swell

Even
if it is Hard Too Tell

Letting You Reach
Beyond Yourself
Finding 
There is More To See

Letting 
You Know
The Pain You Bear
Is Carried by You

Unless
You want to
Share IT with God
Carry Him with Love

Letting
You Know
There is Soul in You
Needing 
To Find its Heart

To Awaken
All that is Asleep
With All
You Brought to Bear

To Face
All Things
To Look Within
Sharing  with God

Letting
You Know
When Both are Fed
When
Heart Has Come
To Soul

Drank
the Tears of Life
The Waters
Of My Soul

That Fills
My Heart with God.

A Poeatreeman

I Cannot Feed
Your Heart and Soul
Unless
You Take My Words
in Heart.

A Little Tear
Will Make it Go Down
I Hope
it is Not Hard to Swallow.

Currently Reading God's Most Precious Jewels Are Crystallized Tears By Barbara Johnson see related

THE JEWELS OF NATURE
HER TREASURED TEARS.
TO FEED THE LAND
THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.
GIVING US BLESSINGS
EACH DAY SHE IS HERE.

THE JEWEL OF A TEAR

No Diamond
Can cut it.

Nor Shine
against
Its Brilliance.

Nor Polish it
To reflect
Its Beauty.

Only a Heart
Can hold
This Jewel.

Only Care,
Can keep it
From Decay..

It is more
Precious,
Than Gold

Purer than,
The purest Jewels.

One Tear Drop
is worth,
A million Hearts.

Cannot be bought
or measured..

One Drop
Can Hold
A Lifetime of wealth.

For when it Falls
It Shows it all
It's Clear to see
and reflects
Its Heart.

Its Facet
is more Brilliant
Than Diamonds..

The Heart
will Crack it open
To show all its jewels..

A THOUGHT!

One Chest
To hold
A wealth of Life
A Tear in a Heart.

One Chest
To hold
A Heart for Life
A Tear
That carried
Care to Love.

One Chest
To Treasure all your Life
A Tear,
I gave to God..

Dedicated To
My Sister Rose Arnita

A Poeatreeman

If I have one
Jewel in Life
Let it be my Tear.

If I have one
Jewel to give
Let it be I Cared.

If I have one Tear
Let me give it
To the World..

A TEAR SHATTERED

A TEAR LOVE HOLDS
WILL SHINE
ITS BRILLIANCE.

A TEAR GOD HOLDS
WILL KNOW
THE JOY OF HEAVEN.

Currently Reading Believing and Living: A Text for the Wjec Short Course (WJEC GCSE Short Course) By Gavin Craigen, Joy White see related

HUMANITIES A COURSE FOR LIFE

I have
a course in life

I
am trying
to be human

With
all the others
in this world

I
am trying
to be
the best I can

My grades
will be
each day
I am here

I
am
not better
just trying
to be good

I
am
not
in any class
for I see
only one world

Grant
you there
are poor and rich

Better
off does not
make you better

There
are some
who find
greatness
being poor

There
are others
who are rich

Find
they are
burdened
by it all

I
am best
when
I am human

I
am even
better
when
I help
my fellow man

If
I was born
with a silver spoon

It
does not
mean
my plate is full

If
I was not!

Does
not mean
I have
an empty one

For heart
and spirit
need both be full

If
I am poor
if I am rich

It matters
only
if I lose
my soul

For
in the end
it will not
be money
That
will bring
you to heaven

But
a heart of gold

Love
knows no rich or poor

It touches
all who seek it

Only man
puts it in a class

Poor little boy!

A THOUGHT!

If my spirit is rich
I have no need for gold
If my pockets are full
my heart is empty
What is my soul?

DEDICATED TO HUMANITY

A Poeatreeman

The measure of a man
Is not
If his pockets are filled
But his heart
Has riches beyond gold
For what if a man
Has no heart
Where
Could he place
His greatest treasure?
He cannot
For he does not hold it .

Currently Reading Running Scared: Fear, Worry & the God of Rest By Edward T. Welch see related

WORRY

One creates
what is not there

By worrying
what will happen

One sees it all
for they
made it happen

I brought
it home with me

I gave it birth, 
named it worry

How
am I to face him now

I can't find him
a thing to wear

What
will worrying do now?

Can't
fit him into life

If
I have to worry
about the wear

Can't
change what is not there.

A THOUGHT!

I changed a diaper
because it was there

I changed nothing
each time I worried

I changed worrying

When
I let wisdom
show me how.

Written For Ronald

A Poeatreeman

When
I know all I can't

I'll
know what I can

When I know

I'll
know all I can't

When
I have wisdom

it will not
change a thing

For
all is what it should be

I will learn to change.

THE WELL OF LIFE

How Deep
Life Takes me in

When I Search,
For What is Within

Each Day
Takes me
Deeper in

I Find

I Have
Only Scratched
The Surface

Where
Do I Begin,

To Find
The Center
That Lies Within?

How Deep
my Thoughts,

When
I Think of How
Far I Need To go

The Depths
of Knowledge,

Will
Take me Where?

Into Wisdom
To Search
Life's Meanings

How Far
Will I go,

To The Depth
of my Soul

To Reach
For Meaning?

Will my
Conscience Awaken,

To See
Life's Wrongs

Or Lie
Dormant
not To be
Awakened?

Then How Deep
is my Life's Meaning

If it is Shallow
Having Little Depth

To Reflect
Its Meaning?


A Poeatreeman

A Tear Falls
and Reflects
its Meaning

Shall I not Follow,
and Let it Reach
my Soul?

Then
I Would Give
Meaning
To my Soul

For Life
Without Depth

Will Surface
Above The Depths

Showing
Nothing

For I Never
Searched
Life's Quest

Reflecting
Nothing

A Puddle
To my Soul,
Shallow and Empty

How Clear
it is
To See its Soul.

Some People
Lie on The Surface

Some
People Dig in

Others

To Find
Their Soul Within.

Currently Reading Criteria for consciousness in humans and other mammals [An article from: Consciousness and Cognition] By A.K. Seth, B.J. Baars, D.B. Edelman see related

CRITERIA FOR HUMANS

He is human not
always humane

He has feelings
not always there

He is as ice
when hurt
comes out

He
does not
always share

Or even
show he cares

He is a dreamer

For dreams
are his way
through life

He
has fought himself

Battled
against the odds

His companion
is ignorance

Hate
and disease

His opponent
is himself

His strength
is what stands him up

His weakness
tears him down

His wisdom
is but a question

His spirit
can hold the Heavens

His Fate
man awaits to what?

All  he has left unsaid

All he let pass by

All the end
is only beginning

For start did not start

When man had begun

It started
with the fall of man

The first to fall
was love

Hate
stood up had its say

Care went
the way of indifference

There is no love
to hold me in

Sorrow said
I am here to stay

Tears said
I'll come your way

Care's not there
to pick me up

Lonely said
I am empty with hurt

I wish
I could feel the ache

You have to
have heart to feel it all

Why would they
want to lose it all?

I'll ask them
when they take me in

God is this
what it is to be human?

You made me.

love was then

Where is it now ?

When I need faith
to take hold?

Where is your belief
I did not let go.

A Poeatreeman

Oh ye of little faith
Where is thy heart

IS NOT LOVE?

Is not love
a child?
It toys
with my heart

Is not love
a puppy?
It plays
around inside

Is not love
a child?
It is
as innocent
as a doe

Is not love
happy?
Its smile
goes through
your heart

Is not love
caring
When
no one
else does?

Is not love
sharing
When
you feel it
all inside?

Is not love
pouring
When
it washes
through
your heart?

Is not love
grand
When
it takes you
to the stars?

Is not love
beautiful
When
I feel
the smile
from God?

Is not love
loving
When
it takes me
to its heart?

A THOUGHT!

If there
is no one there
to hold you
Just reach
for God instead

If there
is no one there
to care for you
Care
for God instead

If there
is no one there
to take your heart
Give it to all
who don't have love.

Dedicated to Leo
One love sick puppy
