    A MAZE


    Not all the times
    Do we know where we are at
    Or even where we are going.

    When we can we'll find a friend
    To take us through this Maze we're in
    A mass of twisted roads
    Winding tours, unknown ends.

    Searching how to find something
    only life can bring.

    In this twisted Maze we're in
    We all need a Guiding Force
    To take us by the hand
    lead us through our darkest hours
    When all things seem to end.

    There is a friend who is ahead
    Guiding us toward the end
    To find out there is the light
    At the end your friend.

  • INHUMANITY, GOD'S FLOWERS



    ONE WORLD TO CARE
    ONE HOPES ALL WILL
    ONE ACTION START NOW.


    World Refugee Day : June 20****

    INHUMANITY

    We Rate Horror !

    Yet Still!

    Let Our Children's Eyes

    SEE !

    What Standards

    Do We Rate Ourselves?

    Too Young To SEE

    Yet Old Enough

    To Feel Their Loss

    Too Little!

    To Know Their Cost

    Yet! Old Enough

    To Feel Its Pain

    Too Much !

    To Hold Their Hand

    When All The World

    Is At Hand

    God Help Us All!

    The CALLOUSNESS !

    We Have Shown

    Those Little FLOWERS

    That will Never Grow

    Whose Children Are They

    But Our Own?

    Dedicated To God's Flowers
    The Children of The World.

    To Lisa Diaz

    A POET'S NOTE

    TOMORROW'S SORROWS
    ARE TODAY'S TO RENEW
    YESTERDAY'S
    TO REVIEW
    REMEMBERING

    TODAY
    IS YOUR BEST CHANCE.

    FOR THE WORLD
    WILL NOT CHANGE
    IF WE ALL
    STAY THE SAME.

    GOD'S FLOWERS

    God's Flowers
    Are the Children of the World
    Shining through Earth
    Bringing Warmth and Love,

    Glowing to the Heart
    Where Tears are Felt
    Nourished by Caring
    When Hearts Feel Loved.

    God's Love Pours through
    To Shower His Children
    Each time one is Cut
    God Rains
    Tears from Heaven.

    One Flower has Died,
    Its Soul is Heaven's

    One Child Lost,
    Who will Flower Never

    One Child Lost,
    To the World Forever

    How many Flowers,
    Will be lost Today?

    Before we know it,
    They will be all cut away.

    Dedicated to UNICEF
    all The Children of the World

    A Poeatreeman

    Feed the Child,
    The Flower will Grow.

    Feed your Heart,
    A Flower will Grow in it.

    Feed it Love,
    The Heart will open.

    Feed it Care,
    Tears will be Awakened.

    NOT ALL

     
    Not all were smiles,
    not all was rain

    Not all was everything,
    not even the same

    Not all was sunshine,
    nor was it storms

    Not even light,
    could stay pass twilight

    Darkness came,
    light faded out

    Time was one thing,
    I could not stop

    Hope was there,
    not always bright

    Faith was there,
    to see the light

    Love came,
    showed me pain

    Sorrow said,
    I feel the same

    Care came,
    said all right

    I'll show you love,
    in a different light

    Happiness
    had its joy, in spurts

    Laughter came,
    covered up hurting

    Feelings felt,
    said I'll stay

    Where am I,
    if I leave today?

    I'll have no companion,
    to share the hurt
               
    Nor love to find,
    the treasures unearthed.

    A Poeatreeman

    Suffering is the loss of all
    Cares to know what love's about
    Heart will let you feel it all
    Pain is there for care to see
    Tears to let you wash the soul
    Love to keep it all from dying
    Sorrow if I lose it all.

    A WALK WITH DEATH


    I walk
    with Death

    Each
    day of Life


    Knowing
    it will be


    Yet
    I go on living


    For Death
    is not the end

    The loss
    would not
    be living


    Life
    has its part
    Death does too


    God
    opened
    the door,

    brought Me
    on through


    Until it closes
    I will
    walk with Him


    For
    God
    gave Me
    this moment

    To walk with Him

    For
    when
    the door closes

    I will
    be with Him again.


    A THOUGHT!

    It is not the hour
    I will end


    it is the end
    I left
    at the beginning


    For
    My start
    was the end


    My
    end
    was only beginning


    A Poeatreeman

    The Dark Side
    of Life
    is not Death


    It is All The Shadows
    You Cast On Life


    All The Wrongs
    You Never Made Right.


    A Poet's Note

    If I follow Myself
    The
    end will be in site


    For
    how far will I go

    Before
    the road ends?

      I HOPE


      I hope
      love
      will
      bring you
      through
      it all


      I hope
      pain
      will not
      deter
      your
      course


      I hope
      care
      will be
      there
      to keep
      you straight


      I hope
      sorrow
      does not
      turn
      you
      around


      I hope
      you
      don't
      bail out
      because
      of hurt


      I hope
      God,
      is there
      to give
      you
      direction


      I hope
      you,
      have
      a friend
      along


      I hope
      all
      will be
      peace.


      Most of all

      Not
      to lose
      sight
      of all
      you have


      It carries
      you
      day
      and night


      Lifts
      you up 
      when
      you
      are down


      only
      hopes 
      you will
      treat
      it well


      It is life
      who is
      your friend.


      A THOUGHT!

      If
      I turn life
      upside down


      I may only
      see my feet


      If
      I go
      down under


      I
      may not
      see at all


      Maybe
      I can turn
      side wards


      see the
      other view


      I tried
      North, South,
      East and West


      Maybe
      I should
      straighten up


      Beats
      standing
      on my head


      Let
      me pound
      my feet instead


      Go
      with life
      keep a friend


      You will learn
      to love
      those little things


      The cares
      you found
      along the way.

      Life
      is one friend

      He takes

      when
      I am alone


      Shares
      all God's
      things


      He
      shows me
      hope,
      each day
      I am here


      Lets
      me be
      what I am .

    WHAT WARMS MY WAY?


    The breath of God ,
    when He's next to me

    The smile of a child ,
    who looks to me

    The humanity of the world ,
    To love each one

    The sun when it shines ,
    When I awake to see

    The beauty of nature ,
    When I see all the flowers

    The day I was born ,
    When God gave me an hour

    The heart that I loved ,
    When I found I was feeling

    The tears that fell ,
    When love was hurting

    The hope that comes ,
    When darkness falls

    The times I learned ,
    When life taught me

    The sense I feel ,
    When I pray to God

    The hour that I spent,
    When I was looking for God.

    Dedicated to Quyen

    Poeatreeman

    If I shared a tear ,
    touched a heart

    Life will have
    been painful

    But oh ! ,
    What cares will I have

    I've shared a child’s smile,
    God smiled on me

    I found the world's tears
    they came to be part of me.

    LIGHTNING THROUGH THE NIGHT

                   
    Dear Jesus
    I know you can protect us all

    I know not if its meant to be

    In this time of fright

    Where storms are lightning
    through the night

    Please take your hand
    and shield my fate

    For scared am I
    of nature's wake

    Thunder and cracking of ever roar

    Makes my heart pound with the storm

    These times I think you're mad at me

    Oh yes!
    I hear your voice with might

    Shaking in my soul with fright

    Praying you'll hear my plea

    Praying you won't take me

    Praying you'll see me through

    In this time of dreadful flights

    Where storms are lightning
    through the night

    Take your hand
    and guide me through

    Even when it's shining too.
