  • GOD HAS RIGHTS: NEVER FINISH

    GOD BLESS YOUR DAY,

    I HOPE HE CAN BLESS YOUR WAY.

    GOD HAS RIGHTS

    ONLY IF

    THEY ARE NOT

    WRONG.

    MAN HAS RIGHTS

    TO CHOOSE

    HIS OWN COURSE.

    NO ONE HAS RIGHTS

    TO DO

    WHAT IS WRONG.

    NEVER FINISH

     
    Never finish never ending

    This quest to keep on going

    Through the years and the days

    Past beyond and I keep going

    Towards eternity never ending

    Searching time to find the start

    Ending up to find I am beginning

    Never ending is my start

    Never finishing is my ending

    Always ending where I began

    Always starting with an ending

    Never finishing even beyond....

    A Poeatreeman

    Time is a second,
    eternity an hour
    God is the start
    that leads to a beginning
    Eternity is an ending
    that can end with God
    Time is a second
    when God gave me heart.

  • TRY IF I WILL


    THREE STEPS TO FAILURE,
    TRY NOT TO DO

    FAILURE,
    IS NOT THE END.

    IT'S ONE STEP,
    FROM BEGINNING.

    IT IS BETTER TO TRY

    THAN BE,

     FOR FAILURE
     IS NOT THE WRONG

    IT IS THE? TRY
    NOT TO GO ON.

    TRY IF I WILL


    One step that came forward
    Knowing all in its quest.

    One step to the Mountain
    Try and do your best.

    Failure is no steps taken.

    Success is many more.

    So why not Try and give it all

    I tripped over Failure
    it brought me Success.

    I climbed the Mountain
    it brought me many quests.

    Failure is the orphan
    For no one wants to hold it long.

    I must know Him
    If Success is going to come along.

    A THOUGHT!

    I have two friends in life,
    Success and Failure.

    I hope to see
    Success even more.

    Two friends
    I cannot part away.

    They are beside me
    all the way.

    One's behind,
    the others ahead.

    Rarely
    will they rest at all.

    They see me through
    the best and worse.

    Even Failure will have a Try.

    Success will come
    when I help Failure Try..

    Dedicated to Hillary Rodham Clinton

    A Poeatreeman

    Failure does not fail
    unless you do not Try.

    Success
    will help you carry Failure.

    When He is lagging behind.

    Never
    lose sight of both your friends.

    For surely you will have
    lost your way.

    Each is only a step away.

    Will's a funny guy.
     
    He has Failure and Success as friends.

    Can He hold on till the end

    Not if He does not Try

    Will! is only what you make him.

    A POET'S NOTE


    If you step up there are no Failures.

    Win or lose,
    Try is one great step.

    Now I have to climb over.

    Day and night
    will help me view it.

    Will!
     
    will help my friends get through it.

    THE BRIDGE OF BEYOND?


    I am in the middle of nowhere
    Yet somewhere I see.

    I am at the edge of Eternity
    Yet I see Today.

    I am at the start of here
    Yet Tomorrow will pass my way.

    I am at the crossroads of Yesterday
    Yet finding where I've been.

    I am between here and Eternity
    Yet traveling where?

    I am at the Bridge of Beyond
    Yet one step to take me across.

    I am at the end of time
    Yet passing time
    Beyond all measures.

    I am here where I began.

    A THOUGHT!

    I am here when
    I know where is
    I am there
    When I know what is

    Dedicated To Angie

    A Poeatreeman

    No time to pass,
    when left with self
    No hands to move,
    When time has stopped
    No time unless,
    I push ahead
    No clock to move,
    I'm faced with self
    One Time to set,
    Before it's gone
    One hour ahead,
    It's not too long
    No time to wind,
    Just pass Today
    No time Tomorrow
    I am here Today
    Beyond Tomorrow,
    I'll find no way.

    MY BEST AWARD


    The best award

    is when
    God ,
    Allowed me
    to write


    For my heart
    was the vessel


    That brought
    me on through


    The tears
    were pouring


    Not
    always smooth


    Without
    I could
    not move


    Not
    always
    would I see
    clearly


    For
    my vision
    was obscured


    I did not
    always follow


    The course
    I should
    have gone


    Life
    is not often
    forgiving,


    Nor
    people
    who look
    down
    at you


    God
    will forgive you


    Those
    who look down
    at you..


    A THOUGHT!

    I may not
    reach
    man's
    success


    Though
    I've
    reached
    beyond


    My
    award
    is waiting,


    I
    will take it
    to heart


    I thank
    God for
    the hour


    All the time
    beyond..



    DEDICATED TO GOD

    A Poeatreeman

    Who
    wants
    to be
    at God's
    right hand


    One
    hour
    with love
    is a
    Treasured
    heart


    One
    Hour
    before
    all is lost


    One
    way to find it
    give it to all


    One
    heart to love
    each and all.

    When our Parents,
    Take us Home

    To Teach us,
    What we Ought, To Know

    Raising us ,
    To be Loving too

    For When,
    we are Wrong

    They Try To Teach us,
    What is Right

    Showing us,
    They Cared

    Even When They Scold us,
    it is For, Our Own Good

    For They Took The Time,
    To Show us

    How much,
    They Really Love

    When They Take us,
    By The Hand

    Leading us Through
    our Darkest Fears

    They Hold us,
    in Their Hands

    All The Times,
    we Talked

    All The Times,
    They Listened

    They said
    How, much They Cared

    Even When,
    we're Old Enough

    They Keep us,

    which side now?

    Right

    A POET'S NOTE

    A GOLD RECORD
    YOU MAY NOT WIN
    THOUGH !
    HEAVEN'S GATE

    IS ONE STEP AWAY.

    STAY TO THE RIGHT,
    YOU WILL NOT
    BE FAR AWAY
    YOU'VE TURNED
    THE RECORD OVER
    RIGHT WAS THE PLAY.

  • AN EARLY MORNING SOLITUDE


    TIME TO REFLECT AND THANK GOD FOR THE DAY
    TIME FOR A CHANCE TO GO HIS WAY
    TIME TO START A NEW BEGINNING
    TIME TO FIND HIM BEFORE THE END OF TODAY
    FOR IN A MOMENT YOU MAY BE SWEPT AWAY.

    AN EARLY MORNING SOLITUDE


    Has
    the Beauty
    of the Day


    To
    Find Yourself


    Where
    the Sun is Cutting


    Through
    the Trees


    Watching

    The
    Painting
    of the Morning


    By
    the Sun's
    Golden Rays


    To
    Reach down
    and Touch You


    Feeling 
    the Warmth
    of Day


    To
    Think about
    What
    is Coming


    In
    this
    Very
    Special Day


    Meditating
    upon
    the Light


    Shining
    Through
    the Trees


    Reflecting
    like
    a Prism


    When
    it Touched
    upon
    the Leaves


    To
    See
    All
    of God's
    Beauty


    When
    the Morning
    Breaks
    the Day.

    A Thought

    No Matter!
    What Hour I Wake

    I
    Rise to His Glory
