Currently Reading A Separate Peace By John Knowles see related

I SUPPORT PEACE

 
Where hearts
come home,

Not souls
in coffins

who were
cut down
too soon

Where at home,
hearts are bled

From loves lost,
dying dreams

Wondering ,
For years,
why it was to be?

Taking count,
of pain and hurt

Each time, ,
They think,
of one another

What life I had ,
What could it,
have been?

Echoes, all through ,
The hearts,
that wept.

Did
I make it better
how?
Not
if I cannot
see
the end

What price ,
Did I pay
to see today?

What cost ,
Did I give
a heart or a soul?

What values
do I have ,
That have not
left me ?

What
do I hold on to ,
that can bring
me peace?

The hope ,
God will see
us through

Even through ,
The darkest
awakening

Hope of a nation
to serve God
not war

Of a people
to see the hearts
of others

A dream
not to kill
each other

The hope,
it was not
indifference

For bullets
ripped the flesh

Indifference
tore the soul

The wounds
they received

Was it inflicted
by them or us?

Who is serving
life or death?

Who is burying
hopes and dreams?

Who is serving
humanity the best?

The nation
WHO serves God
not man

The nation
WHO has God
in hand.

MICHELLE DETZEL
Dedicated to Linda Purvis
DESERT STORM
THE COUNTRY CALLED
MY NURSES WERE GONE
THEY TOOK THEIR HEART
WHEN TO WAR
I WAS LEFT WITHOUT
THEIR CARE.
I KNOW ALL TOO,  WELL
THE WAY OF WAR.
I SERVED IN NAM
WHEN I WAS CALLED.
I WHEEL AROUND
TO SEE TODAY.
I THANK GOD
FOR EVERY DAY.

A Poeatreeman

For it serves not me ,
who serves itself.

THE MOUNTAINS OF LIFE

ALL I CAN DO NOW
IS CLIMB MY WAY THROUGH
THERE ARE PLENTY OF MOUNTAINS
I MUST GET TOO

STILL I MUST DO.
EACH DAY I WILL TRY HARDER
TILL I AM THROUGH.

Currently There Are Mountains to Climb: An Inspirational Journey By Jean Deeds see related

THE MOUNTAIN OF LIFE

                
Take each stride
To step to life
In each step
Strive for best.

Take the Mountain
To the top
Carry through
all you do.

If it seems
Hard to bare
Know someone's
There with you.

Though the load
Seems more,
Than you can do

Life is only greater!
When it is shared by you.

Into life we must live
Taking each Season
To the top

In our hands
is all we can
The Mountain of life
is life itself.

As with each new peak
it must be climbed

There's only , One 
Who will hold us down
Or one who will hold us up

The will to climb
above ourselves.

The Greatest
is not the Climb To the Top

The Climb who made us
Find our self.

Through all life has to do

To all we must go through

Is to find our reasons
Why we're here

To know
God is there with you..

LOVE UNCONDITIONAL

 
Love
is not made,
boy do we try

We put
everything
into it

expect
it to survive

We
use the heart

To
manipulate
feelings

We
say
there's not love

If
you're not feeling

We
cannot make love

To
suit our feelings

Love
will be there

When
feelings are true

I
will give you
my heart

When
you care
for your own

I
will come
with love

When
you accept
I am human

I
will stay
as long
as you
are true

I
cannot
make love

To
suit
your feelings

I
will give
you my heart

To
hold your cares

I
will take a tear

That
none will be lost

I
will hold
them forever

place
God in charge

I
will hope
 our love

Will
be free
to take heart.

A THOUGHT!

there are
many things
I can make
in life

love
is one
I can only feel

No hand
can shape
the heart I love

No one
can make
handmade love

Only God
who brings me
the chance.


A Poeatreeman

Cupid
may have
shot the arrow

I
am the one
who feels the pain

Cupid
may have left
its mark

without
my heart
there's no target

Cupid
may have come
with love

it is
my heart
that brought love in

Cupid
may have
touched the spark

it is
my flame
that lights the arrow.

WHAT IS LOVE?

What is love?
The gift to give

What is sorrow?
The loss of it

What is heart?
The treasures of love

What is care?
The way to find love

What is pain?
The hurt tearing at heart

What is God?
The heart of all

What is feelings?
the sense of caring

What is tears?
The cost of love

What is love?
A life of caring

What is caring?
A life long love.

One tear, one care, one love
Can bring me all the pain
One heart to put it all in
One feeling to feel it all
One God who gave us all.

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

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