THE STRUGGLES OF LIFE

                        
When Times
Seem Troubled
All is not Right

Try to Find
Your Strength
To Lead you
Out From Fright.

For Troubles
are many,
So is Life

A Price we Pay
For Living Right

It is Easier to Feel
Wrong is Right
When all Seems
To Follow Night
Rather Than
The Day of Light

For it Takes
All you Have
and One more

To Pull
You Out
From Where
You've Been

When you Can
You'll Find
One Thing

You Have
Found yourself.

Currently Remember When - 1960 (A Nostalgia Look Back in Time) By Staff see related

REMEMBER WHEN

We were young,

We were,
just little ones

We used to play

How we were,
when we were one  
    
Way back then,
the times were young
 
Life was easy, for us then
       

For we had,
our innocence

Play was the only thing,
we knew

Then we grew,
into our lives

Time seemed
to change, their ways

For our eyes were
opened, to the view

Not all
of what we've seen, we liked

For life
only showed, the truth
 
It was up to us
to face it all

Even though,
it made us cry

Laugh
at the way, it went

For times were good,
times were bad

Life had its ways,
to cure our blues

It gave us, happiness
and love

With this love,
it gave us pain

For now our eyes,
are opened wide

Now we grown,
into our love

To feel the growing pain,
of impatient youth

Did we try,
to burn our life out

By trying
to do, all we can 

For we thought,
we only had today

How wrong
we were

When we found,
how many mistakes,
we made

By being foolish,
with ourselves

How many times,
did it take to learn

We are
only, what we make

How many loves,
did we lose

By not being,
what we were

Trying to impress,
some little girl, or boy

To show them
you were grown up

A man or woman,
of the world

By doing things
only youth would do

Did you measure,
how big you were

By being the biggest fool,
of them all

Taking chances,
with your life

For it only took
common sense

To know
how wrong, you were

Did we listen,
to ourselves

Only when
it brought us pain

Sometimes,
even tragedy

A painful sorrow
to experience

Cost us
life and youth 

When we passed,
the burning years

We saw
how foolish, we had been

Wondered
how, we got this far

In the year we are in

For now
we are more aware, of life

For we see life
has taught us, many things

Not all
did we want to be, a lesson

For our experiences,
were good 

Only if we learn,
from the bad

Even though
we are older

We still
have allot, to learn

For life has many things,
in store

We can only know,
when it reaches, our door

For how we
receive it,

Will be our gift
or destruction

When we look,
behind

We'll have,
our blessing

For we can look back,
to the good times

To Remember...

I can see their Hearts
For I am in it

For they took my Cares
Gave, me theirs to Share

A SHADOW OF A FRIEND

He has His good side,
Though sometimes,
He follows His shadow

Then I see who He is,
A Friend
That does not always,
Go the way I see.

We Share a Lifetime,
Being Friends
I hope
He, will find Truth
To let Him see,
What is right..

For Time
Is  not the Hour
That I must Take
Right or Left
To be His Friend,
Let Him know
I Cannot walk,
In His Shadow.

It is for Him,
That right
Will say it so

I am a Friend
That Cares a lot
I will talk to Him
With Heart
Let Him know,
What I Think is right
Not always, will He agree.

For He has His Shadow,
I have mine.
We both are Sometimes,
Left with Right
To do what We must,
To Show Ourselves.

Trying
To be Friends,
still be right

I cast no wrong
To say He is good
Truth will hold us
Both, in Heart
Friendship,
will last as Long,
As it's Honest.

A THOUGHT!

My Friendship,
Is not right nor wrong
When He takes me
To His wrong.

I Cannot go with Him at all

My Friendship,
Must have
Truth and Heart
Care and Love,
Will keep it Going.

My Friendship,
Must be True to us
Speak your mind,
Without you going.

Written For and Dedicated To
Ronald J. Kowan

Your Friend A Poeatreeman

If I have one friend,
It will be a Jewel in a Crown
If I have one Heart,
I can open the Treasures.

If I have His Heart,
I will have Friend Forever
If God is there,
We can Share
In His Crown TOGETHER..

Currently Reading The Brain God Gave Me: A Fictional Memoir Based Upon the True Life Story of Roxie Howard By Roxie Howard see related

GOD YOU GAVE ME WHEELS

I would
slow down

God
you gave
me wheels

How fast
should I go?

Before
the days
roll over me

Roll
only to see me
never over me

There
are other people

Who
need to see
the way

All of them
are special

Each
must find
their way

You
can come
to me

You
do not need
your wheels

Or
even feet
to see me

or
even walk
the way

Carry
your heart
with you

I will be
there today

Take
the days
to find me

All
are welcome
who come
my way

Love
will let you
reach me

Faith
will take you
all the way.

A THOUGHT!

There are
no traffic lights,
to stop you

Only
your own sign

Know
where
you are going

Watch
for the signs.

DEDICATED TO CHRISTOPHER

Heaven
is not a place
I can travel to

Though
it is the direction
I want to go

It will take
a life time
to reach

The road
is long and winding

many
a toll to pay

The cost
is faith
to get you through

Heaven
is the way
I can reach you

So take
no other way..

IT'S FREEDOM

Christian MySpace Glitte

It Speaks to all of Us,
Not just me.

It's not the words I Hear
It's the ones, not Spoken.

I write one line,
What have I said?
Freedom is to be Spoken.

What Line has Changed,
That Frees my Hand ?
The Words I Wrote,
Before I Died.

I am Free to Think,
and Love my God.

I am Here to See it
Not Fall Away
My Country
Speaks to me.

Freedom is in The Air
And so is Change
To Shackle me.

Be Careful
Not to Make it so
It Takes one Loss
When Freedom Goes.

Your Will to Choose
and Let it Go.

A Poeatreeman

If my Heart is Free
My Spirit Flies.

No will to Hold me
To The Sky.

Heaven Stands
Not in my Way.

I am Free to go
Where I may.

Dedicated to My Country
THE LIGHT OF LIBERTY
MUST NEVER GO OUT
FOR FREEDOM WILL NOT BE
