  • WE ALL HAVE OUR CRITICS

    We all have our critics

    Success is only tarnished
    By the egos of us all

    Despite our wins
    History
    Will make the call.

    Critics
    Will tell it all

    Our wins, our losses
    Most of all.

    Our failing they think
    do not
    Meet their call.

    Whose standards are
    The judge of us all

    Certainly not their ego
    To make the call.

    POEATREEMAN
    Dedicated to
    @Ray Lewis
    Baltimore Ravens #52
    Who now is a winner
    In the Super Bowl 47
    Only the small
    Will dismiss His efforts
    Only the great ones
    Will truly
    Count their falls.
    ONLY !
    THE NAME SAYERS
    WILL TRY TO
    TARNISH IT ALL.

    HANG IN
    FAITH WILL NOT TARNISH
    WHEN GOD !
    HOLDS THE SOUL.

    A FACT OF LIFE


    FATE is a Course
    We are Destined
    to Take.

    How we get there
    is Sometimes
    a Hard Choice.

    Yet
    Follow we must.

    For The Times
    push us ahead.

    We can Stay
    for the Moment.

    Only to see it
    Pass Away.

    As with
    the Day’s End.

    We
    must Pass Today.

    THE WINE OF YOUTH


    Drink not
    From this Vial of Wine

    For yet you  not
    Feel its Flames

    and Taste
    The Bitter Sweetness
    of Your Youth

    That Burns Within you

    For Foolish Things we Do

    To make the Time go by

    Speeding Forward

    To what we Know not

    Inpatient we Have been

    To Find

    We are

    Still in the Place we left

    The Sweetness and the Sorrow

    For Time

    Can be no man’s Servant

    It Waits

    Not For us,  but We for it   

    A Painful Lesson

    To be Learned

    When we are

    Consumed by Youth

    For our Failing is

    We move Beyond

    What is not Yet to be

    We must only Drink of Youth

    Not take a  Shot to Boost

    We must Face the Years

     As they Come

    For then

    We can Learn for one....

    A LESSON TO BE LEARNED


    What
    I Learned
    in School
    You
    cannot
    keep
    God away

    What
    I Learned
    in Life
    I
    see Him
    every day

    What
    I Learned
    in School
    He
    is Here
    when I pray

    What
    I Learned
    in Life
    Is to
    Thank Him
    every day

    What
    I Learned
    in School
    Is to
    Carry Him
    each day

    What
    I Learned
    in Life
    Is not
    to lose
    the way..

    A THOUGHT!

    My Lesson
    is a Lifetime
    of Learning
    The key
    will be
    was I Learning?
    The School
    I may come
    through
    Yet
    Life's another
    Journey.

    Dedicated to Lauren  Kowan

    A Poeatreeman

    One hard Lesson
    is fought each day
    Give
    not in
    to ease the way
    Look
    at it all
    to see the best
    know the worst
    was not the way.

    A Poet's Note

    Whenever
    I come through
    the Worst
    Know
    the Best
    is in view

    Whenever
    the Best
    is not to see
    Take
    the Worst
    make it Better

    Keeping
    Perspective
    will get
    You through

    The Best
    and Worst
    is what You do

    God
    is here
    To help You through.

    LOVE'S FLOWERS

                         
    Love flowers,
    in all things

    A child's smile ,
    a talk with them

    In people
    who give love,
    a chance

    Love flowers,
    each time we give

    In listening to all,
    God's creatures

    Sharing what we are

    Love flowers,
    with our hearts

    In feelings,
    we have come to love

    Pain, we find hard to bear

    Love flowers through all,
    God's time

    In helping to understand

    The burdens we all bear

    Giving of ourselves

    For we're not
    afraid to care.
