Christian Cops

Yes I believe in Jesus
Are the words that I say
When someone I've arrested
Cries, pleads and prays

Yes I believe in Jesus
Are words they need to hear
When sentenced to prison
And given twenty years

Yes I believe in Jesus
I have already found my way
My believing hurts no others
And help me through my day

Yes I believe in Jesus
And still I do my job
Protecting from the dangers
With a guiding light from above

Yes I believe in Jesus
And inside I feel your pain
For Jesus can forgive you
But Justice requires you pay

Yes I believe in Jesus

When Goodbye We All Must Say

Today I saw my mother
She seems so tired these days
She knows that she is very sick
Still she says it's all okay

She tells us to not worry
There is a time we all must go
She talks about the plans she's made
And the things that we should know

She says that when her fight is done
And she has given all she can
She knows she'll then be ready
To meet her journeys end

We tell her to keep fighting
Dont give up on her life
Inside we know her journey
Must have an end in sight

I dont know really what to do
For this woman I so love
She has raised five children on her own
And not once did she give up

We tell her that we love her
And pretend that we dont see
This disease that has taken her
And dropped her to her knees

I love my mother very much
And want to take from her this pain
I dread that day I know will come
When goodbye we all must say

Two Words

Two words, Good Morning
Can help to start a day
Two words, Thank You
Can make it all okay
Two words, Miss You
Can calm a lonely heart
Two words, I Know
Can give a fresh new start
Two words, I Care
Can heal the hurt inside
Two words, I'm Sorry
Can start a brand new life
Two words, Love You
Can make the world right
Two Words

Just A Simple Thank You

I want to thank each one of you
For reading all my rhymes
I have 10,000 readers
In only 6 months time

I appreciate all your words
And the kindness of your hearts
The sharing of this passion
That some would call an art

I remember not to long ago
I would throw these words away
Thinking that this passion
Was somehow just a faze

I want to give a special thanks
To those who friended me
You helped me tell my stories
And you share this love with me

Carl Joseph Roberts


I wanted to just take a moment to thank you all.
Your kindness has allowed me to share my heartache.
Your words of encouragement helped heal my heart.
Your poems inspired me to keep writing and posting.
Many of your poems touched my inner soul.
You helped me laugh, cry, and feel sorrow.
You encouraged me to push forward in my writtings
Your words and poems have inspired.
I know that we may never meet in person
There is however a bonding friendships that will last.
Thank you for reading my poems
I hope to have 10,000 more reads in the next 6 months.
If however I only touch but one then this is worth it.
A simple thank you my friends and fellow poets. ...Joe

Insomnia

I lay awake and worry
On things I cant control
How to change my future
Or put my past on hold

I try to think of something else
Close my eyes and clear my head
Erase my mind of worry
For the day I have ahead

Sleep will help me start out fresh
Awake with different views
If only I could finally rest
I could start my day renewed

So I lay there and I tell myself
That it's time for me to sleep
If only I could start to dream
I would get the rest I need

Perfect Not Vain

How lucky can one man be
To be as good looking as I am
Handsome and with muscles
I must be the perfect man

I cant believe how great I am
Fantastic in every way
I know you must be jealous
Dont blame me for being great

It's hard to be who I am
With this brain as sharp as mine
When you think about what I have
You'll wish you could have my life

Dont hate yourself for not being me
It's a curse to look this good
Each morning just when I wake up
I must admire my own good looks

I see myself in the mirror
And think what a gorgeous man
How can I be so **** cute
And stay as humble as I am

Now I wont sign this poem
For that would be just vain
Plus it could be that I'm dreaming
And I really need to wake

My One Lost Love

Please know that you're my one lost love
That I remember from my past
The one who seemed to get away
But I wish I could have back

The timing wasn't perfect
For the love we shared back then
Two broken hearts not ready
So now we call each other friends

Every now and then we speak
I hear the story of your life
You tell me that you fell in love
I feel an emptyness inside

I'm happy for you in my heart
And I wish for you the best
Knowing what you need the most
To move forward from the past

Our futures took two different paths
Then where we thought we'd go
I cannot change how you now feel
So I let our friendship grow

Still no matter what our futures holds
Please know these words are true
I hope one day you find again
My one lost love for you
