Depressed
Angered
****** at the world
Mood changes
Every couple minutes
We try and help
Give advice
Push you to be better

But how can we help
If your not willing
To change yourself?

I know it’s hard
You have a “rough” life
But if your not willing
To move forward
Make changes
Listen
Embark in a different direction
Then we can no longer help

Your only 18
You have your entire life
Ahead of you

Help us, help you.....

We try to take this coworker under our wing, be role models and parents toward him, yet he falls back into the same problems all the time. It’s sad to see it but he doesn’t care but does.

The Man in the moon

The man in the moon looks down with sad eyes,
down on the girls and the guys.
He hangs up in the night sky,
surrounded only by stars he cries.
He cries because it seems he has no friends,
To him the nights never end.
Until a little girl looks up into the night, and stares curiously at the moon in her sight.
A quiet message she sends,
That she wants to be his faithful friend.
She talks, he listens
its how it goes.
He's always there when she speaks to him,
always in the nights so dim.
She may not see him sometimes,
but knows he's always listening to her soothing rhymes.
As she grows older,
he's her boulder,
to lean on.
One final talk before the dawn.
She heaves a sigh,
Before she dies.
"Don't be sad my beautiful moon, I always knew I'd be with you soon."

I don't even know why I wrote this.

Homes

they're taking down the trees
you know
I hope the creatures
have a place to go

I hope the birds
can all escape
and find another
nesting place

I hope the possums,
squirrels,
raccoons
find a new space
very soon

I worry that the turtles
moving slow
will not have
time enough to go

they're taking down the trees
you see
the reason seems
so strange to me

they're building homes
of brick and lumber
large amounts of funds
encumbered

concrete so the cars
can park
and bright lights
to keep away the dark

each of these homes
will have a place
called living room -
living space

but living it won't really be
it will not grow or breathe

it will not gently move
and sway
in breezes
on a summer day

they're taking down the trees
you know
I hope the creatures
have a place to go

they fell the trees
without a trace
soon there'll be
no living space

THE ULTIMATE GIFTS.

The gift life
The gift of living
The gift of pain
The gift of prophecy
The gift of work
The gift of financial increase
The gift of challenges
The gift of learning
The gift of family
The gift of friendship
The gift of laughter
The gift of this moment
The gift of dreams
The gift of gratitude
The gift of giving
The gift of righteousness
The gift of love
All of these gifts working in synergy
to bring us where we need to be.
It is grace at work.
Grace speaks, for grace abounds.
Be grateful.

Only Dreams...

Only dreams dig up your rawest emotions from the bottom of your heart, connecting them with reality to thrum the strings of emotion in your life, creating the most beautiful songs ever, only ever heard by you
Only Dreams lead you to be truly free, to be truly happy, to be truly...

Death Not Be Proud..

Dearly beloved,
We are here today for a bit of bad news
This is one of the hardest goodbyes
Oh, death not be proud

Here rests our beloved
He was the most spirited
The funniest
The bravest

We had a good run you and I
We have some great deal of memories
All the good times we shared,
I will forever cherish
The laughs, smiles,
The chats and the arguments
The games we playes together
The ice creams we shared
All the advices you've given me
I will forever appreciate them

Unfortunately, this is not a Eulogy, but more of an apology
I am sorry, but I gotta let you go

See, It wasn't my intention to **** you,
but it had to be done
It wasn't easy for me either
Murdering you was not my proudest moment
But I just had to **** you

Even though we had a good run,
Made friends, even enemies
Made money
We still broke a lot of relationships
We broke a lot of hearts
A lot of trusts
You even made me a murderer now
I can't even gaze upon myself
My reflection frightens me
Because of you, I can't recognise myself no more
So, again, I am truly sorry
But I'm letting you go..

You will surely be missed.
Goodbye
My Ego, Jealousy, Envy, Hate

Forever yours
Lefa

How I met The Beatles

It's a long and winding road to get to that answer. Some friends and I had come together because we each had a free ticket to ride the roller coaster 'Across the Universe' at the new theme park 'Helter Skelter' which had just opened on my birthday. The 4 of us...Jonathan the Tax man, Richard the Egg man, Paula the Meter Maid and Georgette... (well, she does something) had just come out of the 'Magical Mystery Tour' where you take a virtual ride around the entire park in a yellow submarine, and gotten in line for the roller coaster. Who should get in line right behind us but The Beatles. They were in disguise, but the accents gave them away...not to anyone else, just us. Paula whispered to George 'Closer...let me whisper in your ear' and she let him know that we knew. To make a long story short, we spent a day in the life of The Beatles. I offered to let them drive my car to their hotel, but they said they were waiting for the van to come and take them to see a guy named Ed. We spent 10 minutes telling them how great our day was when John finally shouted; 'LOOK, you say hello and we'll say goodbye'
...and in the end it was a day to remember.
When I'm 64, I'll still remember like it was yesterday!

oldie - not really a poem...but

Heart of Silver

Sweet Love

I love cooking! I love making tasty treats!
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, oh-so-yummy sweets!
Experimenting with recipes, (cookies are my specialty)
My place in the kitchen keeps this silly girl upbeat
I'm probably happiest providing something to eat

New flavors.. exciting! Ooh, that cake sure looks inviting!
Mind if I pop this in the oven?
Ah, I sure hope it's tasty...
and since I did so well, don't mean to sound hasty, but
C'mere and give this little chef some lovin'!
Ha, I wish!

Narcissistic as it sounds, I sure as hell enjoy
When the people around like the cooking skills I employ
I gotta wonder, if I made something good...
would you praise me? I hope that you would

'Cause, yeah, nothing beats a good meal
but eating alone sure doesn't feel
half as good as eating with you
and reaching across the table to take your hand
then despite my poor manners, I'd like to demand
you shower your chef with sweet little kisses
for all the hard work she's done as the missus

Eh, even if that didn't happen, I'd love to
cook you up something delicious!

To show you my adoration, to show you I care
and of course a part of me would just like to prepare
tasty, tasty dishes for others to savor
But really! I hope you most of all enjoy the flavor....

I love cooking! :D

talk not to me

talk not to me
of the reality that media shoot
at me from morn to evening

not of catastrophes or cruelties
humans inflict upon each other
with never-ending venom

speak to me of the delight
a newborn gives its parents

the joy and pride a child feels
mastering its first challenging task

the sudden sparkle in the eye
of refugees when finally they have reached safety

the wordless joy when two have found each other
and for a time need nobody else

speak to me
of all the moments in our daily life
that make us proud to be human

#love #joy #pride #safety #media #cruelties
