Armies fighting
throughout time
from bow and arrow
to bombs
one outcome as always remand the same
people die, children, men, women
life gets extinguished
without working towards peace
no one wins
war ends one way
people die, children, men, women

Land was taken
people were executed
revenge was sought
religions clashed
what ever the reason  
what ever the excuses
one thing will never change
no one wins
people  die, animals die, we die

I heard the news on Facebook
I paid my respects on Twitter
you played so many great characters
to many to list them all
but my favorites were
Bicentennial Man
What Dreams May Come
Flubber
Jumanji
Mrs. Doubtfire
Hook
Mork & Mindy

You were truly amazing
one of the greats
the world will not be the same with out you

From the dawn of man we've looked to the sky
looking for our God, our heaven, our galactic neighbors
searching for answers, but finding more questions
from Sputnik to the voyager probes
from the first moon landing to the space station
from the dawn of man we've looked to the sky
pushing and pushing to explore
never giving up until we are no more
searching for answers, but always finding more questions

Tears dropped
true love left
it felt like the end
I was set a challenge 5min ago to write a poem with no more than 10 words... This was my first try

What ever your reasons
what ever your story
we owe you so much.
You woke up everyday and risked your life
to give those alive today a future,
from me I'd like to say thank you
you are a true hero.

Despite my own views on war
you risked your life to save us all
you helped give us a future
and helped preserve our freedoms
from the bottom of my heart, thank you
you are a hero

Is hitting restart on our lives just a dream
do we really start again
out with the old and in with the new
we can try and change, but do people let us

Decorating an house is easy but what about something hard
like a change in personality
new hobbies, new friends, new dreams
do the people we know let us change

If you told your friends you developed a taste for opera
or maybe sky diving
would they accept you and let you change
or would they try to put you down to stop you.
We like to think that our friends would accept us no matter what
but if you completely changed you entire personality
would they accept or would they try to keep you the way you were.

I always thought I knew what love felt like
but I was wrong.
We started as friends but then it progressed
and then one day I realised I loved you.

I can't stop thinking about you, always on my mind
when I'm awake and when I'm asleep
I see you, your beauty from the first day we met
your eyes, your smile, your body
I want to get down and ask you the question
I want us to grow old and become parents together
I want us to be happy together forever
I want us to live our dreams and travel the world
I want to see your beautiful smile when I wake up

I thought I knew what love felt like
but I was wrong

I know that I love you
