We don't take the time to appreciate what we have until it's gone. Count your blessings. Take nothing for granted.
Mark Lecuona Mar 2016
You said I should count my blessings
That my life was good enough
I have my health
But I want more
There is nothing to live for
If you only live to breathe

It’s not right that others must cry
That life is so hard
For them
And their children
Who could put the misery inside them
If not the one who could conceive

I watched her wish upon a prayer
I became ashamed
I was so angry
Yet she calmed me
I was finally able to see
She knew which words to believe

An idea hit me like a tornado....
If I were a superhero,
I guess I'd be like Robin Hood,
Always aiming to do good,
I'd grant everyone their wish,
Hand them blessings on a golden dish,
Health, wealth and happiness,
Grant the world a superhero bless,
I see wrongs and wish they were rights,
It's the world, won't get uptight,
This idea hit me like a  tornado,
Oh, if only I were a superhero.
Feedback welcome.

Oh, 'twas the fierce love I once detested.
Crying out "why" from my corner of land.
It was the capacity to perform I once loved,
keeping me from my promised land.
There's a settling in on the horizon,
a shifting of views.
What I once saw as curse,
I now see as brand new.
A blessing from the Heaven
of the Lord our God.
For what I thought I needed,
He gave not.
truthfully, I will love every part of me.

To you grandma,
Centuries bear me witness
For I have held mother with honor.
With words of love
That envy doves
As they fly above.
Words of praise
That made the sun question its' purpose for the rise.

I honor mother with words of love and praise,
And this is to you grandma,
Your are a mother too.
You mothered mother, my mother.
So let this come out boldly.
Morning sunshine,
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Have you talked to grandma?
Remember when you needed to smile
And sweet grandma provided the reason to?
Birds singing,
Don’t make a fool of yourselves.
Remember when you needed a tune
And sweet grandma provided with a fortune?
Butterflies waking, spreading wings so expanse,
You look so ridiculous.
Is that how sweet grandma taught you to?
I beseech the wind today.
Whichever direction you are taking,
Recall when you needed a sense of direction and ran to her.
Flowers happy about,
Are you blind?

Dear Mother,
It is me your son. I am writing to you on a note that I know based on my knowledge gathered from this never ending walk in this forest of books and experience.
To thank the lord above.
To thank the lord below
The lord on the sides
The lord within you.
Happy Women’s day grandma
Happy women’s day mother.
This is my way of celebrating and playing with words. Painting them with colors of the rainbow.
You are but rainbows in so many lives
Oh Mother…..Oh! Mother of mine.
How bright is the light?
Flowing from you
Like star rays in all ways.
Grace, show your face today
If you aren’t ashamed.
Let us see you and Mom.
Quick words, quick words quick words of light.
Might we compare your actions to the lilies in the valleys?
So your son comes to the conclusion of this letter. I still have my pen and paper.
Happy women’s day to you.
Abundance of peace and Love always.

Hail Earthlings, let's be full of grace,
Smiles should be on our human face,

Pray for us all forever to save,
Bless each other, one global race,
Bless the Earthlings, full of grace.
Feefback welcome.

Oh thine hearts beat one by one. Never forget that.
For thy hearts never will be different.
Even if they beat for reasons that differ.
Oh thine eyes water one by one.
One for hurt, one for joy.
Hurt for the one you loved may not have seen.
Joy for the gods who lift you up and let your soul continue to be.
I write all my poems. If you want to use my writings, I ask you to ask my permission or at least inform me that you will be using them.
It is the least you can do.
Thank you.

I'm so proud to be the Father
of the lovely young lady
that you have turned out to be.
There's none other I would rather
for a daughter because you see;
You my love mean the world to me.
I am incredibly blessed with two wonderful daughters
First time in my whole life
Over twenty years of my existence
Realizing how beautiful life is
Even there are many hardships
Visiting good memories with someone
Elevate my mind, heart and soul
Realizing no matter what happen in life
More and more good memories will come
On the right time and the right place
Raising my life to **God Almighty
Existence is my greatest blessing forevermore.
I am thankful of who I am and what I am right now.  We are really blessed for our existence. Giving this optimistic poem for those who suffers pain and hardships. God give us challenges to be strong in everyday life.
