This is a poem that I have had for as long
as I can remember given to myself from my
very own grandmother as a cut out from a
newspaper when I was a child .
It is Author Unknown ..
Not one I wrote myself .
I would love to know who had
indeed written it .
But it was dated 1912 and I
thought of the Titanic ..

TO BEGIN AGAIN

It takes a lot of courage
It calls for strngth to mind~
To make a new beginning
And leave the past behind~
To build upon the ruins
And dream another dream~
To set forth in the dakness
Towards a distant gleam~
To suffer many losses
Yet faithful to remain~
To rise above disaster
And then begin again~
Life's ending today but there
can be a new tomorrow with
faith and trust in your heart .

Author Unknown
Far away out along a beautiful river
In a tent under one big old tree~
Moon on high up in the sky
Just I myself and me~
Listening to the songs of nature
Everything out there gets along so fine~
Makes me wonder whats wrong with the world
On this planet of theirs and mine~
A few days fishing to meditate my way
As I at times remember,look back and forth~
Into the past and to the future to come
In my mind east west south and north~
Not the planet I was born on anymore
But about that not a lot I or anyone can do~
Victims of progress and modern times
Over time some common sense will make it through~
But way out here peace and natures music to hear
Natural tranquility of simply to no end~
In a place like this one can find natural bliss
Away out along a river around it's many a bend~
One can hear the silence softly singing
Ones mind feels that it could almost stay-
Sleeping by an open fire under the stars
Up along a lazy river simply far away-
Natural tranquility far out along a river
Peaceful therapy for any soul and it's mind-
Total natural therapeutic tranquility
The most wonderful break any soul could find-

One More Reason To Believe

( If only we KNEW instead of just
  believed .. And never just had
  MANS word and HIS book ..Life
  would be by far less stressfulfor all )

One more reason to believe
In the one we trust~
One more reason to believe
Now ..For their sakes and ours we must~
Many reasons now we have
To thank him for being there~
He helps us all in every way
His love beyond compare~
Now he has one more of us
And one day it will be me~
I will have learned all I needed to learn
And then from this classroom I ll be free~
I then will see the very sight
Of those I love so but have died~
And then I ll know all is calm
And that needless tears Ive cried~
He loves me and I love him
And there's not a doubt that , that's true~
For we all know deep inside that he s there
He s there for me .. He s there for you ~
so rest assure that they are now fine
And if they could tell you they would say~
Never been so whole and so loved
And I ll be waiting for you on the day~
One more reason to believe
In the one we trust~
One more reason to believe
For all our sakes we must~.

Its a fact of life ..Mand greed and need for more
Will one day be his failing himself ever so
His religions almot equal pigeons closed minds
But the many outcomes are out og his hands to know

Its true its been said put to bed in the back of his head
Plus comes a day everyone ages and dies moves on
Man wating his time with his games ever so fine
After whach another civilization neve to hear his song

As its said ... So far the Earth has had four aeons and we are now living in an epoch ... “wise life”) in which the thoughts, deeds and creations of human beings will ... even smaller asteroid could have disastrous consequences for humanity.

Well over time to show love for one another

Today ever so a beautiful day
Nature has blessed us once again
At times it gives us its sunshine
Other times it gives us needed rain

It expects us to prepare its changes
Thinking we've got the know how true
To live in safety for its times to come
Us to work with it not it for us through

Man and his attitudes of ego often feel
Its nature who needs more consideration
Even it can please some some of the time
But not all all of the time needs examination

Yet today come what may with its blessings
Another gift nature has given as nature can
Human the lesser life on earth that here be
Not just alone for the species of earths man

Long ago the earth a burning ball
Cooled as nature works with time
Slowly nature forming changes here
Endless unknown changes ever fine

Over such a time nature had its way
Man the lesser life form thus to be
Slowly man imagined he was more
Developing his inbuilt within ordacity

All else enjoyed all of natures gifts
Exepting all that nature it had done
Man began thinking he knew better
Making his own changes since he begun

The more he grew the more changes too
Not aware of damages he was doing so
Having endless natures gifts lessened
Feeling better than nature he'd know

All this time later he now blames nature
For so much more with vivid imagination
Now as well dare I tell his own karma
Has arrived as man has failed examination

To Far To The Ground ( part1& I Am Now Still ( part 2 )

A write about f a friend I helped once
in a time of dire strates .. TRUE ..

To Far To The ground .. Poem 1

As I watch the leaves falling.....
Falling....sofly ... gently
Dying ... Landing down upon the ground
I feel a breeze upon my rough face
And as I look back upon my life
I think .... Yes thats my trouble ..
Always thinking~
And as I walk along a country track
I see two birds flying Together
Side by side ..Slowly
And I wonder
Do they appreciate being together
Yes ... Thats my trouble
Always wondering.....
Then .. I reach for a smoke
A drink
And I recall an old dream
Oh God ... I silently cry
Whats this life all about for me
As I then feel at the end of my teather....
Life... This life of mine
Have I like an apple remained upon the tree
Way too long...
Is .... It .... time .... I fell
But ..... I have not at this point in time the courage
It's way too far to the ground~

AND POEM  2   .. I AM NOW STILL

When I thought all was indeed lost
When all my very dreams seemed as if
They all had died and faded away
When i could no longer find the answers
To problems I thought  had no way
To get my mind around
And no way they could be solved
And there seemed no way out.......
When i was about to throw in the towel
Give it all up as a bad joke
For thats what it all then seemed
Then ........Only then .......
Did I find
An outstretched hand....
A friend ...
A true friend ....
One who offered me a way out..
And as if shelter from my storm...
And .... All because ..
A true friend .. Right then existed ...
I .... Am .... Now .... Still ....
