With doubt and dismay you are smitten
You think there's no chance for you, son?
Why, the best books haven't been written
The best race hasn't been run,

slow down when your world
is spinning too fast
when day and night are stuck in dusk
make sure to enjoy life
Famous Poem
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
I lie awake at night
Hoping that someone can hear my plea
That someone above can show me
There's a goal in mind
Of riches and fame
There's a goal in mind
Of a well-known name
Keep your eyes on the prize
Watching for the finish line
Taking in another breath of air
You realize in just a few minutes
One day,
She will break her silence.
She will scream.
She will shout.
Along a path, there was a bush,
That grew in marshy ground.
Its branches thick and laden down,
With berries big and round.
In life's symphony, my note dances astray,
A unique tale unfolding, forging my own way.
Within the labyrinth of conformity's grip,
I defy the mold, embracing my own script.
There you are, sneaking upon me!
From the corner of my eye, you make no sound, but I can see!
I ignore you're there, but you grow each day.
Strength comes
In so many forms.
In giving people
Second chances,
Take a bow, lovely one.
Because you’re tired
And still you’re doing it.
You’re feeling empty
I'm convinced that those close to you are grateful to know you and to have you around. This is a very uplifting and motivating piece. I like it. Thanks again.
Your life is a gift more precious than gold
From the day of your birth, your life starts to unfold
Treat it with kindness and treat it with care
And the strength in your body will always be there
You were beautiful
before they said, you are beautiful
You were smart
There's a need for more bridges than fences
There's a need for more love and less hate
There's a need for more laughers than critics
There's a need for more use and less waste
I agree with every word in this poem - well said. Very best wishes, Ann
We are only falling stars,
Fleeting sparks that arc
Across the vast forever of time
Through others' nights,
Catch your dream, don't let it go
'cause time is faster than you'll ever know.
No matter what, don't give up on what you believe.
When you give, you'll always receive.
