41. Ticket For Life
Bandage scraped knees. Kiss away fears.
Watch their heartbreak and dry their tears.
Teach them to know what's right and what's wrong.
Show them how to be gentle and when to be strong.

Wonder what it's like to be scared every day,
Knowing war and destruction are on the way?
Not able to run and play in the park,
Never camp out in the yard after dark.

Life's brevity, so bittersweet,
depends upon just one heartbeat.
Brief as dusk and swift as dawn,
Very nice. So very true. When it's said that we are given a certain number of days, what can be said when someone dies, say at age 59.5, but then is resuscitated and is now 64? Oh, no doubt...
As the seconds pass,
We look back
At what our lives have held.
The poem really hit home with me. I decided to use this for a compare and contrast essay for my literature class.
There's beauty in struggle,
There's feeling in pain.
For every painstaking mistake,
There are lessons you can name.
Well, my goodness!! You job and/or your girlfriend are not worth you!! Just remember that! You can find a new job; start looking, and you will find another girl. There is sometimes pain in...
Striving daily for progress,
Learning a paradox too --
That it's not always forward movement;
Sometimes, the reverse will do.
The best day of my life,
When will it be?
When I score top grades,
Or get a meal free?
I'll be happy once I've done this certain thing.
We all say this often, not realizing what it brings.
We look only to the future for our happiness,
Letting life slip through our fingers in its fullness.
Well thought out expression of a very deep yet communal event given voice in an authentic poetry format. Deeply set me thinking about my father's recent death. It's an experience that bind...
Sitting on the steps, looking across the lake,
Wondering why life, at times, can seem great.
But in that second, it took me to just think,
My life could change, faster than a blink.
I like the poem because it gives me the passion
in everything I do, even if you don't accomplish your goals right away.
Famous Poem
Don't look for the flaws as you go through life;
And even when you find them,
It is wise and kind to be somewhat blind
And look for the virtue behind them.
Sometimes life goes up and down between hills and rivers, but with even the least courage and a sign of faith in the turn we make at the sharp curve, it all levels up to positivity no matter...
Famous Poem
The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
My husband died 10 years ago. He was the love of my life, my soul-mate, my best friend. I have not known how to 'adjust' to him being gone until I read this poem, "Love After Love." Everyone...

Wearing my happiest grin.

And impress all my great Facebook friends.
Love someone as best you can,
but love.
And have a dog,
Famous Poem
Do not love half lovers
Do not entertain half friends
Do not indulge in works of the half talented
Do not live half a life and do not die a half death
Love is like a bicycle
Left out in the storm
If it's not protected
Rust begins to form
There comes a time in all our lives
when truth will set us free,
so live each day as though you know
your last it may well be.
I just love this poem it is so true and yes it has touched me!
Tiny little secrets
Get buried in the dirt,
And if they were dug up,
Someone would probably get hurt,
I don’t know if that’s true, because sometimes it's better to hide the hurtful secrets because the world these days will probably laugh at you then do nothing for a few days then decide...
When we were born with no possession.
The love received was our concession.
No worries, no fears, no troubles, no fuss.
In mother's arms we put our trust.
Wow, this poem reminds me of one of my uncles who was all about his accomplishments. He chased after money till he couldn't. Lying on his hospital bed breathing his last, he realized life...
We are never finished products,
No matter how long we live.
There's always something we can add,
Like learning to forgive.
Winter oh winter, how long will you stay?
Winter good old winter will you ever go away?
I liked you in the beginning and in the middle you were fine!
But, can someone pass me some crackers to go with my whine?
