Why

Pondering Life

in Meaningful Poems

Why do we begin if we don't plan to finish?
Why do we love if we don't want to get hurt?
Why do we live if someday we must die?
Why do we smile if we really hurt inside?

Why do we begin if we don't plan to finish?
Why do we love if we don't want to get hurt?
Why do we live if someday we must die?
Why do we smile if we really hurt inside?
Why do we frown when everything is upside down?
Why do we plan but not take action?
Why do we cry when someday it will be all right?
Why do we get mad if we really should be glad?
Why do we mourn when somebody is gone?
Why do we say hi if we really mean goodbye?
Why do we question what shouldn't be questioned
and answer what shouldn't be answered?
Tell me now...why?

I'm Not Waiting Anymore
- Published: October 2009
Poem To Ex Boyfriend

in Anger Poems about Love

I waited on your kiss,
Your warm embrace;
I waited on your lips and the way your hands twist.
I waited on your excuse,

I waited on your kiss,
Your warm embrace;
I waited on your lips and the way your hands twist.
I waited on your excuse,
I waited on your apology,
I waited on your eyes to look into mine,
But guess what. . . . .
I'm not waiting anymore,
I'm over you,
I'm through with you,
I don't want you, nor do I need you,
I have a line of guys waiting to replace you.
Don't be fooled baby love,
I'm not waiting on you.
Now I'm waiting to choose the next guy that will replace you.
Don't get me wrong, I am not angry at you,
I'm not holding a grudge against you,
I just don't like you.
So I am not waiting anymore,
I'm not waiting on your kiss,
I'm not waiting on your lips,
I'm not waiting on your hands to twist,
Boy please, I'm not waiting anymore.

Have Courage
- Published: October 2009
in Courage Poems

Picture

Life is not just waking up one morning and saying, "Ok, I want this to happen."
It's about getting out there and going for it...

Life is full of surprises,

Life is not just waking up one morning and saying, "Ok, I want this to happen."
It's about getting out there and going for it...

Life is full of surprises,
here, there and everywhere,
You never know where you will end up
or who you will end up with.
You just have to trust your faith and keep God close.

Never say never, 'cause you know you can do it,
Never say later; do it right now.
Never let people bring you down.
They will do anything to watch you fall,
so keep your head up and your heart strong,
and then, my dear, you can never go wrong.

I Have To Go
- Published: March 2008
Letting Go Poem For My Cousin As She Died

in Dying Poems

I have to go,
I must go for I can no longer stay here,
there or anywhere,
I must die today, ...

I have to go,
I must go for I can no longer stay here,
there or anywhere,
I must die today,
let there be no more delay.

I'm ever so sorry it's not you or him,
not even me,
but it is destiny,
I was meant to die today,
I wish you could come too
but you can't
it's just me
not me and you.
it is the grand design of life everyone dies sooner or later.

no,
I know it is not fair
but it's just got to happen
please don't cry,
I'm with you in your heart,
now and forever more,
but now I have no more time
please let me go live and be happy
I will wait for you
I promise
I love you,
never forget me but now my love I have to go.

I Believed You
- Published: October 2009
Poem For A Friend Hurt By Her Boyfriend

in Betrayal Poems

I believed when you said that you loved me,
I believed when you said you would never leave me,
I believed when you said you had to study,
I even believed you again when you said you and me forever.

I believed when you said that you loved me,
I believed when you said you would never leave me,
I believed when you said you had to study,
I even believed you again when you said you and me forever.
Now I know you are nothing but a liar and a cheater; you are a betrayer.
I let you in my world and you destroyed it,
I gave you my heart and you broke it.
What else would you have done to me if you had gotten the chance?
You know what I can't believe most of all,
The mere fact that I even believed you. . . .

The Wrong Boyfriend
- Published: June 2008
in Goodbye Love Poems

you say you love me
but I'm afraid that I can not say it too,
I do not think that I love you,
let alone like you.

you say you love me
but I'm afraid that I can not say it too,
I do not think that I love you,
let alone like you.
you asked me to be with you and I said yes,
now I'm afraid I'm in a mess.
I keep trying to let you go
but you just won't leave me alone.
slowly I begin to have feelings for you
but I'm ever so sorry I don't want to be with you.

Loved And Lost
- Published: October 2009
in Lost Love Poems

I've loved him
I've lost him

He thinks I hurt him, ...

I've loved him
I've lost him

He thinks I hurt him,
But won't let me tell him
That I didn't do it to him

People will talk
And others will listen
People will tell him
And he will believe them
Then he won't take
A second glance at me

I've loved you
I've lost you

Now I'm sick of loving you
All I do is get hurt by you

I've loved you
I've lost you

And yet it's you that's been hurt?

I don't understand
It's me people chat
And you that believes

It's you
Who won't listen to me
But will to everyone else

My Heart Leaps Up
- Published: October 2009
in Teen Sweet Love Poems

My heart leaps up to his smiling face,
My heart leaps up to see his sparkling eyes,
My heart leaps up every time he says my name,
I think of him often, ...

My heart leaps up to his smiling face,
My heart leaps up to see his sparkling eyes,
My heart leaps up every time he says my name,
I think of him often,
I dream of him always,
my friends rate him,
but I date him,
my mum likes him,
but I love him,
he is the sweetest person I know,
always giving,
never reconsidering,
always caring,
never regretting,
so this is why my heart leaps up. . . . . . . .

Me And My Family
- Published: October 2009
in Family Poems for Kids

my family is great
my family is fun
we are there for each other
and everybody knows to run

my family is great
my family is fun
we are there for each other
and everybody knows to run
when one is hurt
I love my family
we are fun and free
I love my family
it's my mum, dad, sisters, and me

my family is weird sometimes
but in a pretty cool way
they are all so talented
and admired throughout the seven seas
my dad is great
he is always there for me
he never gives up and pushes and pushes me,
my mum is a fighter
but has gentle hands
she has a keen eye
and a mean left hook
my sisters are wacky
and cracky and everything dopy,
but I love them anyway

yup that's my family
oh boy my family and me
