LOVE UNCONDITIONAL

Love
is not made,
boy do we try

We put
everything
into it

expect
it to survive

We
use the heart

To
manipulate
feelings

We
say
there's not love

If
you're not feeling

We
cannot make love

To
suit our feelings

Love
will be there

When
feelings are true

I
will give you
my heart

When
you care
for your own

I
will come
with love

When
you accept
I am human

I
will stay
as long
as you
are true

I
cannot
make love

To
suit
your feelings

I
will give
you my heart

To
hold your cares

I
will take a tear

That
none will be lost

I
will hold
them forever

place
God in charge

I
will hope
our love

Will
be free
to take heart.

A THOUGHT!

there are
many things
I can make
in life

love
is one
I can only feel

No hand
can shape
the heart I love

No one
can make
handmade love

Only God
who brings me
the chance.


A Poeatreeman

Cupid
may have
shot the arrow

I
am the one
who feels the pain

Cupid
may have left
its mark

without
my heart
there's no target

Cupid
may have come
with love

it is
my heart
that brought love in

Cupid
may have
touched the spark

it is
my flame
that lights the arrow.

THE MOUNTAIN OF LIFE

ALL I CAN DO NOW
IS CLIMB MY WAY THROUGH
THERE ARE PLENTY OF MOUNTAINS
I MUST GET TOO
THE PEAKS WILL BE HIGHER
STILL I MUST DO.
EACH DAY I WILL TRY HARDER

THE MOUNTAIN OF LIFE

Take each stride
To step to life
In each step
Strive for best.

Take the Mountain
To the top
Carry through
all you do.

If it seems
Hard to bare
Know someone's
There with you.

Though the load
Seems more,
Than you can do

Life is only greater!
When it is shared by you.

Into life we must live
Taking each Season
To the top

In our hands
is all we can
The Mountain of life
is life itself.

As with each new peak
it must be climbed

There's only , One
Who will hold us down
Or one who will hold us up

The will to climb
above ourselves.

The Greatest
is not the Climb To the Top

The Climb who made us
Find our self.

Through all life has to do

To all we must go through

Is to find our reasons
Why we're here

To know
God is there with you..

A Separate Peace
By John Knowles

I SUPPORT PEACE

Where hearts
come home,

Not souls
in coffins

who were
cut down
too soon

Where at home,
hearts are bled

From loves lost,
dying dreams

Wondering ,
For years,
why it was to be?

Taking count,
of pain and hurt

Each time, ,
They think,
of one another

What life I had ,
What could it,
have been?

Echoes, all through ,
The hearts,
that wept.

Did
I make it better
how?
Not
if I cannot
see
the end

What price ,
Did I pay
to see today?

What cost ,
Did I give
a heart or a soul?

What values
do I have ,
That have not
left me ?

What
do I hold on to ,
that can bring
me peace?

The hope ,
God will see
us through

Even through ,
The darkest
awakening

Hope of a nation
to serve God
not war

Of a people
to see the hearts
of others

A dream
not to kill
each other

The hope,
it was not
indifference

For bullets
ripped the flesh

Indifference
tore the soul

The wounds
they received

Was it inflicted
by them or us?

Who is serving
life or death?

Who is burying
hopes and dreams?

Who is serving
humanity the best?

The nation
WHO serves God
not man

The nation
WHO has God
in hand.

Dedicated to Linda Purvis

A Poeatreeman

If I reach for the plow ,
Make sure my heart is in it

If I reach for the sword ,
Make sure truth is in hand

If peace is at hand ,
why can't we take hold?

Do we serve
God or man?

God help the nation ,
who serves itself

For it serves not me ,
who serves itself.

A PART OF HEAVEN

A little
part of heaven

I see
the stars above

Shining
down upon me

I
think
I am feeling loved

Each star I see,

I wonder
who is there to see

An angel
I must be

To know
what part of heaven

That is
shining down on me

I feel the warmth

When
I see it looking
back at me

Is it
twinkling
just for me?

I
wonder each time

Wishing
I was
part of heaven

That
I could
shine
down on you

Maybe
one day
I will be
there to see

That star above
could be me

One part
of heaven
I will be..

A THOUGHT!

My wish
will let me
find a way

My goodness
will show me
just where to go

My life
will have
held the faith

My God
will make me
the star I loved

My belief
will let me
shine with heaven

My God
will place me
in the heavens.

Dedicated to God
All The Children

A TRIBUTE TO

A STAR WHO IS
ALREADY THERE

A Poeatreeman

A little
part of heaven

I can
count
my lucky stars

We are each
a part of heaven

it is when
we become a star.

One part of love

will brighten
up the sky

One's
love for God

Will
light the stars above.

A TEST OF COURAGE

Here I am in life's own hand
at the mercy of its forces

Going from one course
To travel to a distant place

Where no course has been set
only waiting for the next

To see if I would fall

On the travels of my flight

Into where is next
With all that past how do I test?

In this life I must pass
Only moments away

To the next until I test
All my life will I contest

Wondering!

If I did my best

only can I know

If I keep the course I have set

Try to test my best

For going into life

Is a test I have met

Staying with life

Will be my final test.

The Long Road Home
By G. B. Trudeau

THE LONG ROAD HOME

I am
one
of God’s Souls

Looking
for
the way home

It
started
when
I was born

All
was new
both
good and bad

I
have to learn
which
one is true

The
choices
are there
what
will I do?

I
pray
the right one
will
get me through

I
made mistakes
found wrong

I
am trying
to get back
where I belong

The
Road is narrow
when
choices are few

The
Road to Heaven
is one way too

The
Path to Hell
has many ways

Take
the wrong one
to walk away

The
Long Way Home
is hardest yet

It
takes
a lifetime
to reach your quest

Heaven!
There
are no short steps

I
Tripped
and Faltered
all the way

Yet
God
was there
to pick me up

The
Long Road Home
is in my sight

For
I carried God,
day and night.

Dedicated to Us All

Heaven help
the Wayward Soul
To find
a place with You...

To President William Jefferson Clinton

A Poeatreeman

The Shortest
will not be true

Yet
if you take it

Remember
what you choose

There
are no shortcuts
to Heaven

Hell
I thought of Heaven

Too
Late to say the words

My
Soul spoke not to Heaven

There
are shortcuts to Hell

Just
pass Heaven

Don’t
give a damn

You’ll
be there
in plenty of time

It
only
takes a day to reach

The
day
you passed Heaven.
