ONE SECOND TOO LATE

DOERS DO,
THINKERS THINK.

PROCRASTINATION
WOULD HAVE

IF IT WAS NOT LATE.

FATE FOR US
TO THINK,
BEFORE THE GATE.

TODAY’S LESSONS
TAUGHT TOO LATE.

FATE DOES NOT WAIT
FOR THE WORLD TO AWAKE.

IT IS HERE EACH DAY
NEVER LATE
IT FOLLOWS DESTINY
IN ITS WAKE.

A GOLFER'S COURSE, TIGER WOODS ANTIGRAM
[14691248-landscape-with-light-beam-onto-golf-course]
PLAY THE FAIRWAY THE COURSE WILL TAKE YOU HOME
A GOLFER'S COURSE

Where are The Clubs?
The Caddy has them

Who is He?
I thought it was me

Who is Holding
The Bag?

The one who is Playing
with me

I am left with
a Choice

Which I Choose

The Flag is up,
The Hole is Down

The Greens are Running,
I must Slow Down

Can't move ahead
if I go Too Fast

I may Find myself
in The Rough at Last

Can't Make The Big One
if I miss The Putt

Can't Win
if I Throw in The Clubs

Can't Do anything
If I am Not in The Game

Can't Change The Course
unless I am Playing..

IN MEMORY OF PAYNE STEWART

TO ALL IN THE RYDER'S CUP 2010
MAY GOD, SHOW YOU THE FAIRWAY
A Poeatreeman

You may not swing your partner
You will certainly hit the ball
Don't use your shoes for dancing
You may spike them all
Try To Play The Fairway
For The Course will Take you Home.

LIGHTING THROUGH THE NIGHT
[LIFESTORMS]
I DID THE DANCE
FOR I WAS SCARED
OFF MY FEET.

I KEPT THUNDER
WITH THE BEAT.

THE RHYTHM WAS
MY HEART'S KEY.

I WAS DANCING
FOR MY LIFE.

FOR IT FLASHED
BEFORE MY EYES
.
WHEN GOD TOOK
THE PICTURE.


LIGHTNING THROUGH THE NIGHT

Dear Jesus
I know you can protect us all

I know not if its meant to be

In this time of fright

Where storms are lightning
through the night

Please take your hand
and shield my fate

For scared am I
of nature's wake

Thunder and cracking of ever roar

Makes my heart pound with the storm

These times I think you're mad at me

Oh yes!
I hear your voice with might

Shaking in my soul with fright

Praying you'll hear my plea

Praying you won't take me

Praying you'll see me through

In this time of dreadful flights

Where storms are lightning
through the night

Take your hand
and guide me through

Even when it's shining too.

WHAT WARMS MY WAY?

The breath of God ,
when He's next to me

The smile of a child ,
who looks to me

The humanity of the world ,
To love each one

The sun when it shines ,
When I awake to see

The beauty of nature ,
When I see all the flowers

The day I was born ,
When God gave me an hour

The heart that I loved ,
When I found I was feeling

The tears that fell ,
When love was hurting

The hope that comes ,
When darkness falls

The times I learned ,
When life taught me

The sense I feel ,
When I pray to God

The hour that I spent,
When I was looking for God.

Dedicated to Quyen

Poeatreeman

If I shared a tear ,
touched a heart

Life will have
been painful

But oh ! ,
What cares will I have

I've shared a child’s smile,
God smiled on me

I found the world's tears
they came to be part of me.

When God made man

It is up to man

That its Colors

Will not Fade.

His Stroke

Can be his Palette

The Colors

Will be his own

Brilliant or Dark.

His Landscape to make

His Palette to Create

His Vision His own

His SCENE ; To Look upon

His View God knows

His Stroke !

I HOPE

I hope
love
will
bring you
through
it all

I hope
pain
will not

course

I hope
care
will be
there

you straight

I hope

of all

Lifts
you up

are down

only
hopes
you will
treat
it well

It is life
who is
your friend.

A THOUGHT!

If
I turn life
upside down

I may only
see my feet

If
I go
down under

I
may not
see at all

Maybe
I can turn
side wards

see the
other view

I tried
North, South,
East and West

Maybe
I should
straighten up

Beats
standing

me pound
my feet instead

with life
keep a friend

You will learn
to love
those little things

The cares
you found
along the way.

BREAK FREE AT THE END
WHEN ALL THE WORDS ARE UN TWINED.

FINALLY I AM OUT, BOY WAS THIS A RIDE.

NEXT TIME I WILL USE MY SEAT BELT
BEFORE I GO TRAVELING. ABROAD.

I DO NOT WANT TO GET BUMPED OFF.
FROM THE ROAD I AM ON

I NEED TO READ THE END OF THE STORY
YOU KNOW

FOR WHERE WILL I GO,
IF I NEVER FINISH

FROM THE START,
TO THE END OF MY STORY.

FOR I HAVE NEVER JOURNEYED
THAT IS MY GLORY.

DEDICATED TO

IMAGINING PLACES THEY MAY,
NEVER SEE.

A WALK WITH DEATH

I walk
with Death
Each
day of Life

Knowing
it will be

Yet
I go on living

For Death
is not the end
The loss
would not
be living

Life
has its part
Death does too

God
opened
the door,
brought Me
on through

Until it closes
I will
walk with Him

For
God
gave Me
this moment
To walk with Him

For
when
the door closes
I will
be with Him again.

A THOUGHT!

It is not the hour
I will end

it is the end
I left
at the beginning

For
My start
was the end

My
end
was only beginning

The Dark Side
of Life
is not Death

It is All The Shadows
You Cast On Life

You Never Made Right.

If I follow Myself
The
end will be in site

For
how far will I go
Before
the road ends?

Down, But Not Out: 10 Steps for Rebuilding Your Life, Your Career, (and all that other stuff)
By Barry Minkow

NOT ALL

Not all were smiles,
not all was rain

Not all was everything,
not even the same

Not all was sunshine,
nor was it storms

Not even light,
could stay pass twilight

Darkness came,
light faded out

Time was one thing,
I could not stop

Hope was there,
not always bright

Faith was there,
to see the light

Love came,
showed me pain

Sorrow said,
I feel the same

Care came,
said all right

I'll show you love,
in a different light

Happiness
had its joy, in spurts

Laughter came,
covered up hurting

Feelings felt,
said I'll stay

Where am I,
if I leave today?

I'll have no companion,
to share the hurt

Nor love to find,
the treasures unearthed.

A Poeatreeman

Suffering is the loss of all
Cares to know what love's about
Heart will let you feel it all
Pain is there for care to see
Tears to let you wash the soul
Love to keep it all from dying
Sorrow if I lose it all.

Each time one is Cut
God Rains
Tears from Heaven.

One Flower has Died,
Its Soul is Heaven's

One Child Lost,
Who will Flower Never

One Child Lost,
To the World Forever

How many Flowers,
Will be lost Today?

Before we know it,
They will be all cut away.

Or even where we are going.

To take us through this Maze we're in
A mass of twisted roads
Winding tours, unknown ends.

Searching how to find something
only life can bring.

In this twisted Maze we're in
We all need a Guiding Force
To take us by the hand
lead us through our darkest hours
When all things seem to end.

There is a friend who is ahead
Guiding us toward the end
To find out there is the light
At the end your friend.
