 Mighty River
 
From high upon mighty mountains,to lucious valleys below
Curves the mighty river,in search of banks to over flow
To look upon mighty river,so soft,does she seem
Oh,but it be a ruse,with mighty power,does she scream
 
The mighty oak, has she broken,as she bores out her rath
The terror that reigns,as she rolls upon her destructive path
Her beauty can turn to fury,with but a drenching storm
An the land shall change its form,as over banks she swarms
 
So respect this beauty of nature,when so peaceful,she may seem
Remember,despite her beauty,the horror she maybe
She is but a mighty force,as before you ,the river screams
Oh,but to think,she was once a little stream

 I am not a poet my I have a stong believe that each moment of life we all make choices - good, bad or indiffert and those chioces affect everone around us,  Each choic mad is like filling a ballon with air - the more people affected the more air in the balloon

That Last "Goodnight"
 
From the day of one's birth
There's no concept of time,one know's not where they're headed,nor what they'll leave behind
 
Their journey is but a brief one,with no guarantees in life
  From  the dawn of their beginning,
Til that last "goodnight"
 
Tis an existence
Of many hills and valleys,many lessons
for one's soul
Til that last "goodnight",a struggle,of which  one has no control 
 
Life is never fair,neither unfair
You should know,tis but a lesson for our spirit
Enabling us to grow
 
So rejoice with your hills,take your valleys with stride
Remember, life's a gift
Where  no guarantees abide

Mother Earth
Winds o'er the meadows,which bristles in the bright sunshine
          Wild flowers blowing,joining this beautifully windy chime
              New life is flourishing,a gorgously new creation
        Mother earth is so inspired,as we watch with great anticipation
        Though man has harmed her greatly,as for his selfish needs,he explores
           With disdain for her beauty,does he destroy
Whilst earth's climate is changing.
 
Man's damage is wide ranging,the profit he so desires
Burning his world,maybe much beyond repair
Can there be,but a new day dawning
Where man ,with all his "genus",in his faults, he may soon be drowning
When mother earth retaliates,man's fate  may be at stake
His world,he has so damaged
The ability to sustain life,mother earth may soon,be unable to manage.

This Question of Life
 
This Question of life
A need of which,one must suffice
A longing,a seeking of knowledge
This quest by man
A need,he cannot admonish
 
Man's search for purpose
His need to know,the powers of life
From whence do they flow
 
Is there such a power
An all "knowing - being"
A great master plan,giving life meaning
 
As man has purged
Through the portals of time
A search,seeming futile
A life,he cannot define
 
Is this knowledge not his destiny
Is he not to know
This beauty of life
Of which,he has no control
 
I say,accept this great gift
Treasure it so
There may be but one chance
Of this,we may never know

 Death,A journey of life 
 
Death appears so ominous
An ending to a life,as we now know
The thoughts of it all passing
The earthly treasures,we adore
 
Yet,could it not be a new beginning
A new challenge for our soul
Another notch in our "belt" 
A new lesson,allowing us to grow
 
For life is but a stage
For our spirit to expand
To prepare us for death's journey
So vital to the soul of man

    Life's Lessons
 
When one embarks upon this journey of life
One shall, through out theyears, encounter much strife
The obstacles  will be many more,than one at times can bear
But the rewards will be plentiful,if one would, but not despair
 
Life is but a classroom for our souls to retrieve 
The many lessons in this world,our soul shall receive
And there shall be good,as well as the bad,as will the times we shall also be sad
Thus shall come the times upon which we may grieve
As well as the lessons of love,our souls shall so desperately need
 
We must accept this precious gift of life
As well, the lessons that shall accompany the strife
Tis lessons so important to ones's soul,as upon its journey,it must go
As it continues on its restless path,when our time on earth shall end ,at last

What I'd Like From You!
 
 
 
I'd like you to be the final missing piece of my happiness that makes me feel complete! I'd like you to be there for all my tomorrows to come...to walk beside me, behind me or ahead of me when you know the way! I'd like you to accept me as I am... with all my imperfections. I'd like you to accept the fact that we won't always agree...that we will argue to prove a point! But I'd like you to know I didn't fight against you my darling, only for what I felt was right. I'd like you never to keep score as to who won, who lost, never hold anger.
 
I'd like you to show me once we have set aside a disagreement, that you still love me as much then...as you have in the past, and even more in the future. I'd like you to never turn your back to me when we lay in our bed, that you will never raise your hand in anger, or use words you know will crush my heart! I'd like you to be understand that sometimes I may feel blue, and that even I may not know why. Just be there to hold me and comfort me, and help me through it all. I'd like you to share your kisses, hugs, and the softly whispered "I love you darling" as often as you can...but I want it to be whispered sincerely, not because you feel you have too. I'd like to know that no matter what I may do wrong, you will be forgiving.
 
I'd like evening walks, walks in the rain, sunsets enjoyed best when we watch the velvet sun dip beyond the horizon as we kiss! I'd like you to show an interest in what I enjoy, what I am creative in. I'd like to hear your compliment now and then for what I have worked hard to do. It may seem unimportant to you, just a little thing I've done, but my love, to feel you noticed and took the time to notice means the world to me. I'd like you to take my breath away and fill our bedroom with my softest sighs because I give my love, my heart and my soul to only you!
 
I'd like you to surprise me now and then with a love note hidden where I least expect it, or flowers for no other purpose but to show me "I was on your mind"! I'd like you to be all you can be and I promise that if you fell short of success, not only would I understand, but my arms would be waiting to hold you! I'd like you to remember that we are a team...and that regardless of the challenge facing us, we face it as a team, never alone. I'd like most to know in my heart that you feel you chose the right person to love you, that no wall will come between us, that life truly does feel wonderful when we have someone special in our life. I'd like you to believe as I do, that a relationship is a reflection of the effort two people put into the life they share together.
