61. The Time Is Now
We have but a short time
On this earth,
So value your life
For what it's really worth.
We have but a short time
On this earth,
So value your life
For what it's really worth.

I live with depravity,
Pressure like gravity.
Why can't they just see
I want to live happily?

Her eyes glowed with such ambition,
And her mouth spoke words of love and kindness.
She took pride in wandering;
She walked to find the places her heart longed for.
Wake up, beautiful.
Wake up from this tragedy.
Breathe,
Return to reality.
To be kind,
I must think.
To be selfless,
It's not about me.
So well done. It's an important message and I like your style. Very good job. Self-improvement and introspection can be tough jobs but well worth the effort.
Famous Poem
Shadows on the wall
Noises down the hall
Life doesn't frighten me at all
I think this is a really good poem because it teaches kids not to give up and hide in the shadows and actually express themselves.
slow down when your world
is spinning too fast
when day and night are stuck in dusk
make sure to enjoy life
I know the screams sound like thunder
I promise we won't go under
I know the heart feels hollow
There will be blessings behind the shadow
Why can't we sleep forever
And live inside our dreams,
Sheltered from the heartbreak
That life can sometimes bring.
I am worthy. There is nothing
that can or will happen today that
could convince me otherwise.
Death is an inevitable fate.
Someday we have to go.
You hope you did
your best in life,
We are sorry for all that has happened.
It hurt us too,
And together we will mend
Your heart all the way through.
Life is a carousel, always going forward, never going back.
Existence is a hard thing to keep when you stop trying.
To live a life, you must want to live.
To want to live you must find a way.
Be like the willow that bends,
shade that it sends,
peace that it lends.
This is an amazing poem - saying so much in very few words. Things don't always go the way we want, and sometimes we have to adapt and do so cheerfully - a very important lesson. It is also...
Even when you feel like a million scattered pieces,
you are still whole.
Even when you’re unsure of the path you’re walking,
you still have purpose.
We wait for what we long for.
We long for what we need.
Impatience and anxiety
Give root to errant deed,
At 70, I gave up reading poetry and attempting to write it. At 77, I was diagnosed with cancer and do not really know how long I have left. Instinctively, I turned back to poetry to ease the...
If you think you can reach the sky,
Why don't you flap your wings to fly?
Always give strength to your mind and soul.
One day you're gonna kick your goal.
Believe in yourself and you can achieve
Things you never thought possible.
Believe in yourself and you can discover
New talents hidden inside of you.
Believe is my favorite word from the Bible. Thank you for this. It reminded me today of people and equality. Remember next time you get down on your luck that each of us are equally as...
