When we said our wedding vows last May Did you really think that I could go on Letting you treat me this way It's six a.m.when I see the sign to our hometown All I know to do is beg and pray I just know that I truly do lover her I want to be with her each waking day I'll tell her that I love her more than anything I'll swear that there is no more runnin' round If she will only let me try once again Let me prove this man was lost, but now he's found Written By: Susie Hicks Copyright 2001 LOVE We find the love of Jesus, at the cross of Calvary. He has paid sins price, just for you and me. His love is never ending, his forgiveness so free. He has a home in heaven, for those who do believe. Written By Bob Gray Copyright 2001 HIM Was it him I saw standing over there Was it him who said he didn't care? Why would he say such a thing if he loves me true then he will say my dear I DO But if he hates me he will walk away and never be able to face me For he will be to scared to admit that he cares when I wrote him a note and told him how I felt it was like I was about to melt!!!! But now to him I don't exist My true love, my best friend and the one I miss!!!!! (This is for CK From TMK) To whom i have a crush on and we were once best friends When you turned me down When you turned me down I felt nothing but despair I was looking at you from a window but you didn't care!!

I got more than I expected though. MUCH MORE!!! We have something I was scared of, something I knew nothing about. I got use to it though; in no time at all. You made it easy, I thought it would be much harder. The most amazing thing though is that you did nothing at all. I fell in love with you, you and only you. I know in the past things were not quite right, but the past doesnt matter now. We're starting a new life together, this one, I promise, will last forever No more starting over, no more finding someone new. We'll live a life thats true, I'll spend the rest of my life with you!!!!! To: Chad From: Leah A Truckers Wife I sit here each and every day Wandering if he will ever come back my way We live together but separately And it's very hard for me to belive That he still only loves me He travels from state to state Hopeing when he crosses the scales he won't be over weight Does he think of me? While he is on the long hard road from sea to sea It's not easy being a Truckers wife You rarely get to see the love of your life So many days go by And all i can seem to do is cry I really want to see the love of my life But thats that..... When your a Trucker's wife........ Written by Rhonda Hooper April 24 2001 Summer`s Rain Walking in a summer`s rain Down a winding country lane The rain falls gently on my face Upon the leaf a soft embrace. So soft it hits the target true Wet blanket covering all I view. Smiling are the flowers there They gather raindrops in their hair. They nod and wave their leaft stems To gather up these moisture gems. The sun peeps out behind a cloud His rays soon warmed the dampened ground. My eyes at once did feast upon A rainbow`s arc just further on. How beautiful this world had seemed Just like the loveliest of dreams. The memory`s stored for quieter thoughts Of all the happiness it brought. When I sit down or feel alone, Remembering all that nature`s shown New faith springs forth when I shall see The rainclouds gathering there for me. Yvonne Sparkes Dear Precious One I know you don't know much about the world and you will some day coming into my world and here to stay. Within that first breath you take and that first cry you make will always be treasured from your own mother's sake. Your father and I are looking for your arival for this we must say We love you baby with all the love of our days. Now lying here on my bed watching my body grow for what God would love to show. We all are his children in his bright big sky, watching His children as they go by. All to the thanks of an Angel that came from this sky. ~Jamie~ HELP WANTED I look around the world to see People starving needlessly Garbage that's strewn all around Homeless sleeping on the ground Oil slicks floating on the seas Haze and smog in our cities Precious rainforests gone away More red tide from day to day Farmer's disappearing land Whole species die at our command Gangs who roam all through the night Only we can make it right Shirley Morgan Allow My Answer Allow My Answer Yes i am a child A young adult if you will allow a mere mortal...a question forming in the mind of the reader Yes, i am intellectual...an intellect If i am allowed to boast...yet i am humble as a black woman...i am grateful as an unexpected philosopher a prophet ...If you will allow... No i do not worship on Sundays in an enclosed room...with four walls... a leaky roof...yes i question answers although i know you will question my knowledge of filtered words you will distort what i project so that No i will not be allowed because, Yes, i am a child..bold ..a mere speck..a black dot But I am breathing...just as You Even though, yes, I am a Child Vernita Lynnette Hill Copyright ©2001 Vernita Hill SKY COLORS Paint me a picture Morning delight Remembering all day This beautiful sight Red, crimson and violet Sweeping on by Colors so gorgeous I wish I could fly Paint me a picture Evening draws near Dream that tomorrow More colors appear Shirley Morgan Desert Reflections The brown desert earth catches My eye as I drive west Through strange exciting land Cactus blooms in flaming glory In colors yet unnamed Once moccasins walked these Lonely, desolate trails, And left footprints carved In dead rock surfaces. There's nothing green in This forsaken place. Through decades of sun, snow And hail, only the cactus Whispers its secrets. Author: Betty Curl Trapped In Silence Numbers in a circle One to Zero... A tiny electric box Stares at me in silence. An hour becomes eternity I have a cigarette, Then another. Violent scenes from across The room do not distract me. I'm a speck of sand Surrounded by inventions. I talk to God, He doesn't hear... There's only the silence, The deadly silence. Author: Betty Curl Ode to a Woman She picks up shirts and washes dishes Changes diapers and gives tremendous Devotes all time to husband and children Her love and generosity are a given. She's soft enough to cry and to feel Yet strong enough to be real Made out of flesh and bone Not out of steel and stone. She's independent and no man can own her Only needing him to love and to hold her She has a mind of her own So that her gifts and talents be made known She's beautiful and artistic in all her ways From her family and home she never strays She is a woman, treat her like so For her love you will always know Buy her a rose, show that you care Let her know you will always be there Show her you love her, even in little ways For these are the things she cherishes all her days. For She Is Woman Submitted 04/17/2001 THE COLOR OF LONELY Day turns to night in a soft shade of pink. Is this the color of lonely? The morning hour quickly comes, vibrant reds, yet undone. Is this the color of lonely? The clouds go by, so brilliant, so white. Is this the color of lonely? A sky filled with gray, as a storm appears. Is this the color of lonely? The color of lonely lies deep in my heart. A touch of your hand could set it apart. What true colors you would find, If you would only look at what you’ve left behind. A broken heart so shattered and blue Only waiting for a word from you. The depth of my soul aches for your touch Could it be I ask too much? A candles flame gives a soft amber glow. Is this the color of lonely? A child’s first painting, the colors so mixed, yet made with love. Is this the color of lonely? The leaves of autumn so muted with gold. Is this the color of lonely? The snow capped mountains under first snow. Is this the color of lonely? As I slowly drift to sleep and the darkness engulfs me, That’s the color of lonely. As I hear an “I love you” whispered from across the room, That’s the color of lonely. Submitted 4/17/2001 The Sprytling'sDance Peeking from the branches, Sliding down the dew wet leaves, Sipping honey from sweet flowers And flying beside the bees. Beguiling bluebirds into play, Away from home and work, Tipping bowls of creamery, Hiding as I smirk. Sewing dreams of mischief, In a lovely maiden's sleep, Of dancing in a fairy's ring, With an elfin prince she meets. Finding mischief where I will, While dancing in the air. As ladybug and butterfly spill And muss my golden hair. Running twixt the raindrops Laughing in the sun Chasing after puppies And having lots of fun. Till Wild rose stops my game And snares me on a thorn. Making me feel tamer, Until tomorrows morn . By Aurora Desiree'Rose Love, Life, and Sadness Your wicked good looks Blinding to the eyes Made me finally Realize How much I want you How you make my life whole But you're not the one For me, I'm told I stare at you From across the room You look so hot in your shirt From Fruit of the Loom Standing behind you You smell so good But seeing you with her Changes my mood I go from bliss to tears Simple as that My hopes and fears clash together Like a ball and a bat So I sit and think Think and sit How much I love you And cry in a fit No one believes me That my fellings are true But I know in my heart That I should be with you by Sarah Riedener For more great poetry like this, click here! |
