POEM TITLED: TIME

POEM SERIES #5

Tick tock…tick tock…
Life is counting down on your internal clock.

Memories that feel as if they occurred yesterday
turn to flashes of moments that seem to fade away.

People you once knew
walk by without a clue.

The times you once shared
exist as if you were never there.

Years fly…friends die…
and you never know when you’ll say your last goodbye.

Oh, how I wish I could turn back time,
spend it with loved ones and cherish what once was mine.

Or to go back even more,
being a kid in a candy store.

How I miss the way I used to feel
on Christmas day when Santa was real.

But back to reality…back to today,
family is scarce and memories continue to fade away.

Tick tock…tick tock…
How I wish I could control this clock.

POEM TITLED: WHAT LIFE SHOULD BE

POEM SERIES #4.

To learn while still a child

What life is meant to be

To know it goes beyond myself

Is so much more than me

To overcome the tragedies

To survive the hardest times

To face those moments filled with pain

And still manage to be kind

To fight for those who can’t themselves

To always share my light

With those who wander in the dark

To love with all my might

To still stand up with courage

Though standing on my own

To still get up and face each day

Even when I feel alone

To try and understand the ones

That no one cares to know

And make them feel some value

When the world has let them go

To be an anchor, strong and true

That person, loyal to the end

To be a constant source of hope

To my family and my friends

To live a life of decency

To share my heart and soul

To always say I’m sorry

When I’ve harmed both friend and foe

To be proud of whom I’ve tried to be

And this life I choose to live

To make the most of everyday

By giving all I’m able to give

To me that’s what life should be

To me that’s what is for

To take what God has given me And make it so much more
