Here are some of my favorite poems
"Yesterday"

It seems just like yesterday
that we first started to speak
and I never knew what to say
everytime my knees got weak

And now here we are
together hand in hand
in your eyes I stare
with you I will always stand

No one knows about tomorrow
but I see us together
spending my life with you
me and you forever

"Jesus"

He hung on a rugged piece of wood
naked He hung there, 'til He died
He hung there because He understood
what He died for 33 years, He tried

He was placed in a borrowed tomb
there He wrestled with Satan
He told Satan about his doom
for three days He wrestled with him

On the third day woman came to the tomb
that the stone was rolled away
the guards were on the ground, and
an angel saying  "He is risen today"

"Faithful One"

When things are going wrong
I know that You're there
You have always been the Faithful One
even when I feel that no one cares

No matter how I feel
and whatever happens
You show me a love that's real
a love that has no condition

I can always count on You
and in You I place my trust
to be there no matter what I do
a strong faith is a must

"The Priceless Gift"

The priceless gift of life is love,
For with the help of God above
Love can change the human race
And make this world a better place--
For love dissolves all hate and fear
And makes our vision bright and clear
So we can see and rise above
Our pettiness on wings of love.

Helen Steiner Rice
"Remember"

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you planned:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late counsel then or pray-
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

"Afraid to Fall"

I'm in 'like'
And afraid to stand close to the edge.
I fell once
And I'm afraid to trust again.

I don't know what makes me think
I'm any different to you.
If I place my heart in your hands;
How can I be sure
it won't be mistreated or abused?

I was taught not to hold back;
To give it my all.
But I'm so afraid to fall.

Before I get in too deep
ANd I'm unable to turn around;
I want to know
you're will to hold your ground.

Please tell me it's ok.
Take hold of my hand
And know I'll be there for you
When you're unable to stand.

This is up to you.
It's your call.
If you can be trusted,
Then I'm ready to fall.

"Take my Hand"

Take my trembling hand
let's go for a walk
sometimes it's very hard
for me to even talk

When I see you in pain
I feel exactly the same
I know what you're going through

I love to see you smile
your smile brightens my day
if I go away for a while
I count the days 'til I come your way

Take my hand
walk with me
I want you to understand
exactly what I see

If you could, but once
see what I see in you
I would give you the chance
so you could see it too
