POEM OF LIFE
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay...

Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the lord.

RISK
To laugh is to risk appearing a fool
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To reach out for another is to risk involvement
To expose your feelings is to risk
exposing your true self
To place your ideal, your dreams before a crowd
is to risk their loss
To love is to risk not being loved in return

To live is to risk dying
To hope is to risk despair
To try is to risk failure

Yet risks must be taken
Because the greatest hazard in life is risking
NOTHING

The person who risks nothing
Does nothing
Has nothing
Is nothing

Self-realisation is harder than
Self Sacrifice

FEELINGS (ONE OF A KIND)

I feel love, but I cannot show it
And cannot say it
I feel fear, but
I was frightened out of showing it long ago
I feel sad, but
My eyes have forgotten how to cry
I feel everything is my problem
To help to solve, but
My help is not wanted
I say things I feel I should, but
They are taken the wrong way
I feel I must show friendship, but
That is not wanted
I feel I can help, but
I am pushed away
And locked out
Because
I don't belong
I am lonely
For I am different
Distant
And one of a kind.

I SEE YOU REVISITED
If I could just write poetry, I�d put it all to verse,
and hope you�d see another man but not think that he�s worse.
I�d tell you how as I lay there, the memories flooded back,
like the tears that welled up in my eyes, leaving crystal tracks.

The colour of the furnishings, the corridors, the smell,
came rushing like a forest fire and returned me to that hell.
I tried so hard to understand, I looked but couldn�t find,
the horror that you must have felt but wasn�t on my mind.

For we all have our own demons, as we try to serve our God,
that�s why we are the way we are and not peas in a pod.
So, until we wear each others� shoes and walk a mile or two,
we�ll never know the others� fears, we�ll never have a clue.

But there�s one thing I do know, which I�ll say for what it�s worth,
what you see is what you get, there�s no secrets to unearth.
So don�t be fooled by how I look, �cause looks can be deceiving,
and often what you think you see is just what you�re believing.

Now I can�t help feeling angry, but you know I have just cause -
I�m losing all I worked for, sweating blood out through my pores.
If only I could make you see the distance that I feel,
is not in my imagination, but something very real.

I see it in their faces and feel it in their looks,
the innocence of children as it draws them to your hooks.
It doesn�t really matter if you say it isn�t so,
or that you didn�t mean it, or that�s how I made them grow.

For we each had our own role to play, the woman and the man,
the carer and the provider � it was our fate but not our plan.
And all while you resented me, because I wasn�t there,
did you ever think to ask yourself how I could be everywhere?

So with twenty twenty vision now, it�s easy to look back,
and dream of how things might have been - no grey, just white and black.
Yet even when I had the time, to wear a different hat.
the chasm in between us, had put an end to that.

Just like a train runs on its tracks and fish swim in the sea,
I can�t veer off and live a life that�s alien to me.
That�s not to say that I can�t be that consummate man,
if you only gave me reason, I wonder if you can?

SUCCESS

With your body, open your mind,
Bring up the courage you have left behind.
To have this strength,
To keep the faith,
You can fight the odds
against your fate.
Just believe in yourself
For the dream is alive,
Don't hide your emotions,
Keep up your pride.
You can achieve success
In everything you do,
Just let yourself go
It's all up to YOU!

LOVE IS

Love they say is patient,
Love they say is kind.
It sees beyond another's faults
For Love they say is blind.

Love takes away the me and mine,
Instead it's us and we.
Yours and mine is ours now
For Love is unity.

Love will not deminish,
Or rust or fade with years.
But it will gain it's strength
from time, from laughter, joy and tears.

Love is God's own gift to us,
A present from above.
He gives us peace,
He gives us joy,
But first He gave us Love.
