My Poems

My poems are special to me
Each has it's own meaning you see
Though the person they refer to may be no more
Or the relationship that was has become a closed door
My poems are memories I have collected from my past
That I have sealed in words so they will always last!

Time

Time last not forever,
But can Quickly pass you by...

Time can pass you in the twinkle of an eye,
And can not be stopped no matter how hard one might try,
As it passes you can not fight it
So you must bid it a fair goodbye,
As it becomes a memory it is okay to cry,
As long as you can still hold your head high
And pass through all of the worldly lies

Time can pass faster than any one person can run
So just take the days one by one
Conquer problems as they come,
Say what you feel and do not be afraid of sounding dumb,
Leave your work in the office where it should be done,
Take a walk in the sun,
Whatever you do, make sure you are always having fun.

Time can pass before your line has been cast,
It is hard to believe your future will soon be your past
Time seems to go by all too fast,
So do not hide behind a personality masque,
Do not take life on as a mere task,
But be yourself and live each day as if it were your last,
Why is it I have told you all of this, you might ask?

Time last not forever,
But can quickly pass!

The Power of love

The power of love is a force from  within
Brought out by a very special friend
So how do you know when you've found the power?
You've found it when...
A minute alone turns into an hour
His smile makes your skin tingle
the way he plays with your hair makes your heart jingle
His gentle kiss takes your breath away
And you don't have to worry about what to say
Silence some how turns into uniqe conversation
A mere touch becomes a warm sensation
The words he whispers makes your heart flutter
When your down he  pulls you out  of the gutter
A simple glance seems top linger on
It doesn't matter what your doing
As  long as your in his arms
The world can do you no harm
Your feelings words could never express
Just to be near him brings you so much happiness
The power of love is ever so free
And you will feel it deep in your heart when the power is meant to be!

- Chelle Patterson
Haven't  You Heard?

Haven't  you heard
There is power in God's word?
When life throws you a bad day
Just take a moment  tp pray
When life seems to much to bare
Remember God  always cares
No matter how great the problem, pain, or fear
You can call on God for he is always near
Heven't you heard
There is power in God's word!

Daddy's Gone Now

The month is one,
I've just been born.
I have ten fingers,
ten toes,
two eyes,
two ears,
And I have a nose.
I'm as healthy as can be,
Gee how lucky I must be to have a mommy and daddy who love me.

The month is two,
People are coming from every where
Just to see me.
Daddy has spoiled me rotten and grandma too.
Gee how lucky i must be
To have a family that loves me.
Daddy tosses me  in the air,
I know I'm always safe in his tender loving care!

The month is three,
something awful has happen to me.
For daddy has gone and left mommy and me all alone.
They buried him in the ground
where he is now to stay.
It's just not fair Daddy's allowed to leave Mommy and me all alone that way.

What did I do that was so wrong?
Maybe it's because I kept him up all night with my tears
Or because I spit up on him yesterday....
It doesn't matter now,
Daddy's gone and forever he'll stay.

Now I've watched many years pass me by
And It's sad Daddy had to die
But I know he watches me from above
And is my guardian angel who protects me with all his love!

I Can Not

I can not touch you
For your touch is deceiving,
For if you'd reject me it would be too much,
So I can not touch you.

I can not hear you,
For the sweet words you whisper are deceiving,
For your words might hurt too much,
So I can not hear you.

I can not see you,
For the way you look at me is  deceiving,
For your glare might hurt me too much,
So I can not see you.

I can not trust you,
For you are deceiving,
For your lies hurt too much,
So I can not trust you.

I can not love you,
For our relationship is deceiving,
For you hurt me too much,
So I will not love you.

Love Is A Gamble

They say love is a gamble
One in which your emotions pay the price
For....
One wrong roll of the dice,
It can turn as cold as ice;
If you flip over the wrong card,
His love may grow hard;
If the wrong number you happen to choose,
His love you may lose.

In the gam of love the stakes are high
There is no room for silly lies.
Your life love will enhance,
If you let your heart take the chance.
You make the call,
But must be carefiul not to fall.
This poem isn't just for show,
For I really know...

I played the game
Became another name;
I chose the wrong way,
Now the price my heart must pay;
I should have seen the signs,
If only I'd read between the lines;
Now it's too late,
I guess that's fate.
We gave our love up without a fight,
This wasn't really right;
Maybe I should have stayed and fought,
But one can't get back what's already lost,
Sad to say our hearts pay the final cost.

Wagering your heart,
Is it really right?
Leaving yourself open to pain,
Is there anything to gain?
The game is fun....
Until all is said and done.

Love causes a lot of miseries,
But isn't it worth the many memories?
The moments we once shared,
Show how much we really cared.
The good times my heart will cherish,
The rest my memory will someday perish.

The game of love,
The ultimate gamble from above.
Often played,
Seldom won;
Regret it?
Never!
Remember it?
Forever!
Play the game, gamble again?
Someday,
After the pain of my last gamble fades away!

Stop, All Is Never Lost

At times it seems the world is dim
As my life continues to spin
Out of control it goes
spinning into a new low
I know i must get a grip
But it's so hard when I'd rather quit.

At times it seems as if nothing ever goes right
And my life is just a constant fight
I feel like I don't belong any where
Like there is no one out there who cares
I see my life as an open sore
A bomb falling apart at the core.

At times I'd like to lock myself in a room
So i no longer have to hide this cloud of gloom
I feel the world is against me
If only they could see
I can't carry all of their problems on my back
And my constant happiness is just an act.

At times I feel like I'm trapped in a cage
This causes a lingering rage
There appears to be no way out
This makes me want to shout.

Now it's time to STOP and count to ten
And rethink my situation again.

At times I seem to be hanging by a thread of hope
Intertwined with faith that helps me cope
And during those times I think I'd rather die
God lifts my spirits high
He is the best and only way
To give me strength  to make it through another day!
