WHO GIVES A HOOT




WHO GIVES A HOOT?


A wise old bird
who gave no hoot


Owl
would you do it?


I would
give a hoot,


To show
I cared


I would
go out on a limb,


To let
you know
I am there.


I
may
get ruffled,


if
I don't try


I will
never know
what
it is to fly.


Unless
I take
the steps
to do it.


Life
is there
not just
to view it.


It is up
to me
to share
in its
wonders.


It is up
to me
to care
for it all.


Give a hoot, 
if
I am ever
to feel it


Give
heart and love,


life
will come
through it.


Don't
flutter
around ,


Unless
you're on
a training mission.


Hoot
and holler
if you care.


It starts
your engine
to get you there.


I am
not a bird
nor a plane


Why
am I taking
off this way?


I
am on a runway,


It's my heart
that is flying about.


I better
hold on
until the end.


I
must have care,


If
I am ever
to come
through it.


A THOUGHT!

I have heart, 
that can
endear the worst.


I have love, 
that will
take the fall.


I have care, 
for pain
is not alone.


I have God, 
to help me
through it all...;


Dedicated To Jennifer

A Poeatreeman

Love
is nesting
in my heart.


Born
from feelings, 
when tears
fell out.


I lost not love,
but gained caring.


For
my love grew out.


Now
I am there,
to share with all.


holding
it once more.


For
caring brought it out.


Now
love will be once more.


Tears
won't be without..
