A PRAYER ON A WING

A PRAYER ON A WING

Let me
Ride above the Clouds.

Let me
Glide on the Breath of God.

Let me
Face the Morning Sun
To see
The Glory of your Son.

Let me
Feel your Hands
Beneath my Wings
Knowing
I am Held up High.

Let me
See your World as you
Let me
Smile at all you do.

Let me
Pray with you
Each Day
That I am Always
on your Wing.

Guide me
Through the Storms
That come,
Keep me
From Falling down.

Lift me
To the Highest
as I Soar with Thee.

Take me
Through this World
With you
Until my Wings
Turn into Doves.

And you are
Holding me with Love.

TO TIE THE KNOT

TO TIE THE KNOT

When You Get Old

Have a Bridge

Beneath Your Teeth.


You Can Take

The Highway

To Guide

The String Through.


I Thought

I Would Give You

A New One

To Go

With The Start.


May You Never Be Tied Up

May You Never Tie Up Each

May it Last Until Forever

Till Your Off Your Feet.


May it Straighten Out Your Ways

If You Find Yourselves in Knots

May it Last Through The Seasons
 
Always Be As Strong.


For If
You Ever Need To Tug
 
Tug At Me Instead

If You Ever Find A Twist

Remember I Am Tied.


I Am A Shoe Lace

What Do You Think Of This?


I Always WILL Be There For You

If You Need Me For A Bridge

Or Come Show You

I Am The One Tied .


If You Need Me To Expand

I Am Only One Size

You Will Have To Understand

I Am Only That Much Tall.


Bigger Than My String

For My Heart's Inside My Cord

Why Do You Think?

They Made Me Strong .


I Have To Last Until You ARE Gone

One Shoe Lace To Tie The Knot.

A Poeatreeman

If You Tug at Me,
I Can Always,
Keep You Strong
One Two One Two
See How Easy
The Excise is Going..

Getting Strong Yet?
Tug Some More
Don't Cut Me Off..

I Need To Know .
You Care
To Keep
Me Going

Finally
I Can Relax ,
I Feel Like
I Was
On A String

No Wonder
I Am A Yo  Yo.

MAY YOU

MAY YOU

May you never
have to see war

May you never
fight again

May you
find a friend

Who will last
to the end

May you
find peace

Always keep it
in your heart

May you find
love
never be apart

May you
go through the seasons

Bringing
changes for the best

May you never
change the reason

Without
seeing the rest

May you
know wisdom

Not be a fool
for wealth

May you share
all you have

Knowing
you have done
your best

May you
find God

To always
walk with you

May you
know life

For without
what would you do?

DYING OF LOVE

WHAT PRICE LOVE?

What is the Price
of Love?       

When a Heart
bleeds
from Tears and Hurt

Torn
from itself
Ripped with Pain

Left
to Heal the Hurt

Pain
is not the Worst

I Felt it all,
Tears and Aches

The Cares
that Came
Left their Marks

The Words
that Said it
all too Well

I Care
not Love you
til the End

Yet
Love will Hold
it all inside

Taking
it to the Bitter End

Why
does Love
Hold on to me?

I Gave
it Heart
When no one did

I Took
it in
Shared its Love

I Felt
it all
Both Soft and Sweet

I Felt
the Bitterness
when
Things went wrong

I Felt
the Pain
wrenching
through my Soul

Oh !
I would
not give it up
for Gold

This Treasure
that Showed me
just what I have

A Life
to find it
just One more Time

This Sweetness
that is more
than Gold

One Heart
is all
I need to Hold

It Fills
me with
the Price of Love

The Cares
to know
when I am Loved

The Pain
that Lets me
know I Cared

The Happiness
I have
when I Shared

The Sorrow
knowing
Love can Hurt

The Tears
showing
the Birth of Love.

A THOUGHT!

Life
is the Chest I Hold

Al I Have
will not be Gold

Yet
Precious it will be
just to Hold

To find Love
that will Carry through

To Open up
Share in its Wealth

To
Have once is Wealth untold.

Dedicated To Pamela

A Poeatreeman
   
There is
only one Heart, 
I Care to Love

The one
that God
brought to me

There is
only one Heart,
I can
Share in its Wealth

The World
that Holds
a place for me

There is only
one Care,
that will Carry
me through

To Care for it
in all I do.

AN INCH WORM

How am I Going to
Learn Teach

If I don't Get Deep
into The Subject?

I am just
A Book Worm

Trying to get to the Core

I find Myself in Middle Class

I hope
To Make The Grade

Try not
to cut Me Short

I am only
An Inch Worm

Trying to get
to the Highest Point

Grade Me for My Studies

Not the Size I am

For My Heart
is as Big as anyone

Who is trying
to get through it All.

A THOUGHT!

It may take Me time
to get ahead

Yet I will Crawl
to reach Success

The only thing
that will stop me now

Is My will
not to Pass The Test.
 
Dedicated To Sherry (The Teach)

A Poeatreeman

If I Cut To The Core

I May Expose Myself
Too Much

I Don't Want To Fall Apart

By Opening Myself Up

I May Come Up Short

Yet I Will Try
To Be Strong

For The Length I Am
is not Too Long

Yet The Size of My Heart

Is Ten Feet Tall..

I am only an inch worm

Trying to reach success.

PASSAGE OF TIME IN GOD'S HANDS

DOES TIME WAIT ? NOT FOR A MOMENT;


IT'S WOUND BY GOD'S HANDS ETERNALLY.

HUMANOID You May Have To Go Back A Long Way To Find A Humanoid . He May Be More Human Than You Think More Humane, More Human, Than You Care To Know . What Was Left Behind and What Came Forth? What is Past And What is Present? Who is Who And What is Present? . Who is There And Where are You? That is The Question? . The Answer When You Find Who is Present . Humanoid or Human Which One Came Forth? Which Stayed Behind That is The Question?  The Answer When You Find Who Questioned?  Are We Animals in The Present and The Humans in The Past?  Who is Clubbing Whom To Death? Who is Serving Humanity The Best?  Who is Writing On The Wall This is The End Of Humankind?  Can We Have Hope At All What Are Humans Doing?  Trying To Set Life Back Before We Became Human  What A Wonder This Would Be To See Ourselves Again To Find Out They're Human and We The Animals . For We Came This Far . What An Irony it Would Be To See Us Become Human Once Again . What Was Best in The Past Can We Bring It To The Present ? What Was Worst it is Best To Leave it in The Past ? Let it Die Because We Learned That We Are Human Once Again . Grow With Heart and Not With Clubs . What A Way To Make A Smash What An End By Clubbing Ignorance To Extinction. A Poeatreeman What A Headache it Would Be If We Learned That We Are Humanoids . From Extinction To The Present From The Present To Extinction . There Are Humans in Both . No Clubs! Swing A Tree .

HUMAN AFTER ALL | POEATREEMAN on Xanga

THE BRIDGE OF BEYOND; SOMEWHERE IN TIME

THE BRIDGE OF BEYOND?

I am in the middle of nowhere
Yet somewhere I see.

I am at the edge of Eternity
Yet I see Today.

I am at the start of here
Yet Tomorrow will pass my way.

I am at the crossroads of Yesterday
Yet finding where I've been.

I am between here and Eternity
Yet traveling where?

I am at the Bridge of Beyond
Yet one step to take me across.

I am at the end of time
Yet passing time
Beyond all measures.

I am here where I began.

A THOUGHT!

I am here when
I know where is
I am there
When I know what is

Dedicated To Angie

A Poeatreeman

No time to pass,
when left with self
No hands to move,
When time has stopped
No time unless,
I push ahead
No clock to move,
I'm faced with self
One Time to set,
Before it's gone
One hour ahead,
It's not too long
No time to wind,
Just pass Today
No time Tomorrow
I am here Today
Beyond Tomorrow,
I'll find no way.

A ROSE

A Rose

A Symbol of a Rose
The flower of our love.

A thorn to pierce
the strongest heart.

A petal  to feel 
your velvet  walls
A stem
to see it all together.

A Rose
to see
the heart it holds
A flower to see
it bloom forever.

A Rose
that takes
my breath away
A scent that draws
me into her.

A fragrance
of sweet delight.

A Rose
that finds me
in her spell
A Rose
I'll hold for life..

A Poeatreeman 
              
A Flower
for the Heart.

A flower faced
with life
Will surely feel. 
The petals fall.

A flower faced
with heart
Will surely
feel it all.

A flower
faced
with tenderness
Will never
feel the cold.

A flower
faced with care
Will still have
thorns to bare.

A flower
will always
blossom
When love
is nurtured
by care.

A flower
fed on tears
will nourish,
The Rose
for years..


The dew
on its petals
Are the
teardrops.

Raining
on love.

reflecting
the feelings
Shown to love.

The freshness.

Will
stay as long
as loved.

A Rose
will never
be old
For love
is young..

It is in
our memories
That
reminds us.

A flame
is forever young.

Remember!

The first sparks
It burned
within you.

Fervent
as
the morning sun.

Moistened
by the dew
Resting
on its petals.

It quenched,

It’s thirst
for you.

The
nectar
of sweet love.

Longing
to draw you in.

Touching
you forever.

For you let it in.

WHAT IS LOVE ?

WHAT IS LOVE?

What is love?
The gift to give

What is sorrow?
The loss of it

What is heart?
The treasures of love

What is care?
The way to find love

What is pain?
The hurt tearing at heart

What is God?
The heart of all

What is feelings?
the sense of caring

What is tears?
The cost of love

What is love?
A life of caring

What is caring?
A life long love.

A Poeatreeman

One tear, one care, one love
Can bring me all the pain
One heart to put it all in
One feeling to feel it all
One God who gave us all.

IS NOT LOVE

IS NOT LOVE?

Is not love
a child?
It toys
with my heart

Is not love
a puppy?
It plays
around inside

Is not love
a child?
It is
as innocent
as a doe

Is not love
happy?
Its smile
goes through
your heart

Is not love
caring
When
no one
else does?

Is not love
sharing
When
you feel it
all inside?

Is not love
pouring
When
it washes
through
your heart?

Is not love
grand
When
it takes you
to the stars?

Is not love
beautiful
When
I feel
the smile
from God?

Is not love
loving
When
it takes me
to its heart?

A THOUGHT!

If there
is no one there
to hold you
Just reach
for God instead

If there
is no one there
to care for you
Care
for God instead

If there
is no one there
to take your heart
Give it to all
who don't have love.

Dedicated to Leo
One love sick puppy
milk bones won't do

Your Friend a  Poeatreeman

The only pain
I cannot feel
Is that pain
that has no love

The only hurt
that really hurts
Is the feelings
I let go

COURT PLAY

COURT PLAY


Love Games Took Me all the way
I had no faults in games I played
The Net caught Me and Let Me Win
The Court was Mine To Lose or Win
I stayed in and served well
I Took Love to Match and Win
I Ace Love to make a Point
I Matched its Game and I was in

A Poeatreeman
This Court sometimes is not always Clay
I cannot shape it the way I want
I must Play and Try My Best
I must squeeze out all To Win The Test

Dedication
To All The Love Ever Played
To All The Matches Won By Love
To All The Love Served Both Ways
To You I Say Court Your Love
Keep Your Heart In All Your Play
Love Will Serve You All The Days

A Poet's Note
It Took Love To Win The Set
I Served it out and Matched its Play
Love Took Me All The Way
Now I have a better hand
Not always will it be so well
Yet Love is always a hand
It's how I face the Court to Play
It's Love I Served That Helps My Aim

GOD HAS SET ME FREE

I Could not
Stand in Front

I Could not
Sit where
I Wanted

I Had To Go
To The Back
and Weep

I was Held
Down by
Indifference

Pushed
back by Race

I Could
not move
to The Front

For
I was
Blocked
by Hatred

God
moved me
Ahead
Gave
me a Seat

I Rode
in His Chariot

Did
not Weep

I was
Happy to see

His
Golden Seat

I am here
for Eternity

With
Love as
my Guide

I am Free!

For
God is

He
Placed me

A WISE OLD BIRD | POEATREEMAN on Xanga

A WISE OLD BIRD

You did not get Wise
Because you are Older
You got Older
because you're Wise

We all exist

A Wise Old Owl
is not in a tree
Not if He is Wise
to what He sees

He may
Hoot and Holler
If He is Wise
He would be Quiet

Take  what is in the View

Know
When and not  to Speak
Know
Who Perches Beside you

It is one Thing
To Get Under  your Feathers
Another Thing to Lose Them

If I am Wise
to What is There
I will Keep what I Have
And Grow with Life

Maybe one day

I will be
a Wise Old Bird

If I do not Ask
too much
Only Expect to Glide
For it is Not
Easy Being Here

Through Wisdom
I Can Learn
I am better
For I have a Chance
to Grow my Feathers

Hoot and Holler  if I Want
What Bird am I
That is Wise Enough?

I am Still in a Puzzle

Trying

To Find where I am
Supposed to Be

A Wise Old Owl
Once said to Me

Learn your ABCs

Then Start with Wisdom
to See What is Me.

BEAUTIFUL LOVE POEMS | POEATREEMAN on Xanga

A Garden of Love

Love Flowers,
through all Seasons
Spring, Summer,
Fall, and Winter
Pain, Sorrow,
Care, and Tears
It Blossoms always 
when
Love is there

Today,

Hold
all the Garden Tools

The Days of Childhood
The Days of Youth
The Days of Adulthood
The Days, when there are few
The Days of Yesteryears

When
Love was born anew.

They were
all in The Garden
When
Love came through
I’ve, taken  my cares
And placed those

Where?

In each Heart I found
I planted Love
That I  would  have    
A  Flower Growing.

My Garden,
is the World to me.

I will, till it to eternity
Care for it  until it blooms.

A Thought!
Care
will till the feelings
Tears
will feed the Heart
Sorrow
will wilt the soul
Love
will make it grow
Heart
will hold the ground
God
will bless you
When
you bring, him in to shine.

Dedicated to The World

A Poeatreeman

The World
is My Garden.

Care must be given
To all who are here.

Each
Flower has its place
I
cannot pick one
Without
the others too.

For
there are no Bouquets
When
Love is not for all
The Beauty of The Flowers

Are 
The Colors of all Mankind.
