FOR THE LOVE OF MOTHER - by Justine King

 

FOR  THE  LOVE  OF  MOTHER by  Justine King  When I was a child, My mommy could do anything. Scare away monsters, Make bubbles in the bath, Kiss away the hurt from a booboo. Sometimes she was too busy to play, But that was ok. Games weren't really her thing anyway. When I was a preteen, My mom could do a lot of things. Paint my nails, Braid my hair, Teach me about makeup. Sometimes she got frustrated with me, But that was ok. I was pretty pokey. When I was a teenager, My mother couldn't do anything right! Bail me out of trouble, Buy me cool enough clothes, Let me stay out late. Sometimes she tried to control me, And I hated it! She couldn't mind her own business. Now that I'm an adult, I realize that my mother is human. She paid bills, Raised children, And always got supper on the table. Sometimes she messed up, But that was ok. She did her best, and always, always loved us.

A FRIEND I CAN COUNT ON - by Joanna Fuchs

A  FRIEND I  CAN  COUNT  ON    by   Joanna Fuchs When troubles come a callin’ As those gremlins often do, And my spirit keeps on fallin’ Till I feel low down and blue… When I look around for comfort, Someone quickly jumps to mind, One who always will support me, And whose words are always kind. Who will make my mood feel lighter, Who’ll help beat my troubles back, He/She makes the sun shine brighter And gets my spirit back on track. Who helps the road seem straighter, And helps me get around each bend, Who makes each day seem greater, And that someone is you, my friend.

 

A BEAUTIFUL MEMORY - by Ashley Ann Bellow

A  BEAUTIFUL   MEMORY by  Ashley Ann Bellow As I look around my room Seeing pictures of a time before, My mind drifts Reminding me of the past. Of a hot day in May, Dressed in elegant attire, Dining out and picture taking... A highlight of High School. Yet, I was the one you chose  To spend this memory with. I will always remember that night And remember how handsome you looked. With a twinkle in your eye, You shined up like a movie star, With a night on the town in a matching sports car. Yet, you chose me to spend this memory with... Out of the crowd of girls, that flock to your side, You chose me. I never had a chance to tell you thank you, Thank you for such a beautiful memory.

YOU'RE MY NUMBER ONE ! - by Rose Bloom

YOU'RE  MY  NUMBER  ONE ! by Rose  Bloom I choose you... In the whole wide world, from the stars, from the sun, from the earth, You are my guiding light. From every being, you are the one i love. You are my destiny. My hopes and dreams are all in you. My heart found its way to you, And forever i will stay with you, Giving you my all, my love, my world. I love you like no one ever will, You're the reason that makes life worth. You and i will forever be... You and i will never part, I promise you i'll always be the place that you call home. I'll leave you no regrets, i'll cherish you my dear. Thank you for loving me like you do.

THANK YOU - by Sylvester Masa Motadi - South Africa

THANK  YOU by   Sylvester  Masa  Motadi - South Africa How gentle did your voice lead my way When my mouth is closed and I have nothing to say How sweet did your hands wash my eyes Enabling me to the sunrise When I think the road of coping is too long You give me your opinion and prove me wrong When I say I have no power to move on You gently say with your voice "Lets carry on" You take me from the ground to the sky Where you also give me wings to fly You clear my way and throw away my fears Fears which are likely to bring me tears Yes I care that our love is not a game And I wish that things remain the same.

THANK YOU - by ckyh

THANK  YOU by   ckyh Thank you for your patronage but I want my life back. Return it to me, if you please and I'll be on my way. As disappointments ebb away, so must expectations wane. Perhaps, only then, will the hauntings recede. I can do the giving - unconditionally But I don't need your 'kindness'. All I ask for is a little bit of mercy. Spare me, spare me, spare me... I can't see through incessant tears, Don't want to hide in the darkness and Upon enlightenment, have what's left of my heart Grated and pulverised by your heel. I want to see colours without associations. I want to paint over your gift of blue. I want some salvation; stop the self-loathing But most of all, I wanted to love you.
