Poems

A mother is special, she’s more than a friend. Whenever you need her, she’ll give you a hand. She’ll lead you and guide you in all that you do. Try all that she can just to see you get through. Good times and bad times, she’s there for it all. Say head up, be proud, and always stand tall. She’ll …

On Easter we celebrate love, love coming down from heaven, love blanketing the earth in a transforming embrace; unique and infinite love, giving more than we can imagine for us, to cleanse our sin, a perfect sacrifice, Lamb of God, the walking, talking Word. He is teacher, role model, friend, this God in human form, dying, then rising from the …

With a hip and a hop, kids don’t want the Easter fun to ever stop! Finding the brightly colored Easter eggs carefully hidden and lain and eating all of the Easter goodies that Grandma has made! Did you happen to see the big bunny with the pink and white ears? That means that Easter is finally here! With a hip …

A single flower he sent me ,since we met all tenderly his messenger he chose; deep-hearted, pure with scented dew still wet one perfect rose. I knew the language of the flower “my fragile leaves ,it said his heart enclose” love long has taken for his locket one perfect rose. Why is it no one ever sent me yet one …

How can I use the New Year To better serve my Lord? I’ll read my Bible every day, And be more in accord. I’ll find new ways to serve others; I’ll love my neighbor, too. I’ll focus on “give” instead of “get” In everything I do. I’ll forgive the people I’m mad at; Angry feelings I’ll discard; I’ll try to …

Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror …

The sheets were frozen hard, and they cut the naked hand; The decks were like a slide, where a seaman scarce could stand; The wind was a nor’wester, blowing squally off the sea; And cliffs and spouting breakers were the only things a-lee. They heard the surf a-roaring before the break of day; But ’twas only with the peep of …

That is my window. Just now I have so softly wakened. I thought that I would float. How far does my life reach, and where does the night begin I could think that everything was still me all around; transparent like a crystal’s depths, darkened, mute. I could keep even the stars within me; so immense my heart seems to …

I. That fawn-skin-dappled hair of hers, And the blue eye Dear and dewy, And that infantine fresh air of hers! II. To think men cannot take you, Sweet, And enfold you, Ay, and hold you, And so keep you what they make you, Sweet! III You like us for a glance, you know- – For a word’s sake Or a …

I. I dream of a red-rose tree. And which of its roses three Is the dearest rose to me? II. Round and round, like a dance of snow In a dazzling drift, as its guardians, go Floating the women faded for ages, Sculptured in stone, on the poet’s pages. Then follow women fresh and gay, Living and loving and loved …
