Very beautiful tribute to your mom. I love the phrase I am with you every step of the way. When you lose your mom it is like a part of you is lost. It is like you have lost one of your best friends. But one thing that I have come to know is that my mom lives on in me, because of the love and things that she taught me. To give others the benefit of the doubt, and to listen and love with all your heart. Never to turn anyone away that is need. A mom is someone very special just like you describe your mom in this poem. It is very beautiful and proves my point that no matter how many years they have been gone, we miss them everyday.
Very dark and deep emotions. It tells of a person who feels like they live in complete utter darkness. The poem gives the impression that it has been a long time since they have truly experienced happiness. Despair can rob us of our faith, our belief that tomorrow will be better, when everything goes so wrong. Many times the darkness seems like it will last forever. But one day the sunshine eventually peeks through, and we find our ray of hope. Welcome to the wriing.com family. Glad you could join us.
This is beautiful, yet sad at the same time. A person is struggling to make it through deep depression. They want someone to love and care for them. To wrap them in their arms in their deepest moments of despair. To just tell them that everything will be ok, and that there will brighter days. I seen the part that was put that there is a way out, but I want to make it to heaven. Depression can cause such torment and pain. It entraps it victims to where their life seems so dark. God can help with that darkness, He will show you the way to go. When all seems lost, He will send Jesus to hold you in His arms. Sometimes the storms of life overwhelm us, but God will never leave our side. He will calm the storm that rages and give you peace within.
Wow, it is a wicked condition from the description. I love your courage, how you tell of all the obstacles that you fight because of this disease. It would be so hard to try and get through when you know others are staring it sure wouldn't help matters any. Many are faced with disabilities but over come the powerful stress and depression of their condition. They have so much hope,courage, and faith that it amazes me. My husband suffers from degenerative disc disease and it has changed his body greatly. He limps and can not stand straight up, but he is the most handsome man that I know. His over all attitude about the disease is always postive. He always says like you, that others are in much worse shape. That he will be thankful for another day. May God bless you.
This is a wonderful item. I love how you talk about how the beauty of the snow makes you feel inside. That you walk in silence and enjoy that your thoughts are not interrupted by talk. That you enjoy the beauty that has presented it's self through the night. How it make you think after you have left foot prints in the snow. That there is evidence that you have walked through this life and seen footprints left for others to see. I guess at times we do wonder and should if we have left foot prints behind that we would be proud of. I guess you could call the soul prints. If we have touched others lives and made a difference somewhere. My favorite lines because it shows a person has been doing soul searching and just enjoying the beauty that has been placed before them.
The tear that’s now a frozen crystal on my cheek
Speaks louder than any words I can ever speak.
This is beautiful. It takes us all back to the times as a child to see the beauty of the snow. All the wonderful adventures that you have. Making snowmen, trying to see if any snowflake is exactly alike. Making snow angels, sledding down the biggest hill your parents will let you try and conquer. I love the description you give, you can just see yourself standing in a winter wonderland. All the snow pure and white, creates a beautiful scenic view.
This is very good, I love how it repeats the line Is This Your Faith In Me? It would be so hard to be down and need someone to give you encouragement and all that they do is shout and tell you what you have done wrong. After a while you would begin to think that they have no faith in you at all. I couldn't stand feeling like I walked on eggshells everyday I would go insane. My favorite lines
Egg shells as land mines to judge your reaction.
I have no way of knowing when you'll explode,
No way of cracking your changing code.
This one holds strong convictions. It shows just what can happen when we gamble in life. Sometimes we win and sometimes we lose but always take a chance. Sometimes when we gamble we hurt the ones that we love, we throw away precious gems, that can never be recovered. If we really don't want to gamble, we will put God in charge of our life, He will lead and guide us along lifes way. My favorite lines
Each decision causes gain or loss,
which is better
The blue it stands for the sky and the heavens. Or for love. Red it has to stand for the blood that will be oozing and the part of facing death. Orange for the burning feelings inside, that sometimes others chose to ignore. That it is like a flame of a fire and the feelings of loneliness is overwhelming. It sounds like the person was dealing with a whole lot of problems. Many times people treat teens like they shouldn't have a problem in the world but that kind of thinking is so wrong. Teen years are so confusing, and very emotional. Everything that can go wrong will go wrong. But i pray that the person finds some one to talk with, because there are ways of dealing with our problems other than ending our life with suicide. A person family would be so broken hearted knowing their baby had felt such devastation and didn't know or try to help them.
This is very sweet, yet so sad. That ones love has gone off somewhere I don't know if it is to fight for their country or to work. The poem tells of the love that the person has for them, and if they are separated to wait for them in heaven, that half of their heart goes with them. My favorite lines because true love can survive any distance.
tossed on rough and dangerous seas.
I pray letters of love lift you up
and carry your heart home to me.
I love it. It give the message that when all seems lost don't let go. That love can be difficult at times, it will face it's hardships. Anything worth having is sure worth fighting for. Just when you think that the end of the relationship is near, the love shines through, and a rainbow appears after the storm.
Very sad, that two people so in love, marry and then it all comes to a tragic end. That promises were made for one to get a degree then the other would have time for their dream of writing. One kept their promises, then the other one kept making excuses when it was time for the other one to make their mark in life. I guess that over time one begin to think that they were the one that only matter. They forgot about the happiness of their spouse and broke their word to them and in the process their heart. My favorite lines
It's done. Your clothes are packed.
Your heart and love long gone.
No need for words; empty spaces
Oh this is so sad, that no respect is given to girls in this country. It is like they are property, they can be beaten, abused, raped, and then they bear the shame of what society has placed upon them. It is horrible to have to live a life that way. That when they give birth to a baby girl they know within their heart it will be abused, so they smother it to keep it from suffering their own torment.
I love it, I don't think there is not a child who hasn't dreamed of flying and many of those who tried it. Some were lucky enough not to break bones, others have learned the hard way, by breaking arms,legs, and hands. I love how on tv they say don't try this at home. Now days kids have to be even more convinced that they can fly, with all the technology we have today for filming. Good job this one took me back to childhood days.
I really enjoyed reading this item. It shows that we can learn so much for our elders. Just because they are getting on up in age doesn't mean that they are to be tossed away. They are part of our heritage, if we don't learn from them, out past can't be told to future generations. We have to know where we came from, our family roots and only the grandparents and great grandparents can help us work the puzzle to unlock our family history. Just because we get older doesn't mean we are useless, we have many talents and adventures to share with the world. Some of the best stories I have ever heard have come from many folks in the nursing home. They know so much, and oh the stories they can tell you. my favorite lines the petals may fall but they are still budding with wisdom.
Once the sparkle of youth,
long past, the bud of a rose
blossomed and petals fall,
wow this tells a story that is sad and tragic. I know many have been left and abandoned but this story says so much about the ones that have had that happen to them. They are born to a parent who doesn't care, all they want is the next fix, and the baby is put in foster care, beaten and mistreated. Tossed around for years, suffering cruelity and abuse from quote their caretakers. Then they have to fend for themselves and start doing drugs and selling them, stealing, what ever it takes to support them. They end up in jail and once they get out they want to go back because they feel they have family there. It is sad that they have never had someone to really reach out and care for them. These lines say it all
I have a rep and can score drugs.
I am not forgotten.
I belong.
This is a really good story. It shows how abuse carries on through peoples lives. If a child is abused by their parents, it more likely that they will be abused as an adult. That many times their self esteem becomes so low, that abuse is what they expect from others. It is so sad that many fall between the cracks, that help arrives way too late. This type of abuse would be more than a little mind could possibly bear. Being beaten and molested by your own dad, how can a child ever get over something so tramautic?
Oh my this is a beautiful tribute to your late husband. It would be so hard to sit by and have to wait till the end. Knowing that it is coming and that there is nothing you can do. That all the dreams and plans that the two of you made together are all about to end. That the memories of your love together will have to carry you through, oh that would be so heartbreaking and unbearable. My favorite lines there is never any easy way to say goodbye, and it is so hard on the heart.
I wait, helpless, angry, undone.
Listen to your slowing heartbeat
fail to understand, to reason why.
Hey I think that Josh has the right idea. If we chose a job that we love it wouldn't seem like work at all. It may not be making the big bucks others have dreams of you making but hey if you are happy with what you are doing, go for it. As long as your bills are paid, and you are happy that is all that truly matters. Money can't buy happiness.
I like how this tells of old times and I am sure that many can relate to the disco era, I was to young to remember. I remember seeing the disco balls on tv but never did go to one. We had a stereo that had the flashing disco lights it was exciting, to turn up the music and dance with the flashing lights. Now that was great. My favorite lines because it shows how we grow up and our bodies grow older. It shows that everything changes with time.
Hoping and praying there's no accident
Hoping and praying I haven't already went
Oh I wonder how many important people have truly left everyone of our lives because we are so centered on ourselves. That we put ourself upbove everyone that is around us and don't take into consideration what others around us are going through. We throw it in their face, that we have the concept that eveything should be about us and no body else truly matters. Then we realize the damage that we have done and many times it is already to late to undo the damage that our selfishness has caused. Only Jesus can put the change in us that truly makes a difference. We are no longer focused on ourselves but worry about others. we focus on telling the lost about Jesus. That is when we truly come to know that eveything is not about us. I love these lines because you would think that one time is all it would take with the guilt and sadness but we repeat our mistakes over and over again.
Oh man, it makes me crazy when I feel this way and do these things
Guilt, remorse and sadness are sure to visit me when I calm down
They have become constant companions in the aftermath of my self centered bouts with the world
So sad that after years of sharing a life that a couple takes it all for granted. Because when we stop paying attention to the love of our life, that is where the problem begins. A marriage still needs tender loving care and attention. We must keep the fire burning or the flame will die out. Then when the flame of love burns out you end up with just a friendship. That is not what anyone would want. You want your partner for life, best friend, your lover, and husband all in one. This is a good message for married couples that no matter how long you have been married the relationship requires communication and romance. I love these lines because if you neglect something and think it will always be around this shows that sometimes things disappear that you love.
Here you stand, without guilt
throwing a precious lifetime away.
Exchanging Lenox family china,
for cheap supermarket plates.
I totally agree, history was made today, and I feel so honored to have been able to witness it. Barack Obama has a lot of burdens to cope with, the mess of the economy and all the jobless people. So many peopling losing their homes, and business's having to close their doors. I believe he can truly make a difference in our country. It will take time and everyone working together and not against him. Together eveyone can make a difference by uniting together and celebrate this great moment in history . Did you hear the part where they told on the news channel how the slaves had done the foundation of the White House, and now one of their ancestors will be living in the house that they helped put the foundation in. Now that is a case for celebration in itsself. We need to keep our new 44th president in our prayers and his family. They will face many obstacles, but with God's help they can be overcomed.
I like the way that it says that the neighbors listen for an abusing sound, then gather round. The part that you are fighting wth a girl and it is not your daughter makes the reader think that you are fighting with a person. Then when it gets toward the end the doggie door opens and gone is the rope. Good job, funny and comical.
Beautiful song and so full of hope. It shows and tells that no matter what may go wrong that we still have hope. That tomorrow can bring a bright new day. That God will help carry us through the bumpy road, and carry us through all of life's storms. That there will be a bright rainbow fill our life soon. That no matter what keep the faith and hope, God will give you relief. My favorite lines because we have to hold onto hope regardless of how dark things may be.
I’ve not lost hope of a brand new start,
For I believe with all of my heart:
