Welcome to my poetry page! First things first, I don't write poetry.  You'll notice that you run across quite a bit of poetry on my pages. (Tribute to a Lady, The Rainbow Bridge, ComancheBlue's Tribute) But, I didn't write it, I wouldn't know where to start, I'm not that good at putting into words what I think. But every now and then I run across something that seems like someone else put into words what I think, and that's the stuff you'll find on my pages. With all that said, onto the poetry!



 


 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

I HAVE LEARNED 


I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them. 

I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back. 

I've learned that it takes years to build up trust and only seconds to destroy it. 

I've learned that it's not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts. 

I've learned that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes.After that, you'd better know something. 

I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do, but to the best you can do. 

I've learned that it's not what happens to people that's important. It's what they do about it. 

I've learned that no matter how thin you slice it, there are always two sides. 

I've learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them. 

I've learned that you can keep going long after you think you can't. 

I've learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences. 

I've learned that there are people who love you dearly, but just don't know how to show it. 

I've learned that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel. 

I've learned that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love. 

I've learned that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. 

I've learned that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that. 

I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself. 

I've learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief. 

I've learned that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. 

I've learned that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do. 

I've learned that sometimes you have to put the individual ahead of their actions. 

I've learned that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different. 

I've learned that no matter the consequences, those who are honest with themselves get further in life. 

I've learned that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you. 

I've learned that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help. 

I've learned that writing, as well as talking, can ease emotional pains. 

I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon. 

I've learned that it's hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting people's feelings and standing up for what you believe."

A FOREVER FRIEND

Sometimes in life,
you find a special friend;
Someone who changes your life
just by being part of it.
Someone who makes you laugh
until you can't stop;
Someone who makes you believe
that there really is good in the world.
Someone who convinces you
that there really is an unlocked door
just waiting for you to open it.
This is Forever Friendship.
When you're down,
and the world seems dark and empty,
Your forever friend lifts you up in spirit
and makes that dark and empty world
suddenly seem bright and full.
Your forever friend gets you through
the hard times, the sad times,
and the confused times.
If you turn and walk away,
your forever friend follows.
If you lose your way,
your forever friend guides you
and cheers you on.
Your forever friend holds your hand
and tells you that
everything is going to be okay.
And if you find such a friend,
you feel happy and complete,
because you need not worry.
You have a forever friend for life,
and forever has no end.

THE FRIEND WHO STANDS BY

When troubles come your soul to try
You love the friend who just stands by.
Perhaps there's nothing he or she can do
The thing is strictly up to you.
For there are troubles all your own
And paths the soul must tread alone.
Times when love can't smooth the road
Nor friendship lift the heavey load.
But just to feel you have a friend
Who will stand by until the end.
Whose sympathy through all endures
Whose warm handclasp is always yours.
It helps somehow to pull you through
Although there's nothing he or she can do.
And so with fervent heart we cry.....
God Bless the friend who just stands by.
