Welcome to my poetry page. I didn't write these poems myself, but I made a special page
for them because I think they are beautiful. I hope you enjoy reading
them as much as I have. :-)
A Forever Friend
Author Unknown
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 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.
My Love
by Collette Ann Perry
The moon glistens off the river, so sweet,
The sound of the the night birds-
cheep, cheep, cheep,
The way it makes your mind think,
so passionately, so unique,
Like the love I have for you,
My heart feels like it pounds,
a little off beat,
I cherish the time together
For love has no fear,
For that is what I found in you,
My heart, my soul, my dear,
I dread the days we spend apart,
But get so happy when we are at heart,
You always know just what to say,
I love you more and more,
each and everyday,
We will never have to say goodbye,
for love like ours,
it never dies,
It will stay alive like the mighty evergreen,
and never sway, or ever go away,
our love is eternal,
For even as I die,
I will wait upon you
for you are the tears I will cry,
And my love for you,
I cherish the most,
Till the angels come upon me and make a toast,
I love you today,
for you I will pray,
to never part,
because you are my heart.
Forever Mine
Stella John
I'll never find another love
as special as you are
Forever mine, is what I dream of
Forever mine... is what you are
You'll always be in my heart
I'll always think of you
Forever mine..we'll never part
Fate will bring us through
Forever I'll always love you
I'll never let you go
No matter what you do
Forever mine ... I'll always know
We'll always be together
separated close or far
my love for you will last forever
Forever mine...is what you are
LOVE
by Roy
Croft
I love you,
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am
When I am with you.
I love you,
Not only for what
You have made of yourself,
But for what
You are making of me.
I love you
For the part of me
That you bring out;
I love you
For putting your hand
Into my heaped-up heart
And passing over
All the foolish, weak things
That you can't help
Dimly seeing there
And for drawing out
Into the light
All the beautiful belongings
That no one else had looked
Quite far enough to find
I love you because you
Are helping me to make
Of the lumber of my life
Not a tavern
But a temple;
Out of the work
Of my every day
Not a reproach
But a song.
I love you
Because you have done
More than any creed
Could have done
To make me good
And more than any fate
Could have done
To make me happy.
You have done it
Without a touch,
Without a word,
Without a sign.
You have done it
By being yourself.
Perhaps that is what
Being a friend means,
After all.
Forgiveness
by Judith Mammay
Forgiveness is....
letting go of the pain
and accepting what has happened,
because it will not change.
Forgiveness is...
dismissing the blame.
Choices were made
that caused the hurt;
we each could have chosen
differently, but we didn't.
Forgiveness is....
looking at the pain,
learning the lessons it has produced,
and understanding what we have learned.
Forgiveness allows us to move on
towards a better understanding
of universal love
and our true purpose.
Forgiveness is.....
knowing that love
is the answer to all questions,
and that we all
are in some way connected.
Forgiveness is starting over
with the knowledge
that we have gained.
I forgive you, and I forgive myself.
I hope you can do the same.
~ Empty Arms ~
by Scarlett Luv
My arms ache for you, my love
An emptiness too big to bear
An empty circle where you belong
I need you.
I long for your caress on my cheek
Hunger for your lips on mine
A hunger that grows each day
I want you.
My heart reaches out to yours
The distance is overcome
I feel your spirit merge with mine.
I love you.
The Package
by Jonell Krueger
I've given you a package, so much it contains...
Once you get through the cardboard and paper, only love remains.
I've given all my love to you, and with it comes a friend...
You'll have my heart, mind, body, and soul with you till the end.
There is no return address, my love, for you know where I live...
I live inside your heart, my love,
and for a man so wonderful as you,
this package was not hard to give.
Slow Dance
Unknown
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
Do you run through each day on the fly
When you ask "How are you?"
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done,
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow
And in your haste, not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
'Cause you never had time
To call and say "Hi"?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away...
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
