Hi Robert!!!

What a great poem!

It makes its point without being too dark and negative.

This would be a good one for me ti read when Im down!

It sticks to the point, its spoken almost as if in prayer!

Very Inspirational

hello All,    Sweet words often calm the beast.... Peoms say so much in so few words..    I used to write peoms alot The words and thoughts would be like water flowing down the falls I couldn't keep up with them with my pen..  reading them now makes me think I lost a part of me in Lifes everydays chores and work to make ends meet,, and keeping up with kids and home spreads me thin.. My only vacation is when I sleep. I haven't stopped to smell a rose just the coffee to get me to my toes, Crab the keys off i go 9, 10 , 14 hours on the road. traffic is slow to many cars wait your turn (BEEP HONK) 2 hours for 3 miles cities no place to be. Whats his piece of cardboard say? "Homeless-Hungry" I see him everyday, small boney ratty clothes. I do like the same as the day before, toss him what I have left to get me through to supper. No time to stop I'll eat at home. Home again, just in time to eat and say good night. next time I'll ask him his name...... ???   maybe pack him a lunch.. now i sleep.

maybe I could still write a few?? You might think everyday is a poem waiting to be written,, This was a typical day for me..

Thanks for the Invite....

The total time working out ways your time with family.

Thank you everyone.

Unconditional Love

What is it that I am longing to see
like the ebb and flow of the sea?
Something real in our lives
That is nether dumb or wise.

Something I was thinking of
Was it unconditional love?
A man lay down his life for a friend.
He didn't ask for anything in the end.
His life was private and uneventful
No one knew him but he was kind
He never went to speak his mind.
No malice was in his heart.
He faithfully pursued his art.

Every morning he watered his garden
and tended to beautuful flowers in his front yard
I walked by his house every day
And admired his wonderful fray
of roses, marigolds tulips and such
And I enjoyed it very much.

But one day as I passed by
His house was gone, bulldozed away.
Then I stopped for there  it was
something in the ground because
a single flower there I found
left from the distruction of his house by the way.

I remembered seeing the look on his face
when he smiled at me with grace.
I shed a tear when I saw
that single flower without a flaw,
standing proudly as if to say
I still love you in my way.
