Some Acknowledge Greatness
How is it, that we find beauty, yet another sees ugliness?
I think it festers in a place of dark, deep, inner
smugness!
Humilty is a great sign in any God made human.
Plowing through life with hatred~is the downfall of many
A great man, or vain woman!
God runs the world or don’t we know that?
As a soldier dies,blood running

step one, Acknowledge
Crippled by guilt, yet not enough to make changes in that Instant
A person who to themselves are unrecognisable for Instance.
Losing sight of prior priorities, instead lethargic and Inconsistent.
Every day begins and every night ends feeling overwhelmingly Immunodeficient
Words of concern fall upon deafened ears, their statements are inconveniently
Insistent.
Parts of life you once loved and have

What's good for the goose, on becoming a mother
Today we celebrate Mother's Day, for those still with us and those gone away,
with hearts of gratitude we acknowledge and pray..
This current climate where state's see fit to oversee a woman's choices
and pass laws to restrict..
No one should take lightly the ending of a beating heart before an embryo is
viable and get's it's life start..

Some Say
Some say
History is ugly
Some say
It didn’t happen
Some
Just don’t want to acknowledge
Some
Just want to view the art
Some
Don’t have a voice
I enter the old home
Via the back door
Past gardens full of opium poppies
The old lady
Waddling ahead
Is so proud of them
I dare not tell her
“I’ll put the kettle on”
As she places an old black pot
Upon the wood fire

Acknowledge Your Truth
Acknowledge your truth and shout it loud
For you, and only you, can authenticate it
Only you can know your experiences in life
They are different from every other person
You are a unique individual of infinite worth
A divine soul since your day of birth, be proud
Consider there is no other like you on earth
Acknowledge your truth and shout

O' How I Will Acknowledge Him-
Oh!
And I shall heed the call of my Father God
Forward unto me if I do not bother
I will chant his praise
I will say his name
I will acknowledge Him in my good fortune
For in the darkness in the light in the calm in the quake
I will acknowledge Him for Kingdom

Acknowledge Yourself, Poet
If you don’t appreciate you, then,
who will?
Waiting for the winds of approval,
like a worn out windmill.
We all know that lonely space,,,,
Oh, no not you, with that arrogant,
smug look on your face!
“See my trophies” well no,I actually
don’t!
As ephemeral as something that on
dead waters, floats.
Looking for approval is so useless,you
have to

Grief of the Death of a Spouse- Those Yet Alive Acknowledge-
GRIEF OF THE DEATH OF A SPOUSE THOSE YET ALIVE ACKNOWLEDGE-
More hurt than I ever been;
The day God called His daughter home;
GRIEF OF THE DEATH OF A SPOUSE- THOSE YET ALIVE ACKNOWLEDGE-
Married 41 years;
O' Lord the pains, the tears;
After you read this;
Give all your family a hug a kiss;
For in death they'd be greatly missed;
GRIEF

Wishes
I wish I could fly
I would fly into the inner recesses
Of wicked men's hearts
And plant tenderly flowers of love
I wish I could fly
I would fly from boredom to freedom
And from life's encumbrances
But they are the stuff life is made of
I wish I could fly
I would fly to all troubled spots in the world
And sow

Listen
People never seem to listen to what i have to say
Just brush it off their shoulder interrupting all the way
In a disagreement everyone is guilty of pride
You say what you have to say then run away and hide
Instead of always interjecting who did what to who
Maybe take a moment

Acknowledge Fellow Poets
So many great poets here!
What about the new ones,
who need your hug, eh?
You just might give them the
poetry bug!
I like to seek who's waiting
for my nudge!
To take my time and reply
and get some good, warm
yummy fudge.
My Dad is to blame for all of
this!
He constantly wondered why
only the big fish got the hits.
He wanted
