Best Can Do Poems

As fear fills empty eyes,
worry contorts your face.
It is hard to believe
you could forget your name.
And as you shrink inside,
all I can do is weep.

Your identity's gone;
only a shell remains.
And stripped of dignity;
you struggle with your shame.
And yet, despite your pain,
all I can do is...

Its five in the morning, nervous, I give mom a call,
there is no time to waste, she says, "get on the ball".
In a hospital room, with a touch of her hand,
she whispers, "you can do this, to be a mother is grand."

One last push, and...

I have survived trauma, Cancer, Lyme disease, Head Traumas,
Many surgeries, bowel obstruction and infection
For those with health issues, life can really hit rock bottom
Pain can be unbearable and also be ongoing
Near death experiences are as scary as can be
But, I tell you this because you...

Every night she lays in bed and crys,
All she wants is someone to hold her all through the night.
She sits there and wonders why life is so hard,
Why she has been delt this card in life.
Her family always blames her when things go wrong, 
She...

When life's treacherous trek becomes more than I can bear,
And it seems there is no deliverance from my deep despair,
I repeat these words of reassurance that will soothe my woe:
"I can do all things through Him who gives me strength!", I know!


When I am faced...

If I could climb inside your heart I would
seal all the cracks that let love spill away..
I would breathe in to your soul with words
of romance and sweet times for all your days..
I would crawl into your dreams and show a
picture show of love and...

in a country of  335 million people
one of the richest more educated places
on the entire planet

the largest economy, 
the best military
still for now a democratic country

Deanna likes her old fashion pink plastic snap curlers.
Has brought them to Ethyl at the beauty shop since 1968.
Hair has survived fifty-one years of the same style

Unfortunately, when she gets there she is told Ethyl has passed.
She trusts none of these other whippersnappers.
What would they...

P-rophecy- miraculous power
O-bserves everything
E-duces easily-
T-he starting, the ending

Poet is not prophet but-

poet can touch-
the sky, the sun, the moon,
the light, the dark, 
the life, the death,
the heaven, the hell

poet can whisper-
the birds, the green leaves
the flora, the fauna

poet can speak-
with own-self
with others without hesitation
with seen,...

....Whom strenghtens me.................................
My Father knows that this child's life has been strewn
Littered about with sorrows, sins and darkness ? Still these eyes
Behold his infant innocent; seven years old hearing about, Lord Jesus....
Amid the turmoil a life for their very first time: perhaps, and left wishing...

As I arise to face a new day
  The governments in foul play.
Taxation is a total drain
  Crime is a money gain
Pollution clouds my membrane
  Healthcare is a crying shame
Love can be a constant pain
  Hatred may never end.

You ask me...

When they arrived, and had a look round, they were...

You Can Do It,

Yo brotha, I know you 25,
Tryin’ to stay alive,
On the south side,
You ain’t got no friends,
Since you turned away from sin,
And the sex be callin’ you back into her arms,
It’s like there be storms of temptation,
And the elation of the game and...
