Best Careful Poems

I write each letter by hand in careful cursive. 
I want every sentence to be pretty,
to look feminine and delicate -
to soften the ugliness you face everyday.
After each line, I let the ink dry.
You don't deserve smudges.
You don't deserve any of this.

My words are foolish,...

  who sang bass as he played on his piano.
  Once he fished and cast his line
  by mistake hooked his behind
  since that day, when he plays he sings soprano.

One of these days the sky is going to break
 and everything will escape.

I know this because .......
This is my least favorite life.

As the sun pulled away from the sky.
The moon fell away from the stars.

Like the memory of a bygone season.
The shadows grow long...

Vinny Rogers was a dairy man who milked three hundred cows.
Share farming with his son Bernie who put in the milking hours.

Think again
Be careful
Don’t do this 
Don’t do that

Whirlwind echoes
In my mind
So long mistaken
For the voice of reason
But it’s only that inner parrot 
I raised since birth
Who became a teenager 
And now has turned on me

Me and the boys went fishing,
Little dog in tow.
"Charlie Brown" went everywhere
The five of us would go.

We were having lots of fun
Until we hooked our pal.
He swallowed a wad of stink bait
Treble hook and all.

Mama cut the nylon line,
We saw it slip away.
The vet said,...

His teacher said he was a ‘shining wit’
Little Jimmy was SO pleased
But when he told his mum and dad…
They could not be appeased!

Women are created in the image of God just as men are
Females are seen by Jesus as genuine persons
Not simply as the objects of male desire
Every family has disagreements, conflicts 
Some men   treat her with bitterness and uncontrolled anger,
They  quarrel with her,...

BE CAREFUL (the song)

Soon you'll be here with me.
We'll laugh with gaiety.
You'll speak so tenderly.

Be careful

Those flowers in your hand.
You'll pin them near my heart.
I'll hope we never part.

Be careful

See sunlight in your hair,
And love light in your eyes.
A wonderful surprise!

Be careful

REFRAIN:
You'll make me love...

Careful, careful what you say
If you’re not, he’ll go away

Careful, careful what you write
If you’re not, he’ll get a fright

Careful, careful how you walk
If you’re not, he’ll start to stalk

Careful, careful how you dress
If you’re not, he’ll be a mess

Careful, careful how you spin
If you’re...

Stop dropping your words
on me like blocks.
They fall on the ground
with such force
that I have to wonder
if I’ll be able to survive
the next conversation we have....

when infatuation soars
careful who you let in
guard your heart
and lock your doors

for heaven’s sake think twice 
throw not caution to the wind
careful who comes close
lest they tear your life apart
