Best Gain Poems

We overthink the things we lose
but overlook the things we gain
ever mourning fire and flood
never praising gentle rain

We sidestep blessings every day
to favor troubles with our care
like little orphans left behind
our lonely blessings languish there

Days, months and years go by
and from our minds are never...

They all took a piece 
Never asked 
Never cared 
Just take take and take 

They took a piece of her today too 
This one was more to the right 
A bigger size 

They all take pieces 
Eventually there will be no more 
they’ll move to...

There once was a man whose big gain
of weight was now shockingly plain.
When he went for a dip
all the others would quip,
“Let's land on him, claim him for Spain!”

Dance of a Life with thee
Moments of Bliss
Sweetly Truly given
True Love endures 
Pure Happiness

Tis within dreams
Of many dreams
As he comes towards me
With his eyes.. 
Radiantly gleams
Full of Love 
Deeply..  extremes
As tis same for me.. 

Then he takes my hand
As I beheld his
Music in the...

One

Has more to gain from those who kindly reprove his wrongdoings


Than from


Those who constantly applaud his every thought, word, and deed!

“I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” ...

NO,

My beloved brother
 
Enemies we were never born but made

By 

All those vicious men that had the

Most to gain!

The Scriptures teach that there is a Heaven to gain and a Hell to shun !

We Preachers need to pass the Word,
for there are far too Many which have never heard.

The world mocks and says "all my friends shall be there",
The Lord says that there...

(in reference to Lamar "L-Boogie" Featherston)

Constantly, does it leave on My mind, 
a mental strain
Everytime, I think of how you died,
in vain
Upon leaving your mark here, a
hard to get out stain
It's funny, for I never knew you
were in pain
Yet, outside My window, down
came the Rain
How...

No pain no gain in the natural,
No pain unfortunately that’s the way,
Working on biceps, and other muscles,
For physical results. No exempt from life’s 
 Problem without a doubt. 

Who needs pain to gain in any case?
Nothing good comes easy we know.
It’s part of life and...

No Pain, No Gain

Too sensitive to take the stick
So hurt was his pride
He cried and he cried
Till he grew a skin ever so thick...

GUTS and GAIN

When only hymns of old memoirs and faith starred,
as I lift my eyes, black! Blue is the sun and moon,
will shadows be my frown and sins my ground?
(Gone are the days of pleasure and days of sleep...)

Anxiety escalates clogging the wise thoughts flow,
light...

My inspiration comes for Thee
Who hangs there on the cross
I only hope I am worthy
For the words I will write

Our lives are Yours if we allow
Your teachings to penetrate our minds
For they hold the truth and light
As set down for our earthly lives

Sometimes we stumble,...

A handsome man tall, slim and about 225 pounds,
Asked me out for a seafood dinner on our first date,
Still eats everything fattening, I know how that sounds,
Some twenty-eight years later, I still have a 225 pound mate,
That sucks, I’m not fat ~ just really, really...

My colourful soul is seeping through my skin
But Ana is a beauteous monster
And I cannot stop letting her in.
Someone get a doctor,
She’s stuck inside my head
And if I don’t get her out,
I’m sure to wind up dead.
Her voice it makes me shout
And cry out in...
