Best Goals Poems

Only to find we are still the same, because in fact we are chasing ourselves."

(Triggered and inspired by a conversation this morning between Arthur Vaso and myself)

I have crashed many times over the past five years....

I’ve fewer days ahead of me
than those I have been blessed to see.
Though time moves on so rapidly,
	my hopes sustain.

God still has plans for me, I know.
He’s guiding me as to and fro
I move through life with goals in tow
	that never wane.

Have I implied that...

You know what soccer football needs?
Bigger Goals!
An extra meter on each side of the posts.
Bigger Goals means More Goals!
With goals shot from wider out,
the game then would be far less defensive
with less endless back passing,
and shuffling the deck at the back.
Going All in for Goals,

Accomplish nothing.
Slow down to arrive.
Practice stillness.
Empty the mind
so the soul can fill.

Pay attention.
Write to remember.
Write to forget.
Learn from the river.
Fall to pieces
so you can be rebuilt.

From my new collection The Eden of Perhaps (Spartan Press, 2020)...

Do not allow others to define you.
You, deep as the rolling cerulean sea.
And believe me you are the bright
star on your Christmas tree!

Chase your dreams, they will not
fall into your lap!
Above all, don't judge your poem by  the number 
of comments you get.
That's no way...

Create your goals
Write down some big ones that will stretch you
It pays to have goals that require you to grow to achieve them
It’s a good thing to have some goals that make you a little uncomfortable. Why?

The ultimate goal
In addition to achieving your material goals
Is...

My aspirations are torn into shreds,
Had wonderful dreams but nmow they are dead.

I tried and I tried to follow my goals,
But now all those visions are burnt down to coals.

I'm sick oh so sick of my failing so much,
The way I can't prove I am...

Without a shadow's kiss
           How blooms a hidden rose?
Without a storm's embrace 
          How does an oak repose?

In Twilight's waltz, secrets unroll

Help me save the children from rage and hopelessness,
Bring your optimistic lanterns, and your jubilant joy sticks.

Meet me in a half hour in the gazebo in the park.
Bring all the children you can find along the way.
Use your magic flutes and faeries to get them...

Congratulations! 
2019 is the expectant year.
You will get a baby, if you are expecting one.
If you are expecting to say "no" to a puppy, but you have an
eight-year-old who wants one, and you are not firm, you might
get one, so expect this to possibly happen.
You...
