Best Guested Poems
Yesterday was a miracle day,
We had a beautiful luncheon with friends.
A beautiful carnation was given to the mothers,
To celebrate the day.
A table was set with a tablecloth and china,
We lunched and had delicious foods.
A pianist played classical music on the piano,
Good listeners guested in the distance.
I sat with my companions and we had a delectable lunch,
Conversation and friends what a good way to spend the day.
A dear friend guested and a new friend,
We chatted and had the loveliest day.
i saw my favorite handsome prince ,
Which made my day miraculous.
We have been friends for a long time,
I always look forward to seeing him.
These are God's blessings to be with friends,
I thank our God for being this kind.

To live a talented retiremant,
i dreamed of a normal retirement,
Meeting classmates again coincidently
Getting together for a cup of tea or coffee,,
To be with the church,
When I retired that all began,
A storytale retirement,
I did participate and did things,
I have never done before,
I wrote two books, "Living with God",
The next good book"The Sounds of Christmas",
My poems were well-liked by the seniors at the residence,
I gave them as christmas presents one year
Blessing my relatives and friends,
I was featured at the Open House as a guest poet.
They praised my accomplishments,
We had a lovely reunion with my relatives,
The sound of music came honestly,
I taught myself as a teacher to play many songs,
A friend came up to me and said,
That they would like me to play for the birthdays,
I played the piano for the birthdays and socials,
Previously I had sung with the choir,
I participated in bazaars,
A well-respected poet and pianist,
I said to myself, perhaps I have practiced all my life ,
Just to be featured today as a senior today,
I met a future mayor of our city and a bishop of our church,
I had friends that were ministers and lunched,
I thank God for the many accomplishments and blessings,
We have a beautiful conservation area nearby,
Many hikes and lovely walks guested with relatives and friends,
A retirement that is blessed by the Lord,
To have been blessed to share my retirement with my father and relatives,
To have discovered my favorite miracle singer,
These are the many blessings of God and I am truly thankful.

I gazed at the midnight blue sky,
There was a galaxy of stars,
Twinkling above,
I thought how beautiful,
A silent reverence guested,
There was a crescent moon,
Distant simply there,
The sky is an education,
I thought,
My favorite astronomy book as a guide.

They met at a friends cottage,
Their parents were friends,
The church our favorite umbrella,
Hours of friendship and companionship guested,
She with him and he with her,
The future was there if they ever fell in love,
Dreams of a tender caress,
A moment and infinity could be a reality,
Building a home and a future,
How complex humanity,
The beautiful sounds of nature,
Like a Walt Disney movie, songbirds and rippling brooks,
The sound of the wind could be heard.

My senior retirement was the completion of a phase in my life,
I discovered my love for writing.
My poems would appear in anthologies,
There for someone else's pleasure.
I would achieve heights difficult to comprehend,
Reaching the William Shakespeare level.
To publish books, a dream come true,
I would invite relatives and friends to read about my experiences.
Knowing I have had very fulfilling chapters in my life,
To continue to discover my love for playing the piano.
My parents' lessons at the Royal Conservatory,
Appreciated at a senior level at teas.
With a repertoire of church,classical,contemporary,popular,and Christmas music,
I would continue to discover crafts, like knitting and making necklaces.
Participated in bazaars and craft sales,
Socially church and choir guested.
To be complimented by good neighbours,
The blessings of being involved with our very own Christmas Choir.
Which sang beautifully complimented with tea and cookies,
I became a hostess with excellence.
Blessed with days with my handsome and beautiful relatives,
Dinning together with exempliary reunions.
A love for fashions as a senior guested,
Beautiful walks along the conservation area.
Slimness is next to Godliness,
Being senior continues to be an excellent passage to tomorrow.

Narrative
i remember the houses through the years where we lived with our parents,
The Magnolia house when we came to Canada with our father and mother.
Our parents had a beautiful wedding,
Mother had a beautiful wedding dress and father a handsome suit.
My younger brother Tom was born,
I remember the days when he was growing up.
i would walk around the playpen,
Our mother would curl his hair because she wished to have a son with curly hair.
He would sit in the playpen and I would walk around and be with him,
We were friends at a young age, he is five years younger than I.
He became a Secondary School Teacher,
And I became an Elementary School Teacher.
Everything at my parent's house was homemade,
They had made their own furniture and sewed their own curtains.
We moved to their second house on Chopin Ave.,
We walked to school, two hours to school, very safe, later we had a school bus.
We graduated from Secondary School with our friends,
Both went to Teacher's College and went onto to be hired and teach school.
I received my twenty-five year pin and a certificate for contributing to
excellence in Education.
My youngest son was my escort and his older brother was at University.
They both have their careers and both married and i have beautiful grandchildren,
We moved to the Lorne park House with our parents and grandparents.
Our parents love child was born and we were delighted.
She grew up with our sons and they are good friends.
she is married with children now,
And has beautiful children and a handsome husband.
Beautiful years of friendship guested, picnics and days of tossing the frisbee.
Walks along the shores of the Lake at Jack Darling park.
Skipping stones in the water, recently we visited Jack Darling park.
Good memories always shared by my relatives and I.
Days when i drove the children to school in the turquoise chrysler.
Memories of the divorce, my husband and I are still friends.
Days and Nights with our parents and grandparents.
Blessings from God and i am truly thankful.

Trying to forget without regret of giving up on someone who has been
guested in your mind for months. Next day comes Another someone comes
to your life and you forget the one before. Soon you have two people on your
mind, you begin to compare personality, looks and flaws How can you be
sure they attracted to you ? Its only by chance. One more day up comes and
another person is seen.Than you begin to think why are you thinking of the
therd if two are already there. Both two are love at first sight , which is true ?
Are they even love? Or is it the crush you had for 4 years that is true ? Falling
too quickly out of no choice. No confidence in yourself. Not believingthat your time for love will come.
As much as you like to chase love it cannot be true if they don't even care.
Being shy feeling worthless looking for a bit of care. Daydreaming, imagining
and planning future days with couple of people on your mind wasting time
trying to choose. Trying to change to fit in , not believing your Unique,
Beautiful and Perfect in your own way.
Different is best , Don't chase the first person that shows you kindness/care.
Feel self worth.Be the one to not be depending to catch a person. Let them
catch you. Unexpectedly. If they don't than trully they aren't worth you.

He was a knight in shinning armor,
Rescuing her from dragons.
She was a damsel in distress,
Wore a long gown of white lace.
He was invited to her palace,
They sat at the beautiful table and dinned.
They had champagne and delicious foods,
Then they toured the palace gardens.
The gardens were beautiful with blossoming roses,
Flowers of every kind , orchards of delight.
They would walk together his arm linked in her hers,
A friendship beyond compare, the sun rose when he was there.
She would look forward to seeing him everyday,
They embraced and became good friends.
You never know what God has planned for you,
Another exquisite day at the palace guested.

I dream of Austria and the beauty of the country,
God's perfect winter postcard.
The town of Igls, the rooftops and tall spruces, touched with snow,
The Latin church that stood tall.
A visit with God at Christmas,
Beautiful memories and walks through the village.
Where the mountain stood majestic in the background,
Skiis on my back, dressed in a warm nordic red sweater and cap and black ski pants and boots.
I belonged with the village,
Ski lessons of the finest.
Learning to ski, like a gentle bird on the slopes,
My instructor handsome and tall, teaching excellence in skiing guested.
The top of the mountain where my second ski instructor also good-looking,
Empowered us to ascend to the highest mountain in Austria.
The Patscherkophfle, majesty among mountains,
After two weeks of instruction I chose to ski to the ski lift.
And return to the mountain base, my vacation complete,
My warm chalet welcomed me.

He was tall and handsome in his suit,
Blond hair and blue eyes deep and soulful
She wore a long cotton dress with frills, pastel coloured,
Her hair was dark brunette and cascaded over her shoulders,
They met at church, a beautiful old-fashioned building,
Sundays you could hear the church bells ringing,
She was a Sunday school teacher,
They met while lunching at the church social,
He and she shared many conversations,
The Sunday church picnic was their favorite rendezvous,
The congregation guested,
Foods were deliciously prepared,
Each person brought a food of excellence,
Deliciously baked bread and scones,
Salads carefully prepared,
Pies and cakes fresh from the bakery,
Tea and refreshments,
They sipped their tea simultaneously,
To them it seemed like they were the only two there,
After the church service, he walked her home,
When they reached her parents' house,
He drew her near to him looked into her eyes and proposed marriage,
She gazed lovingly back at him and consented,
They married in the traditional old-fashioned church with all their relatives there,
She wore a beautiful gown of white and he wore a handsome suit,
God's miracle and blessing to them.

Sunday has always been special through the years,
A day where we honour the Lord our God.
My favorite teacher Jesus,
Guiding the parents and children.
My favorite years with my church,
Teaching Sunday School with a friend.
The children learned the stories of the Bible,
Beautiful verses to guide them.
The church summer camp where we hiked through field and stream,
A love of nature guested,
Sing-a-longs and a dance, I choregraphed,
Parents visiting the campsite, maybe on a Sunday.
My favorite day at home with my parents and relatives,
A Sunday holiday where I became a teacher.
My married years with my husband and children,
Where Sunday was our favorite day together.
A day to read stories and have a picnic at our favorite Conservation Area,
We were off to visit grandma and grandpa.
Grandma's delicious home cooking guested,
Grandpa's wise ways guided us.
Sundays continue to be special through the years,
The kind pastor who preached a good sermon.
Singing with the church and the sounds of God's choir,
Sunday companions and friends.
What a blessed and beautiful day, Sunday,
God's miracle for us all.

I am dreaming of a white Christmas,
Where the earth is reborn covered with a fresh blanket of snow.
The beauty of the spruce and pines when they are touched with snow,
They look very majestic and beautiful.
When I look out of the window I see the town, snow everywhere,
The beautiful snowflakes have created their own magic.
A winter's day beautiful and yet you have to be cautious,
Sidewalks cleaned so the pedestrians can walk safely.
Sledding and tobogganing down the hill, winter's delight,
Skiers dressed warmly, they caress the slopes and ski to a halt.
Pedestrians dress warmly in their winter wear,
Warm coats, slacks, caps, mittens and fashionable boots.
That's a winter paradise here, the houses covered in snow,
Santa and the reindeer could have guested.
The beauty of winter, like a papal carpet of friendship,
Christmas songs come once more sung by our favorite performers.
Olympians training for competition,the many winter sports are represented,
Canada known for their white winter and sports.

Valentine's Day is a day where you care,
Traditionally you exchange valentines with relatives and friends.
Boyfriend and girlfriend send another flowers and chocolates.
Their are socials to honor St. Valentine.
Valentine's Day, a day where relatives and friends ,
Share care and friendship.
They have celebrations in honor of St. Valentine,

Sent to relatives and friends.
A day where you look back and think about friendships and romances,
A miraculous wedding could have guested.
Miracles like your children and grandchildren,
A day where we celebrate God's love and friendship.
Valentine's Day should be all year
The planet is God's favorite Valentine.

A beautiful wedding was had by our youngest son Erik and his beautiful wife,Lisette.
They got married in the beautiful and tropical Costa Rica.
A beautiful beach wedding guested, all his relatives were present that could come,
The handsome groom with Elvis black hair wore a suit of white with a Hawaiin Lei.
His bride had long hair and wore an exquisite dress of white and looked very beautiful, wore a Lei.
They sent us some beautiful pictures of their wedding.
They married on Valentine's Day so that we could always remember their wedding each year.
I gave our son Erik,a guitar for his birthday, that he could become a performer.
We will always remember this special wedding.
He would serenade his wife and write poems for her,
They had a very romantic friendship and they grew up together and fell in love.
Society is living their dream I say,
I will always remember this son and his lovely wife.
I think when he used to come and visit his mother Gwen,
He brought me a Poinsetta at Christmas which is very thoughtful.

The sandy beach awaited the celebration,
We were with relatives and friends.
We had a lovely dinner together,
After dinner we went out on the porch facing the beach.
I had collected shells which I had displayed on the bench
Shells of varying shapes and sizes.
They had fireworks profiled with excellence,
The sky was the background for the display.
We were with our favorite companions,
Enjoying the warmth of the Sarasota weather.
A midnight swim in the swimming pool guested,
We all liked swimming, our parents had taught us.
i wore a royal purple swim suit especially for the Christmas holidays,
My relatives liked swimming in the swimming pool.
A glass of champagne guested where we celebrated the New Year,
With relatives, friends and good neighbors.
We retired in the evening to our very comfortable and somewhat posh
condominium,
These are good memories that God and our parents have given us.
