Best Have Young Poems

This poem was written by an old man who died in the geriatric
Ward of a nursing home in North Platte, Neb.  He left nothing 
Of  value, only this poem which I thought had a very strong
Message and wanted to share with you soupers.

In the waiting room …
A sea of ashen faces 
Women with their partners
We were waiting, just waiting
My name is called
Heart pounding I gather by belonging
My husband gets up …
But he’s told he can’t come in with me
I feel vulnerable and alone 
In the little cubicle...

You too have young ones
to sweeten your ears
by their melodious chant “dear mom or dad”.
Does it gratify your supreme authority 
to see them go without food for a day or two
before you spend to meet their needs?
Does your heart only melt
when they stand with their...

I have a heart, I am still a person I paved the way for you.  I was young and agile once, tender and fresh faced too. I used to have young blissfull love that shone from within, now all the memories that I have...

some families become estranged
and their lives become rearranged
things are not like they used to be
 where heartache looms for you and me
when families split up
and away from them we have grown
God adopts us in his family
he takes us as his own
God is our lifeline
gentle and...

You gave us free will
But why nuclear devices?
Do you play games with our lives?
A score of one million to nil!!
Man we're up the creak 
And we're not collecting spices
The media's killed the flavour
And here come the chopping knives.

What is our potential for the near future?
No...

I didn’t want to let her down. She was a fellow teacher in the language institute and a very dear friend. When my husband went on trips, which was often, she’d look out for me, so when she made the suggestion to go to the...

I need you Mother to hold me
To feed me and hold me tight.
I rely on you always to be there
And to be with me day and night.

Mother I wish you’d stop fussing
You always embarrass me
I know you mean well but I wish you would leave
And...

Looking around our world today
Its war, sadness and coldness i see,
Knowing inside that something is wrong
For this isn't how our life should be.

We have young people dying in war
So much hatred causing us to fight,
Innocent people getting caught in the middle
Have we all forgotten this...

The world seemed dark and 
barren
And with few words light came 
raising greens to feed the earth.
A blind man who's eyes had 
never seen the light sat on the 
street
And with a plead of faith he 
called, then with dirt placed 
upon his face, his...

Oh, Father Dear!

When my children were small, I played with them, I was
a good father carried them on my shoulders, but when
they became teenagers and truculent I lost all interest in
their silly arguments paid for their education and went
abroad to live in our second home...
