Best Help Poems

I’m tired
I’m Physically and Emotionally tired
I don’t want to be the strong one anymore
I can’t this time
I don’t know what to do Daddy
I need your help down here

I can’t get back in control of my emotions 
I’m having a hard time dealing with your absence
I’m...

I knew this day would come
When I'd lose you from my sight
I won't be able to devour you
I'll miss that scrumptious bite

Seems everyday you were there for me
You were my afternoon delight
So rich, nutty, and delicious
I should have held you tight

I feel so down without...

Where do I begin
To ask the question
And do I divulge my sin
Reveal obsession
Please I need your wise advice
I’m walking on thin ice
What if I pay the price

Will I regret this choice
Do I roll the dice
Trust my inner voice
Play this lottery 
blank uncertainty
Of possibility
Drowning in the...

O Lord, my God, I need your help,
I don't know what to do.
Fear and worry have gained control,
I need to hear from You.

Be still, My child, and know I'm here,
Open your eyes and see,
I am your Rock and your Strong Tower,
Come hide yourself in Me.

Lord,...

Can a man, who does not believe,
Fall to his knees,
And beg some relief?

Can one, who has been given,
The life of a dream,
Ball his fists?
Nails dug into the palms till they bleed…
Look to the heavens and scream…

And be heard?

Is it right to love something so damn...

Conflict was in turmoil at the thought 
    of what he'd done.
And the walls were quickly closing...
    so he was forced to run.
Danger lurked at every turn
     to threaten his existence.
His only choice was to...

Spring takes me for a long walk in the park;
with emerald trees
swaying in the breeze.
And I hear the chirps of a meadowlark;
sung to captivate,
and attract a mate.
A bushy-tailed squirrel scampers up a tree;
and then immediately starts scolding me,
and I can't help but smile.

The grass feels...

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...

You live to love,
When you love to give.
That life you never had
Like forever, had no wealth.
Still had a hand to help.

All I have is
dreams for myself
grand plans for world
and words to rhyme with strength.

The world will change,
it depends on range 
of rage or love we...

There's so many times I call on you
for the needs of the day,
Day or night you are always there
when I kneel down to pray.
So I thought with all the things you do
I'd just call  on you to say,
Is there anything I can do for...

The sparkle of charity is alive and well
It’s the grounds for cohesion and solidarity
Making spiritual gardeners of us all

Goodwill marries kindness
Sharing bounty with open heart
And helping hand inspired by faith

Benevolence born of compassion
And hope aimed to appease
Brethren down on their luck

A heart that’s pure gives...

When you float in outer space
with no one else around,
it gets a little lonely
and you start to miss the ground.

The familiar touch of Mother Earth
and friends to share the news,
is the kind of isolation
that can give someone the blues.

But you don't have to be in...

Thank God I have a Brother!
He fixes up the truck,
I sometimes give him money,
Whenever he gets stuck.

(Not just for up and fixin’
The truck – not what I mean
‘f I tried, he wouldn’t take it)
It’s just that times ‘re lean.

His poor bald head works harder,
Than any...

the dream’s
to make 
a difference
an impact
in someone’s life
to spark
that twinkle
in their eye
and stir
the passion
in their heart

Painting You

Before painting, I first sketch you
In my mind’s eye…To compose
The lines, shapes, shadows and lights, 
That work altogether to form a semblant sight
Of you for any relative, friend or acquaintance…

Next, I embrace the required courage
To face the blank canvas; to dip my brush 
In...
