Best Hope This Finds You Well Poems

The father you do not know,
loved you since the day you were born.
Held you carefully in his arms
and promised to always keep you warm.

The father you do not know,
never wanted you to see him weak.
He held you up so high,
so you could reach the sky.

I have several poems up about my Mama, Angel Manassian. Mama died on March 19, 2000 at the age of 74. She battled with MS for most of her life. She had me at 41...a surprise!

Turns out, Mama had MS even before she and dad...

I wrote you a letter, 
and then another letter,
and another, and another,
until I wrote you a word. 

So I wrote you a word,
and then another word, 
and another, and another, 
until I wrote you a sentence. 

So I wrote you a sentence, 
and then another...

Just for you . . .
I find happiness in a smile
Just for you . . .
I long for the night
Just for you . . .
I walk an uncomfortable mile
Just for you . . .
I mean these words I write

Just for you . . .
I believe...

My dearest love, I hope this finds you well.
You said you needed time apart to think.
My world has shattered, and each day is hell
without you! Into nothingness I sink.  
I know how frightened you’ve been to commit
to our relationship.  And when you said
you...

We arrived with expectations of triumph
There were agonies, desperations and tears
Coloring the hills with melancholy shades
Erasing the imaginings of soldier’s anguish
Embracing loss from the heights of passion
Where worries win and misery invites pain
To grasp the soul with a sense of forbode
Whispering despair through breaths of...

Dearest, former self
I hope this finds you well
I’ve learned a thing or two
From this weathered, carousel 

It will not cease to spin
And knows of no reverse
You can count on ups and downs
In this ironic universe

Be forewarned, the paint will chip
The music will grow tired
Read my...

Quote By Poet "A letter can hold a smile.
Write one today and give a smile to someone special."

Words can tell a story,
some could be dressed in glory.
How about a loving letter,
what could be better.
A little piece of paper wearing a big smile,
placed in a pretty...

How unparticular the day had particularly been,
On March the third of two-thousand and eighteen,
For the caretaker at an historic Adirondack Inn,
Had lacked company, and therefore, dopamine.

 ‘Twas Sunday when all the guests had fled,
From either boredom or towards it in vocation,
For two-day vacations left this...

Approaching the winter of my years,
Never yet found my reason.
So much laughter, so many tears,
Yet all that’s sure is the season.

To few, all my days;
So many spent simply breezin’.
Should I regret their waste
When all that’s sure is the season?

What’s it been about anyway?
Perhaps there is...

Sometimes when I read about love
And I am into the page
And I remember myself when I was
Coming of age
I don’t see any reason to not ever
Give this away
I see no musical instrument
For me to play
But I will sing alone as I wait out
Everyday

Seems to me...
