Best Leaming Poems
An exuberant falcon she is, isn’t she?
Being the aviator of my flight of thoughts.
Cares less she to heed, whenever in adoration, I
Do call her for a chat - she is a mischievous trickster.
Every time she dawdles, I give her a gentle prod;
For then, she arrives in ripples of reasoning,
Gleaming in reflections of my own contemplations.
Hues of insights kindle my mind’s spectrum as
I follow her to the unexplored layers of landscape - a
Journey for the moment - as we drift across the
Kaleidoscope of nature, when through seamless
Loops of thoughts, I crochet and disperse my ink
Meandering over dreamy mangroves of my mind.
Now she’s disappeared, but where’s she gone?
Oh, she can vanish in a flash like a lightning! - a
Playful penguin - it’s hard to grab her attention; the
Quick-witted queen of my boundless imagi-Nation, who
Refills my thought pot and sows fresh seeds of fancy.
Sometimes with her capricious flaps, she glides away
To coax her to stay back more is beyond my ability.
Upon the labyrinth of life, we travel together.
Voices of many a mind, whispering and rumbling,
We hear as we ponder on the vast sea of life. My
Xanadu of inspiration, when she appears out of nowhere.
Yes, she feeds my brief reveries with pearls of perception - a
Zealous advocate, she is, of my passionate ink.

Gleaming in the sun, my cherry-red skin
Low, throaty purring, ready engine’s sound
Over the chalked line, tires screech, we begin
Road blurs, turquoise Mustang fades, I am crowned
Yesteryear still lives in my heart, tearing
Days of rusted glory are never drowned
Ages since I’ve seen the face of caring
You stop your car and stare with knowing grin
Springsteen’s song on your radio, blaring

A visit to the graveyard will bring
you sadness of,
saying goodbye to a love one or friend,
Today I went to say goodbye to my
dear brother who I
truly loved so.
He was a friend I could always count on,
for so many years, he had such warmth
around him and through his heart.
He was my hero and idol, who I really
looked up to, many times growing up,
he gave me his last dime.
So many times he brought me smiles
with his humor, that he carried
to my soul.
Darrell I want you to know how much
I truly love you and will miss
you so much.
Saying goodbye for now my friend and
dear brother, just wait a little longer
I will be up there to see you and mom once again.

Happy birthday mom,
today you would have been
one-hundred-three,
hard to believe you have
been gone almost ten years.
Mom you use to tell me,
to call you, write you,
said I would, but never did,
over and over you told me,
someday I won't be here,
mom I know that, I will write,
I will call, but never did.
You always wrote, always called,
whenvery we parted, I would always
say, if I don't see you again
will see you in heaven.
Today mom, wished I could call
and tell you how much love have
I for you, so nice if could send
a birtdday card to you, that's not
to be, so this poem says it all.
Mom growing up, thought
you would be here for ever, never
dreaming of losing you.
Mom wished I could be like
you, so giving, so caring.
You always thought of others
never of your self, you always
lifted me up, encouraging me is so
many ways, your faith in me
amazed me so.
So mother dear, hape a happy
birtday in heaven, love you so,
someday soon, will say happy
birtday to your face.

R-iver is not running dry,
I-t instead overflows;
N-ice graces from God
A-re falling from heaven's windows.
B-lessings come flowing
O-n June seventeenth day;
L-ike a water from a stream,
A-lways going down the bay.
N-ot running dry is the river,
T-ruly it endlessly cascades;
E-ver clear and bountiful, God's kindness never fades.
V-ery well we all receive
E-arly light in the morning;
R-aindrops fall from the sky,
G-leaming stars in the evening.
A-s we give thanks to the Lord,
R-emember the reason why;
A-ll that we need He provides, river is not running dry.

You were the sunshine of
my life.
Memories of long ago,
you were there for me.
Your heart was always
open to all of my
hurts and worries.
When dark clouds,
hanged over my head,
you were the sunshine of my life.
You were always there,
to encourage and push
me on.
Your arms around me,
when trouble times came,
always wipped away those tears.
Miss you so much mother dear,
days now so dark, without
your sunshine in my life.

C-omforting break of day
H-as made you rise from bed;
E-arly light has brought
R-apture to your head.
R-efreshing break of morn makes heart gladly glow;
Y-our mind denies the pain, your life has left the sorrow.
A-nother delightful dawn
B-reaks and shines so bright;
D-ay twenty-fifth October
O-bliterates the chill of
N-ight.
G-leaming break of day
A-llows your soul to greet;
R-ise of the sun begins,
C-reating rays you meet.
I-t's nice to wake up early, opening a prayer to say;
A-llow your spirit to taste comforting break of day.

N-ew day is about to break,
E-arly fifteenth of January;
T-he dark evening shadow
H-as turned to morning glory.
L-ovely day is about to break,
I-nside the zone of dawn;
U-sing the ray of light
G-leaming neath the beacon.
A-llow the sun to rise, so I can buy a birthday cake;
N-ight will fade away, day is about to break.

A-dmired for beauty and excellence,
L-ea' daughter is so precious;
L-asting brilliance in existence
I-s so great and tremendous;
A-round the world, yes, there is
H-ighly prized jewel you cannot lose.
G-leaming perfection of her
E-mblazes the 26th day much brighter,
M-aking her radiance shine this October.
