Best Learn The Ropes Poems

I look and ponder, watch you grow in haste
Explore with wonder, new experience taste
No fear encountered as you learn the ropes 
Your sails adjusting, full with winds of hope.

But there are moments when the seeds of doubt
Without much warning spread and start to sprout 
Then...

Every family has them
These unsettling times these misunderstandings
Times when many things come into play
In most cases these wee spats are soon over and forgotten
But sometimes differences run deeper
Because of other factors
Such as jealousy, middle child syndrome personality
It's only human nature at play
The necessity for all...

If finding good times is your wish
And poetry your favorite dish,
Then visit us. The soup is on!
It’s piping hot and never gone.

And with so much to see and do,
This place is hopping!  Rabbit stew
Has got to be our specialty
Because we move so rapidly.

She arrived from the big city
wearing a red ten-gallon hat,
and a denim stone-washed outfit
which topped off her shiny new 
cowboy boots that were designed
by Tucson Sue.

This dude ranch cowgirl had a secret,
she never rode a horse in her life,
she knew it was time to learn...

Father And Son
 
--Mirrored Refrain—
--xaBA xbAB xaBA xbAB xaBA xbAB—
--Father and Son—

Fare thee well, to humbly exist and live for my son
If he feels blue, I’ll be his clown
Everything will be fine and dandy
As a father knows best

Mother having the hand that rocks...

My Time


Time is laid upon me
To nourish by virtue and unspoiled
Choose from a road – concrete or soiled
Learn the ropes from every tempting epitome

Chasing time or run out of time
Precisely or faulty, I succumbed to pressure
From naïve unsteady step to a walk in...

Out across the countryside 
looking for his blushing bride
The knight with Xena did collide.
He asked her for her mighty hand
she said you just don't understand
I'm now the leader of a band
of acrobats from Zanzibar
so come with us ,it's not too far
ole Hercules has got a...

Greedy Vets 
I spend my days with greedy Vets,
It is plain for all to see.
My vets are very greedy,
For their labor there is a fee.

Their greed for knowledge is endless.
Their greed for answers is clear.
Their greed to heal consuming.
To fail their biggest fear.

Many years of...

Actions speak louder than words, it's true.
Folks may doubt what you say but they'll always believe what you do.

Don't let the best you have done in the past be the standard for the rest of your life. Keep on truckin' . Practice makes perfect.

The greatest...

You have high hopes
For your kids
To grow up and
"Learn the ropes."

Then they grow 
And soon you know
If this kid is
Gonna go.

Go to the moon,
Go far and soon
Their dreams take
Flight and soar.

They roar like lions,
Soar like eagles
To treetops....

The happy nest
inspires; expires.
Chirping papa
sends his regards
with memories -

flying solo,
of his marriage;
and the mundane -
the bills and chores.

Listening aids
one left behind.
I incline to
get an earful.

I learn the ropes.
I see him smile.
Mourning’s over.
Gets on with life.

He’d not agree,
but neither do
honeymooners 
admit when it’s 
over and they
settle...

Hands
By
Jude Kyrie

I think back across the ether of time
measured in long ago faded years.
I think of Mom and Dad
and My older sister.
What I miss about
them is their hands.

Hold my hand
as we cross the road said Mom.
Ride your two wheeler
I will hold the seat
with my hand...

Have you ever been in the valley of the shadow of doubt...
Trying to make sense of what faith is all about?

Early believers walked this trail...
Even the Emmaus disciples had wide eyed stories to tell.

The disciples too had hearts full of doubt...
And they asked themselves what...

Hands
By
Jude Kyrie

Mind wandering in my chair.
I travel back in a  time long ago.
So many years have flown bye.
As many as the falling leaves
in autumn.

I think of Mom and Dad
and my older sister.
They have all gone now.
It's strange, what I miss about
them are their hands.

Hold...
