     Stand my ground
You taught me not to

wrote in crayon, then gave pens a whirl;
I made mistakes- lots of spelling errors,

But, I was just a little girl with stories to tell,

She said "I'll show you mine
if you're willing to show me yours."
I didn't waste a second
I promptly dropped my drawers!

I was rather embarrased
She looked and started to giggle
My little man was at attention
While the boys  did their jiggle

After she stopped her laughing
I thought it...

She
Taught me
To love her
So completely
Inch by precious inch
Me   a   willing    student
Not  once    was  I  discouraged
She helped me practice night and day
With her there were no  l i m i t a...

The first time I received a 1
a smile was pasted on my face,
the sun arose in my dim heart
and a sleeping poet woke up.

The sponsor became my Favourite.

Lessons Well Learned

(from The John Poems)

You taught me what love is
     then took it away.
You became my sunlight
      then banished the day.
You awakened my body
      to love of a man
Then condemned...

Animals animals all we are
Have come from the jungle that's oh so far!
Happily happily we came dancing here
With many lessons that you all have to hear.

I am the ferocious lion king
The song of Valour is what I sing
Never take a step back in times of...

I once met a broken heart ,
It said it longed for love.
And it'd been yearning so long !
It said there's no God above.
.
For if there was, a God there,
 It wouldn't have to suffer.
And live a life that had  ,
Made  its survival tougher.
.
So...

Whichever pathway you decide to choose,
They’ll always be lessons and lots of clues.
On every pathway, lessons will exist, 
Finding truth will require that you persist.

Walking a path, does not learning assure.
Takes more than presence, learning to secure.
From your doubt you ask, “why aren’t I learning?”
Lacking...

We fell in love and married young,
others said we couldn’t know.
Who else could truly know my heart,
or which way I should go?

We all must choose the path to walk,
and how we’ll live each day.
It makes no difference the choice we make,
if we take God along...

With imperfection, introspection 
And a measure of over arching dejection 
Comes insight
So I've noted a truth or two
Do get comfortable and I'll share a few

Say you're dancing, having fun
And some sideline sneerer mocks
Forget them, they matter not
They aren't the one that rocks

Rushing about, making life...

I came into the world with my hands folded.
Yet they welcomed me with laughter and danced the sorrow away for tomorrow.
Soon, I could no longer walk with my four legs,
I became a little star, running around the field with two legs.

I sat inside a rolling...
