Best Live To A Ripe Old Age Poems

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...

A Dedication To He That This Old Poet Truly Admires

Her friends all departed before her,
No one was left to mourn her passing,
The curse of being somewhat blessed
With a life that is long lasting.

She buried her husband twenty years ago;
Lived in solitude ever since;
Every obituary she read of a friend
Brought tears and made her wince.

Of...

Send her victorious, happy and glorious
Long may she reign over us, she sure took that serious
She's close to a century
She ain't done yet evidently
If I live to her ripe old age, I'll be delirious...

Another winding road, another hardship.
"Builds character," they say;
Well, I must be one helluva character by now I guess.
Still I smile and laugh at myself for the little quirks i have.
Like enjoying how a sneeze feels;
Ahh, Im still alive

But Truth Is Life And Love Is So Very Much More

Yes, these words do fly away from a poet's heart

There were flowers everywhere, more than he could ever pick.

And anyway, it would...

Well, he walked away mid august,
Was following the yellow moon;
If he had left a letter there,
Would've said I won't be back too soon.
And not one time did he look back
At that house upon the plains;
He prayed that those crops would grow
And family survived the pain.

I’m Not Fifteen,
death won’t be sneaking up
on me, cause of something stupid
I can’t stop myself from, not doing.

I manage to still be alive, with thoughts running 
through my head of situations I put myself in,
