Best Look On Poems

In back of the crowd looking on
dreaming of being out in front
no longer lingering in shadows
of one like you

Eyes fixated on pirouettes
every step in perfection
lace floating through air
letting out  you

Flights fought in fright 
feet trapped in cobwebbed lies
wishing  to be like that
where one...

A loveable man was Janitor Stan
Ever willing to help to give and serve
A gentle man of modest plan
With never a protest, frown or reserve

Always saw the brighter side of life 
Though his cards were not dealt from the top of the pile
In that testing game...

It's a wonder how we get through life's start
  with tears flowing from the first depart
but still we take that breath and bravely forge ahead,
  wondering what we could have done instead.
We cry, we shudder and  we laugh, 
  we eat,...

The Look On My Child’s Face…

Just yesterday I noticed a look of
 love on my child’s face.
This happened in a most  “ordinary place.”

It was in our home.
 A place by God’s design.
I felt God speaking to my heart
 this particular time.

I didn’t take any...

Verse 1:
If there's a song in your heart nothing can keep you apart
From love ,real love
If there's a tune in your ear, a lightness in your step- suddenly appears

Never look on trouble but...

When the kids are complaining
'cause it won't stop raining,
To be stuck indoors just sucks.
Don't let them pout,
Instead point out,
It's lovely weather for ducks!

When you're feeling blue
'cause your bills are due,
And you've got more checks than bucks,
Don't take to drink,
Count to ten and think,
It's lovely weather...

Sometimes, I waste time and it drives me crazy 
I’ll try to smile and listen to music that will uplift me,
Otherwise, I’m doing well and I know God is looking after me

I have too many fears…and it’s hard to face them
My heart begins to race…but...

The rain taps on the window, the sky is dead and grey,
I explain to my children that we can't go out today,
No walking to the local shop to buy the boring food
the co-op where it's overpriced and all the staff are rude,

The t.v's on a...

I need to find a way to open up to you…open me up like a corridor in the Castle of 
Freedom – why are you stuck in place while I am free in space?
I need to grasp reality…I never really saw the good, brighter side...

I have become a moaner,
Huffing, puffing, growling, groaner
I find it hard to bend and stretch
My dog is too old to 'Go fetch'
'You fetch yourself.' my old pooch said.
As he snuggled up in his doggy bed.
I totter outside to get the paper,
That's lying on the lawn
It's...

I could tell from the look on his face that things were not going his way,  the numbers have been overwhelming but the people have been deceiving him; some people with bad intention tells him what he wants to hear but the reality is...

I knew the look on her face
before when she had struggled
back towards daylight
and her eyes seldom revealed
the guarded edge of her pain

Then I saw her find
a new love
a magical, soul opening
brave beauty
and I knew her joyful
heart by
The look on her face

Now I can barely stand
to...
