Best Lot Of Hard Work Poems

you think it's easy
maybe your heart
doesn't bruise as quickly
maybe your mind
is a bastion of confidence
thick skinned indifference
maybe it's easier for you
could be true

As for me? Well…
I like to stay clear

the reason why?
it's not so easy for me
this survival thing, you see
takes...

Because I wouldn’t do what you wanted anymore.
That day was the worst of my life,
I wanted to die, to escape the strife.
All I needed was a simple letter,
To give me a chance to get better.
Now when I...

I asked a teenager 
"what do you want to be 
when you get older"

The Teenager replied 
"I want to be a mai·tre d'
and own my own restaurant"

"Have you got a plan"

"To succeed you need a plan"

"To be the mai·tre d'"
"you need to study...

Baby, My love, please listen to my heart,
You keep doing things to me without thinking,
And it tares my heart apart,
Which always brings me to my knees,
But sometimes it's like you don't care,
What you keep doing to my life,
Even though everyone else knows,
What you are doing...

Trying to become a new man
Requires a lot of hard work.
Alterations could become perks,
Noticed by both old and new fans.
Switch your form, whenever you can,
From the appearance of a jerk,
Or character flaws that may lurk;
Realigned to fit your new plan.
Make up your mind to make...

but never crumble

We pledged our vows before God and man,
But to have and to control was your only plan.

Let's blame the American's for our problem's

Truth is a treasure
hid in the sand
I’m always gonna keep
digging and digging
Flashing my searchlight,
looking and looking
I’m forever on the treasure hunt
Being a truth prospector is hard work,
you gotta go sift thru a lot of dirt
Caked up lies, built over time ... 
buried so deep, 
making...

We tend to dwell on what we are not,
And fail to notice that which we've got.

You've talents and skills that you haven't tried,
Abilities that others have tried to belie;

Skills and strengths, imagination,
Creativeness, determination,

So many reasons to believe,
That we can actually achieve,

The things of which we've...

On Christmas Eve, good children wait with glee
for what dear Santa leaves beneath the tree.
But think about dear Santa Claus because
there is a lot of hard work that he does!

You hang your stockings up for something sweet.
But do you know he’d also like a treat?
So...

I am a worker full time.
Every day, twenty four seven.
Most people are, yet they don't realize it.
The jobs are tough, and they take a lot of hard work.
I am always waist deep in work and thoughts.

I am a daughter,
Bound to do my best at everything,
Bound...
