Best Make The Best Of It Poems

Quality of time, choose how it’s spent
This moment will never be again
It cannot be bought, borrowed or lent

Just a relived memory then
Cherish it, feel it, look all around
This moment will never be again

Hold details in sight and all of the sound
Time won’t stop, so what...

Early morning hours greet me quietly after my rest
All that can be heard, are the birds calling from the trees
As the darkness fades and the light of day emerges,
My mind is clear, my body calm, as what stands before me

I was five years old when the war was over 
August, 1945, and my daddy sent word 
He was on his way home from Guadalcanal. 
Grandma was already preparing a feast 
For the family to celebrate his homecoming. 
Momma took her last ration token from...

what do you do when your enemies are friends
plot them against eachother?
hold them back for as long as you can

do you believe in revenge for the scar i left upon you i cannot heal?
i did not seek you out
its like a ghost story
but if your...

Lately  things change rapidly, as if the world is spinning...
Everything is momentary, one thing to the next
Working hard to survive the hurdles that continue,
since a whirlwind of disruption uprooted my life
I still see a beautiful sunset or special clouds pass by
All the while I...

I woke up in the middle of the night with tears running from my eyes. I woke up in the middle of the night because my spirit cries
It is not the tear that falls when I am lonely; it is not the tear that fall...

I wish I could have 
    seen Theodore Roosevelt 
Eugene Debs, Calvin Coolidge
    speak their minds
I wish I could travel back 
in time to see Daniel Webster,
meet Lewis and Clark 
    I wish time was malleable
And...

Yolo make it count
you only live once they say
Make the best of it...

Life can be glorious and life can be serene
Life can be discouraging and life can be mean
Life can be first love and life can also be its loss
Life can be a helping hand and life can be an albatross
Life can be a soft caress and...

I wish to lean towards the extraordinary
Just a bit beyond mundane and ordinary
All the while avoiding stupidity
As I move through life's problems with fluidity
Being bold enough to avoid my passivity  
So that I can approach my human capacity.
Without being consumed by my own naivety...

The world is filled with good people

But sometimes they just lose their way

As newborns, we all start out the same

With the same joy for life and enthusiastic outlook

THEN we grow up and think to ourselves

“WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING!

If I'd realized what the world...

Here is another poem for you to ponder
As I sit here and let my mind wander
Are you all you think you can be?
Or are you a drain on society?

Look in the mirror and stare at your soul
You are the one that has to carry the...

Just having some fun

The taxes are coming but I am broke
No food to eat but some porridge and soup 
It seems that life right now is very hard
Now I am on the road to the poorhouse

The roof is in sore need of much repair
The pots...

You’ve pushed the boat out once again
You’re out there on the beach
With the one you chose
 to exchange your vows
Were the best ones out of reach?

Well you’ve done it now the deed is done
So make the best of it
Treat him mean 
and keep him keen
Avoid...
