Best Mend Poems

Make Do and Mend,

Years ago we had jobs
We had fun and money in our pocket
Things were much better then
Once you could go out the door
And never ever lock it

But still so many struggled
To buy food and pay the rent
There were a lot of big families
And money was soon spent
We’d borrow from our neighbours
There were no...

My life is at a standstill
Spent most of it getting my fill
In relationships that just didn't cut the deal
Letting go of the way past memories make me feel
Run over like a loose wheel
How being alone makes your heart feel the ice cold chill
When none of it feels like it was real

Then we reach for the...

O' Broken Heart, Tis Now Thy Time To Mend


Decades past,  when free love was all the rage
we were not told, bait for the golden cage.
In our race to grab wild hearts from the skies
we ate the sweet dessert and believed the lies.

O' lasting regret, where does thy pain dwell
when my body sleeps, my soul...

IN Memory Of Roger Dale Eubanks 
 
Roger
We both know the journey never ends
We spend most of our lives 
Trying to fend off anyone who is pretend
Defending our friendship untill the end
You have paved your way my good friend 
I know it's never goodbye as you ascend

You put your boots into the wind 
I hope...

Jesus will mend your broken heart
Jesus will heal every broken part
Jesus went to Calvary
So he could take the pain away

The pain you feel as you lay to sleep
Jesus wants you his peace to keep
He wants to take the pain away
He wants to take away the pain

He wants to make you whole again 
And so eternal...

A spectacle there before my eyes 

The return of love from a painful demise

Though time has passed for a heart to roam

Destiny beholds and guides us home

A reunion kiss breathless to share

Love to make beyond compare

Faithful gesture soft and sweet

Leaves us raptured and swept off our feet

A new beginning of truth be told 

A treasured...

Tim was nineteen years old, getting ready to go to university,
His parents had organised his accommodation 
A house for students, roomy, very near to outskirts of city,
His friends shared all costs, ready for their future education.
Tim went through his things at home very carefully,
Took his favourite clothes, guitar, and some trinkets,
Excitedly, finished his packing, when...

The power of one stitch
some may not comprehend;
though the garment is not fixed,
it is still a worthy mend.

Pull back to center of the gaping hole
what’s frayed, fragmented, torn;
one solid suture can bring new life
and fabric be reborn.

And though it seems imperfect,
it creates the perfect start to 
restore what seems beyond repair,
like the shattering of hearts.

I...

(letters to my presido-elect): i

good must be lucky
else
luck must be goody
that niger now lurks in seas of goody-goody

1960 as father sang
was her year unlucky
who dwelt
on many a natural grant
with sons great
that beheaded must
lie in tombs
the untimely tombs
of countless days

and now mend
your brutalised
your kwashiokored
your maimed
your exiled

for
good must be lucky
else
luck must be goody
that niger now lurks in...

To mend a broken heart you need
Some sticky tape and glue
Electric drill and hammer
And a quite substantial screw

Collect up all the shattered shards
And stick each damaged part
Wrap them up in tape and soon
You’ll have a working heart

But, if you’ve tried this method
And the technique’s not been mastered
Forget the hurt, put on your shirt
Then go out...

My hip is getting better since I broke it back in March.
The doctors say I'll be working again soon.
I'm behind in all my payments and I'm almost out of cash.
Not to worry I'll be on my feet in June....

A manual sewing machine
Strenuous but beneficial
It sews dresses
Two edges meet 
And being stitched together
Passion and reunion in life too
Two hearts meet and stay together
It  mends dresses
A hole in life must be patched too
Life isn't easy
Deficiency to be filled
Scars to be healed
Pains to be reduced
Misunderstanding to be unraveled
It corrects dresses
Corrections are made to life too
To...

 What thoughts have I, 
 in mind against its grain;
 aware, but in shallowness dressed,
 humanity’s drain, drowns my spirit’s health;
 beside myself, of doubt filled dreams,
 my cries, my fears, my failures scream;
 from where I come, to there I roam,
 this room, now an empty, hollow tomb;
 my soul possess, my...

Within ones mind,
we cannot tread,
unless invited,
a book unread.

Questions arise,
the penetration begins,
answers given,
for healing to begin.

Darkness erased,
then light filters in,
the process,
releasing sin.

Love can conquer,
love understands,
love is the difference,
love brings friends,
love is the first step,
for a heart to mend....
