Best Milestones Poems

It rained the first day
It rained the last
Tears fell each time
It’s moving too fast

So many days in between 
Victories and regrets
A painfully beautiful time
Another giant step

Once again, I sit and reflect
As the crying sky mourns
I realize how helpless I’ve been
Starting the day they were born...

If life is one long journey,
There are milestones on the way,
From birthdays and bar mitzvahs
To a graduation day.

A wedding and a baby’s birth
(Or two or three or four),
A moving day or brand-new job
Are other ways to score.

A prize, award or write-up
Of accomplishments will count
When milestones...

Late repast
Mealtime message;
Food invigorates

~~~~~~~~~


Joy spreads
Peanut butter bread;
Poignant taste

~~~~~~~~~


Fish head curry
White rice paradise;
Earthly ambrosia

~~~~~~~~~


Family meal
Celebratory moods;
Evening delights

~~~~~~~~~


Premium durian feast
Pleasure primes palates;
Mangosteen topping

~~~~~~~~~


Tuesday month-end
June succumbs;
July takeover

~~~~~~~~~


By and by
Here and there;
Anxious punctuation

~~~~~~~~~


Mystic mathematics
One upon zero;
Infinity presides

~~~~~~~~~


Pineapple slices
Everyday desserts;
Meal aftermath

~~~~~~~~~


Two hands full 
Groceries in tow;
Bounty enroute

~~~~~~~~~


Late morning siesta
Heavy constellations;
Dizzy...

You learn how to crawl before you can walk
Then pull up; let go; give a step a chance
Little by little you’ll learn how to talk
And you finally stop wetting your pants

You’ll be starting school in just a few years
Give Mom a big kiss; on the...

Milestones in Life 
By Franklin Price
11/13/2015

Milestones in life are passing
Time stops for none at all
From the day that we are born
Not so  long before we crawl

Then unsteady steps we take
Next thing you know we run
Passing by the markers
Headed for the setting sun

The first day...

Out racing on a long-stemmed flight,
I heard the air of duskfall snap
With warm murmurings that delight,
To let the jaybird's croon recap
A rustling through the meadow shade,
Where silver huffs of evening glow
Past smokey miles and frosted jade,
A drive where cornfields bend to row.
This fidgin not quite...

For our son’s milestones, we rejoice
seeing his choice
for triumph gain
conquering pain.

Thanking the Lord* that he strives well
we let doubts quell
since hope persists
as heart insists.

Victory by faith we do claim
midst progress aim
for special child
notably styled.

*2Chronicles 5:13 …Make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking...

To the epitome you desire,
The journey you undertake,
Is antonym in nature,
As compared to the pleasures,
You on reaching finally avail.
The path is gloomy,
Frustrating, depressing,
Tiring, misleading;
Enough to push you,
Out in the oblivion, 
Where you become timid,
Where you decide to quit….
Start again, night is over,
It’s a new day,...

A thousand adventures 
A hundred love stories
Stimulating emotions 
Milestones met in time 

Words igniting the imagination 
Changing their faces
Distorting the lines of reality
Merging minds as one

Style and rhythm 
Rhyme and reason
Time is racing forward
To relive a thousand dreams...

bedroom posters down
moving van pulls away slow-
childhood fades from view...

I passed my driving test when I was seventeen,
then I could vote at eighteen, didn't know what it would mean;
my first blow-job was a cause for celebration,
but when I was limp, turned out to be a deflation.

Fashion lured me to a pair of pointed shoes,
making...

Milestones achieved
Years of obtaining your dreams
Freely living life...

MILESTONES
Small stone posts stuck in the ground,
mark life’s fleeting journey.

From birth to death these small posts,
remind us of our odyssey.

Some people have stones aplenty,
while others not so many.

These small stones tell the tales,
of all our triumphs and tragedies.

A stone is etched,
with our first cry.

With our...
