Best Noblest Poems
Peace is not just the absence of war
Peace is the noblest goal to work for
Peace between mother and father, sister and brother
Peace between friends and strangers, and all the others
***********
Consider Aaron, the High Priest of Old
Who brought enemies together, so bold
To love peace, to pursue it, was Aaron's creed
Love of his fellow man, his greatest deed
He was Moses' older brother, yet humble, down-to-earth
His burning quest for peace the measure of his worth
*************
Peace needs step aside for Truth, some say
I say, True Peace ~ for Truth lights the way
AMERICA'S NOBLEST MOTIVE
"The noble man makes noble plans, and by noble deeds he stands" Isaiah 32:8
Decoration Day, declared,
For homes and everywhere.
Flags and flowers now in vogue,
Want us to be aware.
Battles rage, war goes on,
When will it cease?
Americans died in uniform,
Remember our own, please.
Memorial Day it now is called,
Our heroes names we read.
The sound of Taps, a mother's tears,
A sorrowing time indeed.
June 14th comes along,
Our flag to honor true.
For those colors many bled and died,
The red, the white and the blue.
Soon now, we do it again,
Independence Day is nigh.
Freedom bought with lives,
Raise the flag up high.
In November we honor Veternas,
All are heroes now.
Every gender, race, religion,
To you we humbly bow.
Are four days in a year enough,
Their service to recall?
Parents, families and friends,
Will kneel and praise them all.
Lord we give them back to you,
Your Promise to fulfill.
Thank you for sharing them here on earth,
We miss them still.

some wines have finesse
made from the noblest of grapes-
a poet's thirst is quenched
some wines have finesse
made from the noblest of grapes-
wine-musk of lovers
some wines have finesse
made from the noblest of grapes-
spirits invoke song
The noblest of slaves has four legs and a tail;
Has a bark or a whinny or a feline wail.
He suffers all things just to walk by your side,
And share your fate whatever betide.
He accepts his master just as he is.
Whether wealthy or poor he'll share what is his.
He will carry your burden, protect you from harm,
And cuddle beside you to keep you warm.
No matter what he puts your welfare first,
And for this loyalty he's looked down on and cursed.
When people wish to insult each other,
They call you a dog, with a ***** for a mother.
He'll take what scraps are thrown his way.
For his love and his loyalty this is his pay.
Left to live in the dirt and sleep in the cold,
And to die all alone when he's sick and old.
The noblest of slaves has four legs and a tail,
And I never have known him to falter or fail.
To rise to the call when his presence is needed,
And each time I come home with great joy I a greeted.
I'll always love each one I have known,
And cherish the time that we shared and have grown,
To see all the wisdom inate in their kind.
A better teacher and friend is impossible to find.
We call them dumb animals because they can't speak.
We think them stupid, that their minds are weak,
Because they accept the way that we treat them,
But we are the ones too stupid to see them,
For their strength and their wisdom, the blessings they are.
They outshine us in goodness and spirit by far.
I've not found a man or a woman yet,
With the goodness of spirit I'vefound in my pets.

James 3: 12 and Proverbs 15:1 have been paraphrased here in the following
poem. You are invited, dear reader, to kindly read those Bible verses before or
after reading this poem.
Teaching might be the noblest career;
But it has its dangers, in its rear.
Saint James warned us about this great trend,
That we might not fall before and bend
To worship some regretful mistake.
“How can the same source of water take
Pure sweet water and make it bitter? ”
In slanders every single letter
Causes the fire of hatred to grow;
But a kind answer frees and lets go!
For teaching is the noblest career;
But it has its danger, in its rear.
