Best Offer Up Poems

Writing talent is not judged by gender
although the sexes may often disagree
but we should never be an offender
when reading offered lines of poetry

Lines written by the hand of a gifted poet
make us contemplate their words in awe
so leave a comment, letting them know it
overlook what...

I can't promise you forever
For it's not mine to give
Today is what I offer you
For as long as I shall live

I can't promise you I'm worth it
For it's you that must decide
My love is what I offer you
And all I have inside

I can't promise you...

                          All that I can offer, are my prayers,

All I Can Offer Is

to feel the beat
of her faltering heart;
to hear her fits of grief;
to heed her voice of sorrow;
to rail with her at life’s thief;

to hold
her candle
in its flutter;
to sit with her;
not one word utter.

I was driving down Webb road, with the thoughts I’ve had all week,
And that is upon the crayfish that I net in Shady Creek,
Webb road is not a long one, but it’s narrow and it winds, 
And scrub that’s clinging to the edge is thick...

They say you applied
Did you apply or they applied
For you?  Now they have supplied.

But have conveniently forgotten
To supply you with the vital kitten
That should take you to their kitchen.

You are mired in grave job frustration
You can`t bother of their company registration
You see nothing but...

Don't stop me now... I'm on a roll

The words are literally flying out of my brain

I can't type fast enough... need a secretary

Any offers? Payment will be in the form of hugs

Uh! No worries... everything will be proper

(Actually I can't promise that... but I'll give...

I wish we could
sit in a soft field 
of flowers and bask
in the sun on our
faces-I'd do it alone and
think of you and what
you would say in the
inspiritational message-
the sharing in the simplicity,
in the humaness of the 
moment-in the sheer 
joy to be in a...

Don’t offer me a prescription.
For my problems or my pain
Just let me take my shoes off
And go walking in the rain

Don’t give me no advice
From your theories obsolete
Just let me feel the “BIG BANG”
From my head down to my feet

Don’t share with me your "TALL...

I offer you an onion,
Instead of an apple,
That's all what I can offer you, 
For the time being,
I can tell you now,
And reveal what's in the parcel,
Do not get excited, do not expect,
I don't want you to have the shock and the effect,
Do not get...

In order for us to redeem the time we need to give God our best 
and be willing to do all He asks as proof of where our faith rests
as it's not about how much you've given but has your faith been consistent
in offering all...

I gave you a piece of me,
This doesn’t make you,
Necessarily a cannibal
I missed that piece all of a sudden,
I tried to take it back,
But you had it already in your stomach,
And dumb happiness reflected on your face.
I felt suddenly sad,
I’d lost a piece of me,
But...

I’ve been single for all of my life,
But not because I wanted to be.
I’ve always wanted to be a wife,
But it just hasn’t happened for me.

I look at others who are married
And often wonder how they got there.
It’s not that I have to be carried,
But...
