Best Package Poems

you are unique
with your bundle of talents
quirks and flaws
qualities and strengths

appreciate your self
as you would
the most precious friendship
on all levels
intellectual
emotional
spiritual
with
respect and gratitude

think of yourself
as your own best friend
forever loyal and supportive

The Package

This is a tiny prayer.
Do not let the size of it, 
Belittle its importance. 
The miracle is often in the details.
It has been prayed on your behalf.
There is no expiration.  
You don't have to do...anything. 
It is a gift. 
In Jesus name, 
Amen....

getting old
sitting on my rocker
waiting for mail 

a package
from Amazon 
with my first fast elder walker with seat

they say that this fast elder walker with seat
could last 
up to ten years to the day

I do pray 
that this walker 
is not my last 

and that...

on the fancy package 
it came in
it did not say
that smoking this 
might  be bad for your health --

So
in a dark corner of the room
I lit up my iPhone
smoked it 
and felt
satisfied....

A stomach virus laid me out,
My husband down as well
And then we were surprised to hear
Somebody ring the bell.

Two bags delivered to our door
With Gatorade and soup,
Saltines and even Alka-Seltzer,
Quite a sickbed group.

Our son arranged to save the day
With Amazon – the Prime –

VALENTINE PACKAGE

Plea.

this cold region – michigan
i must make it clear
limbs are frozen all the time
please melt the ice, valentine

Forever Yours – plus that old time candy

struck with love like a dumb ox
cannot be clever
no sweet candy in a box

a constanza

When justice suffers miscarriage,
and government’s way out of scope,
One judge stands firm - Jesus, our hope.

Christ speaks with clear, simple language. 
In mercy and truth, without flaw,
“I have come to fulfill God’s law.”

One policy shapes His salvage.
His righteousness consists thereof –
His blood for our...

On my way to Pleasant Grove
I  found myself in Lehi
I feel so lost and all alone
And no one here can find me

I left last month from Dallas town
A gift for poems borrowed
I'm sitting in a real dark place
'cause no one here can find me

Dear Santa, this is what I want this Christmas
A Papa with or without a long mustache 
With a Mama, either short, tall, slim or fat
Who can carry me for I’ve grown enough.
I’ve been in this orphanage for ten years
I’ve many toys from you,  I’ve...

The package lay against the ground
Earthy in tones, neutral nothing to be desired
Hundreds walked by without as much as a glance
Until one slim muscular young man took notice
His creamy chocolate eyes could not look away from this simple package

Vanilla crème filled doughnuts were always his...

See that shiny package, on the upper row
Its base cardboard shelf mate, is not the way to go
There must be embossed letters, of metallic sheen
And it must be shrink wrapped, so it's always clean 

Add a few more staples, and a cute twist tie
You know...

Hearing the news of 9/11 again...and it makes me look back at that destructive day
I remember it slightly...it's a sheer memory in my mind, but at least it's sunny today 
Reading signs all around me and feeling at ease for a while
Taking a trip in...

I'd got out the hammer, the hatchet and pliers
To attack the package of plastic and wires.
     But the fix was so tricky,
     The stickum so sticky,
I'd not even scratched it when I set it on fire!...
