Best Riginal Poems
Let the flags all stop their waving,
Let the traffic lights turn red.
I was informed this morning,
That my best friend was dead.
Let all the world be still,
Stop the sands of time.
Stop the presses, stop the show,
This man was a friend of mine.
Let there be no laughter,
Not even to hide a tear.
You have taken my greatest treasure,
and decided to leave me here.
Life now has no meaning,
there's no project I want to start.
Stop all the things that I once loved,
then stop my beating heart.

LOVE"
Love is like a tickle
That starts within your heart.
It has a need to move along
To someone else's heart.
So don't be afraid to let it go,
It's something it has to do,
and as soon as it finds another heart.
It comes right back to you.

My guitar just called out your name,
I wasn’t even thinking of you.
I went to pick it up, brushed the guitar strings…..
And my guitar just called out your name.
Maybe I’m going insane,
But I even heard your name in the rain,
I've heard it on the wind, and I heard it once again,
When my guitar just called out your name.
I know that I will never get over you,
I still can’t believe that were through.
Memories remain, and I sure felt the pain,
When my guitar just called out your name.
I miss you so much that I could die,
But life goes on so everyday I try
to live my life without you but I’ll never be the same
and my guitar just called out your name.
Yes my guitar just called out your name,
I wasn’t even thinking of you.
I went to pick it up, brushed the guitar strings..........
And my guitar just called out your name........
(Most female names are two syllables so pluck the
Open B string followed by the open G string
for the finish of the song)

So you want to get to know me,
you want me in your life.
Your friends have said that I'd be good for you,
But can you trust their judgement?
do you think they know me well?
Do they know that I will make demands of you?
You see I'm quite demanding,
I'll use up all your time.
I'll make you spend it with me day and night.
And when you want to leave,
I'll be tugging at your sleeve,
And you know that I will make you stay the night.
Do you know that I'm expensive?
Do you think you can afford me?
I'm not as cheap as ladies in your past.
But I always will be there,
when you have the time to spare
and your love for me will last, and last, and last.
So come and spend an evening,
See how much you love me.
In the morning I can promise you'll be back.
I never will divorce you,
I'll never let you go,
I know you'll never ever be the same.
You'll never want to leave me.
You just have to believe me.
You see this ladies name is ....................

"The Autopsy"
They wheeled his body into the room.
Covered with a clean white sheet.
The doctors were methodical,
yet at the same time quite discreet.
They studied it in sections, one area at a time.
and although their search was thorough,
there were a few things they could not find.
They couldn't find the memory of the one he loved so dear,
and they couldn't find the passion that he felt when she was near.
They couldn't find his pride, or the bounce within his step.
Though the smile he had when he saw her hasn't left him yet.
And they couldn't find the pleasure that he felt year after year.
And if they searched his entire body they would never find it there.
Yes the body was being studied to try and find a clue.
Why his life had ended early, why his life on earth was through.
The doctors with all their training didn't know where to start.
For they couldn't have known she left him .........
and he died from a broken heart.

Life is like a hot cup of coffee.
Don't rush it, enjoy it slowly.
Feel the warmth.
Make it last as long as you can,
and enjoy it with friends.

What has happened to happiness?
I can’t find it anywhere.
I used to see it on my street,
But it seems to have disappeared.
I’ve looked for it at my place of work,
It doesn’t seem to be there.
It isn’t in my neighborhood,
I can’t find it anywhere.
So I asked my friends to look for it,
And tell me when they find it.
One of them got tired of looking,
So I told him never mind it.
He said that he’d been looking for it,
Year, after year, after year.
To make him keep on searching,
Simply wasn’t fair.
I was running out of patience,
This search was driving me wild.
I was just about to give it up,
When I spoke to a little child.
Happiness was all around,
With a smile from ear to ear.
Nothing but happiness could be found.
No sign of worry or fear.
So take a hint from this little child,
And your search will come to an end.
Love this life just the way it is,
And happiness will come from within.

Note:
Happiness is something you can only give yourself.
Don't expect others to give it to you.
You need to start small like a child
find simple things around you. A flower, clouds,
Rain, birds and so on. Once you are grateful
for the simple things around you you will notice
many other wonderful things that are happening in your life.
Then you will also find happiness all around you.

When you take my heart
please hold it gently,
When you take my heart
treat it like your own.
When you take my heart
please keep it with you,
For my heart doesn’t
like to roam.
Whisper when you
speak about me,
Don’t let my heart hear
things it shouldn’t hear.
My heart was always
treated gently,
So treat my heart
with tender loving care.
Other people tried
to win my heart dear,
They tried to tell my heart
they loved me too.
But you know my heart wouldn’t listen,
For my heart wanted only you.
So when you take my heart “Please hold it gently”
When you take my heart
treat it like your own.
When you take my heart
please keep it with you,
For my heart couldn’t find a better home.
So when you take my heart please…..…hold it gently.

WE COME INTO THIS WORLD ALONE,
WE COME WITHOUT A CLUE.
NO INSTRUCTIONS FOR US TO FOLLOW
JUST A WILL TO MAKE IT THROUGH.
FOR SOME THE ROAD IS AS SMOOTH AS GLASS,
FOR OTHERS IT’S ALL UP HILL.
BUT NO MATTER HOW YOU MAY FIND THE ROAD
YOU STILL NEED A STRONG, STRONG WILL.
YOU CAN COMPLAIN YOU CAN COMPARE
YOU STILL HAVE TO MAKE IT THROUGH
THE WAY YOU HANDLE THE ROAD OF LIFE
IS STILL ALL UP TO YOU.
THERE IS NO EASY WAY YOU’LL FIND
TO GET TO THE OTHER END.
SOME WILL BE GLAD WHEN THE JOURNEY IS OVER,
WHILE OTHERS WANT TO START AGAIN.
SO GIVE THIS LIFE YOUR VERY BEST
IT’S THE ONLY ONE YOU GET.
ENJOY THIS DAY, ENJOY YOUR LIFE,
IT ISN’T OVER YET.

I remember our first encounter
I didn't like you much,
But you made me feel so special
I soon longed for your touch.
I'd press my lips against you.
You could take my breath away.
And faster than I could imagine
I knew you were here to stay.
You were with me in the morning
and stayed with me all night,
The two of us were inseparable
you were never far from sight.
I just couldn't live without you
I had to have you day and night,
Your hold on me was much too strong
and I knew it wasn't right.
But I could never give you up
though time and time I tried,
I'd find myself drawn back to you
by a burning deep inside.
I should have stayed away from you
should have listened to my friends,
When they said that you would be ...
the death of me.
But no matter what they told me
their words fell on deaf ears,
I knew I couldn't give you up
not after all these years.
And yes you'll be the death of me
I'll soon take my last breath,
I'm dying with my lungs full of cancer
because of you .........
My cigarette.

You don’t remember what I told you.
The last time I laid eyes on you.
You don’t remember ........
I told you that I love you,
You only remember the blues.
Chorus:
You only remember the bad times.
You never remember the good.
You never remember the fun things we do.
You only remember the blues.
If you just tried to remember.
Some of the things we used to do.
I know in my heart you’d be happy.
Burt you only remember the blues.
Now I know this thing we have is over.
And I’m not blaming only you.
But I know it could have been much better.
But you only remember the blues.
Chorus:
You only remember the bad times.
You never remember the good.
You never remember …......
Just how much I love you......................
You only remember the blues...........

Well we made it through the winter,
It sure was a dragged out thing.
But now there’s a new excitement,
The birds are starting to sing.
People’s smiles are getting wider,
Where before there wasn’t a grin.
They’re starting to act the way they did
Before winter did them in.
Yes now the sun is shinning again.
There’s happiness in the air.
Gone is the heavy wardrobe,
And fashion is everywhere.
The difference is all around us,
On each and every street,
Neighbours, friends, and children,
All smiling when they meet.
It’s such a wonderful feeling,
To hear a songbird sing.
And just like us he’s happy,
Happy that it’s spring.
