"I shall be telling this with a sigh." Robert Frost
When I see my mother cry
sometimes I wish I knew why
My mother cries sometime at night
Sometimes she cry just from fright
My mother cries sometimes when ill
The Lord knows her strenght is her will
She might be weak from time to time
She calls on the Lord for peace of mind
My mother cries when she feels pain
The Lord is her staff, strength she gains
Sometimes she cries like a weeping child
Then there are when her cries are very mild
I her my mother pray at night
Sometimes she pray with all her might
She thank the Lord for each new day
and pray for her troubles along the way
No matter the reasons why she cries
The Lord is with her
He is always by her side

When you look in the mirror
Who do you see.....
Do you see you or someone
You would like to be
You question yourself
wondering if it's really you
The answer is YES....
The mirror reflects the TRUTH
Looking in the mirror you stare
into your own eyes....
The eyes are the window to the soul
Your eyes never LIE
Again, you question yourself
wondering if it's really you....
And this time, your eyes reveal the TRUTH
The mirror is reflecting your
INNER SOUL....
Looking back at

GOD is the MASTER
of our Faith
JESUS is the CAPTAIN
of our Soul
When we are sailing
on the Ship of Life
the storms don’t last very long
Our Ship of Life is beaten and worn, but,
with GOD as our MASTER
and JESUS as our CAPTAIN
our Ship of Life keeps sailing on
The storms of life will forever rage on
with GOD watching from above
and JESUS onboard
our Ship of Life
keeps sailing through troubled storms
When our Ship of Life reaches
that distant shore
all of our troubles will be left onboard
because our Ship of Life
will be anchored in GOD'S Mercy
and blessed with JESUS' Love

For John's Nature's Bounty Contest
I had a talk with GOD today
I asked HIM to help those who
are lost and can't find their way
I asked HIM to give strength to
those who are weak
and continue to bless those who are
strong for HIS convenant they keep
I will always pray for others
They are all my spiritual sisters
and brothers
In the name of The Father, The Son
and The Holy Spirit
Let not my words of prayer
fall on deaf ears

Only you can make me do what is right
Only you can show me the right way to go
Only you can make me who I am
I love you, LORD, I love you
Only you can take away my fears
Only you can give me strength and dry my tears
Only you will keep me throughtout my years
I love you, LORD, I love you
Only you can cleanse my sinful soul

Only you show me that you care

It's coming from my soul LORD
Thank you for all you do

I wrote this because I am my worst critic. I'm learning how not to critize what I write.
You are a Poet, indeed you are
The words you write
Resonates deep within so many hearts
The way you pen your words
Is masterfully crafted
Poetry in motion
Full of joy and laughter
Whether you write complete stanzas
Or only a few lines
You take your reader on the same journey
You created in your mind
You have talent and you are skilled
You are the poet
The world needs to hear

"One of the best plans for life is not a plan to succeed, but a plan to strengthen one's weaknesses to prevent failure."
Rosalyn M. Lampkin
The reason why I think this line is unique:
People have a tendency to set high goals for themselves without realizing the potential negative consequences if they don't acheive the goal they set. If they focus on the weak areas, the plan to succeed will be achieved.
Contest "My Unique Line" by Poet Destroyer~ A
I, The Love of Your Life,
am quietly standing by, waiting and watching
for you to appear in my sight
As the sun rise, as the sun set
I, The Love of Your Life,
have nothing to hide, nothing to regret
When the moon comes out
in the still of the night
I, The Love of Your Life, am
waiting and watching with much delight
The door to my heart is opened wide
where your love always reside
In my heart, the place you know, oh, so well
When you are tired and weary
I, The Love of Your Life, will be
waiting and watching for you
to surrender
Anytime, morning, noon, or night
I will be waiting and watching
until you are near to hold me tight
knowing everything will be alright
To you, Ken, from The Love of Your Life,
you can always come home
to a place where love is plentiful
and love is strong

The softness of your lips
like the sweet taste of strawberries
The first kiss you gave me years ago
still makes me shake and quiver
Whenever I eat strawberries
your kiss is what I remember

I've been beat up
I've been knocked down
No matter what happens
I'm still standing on
solid ground
I've been passed over
I've been stepped on
No matter what happens
I still have faith
I continue to stand tall
and strong
I've been lifted up
only to let down
No matter what happens
I don't stand alone
Jesus is standing with me
I see His footprints next to mine
He is the reason why
I'm still standing
strong and proud
Rosalyn
This is a life that is only yours
Only you can open many doors
Doors that take you far beyond
Doors to open for strength to be strong
These are the years that you have grown
Through these years the good,
The bad you have known
Now it's time to sit and think
Take your time, no need to look for the days of yesterday,
those days have long past and gone
Think ahead as far as you can
Think about your life and wait on GOD’S plan
If you are happy in within your soul
Your heart should never, ever grow cold
GOD has kept you all these years
There is no reason for you to have any fears
If you fear within your soul
Ask GOD to keep you as you grow old
These are the doors that you have passed through
If' you've talked with GOD, you know what to do
GOD has lead you along your way
It's up to you to see HIM on judgment day

Lovingly, I ask
If you will give me your hand
Let us unite, One
My wife and I your husband
For all eternity, Life

There is a Book of Secrets each person writes
the book is about all the things they do from
the time they are born to the day they die
Some write a about discerning lifestyles,
which indicates a Blanket of Darkness,
masquerading the true nature of what they
might feel inside
Some write about the Shades of Fall
while sitting in their favorite chair
looking at the October Rain drops
cleaning smog from the air
Some write lyrics for a love song
while looking up at the starlit night
They find themselves humming the tune,
creating the title for the song - Romancing The Moon
Some write about The Jewels of the Faeries
creating a magical tale, to be read to children
when it's time for them to go to bed
Then, there are those who write about
A Gate of Dreams, taking the reader to a
Gentle Place, Where the Angels Fly-
From Where They fall
In Violet Light to mend their broken wings
Every writer has a story that needs to be told
The greatest reward the writer receives is to know
their story touched the reader's heart and soul

Always on a Sunday
since the day we met
It's been twenty long years
a love we can't forget
Always on a Sunday
your presence ever near
We still feel each other's love
after twenty long years
Always on a Sunday
many years ago
We sitll feel the warmth
after twenty long years
Always on a Sunday
we lay awake at night
Holding each other
after twenty long years
