Best Show You How It Should Be Done Poems

Afternoon musing, not quite content,
Wondering where the time all went -
The time not really given, only lent.

The first day of fourth grade,
In the next desk a new girl stayed,
With honey colored hair all in a braid.

It would not be easy to concentrate.
How could a teacher...

Ever thoughtful and kind, you rejuvenate my days
Making me laugh and smile with your ever shining rays
In truth, you are amazing, so cheerful and so bright
Like a mind-boggling revelation, I can see a new light
I often find myself wondering why we never spoke before
Economics was...

‘MY BROKEN HEART’
Poem to Richard Madeley and Judy Finnegan

Here is my heart, broken in two.
Because I lost my chance to appear with you. 
The greatest chance of my life, I’ve ever had,
To talk about my writing although it’s sad,
To meet denise again, the signed photo...

Walking in the moonlight 
With a beautiful girl 
We arrive outside the ballroom 
and I give her a twirl . 
A little bit of Salsa ,
A waltz and then a jive
Then a little disco dancing 
When we hear the band play , Staying alive.

You're the...

He sat all alone, drinking jim beam and coke

Looking out as the waves crashed ashore

He kept to himself, drinking jim beam and coke

As the storm winds would batter the door

He'd only come in when the weather was rough

Sitting alone, drinking Jim Beam and coke

Looking out...

I loved you
You were quiet and surly
But your soul was dying in the darkness
And I never knew
You never said a word
And I was accustomed to your silence
So how could I have known you wouldn't say goodbye
Did you think if you were out of sight that...

I know that the Lord, has good things set for me
I just have to stand in this line
I wish I had'em now, but in time I'm sure I'll see
That everything for me, will be just fine

But I dare not close one eye 
No, I dare...

They’re fencin’ off the free range,
Sayin’ that’s the way things will be;
I reckon it rubs us strange;
You just keep ridin’ to be free.

They tell us “do this or that,”
They show us how it should be done;
But I’d just soon eat my hat
And ride off in...

Make the road of life,?
Things can change when u drive,?
Mood, attitude, paths,
And the choices we make.

The road can bring the strom within it self,?
Happy the next day,?
Like nothing has been so different & odd.

Looking straight at the path that i gotta choice?
The right things in...

We remember you,
The one and only,
Intiminadator of the track,
The man of our hearts,
We wish you were still here in body,
With us everyday, Dale the #3,
To show us how things should be done,
On the track.
Your career was unlike any other,
It was very inspirational,
And entertaining to watch...

Moon Over the Vines

Like a yellow balloon hanging out with the clouds
Moon over the vines at first cockcrow you’d dulled 
Shadowy ribbon-like clouds chased your moonbeams away
As the dawn was breaking it beckoned a great day.

Oh! waning crescent moon are you leaving right now? 
I...

The bayou sky flies a catfish moon over swamp gators 
And cottonmouth vipers. Accordions, fiddles, and rub board vests 
Make their ramble through the undergrowth hot on the trail
Of a sultry midsummer house party in Sweat Neck, Louisiana.
All the usual suspects are there. Sharkskin Slim...

I am frozen and so cold
From what I have just been told
My hearts fastly palpitating
Tell me your exaggerating
With everything I just heard
Nothing could be any worse
My dear friend I can not picture
You are like a little sister
That I care for with my heart
When did all...

how well do you acknowledge your blessings from the Lord Christ?
how well do you show appreciation for what He has done in your life?
you can't deny that God has always somehow pulled you through
so what have you done to reciprocate that which He has done...
