Best Sonheart Poems
Dear Light of mine, Joy of my
heart.
Always be happy my sunshine,
Dance like the bright twinkling
stars above.
Jump up and down with
laughter and always reach for
the bright blue sky.
There are no limits in life my
child.
Keep your heart in the right
place, Shun your face from evil.
Do not hang on to anything or
anyone who makes you cry.
Remember that my loving
embrace will always keep you
warm. My heart is your home
forever.
Smile my son, mom loves you
always.
Dedicated to my 6yr old son

Little warrior, take heart and know this
That before you came into my ranks
My kingdom had stood untouched
Safely guarded in that mountain fortress
Where's kept the heart and dreams of its king
Where flew the battle flag of solitude overhead
With the warning printed so boldly thereon
"Don't tread on me!"
My kingdom slumbered in a wintered sleep
That rendered my reign bereft of flavor
Then you, still baptized in bloody victory
Let loose your piercing battle cry
That shook the very foundation of my kingdom
Crumbling down the fortress walls!
Little warrior, my first knight, despair not
For you've become the salt of my kingdom
And the favored champion of this king's heart
And by very reason of your appointment
Have stayed the axeman his fatal cut
To my own mortality, for yet another term.
Look now my little prince
To that once cold mountain fortress
That had imprisoned in cold stone a hollow dream
Gloriously basking now in the warmth of defeat
Look there, high above the cherry blossoms
Where now the nightingale and cardinal sing
A new flag, warmly streaming on a spring breeze
Proudly raised in the fullness of my heart
This battle weary king's final treasure
At last, at long, long, last...
Flies my precious white flag!
Timothy I. Brumley
* A poem for my son that conveys the emotions I felt while witnessing the miracle of his birth
Written in free verse form as a reminder that freedom is never won free of cost, but
instead requires upon her sacred alter, the greatest of all sacrifices.
There's a rock in my chest
where my heart used to be,
I've learned to shut down
automatically.
So listen up
and be aware,
that I no longer
really care.
Your passion on stage
has the audience stirred,
and I was the one
who made sure you were heard.
That radio station
who launched your fame,
was my doing,
yet you can't say my name.
You're gonna' be a star,
you're gonna' be adored,
you deserve it,
I'm a minor chord.
There's a rock in my chest,
where my heart used to be,
and my life has always been
a little off-key.
My hero in residence,
doesn't know all I've done.
And I loved him, I Loved him,
just like my own son.

So Much Pain Within
(Daveda’s Cascade)
Again you’ve caused my heart to weep
The pain within is oh so deep
Don’t know how more I can bear
Right now all I can do is stare
Things continue to disappear
Lies after lies enters my ear
I look at you and want to leap
The pain within is oh so deep
Their addictions are draining me
No relief I’m able to see
I need a word from you to spare
Don’t know how much more I can bear
Father above please hear my plea
Oh please set my family free
I know deep within you do care
Right now all I can do is stare
* From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to
the rock that is higher than I.
Psalm 61:2
This poem was written for my nine year old son, Adrian.
His first crush with an older girl.
From the heart of a nine year old, to Gina
My heart might be small, but it bleeds true
You are the light that shines upon a blue day
The heat I feel glistening my skin
Stars in my eyes when night has fallen
You are what I forever hold dear
My nine year old heart, to Gina

My mothers eyes connect me to God above.
My soul knows his hand with her love.
In my heart she see's all I know.
In unspoken knowledge her kindness flows.
An angels vision is beyond eye sight.
In the darkest hour you'll see their light.
As days pass by, I see her fading.
Somedays I know, that she's just waiting.
My life and hers will never end.
She has always been my truest friend.
Theres no age limit to this kind of thing.
It's pure harmony when mother and child sing.
Her visions obstructed from disease.
But in my heart she always sees.
The joy and pain that bonds forever.
No force on earth can ever sever.
My lovely boys
you have given me so many joys
your little smile
the light in your eyes
inside my heart just sighs
A little hand that grips so strong
i hum to you a little song
in my arms i swat to and fro
how much i love you so
i'll promise you, you'll always know
Each fall,each stumble
my heart dose rumble
Little hands ,little feet
my love you are so precious and sweet
the look of wonder upon your face
the world for you is such a big place
Hush little one don't shed a tear
my promise to you is that i will always be near
as you sleep i watch over you
who will you be ,what will you do
As your mother i will always be there
no matter what i will always care
Things won't be easy, most will be tough
sometimes you'll say you've had enough
Many steps on your path will show you your way
but your choices will always have the final say
Be kind and gentle
maybe even a little sentimental
don't let yourself doubt
There will be a day when the boys will becomes a man
you may be strong ,as well as tall
but i will see is my little man...
they handed you to me
my heart filled with joy
my beautiful little boy
then they spoke
and my heart shattered
He's not gonna make it
I held you close
not my little angel
I kissed your face
please stay with me little one
the hours passed
and I prayed that you wouldn't be taken
luck wasn't with me that day
you, my little angel, were taken
your life was cut short
my heart ached
why did this happen
I miss you little one
