Best Stand Poems

I stand here with every step of my life etched in crisscross lines beneath these
well worn feet. 

Well worn feet that have carried me for seven decades and three years more
through pain and pleasure, joy and sorrow, on a path of  adversity that couldn't...

Stand by me when your dreams might fail,
And the burning light of your plans grows pale.
Stand by me when the world is cruel,
When they shake their heads, calling you a fool.
Come stand close, rest your head on my shoulder;
My feelings haven't changed, I simply grow...

In the middle of the universe, I stand 
My mind seeking comprehension 
The mysteries of life tantalize my tenacious grip on wisdom
I stand
Observing omnipotent organization
The universe expands as I stand in wonder
What does it all mean?
Infinite answers press against my finite mind
Clamoring for recognition
I stand:...

An ancient twilight tree now stands alone
with weakened cries of olden creak and groan;
winter’s rattling winds do rise and shake it - 

in stark silhouette shriveled and reaching
wizened limbs thirst for Mercy beseeching;
prides the deep roots he laid down that did knit -

Nature bemoans as...

As we worship, bring the silence
in gracious peace ring down the day.
Stay the light that's stained with violence,
deliver calm, pass ill storms away.

Send to us your guileless servant,
pure of faith and stainless heart.
Confer to him a truce so verdant  
with joyous love and hope...

People treat me like dirt with
Judged envy, but I stand with
Confidence.
People called my beauty 
Ugly of jealously, but I still
Stand with Confidence.
People whisper of my features,
But I still stand with confidence.
A parent tells the truth of my physicals.
She made I stand up....

Whether I'm right, whether I'm wrong,
You stand by me, so easy to find,
like the repeating words of a song,
always right here on my mind.

Daylight shines and again, I see your face,
night comes near and still you stand by,
forever, with arms awaiting an embrace,
even if stones...

In the middle of my own small world I stand,
Both feet planted firmly on the land.
Gold is the sun in the sky.
Oh, that I could fly!
Then you see -
I
Would be free!
Earth-bound, though, I sigh.
I'll remain so till I die.
Knowing that out there is something grand,
In...

Whispers float, gently across a sunless sky

a little note, opens wide these sullen eyes

a faint heart beats strong again

thinking of not then, but when

when we'll be together, as one

watching forever, the rising sun

skipping rocks and holding hands

kicking off shoes, building castles in the sand

building a...

I stand here at the center of the world
embraced by a sweet joy that makes me feel
so good! I'm melting ice cream that's been swirled
with luscious butterscotch. I want to reel
from giddiness. I cannot merely stand.
I need to move. I want to leap and dance.
There...

Save Me, That I May Rise Again To Stand

Where it that good-morrow brought thee again
save my broken soul from love-lust in sin!
Heal my heart, stop my nights of great sorrows
offer thy hand, promise of tomorrows.

Thinking back to love-nights we never slept
agony, I fell and viciously...

I take in myself each day, 
Marks I wish to go or stay, 
For a meter away, 
Is a distance half made. 
I cannot see the beauty,
The map, of my own face. 
I hide behind distance, 
Angles, perspective, light:
As if I have something 
I wish...

It seems that politics today invades nearly every aspect of life,
And creates forlorn misery, pitiful stress and needless strife.
We can't enjoy sporting events 'cause its even permeated the sports domain,
All across this great nation from California to the rocky shores of Maine!
Over-paid athletes kneel when...

I stand tall like a bamboo tree,
Strong winds make my body to sway,
Storm makes me blown away,
But I still stand like a bamboo tree.

Trials and problems that I face everyday,
I have the strength to pursue it anyway,
The dreams that I have in mind,
Though it’s simple...
