Best Take A Step Back Poems

Over recent months I’ve had trouble with my hearing…
Misinterpreting what is being said isn’t so endearing


Take a step back and think of all the things you would miss if you couldn’t hear at all

The list is endless but here are a few I came up...

Ain't it wild the things that have passed?
The things we thought would change,
the things we thought weren't gonna last?

(remember picnics on the park grass?
that was awesome)

Movies with friends, weddings on the sand,
rock and roll concerts on demand

(we are all furious to high heaven, surely,
but we...

Cans to kick, Sticks to whittle
Blow that jug, or saw that fiddle
Roll up your jeans,Go grab your pole
Wade right in, to the old fishin' hole
If you aint takin', what nature is givin'
Then you may not relate, to our country livin'

Your old pick up truck, a...

I used to think poetry was about expression
(but some it seems would rather make it a competition)
I used to think beautiful words were meant to encourage growth,
not be used as a pedestal for your ego.

But hey      What do I know?

You're...

Please,
  Feel free ...
    Kick me down the street
      Like a dented can - label ripped, rusted edges

What else can you do with a damaged container of aluminum, right?
  Used, empty, bent and busted ...

Let's take a step back in time,
step into the golden temple of God
that Solomon built
There shining on a hill
stood the beautiful sanctuary of God,
casting forth resplendent rays of golden light
Let's walk through the outer court

leading into the corridor

Animals animals all we are
Have come from the jungle that's oh so far!
Happily happily we came dancing here
With many lessons that you all have to hear.

I am the ferocious lion king
The song of Valour is what I sing
Never take a step back in times of...

She said "Why do you keep running, slow down a little;
Why don’t you open your eyes and see beyond the horizon;
Don’t you see it…?? Coz I see it;
I see it very well without having to squint my eyes or stretch them thus far”
I see it.

(Verse 1)
There’s an aching in my back
An my knees are buckling in
My body’s hurt n bruised
friends r’ say ‘n take a step back ‘n relax

faster and faster I here myself say
I cant give up when I’m half way...

Where were you when time stood still?
When the world was no longer there?
Nothing was left, only ill will.
Little left to matter, no one to care.

Is this where it will come to an end?
If we have reached the point of no return.
People are only enemies, no...

Once the smoke clears I'll overcome the burns
The grass isn't always greener, the sky is sometimes grey and dark instead of blue
Sometimes you need to take a step back to really see what's ahead of you
I feel like Mike Tyson on fight night because I'm...

I won't stop writing until I make the pen bleed
Until my heart falls on the paper and you feel the beat
When my tears can be felt in physical form I promise to leave
I won't stop writing until I make the pen bleed

I write from a...

What if I could talk to you,
if you were more than a memory?
What if I could lead your path,
instead of the fate that led mine?

Would you know me as truth,
or think me a wild dream?
Would you see yourself in me at all,
or not recognize the...

There's a saying we all know
Sharing is caring-- you will show
How much love is deep inside
If everyone had only tried
To follow this one simple rule
We would not be sinking in a pool
Of hatred and brutality
Open up your eyes and see
We need to take a step...
