Best Tower Of Strength Poems
Perpetual Love
True love is an eternal flame that glows,
igniting special hearts forevermore;
despite all odds, this fiery passion grows.
A bright beacon shining through darkest night,
’twas gift-wrapped by angels weaving moonlight.
Surpassing the test of time ‘twill endure;
a tower of strength when adversity sows.
Infused with stardust's blaze from inner space,
and forged in sacred fire by divine design,
we’re spellbound in love’s warm honeyed embrace.
Though bodies die, love always will survive…
pure mystical life force infinitely alive.
A rare flower, when love blooms it’s a sign
of God’s heav'nly-blessed, perpetual grace.

There for me in my hour of need
surprising me with a small gift
How blessed am I …
your friendship is one I cherish
Always having time to listen
when we share a pot of tea
Now I bring shopping for you
to show my appreciation
Kindness and thoughtfulness
are so evident when we talk
So finally I can pay tribute
to my wonderful friend Chris

A tribute to my wonderful friend Chris Faragher who has been a tower of strength for me especially when my husband had his cancer surgery and I had no support from my parents and sister. Her friendship and support mean the world to me

By chance we met
We became friends at first
And best friends later
We shared everything with each other
The good, the bad, happy and sad..
It was all beautiful until that day..
The day he came into your life
Was the worst day of my life
You shared your good times with him
You gave him your valuable kisses
You gave him your all, and then some
I waited in vain for your messages
All I wanted was to hear your voice
To fill up this void you left in me
My life was never the same
Then there was trouble in your paradise..
He hurt you over and over again
But you loved him too much
You couldnt let go
He made you shed your precious tears
He took all your love
And never gave it back
Then you remembered me..
The one that was always there
The one that always cared
Always in his shadow, watching you
Crying invisible tears each time he hurt you
You came to me with your pain..
I became your tower of strength
I wiped your tears when you cried
I made you strong so that you could stand on your own
I put the sun back in your sky
I gave you wings to make you fly
And then you flew..
Away from me again
You reopened the void
You took away my sun
You left me in the cold again
You have forgotten me..
But I will never forget you
I always loved you
And I always will
Goodbye old friend...
dealing with too much worry
never any good news
I'm thinking of running away
running back to you
I need someone to hold me
a different point of view
I'm thinking of running away
running back to you
I need a tower of strength
from these times that leave me blue
I'm thinking of running away
running back to you
I need your love and passion
a heart to fall into
I'm thinking of running away
running back to you
I want to feel your shelter
a smile the sun shines through
I'll be there tomorrow
I'm running back to you
Let it out, screaming inside my head
Holding back the flood gates
Locked in underground cell to supress
The tears that dwell deep within
A place where colours don’t exist
Starkness, isolation and sadness
Why visit such a space of gloom
When I can build storeys above
A tower of strength, sturdy and high
Stability and proud to the general eye
Exploring each level one at a time
Only very few find the truth inside
Strength based on fragile foundations
The child within reaching to be free
Powerless, ashamed and lost innocence
An adult who fears unlocking all the hurt
Denial is such an easy path to take
Beware the silent sadness that blooms
As the hurt from deep within emerges
Penetrating through the cracks
I want to unlock that cellar deep below
Look her in the eye embrace all she hides
Take her hand and set her free
Allow myself to finally become me
A vessel of love
A tower of strength
Guiding me to shore
A vessel of love
My guardian Angel that
Always guides me home
It’s not the word “Mother”
that means anything to me,
it’s the emotion and love inside the word,
hidden, for all to see, it’s the
Mold I measure myself by, the
Optimism I learned, the
Tower of strength I lean on, the
Hearth and home that nurtured, the
Encouragement to fly, and the
Rock that has held our family together through the years.
It’s the woman I call Mother
and her gentle, loving eyes,
that “squinty” look, the love and pride
that sees right through the lies.
Her poise, her laughter,
her intimidation, and her grace,
her smile of encouragement and
the patience on her face.
She’s all the thing I hope to be,
a vibrant, bright bouquet,
as breath taking and beautiful,
as the first daffodil in May.

My dearest, sweet Daddy
I wish Australia wasn't so far away!
I can't just "pop over" to say hello
England is on the other side of the world
For one thing there's the cost
If the subject of money wasn't an issue
I'd be winging my way to you now!
When you told me you had Alzheimer's
I died a little that day
And what scares me so much, Daddy
Is when you won't know who I am
There are so many precious memories
That I hold in my treasure chest
Like the time you placed me
And my brother Scott
In a wired waste bin in Camperdown Park!
The reason for this strange action?
To make an unusual photograph
It certainly was funny
We peered at you through diamond shaped slats
Set against a brilliant smooth blanket of snow
I remember clinging on to your strong back
As I faced my fear of the swimming pool
You were my tower of strength, my refuge
As the water began to encompass me
And when the terror of the gasmask
Consumed me at the Dentist's Office
You went in first, to assuage my panic
There was no need for your check up
Then years later, when my appendix was removed
And the phobia gripped my very soul
You came to the anaesthetic room
Calming and soothing me as I drifted off
The clever things you made with your hands
The doll's house, ambulance and gurney
And the bust of Winston Churchill and car
Both fashioned completely out of sand!
Not forgetting the giant Queen of Hearts A-Board
And the washing machine hat
With "Brain washing" written on the top!
I cherished your words of wisdom
And you wiped away my tears
When I grieved for my husband
Also in the throws of Alzheimer's
Can you wipe away my tears now, Daddy
As I pen these words to you?
I need another of your cozy cuddles
And some more words of wisdom
I love you ever so much
And I need to save up all my pennies
To wing my way back to you
Before you forget who I am...
Your loving daughter, Diane
On an early spring day, washed brilliant with clover
In the land of the sun, and sweet cherry blossom
A tremble, a rumble, that rattled the earth
Cracking open the spring day, like the devil's own plaything
Plates of dispute, on the edge of destruction
Beneath the sea’s surface…anger's wrath lies in waiting…
It came with no warning, …a mighty surge of horror
A tower of strength, to this tiny island flower
The harsh call of nature, came boldly from the shore
Relentless, the shaking, battering to the core
And altered the earth with a shattering shrill
Spilling despair, in a pillage of flurry
Killing the helpless, yet… leaving the courage
O’ land, of gentle people, wearing dignity’s expression
Those from afar, watched on with compassion
We gasped, then we cried, yet are awed with impressions
How hands helping hands, and courage ensued
Kind hearts, claimed the bruised, and calmed the confused
You banded together…helping each another,
Balance of elders, will hold you forever..
Grace under fire…. with honor we brand you
You raise up the spirit with hands of the valiant
Respect you have earned and honor you wear
The sun keeps on rising…..and will shine ever more
Whatever your situation, that may be
a definite solution being
a seed of happiness, Christianity.
A darkness maybe upon and clouding your life
millions of testimonies
proof to ease all strife.
Be blessed or simply ask Jesus
to take the reins and control
the seed of darkness,watered by God
sit back and let it roll.
From darkness roots pushing stem of light
giving off a ray of confidence hope
and broadening your insight.
For then your walk,will take a step up high
then without you realising
blossoming towards the sky.
As a maturing plantation
roots spraying foundation of the earth
Width height and more bold
giving off a sense of worth.
Then without you realising,you will be at a stage
a width height and tower of strength
to weather many stronger storms of rage.

Sanguinea, Queen Of The Incas
In the lush jungles of constant condensation,
A royal order of an ancient kingdom,
That had ruled from an unknown beginning,
A caste system, whereby, a legacy of femininity,
Ruled over a vast domain, she'd be the Queen,
Known by one name since the start of their governance,
Sanguinea, Queen of all the Inca lands.
Regal and statuesque, donning a regalian dress,
That flowed down the length of her,
Of velvety rubies that drapes in reds.
In her royal court, she is surrounded,
By faces of envious greens that cowers,
Neath the richness of her extensive rule.
She is guarded by an army,
Bearing a powerful tawny armor,
They are a tower of strength that lifts their Queen,
So she can be seen by her doting subjects below.
Sanguinea, Queen of the Incas,
She would lure and entertain her unwary guest,
Her body full of emanating scents beguiles them to ecstasy,
And if she senses danger, she eludes a toxin,
That renders, the once seduced guest,
To be another victim of her passion.
The majestic Queen Sanguinea,
Overlooks her realms expanse,
From her hilltop palaces,
And its courtyard of still filled green faces.
With magnificence and savvy governance of her jungle kingdom,
She bears a formidable presence as she trumpets it, away,
And her magnanimity is without question,
For it is well known throughout and beyond, her wet domain,
For she is, after all, her royal majesty,
Sanguinea, Queen of the Incas.
*Sanguinea, of the aforementioned version--as there are several varieties, is a rather large trumpet red flower that is poisonous. It hangs downward from trees in a Peruvian jungle of South America (as pictured).

A STRAND (1074)
~~Brian Strand: Judged 2022 February 15
The Lord is my fortress my tower of Strength
He strengthens my hand for battle
Granting me strength to overcome the enemy
The lord is my refuge he hides my soul
From the sharp arrows of mine pursuers
The Lord is my Rock My strength against foe
When besieged he crushes my enemy
Like a lion on the prowl i face my adversary
For the great Lion resides in Me and I in Him
I shall know no fear
I shall show no pain
I shall yield no ground
For the victory is mine
Even though i waketh the valley of the shadows
I shall fear no evil for you are with me
My sword my staff
My rock my refuge
My fortress my salvation
And I will delight in His presence
All the days of eternity.. As for me
He is Ebeneezer My victory banner

SELAH
To the director of music
My imagination
My creation
A wonder of greatness
Thoughts of highness
It is a world where I only travel alone
In it I have the power to attain all
No bugs buzzing or bags bagging
Tag all my weaknesses,
And build a tower of strength
To see over the horizons,
I sight with my mind
Imagination serves to save the world
And propels to be limitless.
The Tiger and the Bear.
Tooth and claw, tearing
flesh as death draws near.
Primitive killer instincts and
lack of fear
Sheer brute strength with a
blood thirst to quench.
The Bear, a tower of strength
with a razor sharp Bear hug to
dissuade.
The Tiger, a ferocious attack upon
your back. Blends in like the wind
itself, moves with stripes of deadly
stealth.
The Tiger and the Bear.
Tooth and claw, tearing
flesh as death draws near
To me you are a tower of strength
to whom I give my love
a goddess an angel
sent down from above
destined to be cherished
fated to be loved
Sometimes I sit so quietly
with hardly much to say
but always my thoughts of you
are never that far away.
Sometimes I look back
to that first day
you breezed across my way
you looked so beautiful
my eyes could not look away.
You stopped my heart that day
at first I was excited
soon i became delighted
for all I ever wanted
had just graced my way
so our hearts collided
then at once i decided
with you I'd like to stay
We have our ups
we have our downs
many good times filled with fun
always to me you are number one
our life together will be happy
our time has finally come.
We are building the foundations
that will be our loving home
no longer will we travel
no longer will we roam
for when our day of toil is over
home to us we come.
Our hopes our dreams are not,
so far away it seems,
although over the next few years
we both may shed some tears
as we build upon our future
for our family.
We can not reflect upon our future
for it's somewhere we have not been
so we must strive to keep our dreams
pushing us full steam.
