Best Turning Point Poems

The man stumbled on, wanting to get as far away as possible
the sights he had seen and lived through too terrible to contemplate.
How could another human deliberately inflict such awful things on another.
He could see a gentle stream of smoke arising from the distant chimney
and...

Will tomorrow be smiles and lovely
Will your smile ever be real to me again
I don't know how to change what is 
Time has creeped upon you and I
Grey is our hair and loose is our skin

Those things don't matter
Just the way you speak unkindly
Hurts me...

I stand upon a ledge, a precipice in time
A place where things will change forever
The things I do from here I can't rewind
This string of time I will not sever

A place where things will change forever
As I step into the vast unknown
This string of time...

Moments and things to give purpose
And a...

When I'm with her "now"
I tend to pause and admire.
Stepping back to watch
Elegance, beauty & cleansing by fire.
Watching her from across the room
Silences my dance of turbulence,
I tip my hat and take a bow.
My purpose took a right turn
From that self imposed dungeon.
Thanks my Lord...

(For Adult Contest) 

Turning point: a child is born
tears of pain, tears of joy
mother's milk, flood of love
sit 'n' stand, laugh 'n' talk

on the fly get to know
what is right, what is wrong

Not many but the closest ones.
Sometimes I find myself miserable, because I am the only one thinking like that.

After my intelligence,...

in ones life time
dreams and reality 
or just a passing
until you grab a hold 
of life

some of the beautiful things
happen when a person
has took all he can take

suddenly that fear
of failure 
becomes a 
flying success 
ride out your heart 
until 

all hate is gone 
until...

I regret what I did
For I am your kid
You’ve raised me better
So I shall write you this letter

I write you letter from the heart
Yet I don’t know where to start.
The holiday time is here
But it doesn’t seem like it has brought you good cheer.
I hate...
