Best Up To You Poems
We have the left; we have the right.
In the political arena they both fight.
Always claiming to be on our side,
With ferocious rhetoric, opponents they deride.
Vote for us, to be saved from a vicious clan’s
Reckless and dangerous life ending plan.
So now it’s up to you and I
To decide, who is right and who tells lies.
Now I don’t know what works for you.
I judge not what they say; rather what they do.
For talk is cheap and taxes ain’t.
I’m in support of fiscal restraint.
Now this is a fact for all posterity;
A nation can’t spend itself into prosperity.
Both sides know that this is true.
But look at what the charlatans do.
They simply make a language adjustment;
Government spending renamed as investment.
So now it’s up to you and I
To decide, who is right and who tells lies.
The finger of accusation is pointed;
As our nation becomes disjointed.
Now both sides in self-righteousness claim;
The other side is the one to blame.
I’m not sure how you deduce,
But I look at the fruit they produce.
Who supports phony investigations;
The sole evidence of their own making.
Who supports keeping people in places;
Dividing them up into different races.
Who believes they can legislate prosperity;
Ignoring all of human history.
Who believes it a proper choice;
To slay the unborn who have no voice.
So now it’s up to you and I
To decide, who is right and who tells lies.
Media acts in a partisan manner,
Thus, I ignore their constant clamor.
People throwing bombs and firing weapons;
The very definition of insurrection.
When people gather to show disgust.
That is what is defined as a protest.
There are few neutral voices.
Everyone is always spinning choices.
So now it’s up to you and I
To decide, who is right and who tells lies.
Feelings of euphoria, if even for just a day
feuilleton or stichomythia, words I can't even say
scoring the winning goal in the championship game
raising you up over their shoulders
basking in your thirty seconds of fame
Tomorrow will they remember your name?
That sunny summer afternoon by the lake
skipping stones watching the ripples float away
seeing her beautiful reflection bobbing in the waves
taking her hand as she took your breath away
how that seemed like just yesterday
Would she even remember your name?
The harvest moon shining brightly through the window
you squeezing my hand so very tight
the nurse wiping your brow
pain in your voice but a smile on your face
when the doctor handed you that little girl
How we decided on that perfect name.
Memories come and memories go
but how you will be remembered
is up to you
You’ who have a Holy Bible sitting on a shelve.
Do you read, study, search? For your spiritual selves?
The most given sold book on this earth,
Has been around long before our earthly births.
Two thousand years ago our Savior Jesus was born.
A time when men and woman prayed with incense a Mohr.
A time of loss hope, captivity, oppression, from the Roman army, life was very bleak.
Three men, a star, a vision, a prophecy, fulfilled in Scriptures it was quite a week.
From the start He was a traveler with his mother Mary and father Joseph to Egypt, fleeing from King Herod.
Telling the Holy men he wanted to honor Him, but in reality Herod wanted His head.
The Father always present showed Jesus’ parents the way to safety.
Time of course took its toll, Herod died, Jesus returned home to fulfill His destiny.
Of course all with Bibles know the rest of the story.
Our Savior lived, taught, proclaimed the coming Kingdom, was crucified, and He fulfilled His loving glory.
Death conquered by Christ is a gift to “Us” loves for carnal man that the Father lovingly gives.
A new way, a loving way, a spiritual way given to we to make us spiritually live.
Simple brethren, be vigil, have love for others, you’ll see.
A new horizon given to us by the Father spiritually.
Take your Bible down of the shelf, off the table, study, you’ll get what you seek, the Holy Spirit.
Simply ask God for His forgiveness and His blessings as you study, live by His every word, listening you’ll hear it.
So it’s up to you, this is for you to decide.
Your very existences count on it, or are you going to go along, and toss the dice and let everything ride?
Simply said my brethren shake off the cobwebs, dust off the Holy Bible, read the “Word” have faith, be vigil, and count on Him.
The Holy Spirit, if God wills, will enter into you and Jesus and the Father will thrive, as they lead you to the eternal Kingdom.
Lord I am in a bind, for I have fallen behind, I"m in trouble and don't know what to do, so Lord Jesus, I look up to you. Lord I grow weak and weary in need of rest, so I turn to you to take away my distress. People say do this, do that, but when I do there's always a catch.
Go here, go there, each time I do I end up no where. So what do you do when you don't know what? You keep running in circles and stay in a rut. Your friends turn their backs on you and that's a kick in the gut.
Bad thoughts running through my head, maybe I'm better off dead, I'm starting to see red. They say pick yourself up and get a grip, I'm trying everything I can not to flip, I pray to you Lord, don't let me slip.
Lord I need guidance, I feel so blue, so again, Lord Jesus I look up to you. I been through so much, but now my eyes have been opened because my heart you have touched and It don't matter what they say, I know I am a beautiful spirit because you made me this way.
Now doors are starting to open, faces are becoming new and I know Lord, I owe It all to You. For You are my Lord, All Knowing, Kind and True. This is why Lord Jesus, I Look Up To You.
You aint all that perfect
You aint there yet
Hoping you could be
But that can never be...
You know i want to love you
You know i want to be involued
But you are lost in the passion
And all you see is distraction
I may not be all that handsome
The guy in that big mansion
But my heart is a worthy ransom..
Look deep and close
Not the shiny,not the clothes
Remember now,but forget not tomorrow
That's where the story continues
With me you can be an epic with depth.
Why be just a few passages with them
when you can be a book with me
My lady chose...chose the right time
What if this is as good as it gets?
If your dreams never took flight,
and your life was a wordless book.
You never got to travel and see
the world through birds' eyes.
And never got to make truth
to all your lies.
You never got to "meet the one"
and fall madly in love.
And never got to get a tattoo,
something symbolic, like a dove.
You never got to dive in the sea,
and count the many fish
And never got to throw a
penny and make a wish.
You never got to help someone
who was in dire need.
And never stood up and
took a lead.
You never realized that sometimes
you don't get choices in life,
but you stuck to what it gave you.
Didn't think you deserved more
didn't know that, you and only
you can make it better.
So stop worrying about what
you missed out on and start
trying for what you want,
because it is what you make it.
Thickness I can't breath
I will surely try to drink
Happiness; you make.
Every little crack I have
Deep inside my soul
I am unashamed of them
Through those I've learned to grow
Every little break I have
Inside my beating heart
Yes they hurt profoundly
They let me know I am alive
Every little doubt I have
That crosses through my mind
Though at times seems impossible
Have helped me see my dreams
Every little mistake I've made
I've used them as stepping stones
To build an even bigger path
That leads to roads unknown
Life it is a balancing act
A tightrope walk of your will
The outcome it is up to you
Will you cross safely or will you take a spill

I’m tired of people saying,
You’re just one person,
You can’t change the world.
I’m tired of them telling you,
You’re too small to do anything.
I’m tired of them telling lies like that,
There not true.
They don’t know you.
They don’t know what you’re worth.
They don’t know what you can do.
The world can only see half of you.
It’s up to you,
To show them the other half.
It’s up too you,
To let them go on.
To show them they’re wrong,
And to live up to who you’re supposed to be.
Because you can be someone great.
I make it my goal in life to help people know that
their important.
There are people in this world who believe that the
world
would go on just fine with out them. Some believe
that they
can't make a difference in this world. I want to
show them,
tell them, that, they can make a difference, that
they are important,
that they can follow their dreams. Think of your
faviorte band,
where did they start out? In the garage, or in their
room, for most
of them. Think of the President, where did he start
out? Highschool, collage,
and look where he is now. So many people that
are in the history books,
started out with nothing. George Washington lead
the Revolutionary Army,
he lost most of his battles, and he easily could
have given up, but he didn't.
Instead he kept going, he won the war, America
has won freedom, and he,
became the 1st President. The men who fought in
that war were just as important,
the war could NOT have been won with out them,
America, would not have freedom,
without them. And most of them were farmers,
who didnt know how to fight.
You are important, no matter what you think. You
do make a difference,
and I hope you know that.
Enjoyment comes from within
It is no one else’s job to entertain or enlighten you
It is no one else’s job to increase your bliss.
This job is yours and yours alone.
Whenever, wherever and however you find bliss
Is yours to do, for happiness is based on choices.
If you love to dance, please dance.
If you love to create masterpieces, please create masterpieces.
When others see your happiness, they will want to be your family.
Let them in if they know how to share their own light.
If they want to squelch your light, and keep you in the dark,
Dance off by yourself, increasing your happiness.
Enjoyment comes from within.
It is yours to nurture and love.
Spirituality, hope and independence are all factors to consider.
But so is who you spend your time with,
and what you spend your time doing.
Happiness is up to you.
Life is what you make of it.
It can be bitter- or it can be sweet.
When things don’t go your way,
Don’t give up, and wallow in defeat.
There’s a bright side to most everything,
If you look for it you’ll find.
All things work together for good,
And that brings peace of mind.
When life hands you lemons,
Don’t accept that as the end.
It’s up to you to see the positive side,
And to change the future with faith, my friend.
In this game
of love roulette
I’ve spun the wheel
three times in two years
and have so far lost each spin.
Now it’s your turn
to spin the wheel,
to take your own chances
all by yourself
without any interference from me.
It’s up to you now
whether I come by,
whether I stay away,
but, know if I’m gone long enough
even your calls won’t bring me back.
Whatever place
I have in your life
is from now on determined
by your actions alone,
not by my long unfulfilled needs.

There is a way for man to climb
so to connect with HIs divine maker
way up there in His glorious abode
God's planned for our sin breaker
the Lord in the highest heaven above
looks down waiting for man to plead
crying to God for Him to intervene
such love displayed in our every need
At times our very souls will faint
thinking we've nothing else left to do
our hopes seem to be all gone
but then they rise by you know who
The key words are forever the same
they are 'I remembered the Lord'
for He's still in His holy temple
the king is risen flashing His sword
Send up your prayer at any moment
for our great high priest makes intercession
He's the one making our prayers perfect
get on your knees now without hesitation
'When my life was fainting away,
( I remembered the Lord,
and my prayer came to you,
into your holy temple.'
Jonah 2: 7 (esv) )
Live for yourself;
I won't do it for you,
And don't you dare try living for me.
A dream, to be true,
Must be up to you.
Life slips away like a passing thought;
enjoyed, and then, the moment is lost.
And yet, each second is precious when
Man's mortality must bear the cost.
Time favors the impetuous young
by slowing down to extend their play.
To them, a week's an eternity,
and a moment can feel like a day.
But as the years drop like falling leaves,
time significantly picks up speed.
And though you may wish that it would slow,
time, can but continue to proceed.
We see time as either friend or foe;
although neither assertion is true.
It is how you perceive time that counts;
and that is entirely up to you.
