Best Upliftingpoetry Poems
If heaven permits
I will be a robin
Perching
Up on a sunlit branch of a tree
Gazing at the far-off light
That flourishes out on the vanilla sky
I will sing
From June to the merry month of May
Every flat
Every sharp
Every note of poetic symphony
That glitters ceaselessly
I will fly
Rough and tough
Beyond ferns and herbs
At odds with
The whirling wind
That might spoil my beauty
And yes
I will soar
Steeper than the milky way
As long as the world breathes
Until heaven
Forbids me
not.

... That maybe I need to ratchet it down a bit,
Least I appear too annoyingly enthusiatic. (HAHAHAHA)
But I want you all to know,
The beauty of poetry
And my appreciation
For all it's form
Or where it came from
Is my heart's most fervent passion.....

THE WORLD NEEDS MORE POETS! HAIL POETRY SOUP!!! MORE, MORE!!!! :o)
I praise Him for the sunshine
And the stars above
I praise Him for His saving grace
I praise Him for His love
I praise Him for the plants and trees
And the smell of lovely flowers
I praise Him for the busy bees
And for April showers
I praise Him for the Summer
And the Winter too
I praise Him for the Autumn
And Springtime all things new
I praise Him for creation
And everything that's good
I praise him that He washed me
Washed me in His blood
I praise him for Poetry Soup
And all my friends out there
Sharing all their inmost thoughts
In poetry form so dear
