Best Valued Poems

Life's valued treasures, I hold most dear,
the ones that dwell deep within my heart.
There's a special memory from younger days
that I will share with you, and fondly impart.

When I think as far back as I can, I remember,
there was only one special thing I ever...

I did not know where I would end up 
This journey has been one of self-discovery 
One of self-love 
A journey where the obstacles
That seemed insurmountable 
Became stepping stones

I prayed for things I didn't need 
Only to discover they weren't meant for me
I get to...

Let me tell you a story….  
 
About a year loving pet named big red,
I still can’t believe he’s dead.

He was such a wonderful dog,
He wasn’t a bump on a log.

He was my protector and friend,
My love for him will never end.

Everyone in the...

Greed is gold compounded together to make slaves out of souls. What a surprising use of an 
element. Charted to appeal, to tear down human inhibition. We throw money in wells wishing 
for more; an industrious scheme, selling misty water-colored dreams giving our fantasies life....

From rags to riches come money and “*****es”, thus leaving values buried in the past.

The tombstone reads “there lies integrity and morals”, they all tend to die around the same 
fiscal year; tax season. Greetings! To big checks with no longevity. We buy new shoes,...

Since World War II, I’ve traveled the world,
Seeing many countries both near and far.
I started in the States where my eyes were unfurled,
Being kept in pockets and in many a jar.

Right off the press, I started out crisp and new.
I was cut from the others...

May you know that you are valued

I wanted to pass on something
From my childhood memories
But all that I had left
Was sad feelings and broken dreams 

Everything that I loved
Was destroyed or tossed away
Burned bridges...

The things in life that mean the most,
Can’t be bought or sold, I boast.

Freely given from ones heart,
Is what sets these gifts apart.

These valued treasures are widely sought.

Giving of yourself only helps you grow,
It’s God’s intention don’t you know?

Of the ones not known
Dedication starts
Those who ask nothing
Though do very much
Just the small details

Compassionate

In general
Just living life

Stepping up
One favor
With no catch

These are

Worth living

Giving, caring, loving, joyful

Valued like a large diamond

Meaningful, precious jewels

Priceless, taken for granted

Everlasting, gifted

Valued....

You sell yourself for money
Hour lunch two coffee breaks 
To punch a card at 5pm
For a cheap watch and a cake
You live on autopilot 
A zombie for the pay
Make copies, staple papers
Day, after day, after day
You think you're irreplaceable 
Never make it without you
But if...

Soupers often engage in emotional ways.
There can be depth in what two might exchange.
When someone leaves our shared Soup domain,
their diminished light is a missed, valued sight.  
Some remarks feel like word-shaped embraces
and time together often leaves valued traces.
Is is not odd, just plain...
