Chances Poems - Poems about Chances

The river does not hold regret, It carves new songs through stone and sand, And every willow learns to bend, When winter presses on the land. So let my heart, though bruised and torn, Begin again with morning’s...

Days fly by We've created our own version of time Foggy memories seep through our brains Been known the definition of insane But still playing the same old game Just because reality is sometimes too lame Problems just seem to appear An we're the only ones to blame It's time for a change Fear keeps us in the same old lane Praying for the strength...

Poetry Soup Premiere Contest winner MOTHER'S DAY poetry contest sponsored by Benjamin Bartley, April 2025 Morning starts early, before it gets light Opening cupboards, to see what’s in store Teachable moments, with wrong versus right Hope grabs the car keys, then heads through the door Early bird children, are making their way Ready to take on, another school week So many hurdles, to...

For love is not always easy, not always kind, It is the bond that ties us, body, and mind. We refuse to give up, to let go of what we hold dear, For in each other's arms, we have nothing to fear. Through the stormy seas and darkest nights, We cling to each other, our hearts continuing to fight. Broken but...
