Courageous Poems

Premium MemberMy guardian Angel

You have been gone for a while 
Leaving  a void of emptiness 
Difficult to fill and contend with 
All around me your presence looms large
Your beautiful face lulls me to sleep nightly 
I see you every morning as I wake up
Your sumptuous lips whisper into my ear 
Courageous words of determination 
To keep hunters

Unmatched

Your efforts are focused on annihilation, 

manipulation, and my dissipation. 

My commitment is resolute and unshaken.

Jesus has risen, and I’ve been awakened.

Unfazed, I stand tall, as your stratosphere poses no obstacle.

Though things get tough, I’m still at the top of my pinnacle.

Your growl serves a dual purpose to distract and intimidate.

I roar to fight, asserting

Premium MemberWho Am I

As petals open one by one
I think of rehabilitation
But who am I?
Wild Irish rose I used to be.

I am a part of what's in you
I am the iris of your eyes
I am a black panther prancing in warm rain
I am a brook finding river, reaching to sea
I am quiet dawn awakened by the Source
I am

Courage is not the absence of fear
but acting for good in the midst if it
these words are so very true
which are so meaningful fit

Fear doesn't need to be so bad
Real-living courage is really good
it overcomes all our grief
this should be clearly understood

God says do not fear
so often throughout scripture
His word of authority stands
enabling to fully

You are Brave!

You're braver than you believe, a hero in disguise
Your heart beats strong, with courage in your eyes
Though fears may whisper loud, and doubts may creep in tight
You're stronger than you seem, and can face the darkest night

Your mind is a treasure trove, of wisdom and insight true
A wealth of knowledge hidden, waiting to break through
Don't

A ruler has  much power when his people are with him. Learn to understand the voices of the people you rule. A wise leader knows that power does not mean to control and ill

Premium MemberSon of a Tank

your life wasn't easy  
I was nine that morning
your battered face
you said you ran into 
a clothesline pole
but it was a tank
the same one I ran into
when you took us away
I should have been
angry at him, not you
you gave your children a life
sacrificed everything
yet I never 
not even now
fully realized 
what a strong, courageous

The Ukrainian resistance is a FREEDOM model for the ages!
The world must take heed for Ukrainian values are contagious!
Putin is insane and will pay the price sooner or later!
There is no room in this world for this out-of-control hater!
I would fight for FREEDOM with those courageous people if I was there 
It’s amazing how many

Living One’s Life
 
With living one’s life—
so begins now all the temptations and
all the true mortal strife.

Knowing that what may come and what
each of us may face, may not be any fun,
if at all. After all, we are all mortal in the
end.

Never fear those freaky foolish foibles of
fate, for your future lies at eternity’s gate.

april starts   clocks forward spring
practice in full swing
nets untangled from their poles
players to contact & enroll
gang mowers greased&oiled
kit-bag dis-embroiled
grass-stained pads   whitened bright
fixture list to expedite

fix sight-screen broken panels
coax another season from my flannels
spring-clean changing rooms dried with mud
re-lace boots& re-stud

wash& iron umpires coats
then score-box to creosote
tea-urns to scour
