Premium Member The Downs Syndrome Child
Someone near and dear to me Has a child with Downs Syndrome, Who, more often than not Is beyond difficult to control. The little boy is six years old But acts as if he’s two, He can’t speak at all, just yells a lot Throwing wild tantrums until he’s blue. He likes throwing things around As if everything’s a toy, And has...

Ups and Downs
A Simultaneous Existence, Exists Within us. Making a difference, Different than you Think. Connecting Emotions and Energy, Silently driving Society. Quietly Implying words you Say, We blindly pave the way. Navigating Physicality, Through this Maze of Reality. Trapped By Desires, Wrapping us In Fire. Smoke Obstructing, Suffocating our way to be. Feelings of Negativity, Run Rampantly. Simultaneously up and down, Through Humanity. Effecting Everyone you see, Tainting their energy. Changing So Slightly, You start Sinking. Thinking, Digging up...

Portal Of Life
I navigate through the portal of life Walk past the corridors Where light and shadows play Welcoming each twist and turn Accepting the ups and downs Guiding my path to my destiny Facing life's storms With fortitude and resilience Crafting me into who I am The echoes of the past Reverberates across the hallway Where the past and present meet ...

Down with Put-Downs
Handing me his laptop my older brother Ray says: “Hey, look at this!” The screen goes black so he mutters: “What'd y'do now? Here, give it back.” He fiddles with something. My back hears his cold hint from the door - “Just look at...

Dunstable Downs
A hillside of walkers gathering slow blend with the gold medal fields all aglow. Kites finding freedom, flutter and flow as looping Red Kites begin to swoop low. Families with picnics bask in the sun whilst ice-cream smeared children playfully run. Dogs chasing frisbees bark at the fun as strolling events are just about done. Rooks search for scraps on the Downs chalky...

Premium Member See Saw Of Ups And Downs
Love is like a seesaw, both sides can go up or down. It's a matter of give and take but hope it's about giving A lot more than you ever take with respect It takes two to tango you both have to want to work on Through listening patience and communication, seeing things from their perspective on their...

Premium Member Life Is Full of Up's and Downs
Life is full of up's and downs, Like a rollercoaster ride, Times of joy and times of frowns, Through which we must abide. Sometimes we reach the highest peak, And life appears so grand, But then we plummet fast and bleak, And just can't understand. But just like on that rollercoaster, We must hold tight and ride, For after every dip there's a ascent, And our...

Premium Member Life's Ups and Downs - and Ups
I went to a museum Saturday enjoying art with daughter, friend, and wife. It was our daughter's 30th birthday- a lovely way to celebrate her life! Then clouds descended on our afternoon. Discovering, returning to my car some driver turned the corner far too soon and mashed my fender, leaving a black scar. But, lest the hit-and-run scar irritate, two witnesses displaying kindness, wrote the...
