MISSING HER LIKE BREATH

She's steadily 
Keeping me busy
Even when I'm idle
She's always on my mind
Because I miss her like breath 
She's an idol
She's always racing in my mind.

My mind is flooded 
With thoughts of her
I think I'm addicted to her
A moment without her
It's the moment of hell
She's my heaven, the one I lean on.

I've been lost
In her way
Without no trace 
Just to see her face
None can take her place 
For she's irreplaceable 
She never complains but maintain 
What she does or gives, I can't explain.

God gives

God gives Mankind
Noble quality to be kind

God made man free
To see the world glee

God has sown seeds
In man for noble deeds

God has given senses
In man knowing denses

God readily rescues
Man who is in muse

God Gives Us Control

My world is shaped by what I see.
But only God knows what's best for me!
Nothing is impossible, all things can be.
Now that Jesus came and set me free.
I serve one God who is in three.
It's beyond my comprehension this Trinity.
I don't need to know how it can be.
As long as the Father, Son and Spirit loves me.
I am so excited because one day I'll see.
Our amazing great God in eternity!
Every day I do wrong, yet He forgives me.
There's nothing else better in life than He.
We all must take responsibility.
Everything we do wrong are our choices you see.
Thank God for the mercy He offers you and me.
By sending Jesus down to set us all free.
I know what some are thinking, how can that be?
God coming as a man, this God I can't see!
In this life there are so many mysteries.
Like how a bird can fly so effortlessly.
Truth is the only thing that matters to me.
Is I know there's a God, and I'm as happy as can be!

Premium MemberWhat Gives with Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a dilemma - 
Offering goodness freely where none was given,
can suppress rightful anger, grief, 
accountability, cause and guilt.
There are two sides to the rub for
getting mutual relief, and getting over the hurt caused.
It relievers the burden of resentment.
It regains the sense of control, with peace after turmoil.
It repairs trust and resets mutual understanding.

But, what forgiveness gives,
it can take away and be harmful as well.
It can suppress rightful anger and grief, you may need to feel.
It can be a form of denial, laughing it off, taking it on the chin.
It can open you up to repeats with no consequences.
Not forgiving, not forgetting,
can be a grim form of protection and learning,
building resilience, making you stronger
in the face of adversity.
Some wounds need justice, not silence and 
acceptance disguised as graceful forgiveness.

What gives with forgiveness 
is what it gives to the giver,
first and foremost, in the dilemma flip.

What Gives Us Away

Nobody likes to be studied too closely,
under the microscope we all display
a ridiculous, multicellular idiocy.

What gives us away
is how we squirm as the light seeks us out,
or scurry behind any rock-like molecule
to fearfully disguise
being caught by surprise.

Unlike the noble monkey and ape,
who know not the concept of foolishness,
they do not shy away
from any prying eye - are not ashamed
to be what they are.

We, the unchallenged and unhinged,
avoid at all costs to be studied
even by the flea or ant.

Look up humanity, look to the sky
there are beings up there,
their ships are spyglasses,
their point of view is to study you,

and when they figure us out
they will magnify our intellect,
examine it close
until it gets large enough
to be squashed.

MY SPECIAL WOMAN

If not for my mother 
I would have been in jail
She cool me down
Everytime them give me hate
She makes me eat
Even when I don't earn
Steadily supplying all I need.

The things 
I lack 
Are the things 
I never asked from her
She's always giving 
Unconditionally 
Without seizing 
She gives all she has for nothing.

None like a mother
Her love is genuine and tender
Staying with you in any weather 
Always render
Support whenever you need her
Fighting your opposition without surrender.

Premium MemberPuppy Gives Chase

He barks at the intruder
Chases it down the driveway
The creature floats up
Wind carries it swiftly away
Another leaf flies by
Puppy gives chase
No one can keep up with this guy’s pace
He is as excited as he can be
About anything that floats down from that tree

Premium MemberWhen Life Gives You Lemons

When life gives you lemons... make a delicious pie and smack em in the face with it!" 

"When life gives you lemons.... say, thank you, I love lemons!" 

"When life gives you lemons... make lemonade, set up a stand, and give it to anyone who is thirsty."

"When life gives you lemons... Thank God for the fruit. "

"When life gives you lemons... remember, without the sour, we can't appreciate the sweet."

Love Gives Us This Day

Love gives us this day, a canvas pristine,
Painted with hues of dawn's gentle embrace.
Each moment a brushstroke, vivid and keen,
Crafting a masterpiece of time and space.
It's a garden where hope takes root and grows,
Blooming in sunlight, kissed by morning's grace.
A symphony where every heartbeat knows,
The rhythm of joy in love's warm embrace.
Love gifts us this day, a treasure untold,
A tapestry is woven with threads of gold.

Premium MemberHumpty Dumpty Gives Us an Update


Long years ago, you heard I fell,
just tumbled from a wall and—SPLAT!
I’d not be whole again, all said.
I’m here to follow up on that.

The King’s men scraped my pieces up.
It seemed they’d better things to do
than put me back together right.
I think they used Gorilla Glue.*

Now here I am, a messed-up sight,
a monster much like Frankenstein.
My body parts are all askew.
Not even my eyeballs align.

I'm feared, avoided, ridiculed.
I've no place in society.
Made a pariah by my looks,
though not in prison, I'm not free.

I hoped corrective surgeries
would fix me; so I filed a claim.
It was denied. It seems that for
my brokenness, I was to blame. 

Here's what the agent said. I quote:
"Foolhardy eggs that perch on walls
should know that someday they'll get hurt.
They've asked for whatever befalls."

Premium MemberHe Gives his 'Goodest' Yet

     Some say an elephant never forgets
     With his trunk, he gives as good as he gets
         But Dems don’t mean Trump
         They think he’s a chump
     Donkeys mean Biden gives his ‘goodest’ yet

Premium MemberPS News Gives Cause to Sigh

From Poetry Soup I've been away ~ there's nothing much I've had to say

Not much interest in hanging out ~ not sure lately what it's about

Now I hear some people are using AI ~ cause for giving a sigh

How can they call themselves 'poet' ~ cheat - even if others don't know it

Is winning a contest that important ~ NO, so I took time to rant

Lately, I've reposted an old one or two ~ sorry they're nothing new

'til PS interests me again ~ don't forget me if you're my friend
