Goodwill Poems

Message of Goodwill or The Goodwill Message

We are living in a world of sin
Injustice, Selfishness and Racism.
And on human affaris it appears nobody cares'
And degradation is such an abomination
Poltical Opression, Victimisation, Cheating And Bribery.
Repeating Animosity.
No Sharing And Caring,And No Loving or Giving. Why?
For You see Principles Today
Fast Slipping Away.
Only To Stay, Oh Lord!
We've Gotto Consider, Lord, JUSTICE as Our SAVIOUR.
The Ship

We see them popping up on random streets
in a neighbourly outreach kind of way.
We don't know who to thank
since no one steps up to claim the credit
but it's the community as a whole
who benefits in many wondrous ways.

The suburbs are delighted to champion
these ecofriendly gifts of sharing ~
not only charming but welcomed pointers that
goodwill and

salvation army

she wore purple because she liked it.
hanging stiffly on the store rack,
yellow goodwill tag with smudged blue ink,
was it a three or five?
she argued for three, willing to pay five, she did.

her breasts had followed the alphabet
from a to b to c to d
and settled back on c
after some of the air had escaped

Goodwill Star

Don’t run away from this night,  
For you are the jewel of my light.  
Let not a stranger come between us,  
For which other love can be a worthy bus?  
In my dreams, you stand afar,  
Come close and be my goodwill star.

Premium MemberAutumn's Goodwill


September dreams follow the night,
Whispering peace, sighing soft and still,
Like music, echoing the soul’s delight.

October visions seek those she’ll excite,
Shadowing the spirit with dewdrop’s spill,
September dreams follow the night,

November imaginings color hearts right,
Glorious dreams the soul will fulfill,
Like music, echoing the soul’s delight.

Melting moments that poets soon write.
Autumn’s kindness brings such a thrill.
September dreams follow

GOODWILL
By Leon Enriquez


Empty your bowl here
Of yesterday’s tears
Wait upon new cheer


Dark the cast of night
Still the starry lights
Put sadness to flight

~~~~~~~~~


Dawn comes once again
To empty old pains
To etch smiles we gain


Morning light burns bright
To spread lovely sights
New touch of delight

~~~~~~~~~


Seize then this new day
Blessings on the way
Time for fun to play


Moments bloom worthwhile
So

String well each part as joy imparts;
Faith knows deep peace as hope greets cheer,
Love anchors lease with all things dear.



Day #1: The Christ

To restore man’s pure

Christmas Proclaimation - Peace On Earth; Goodwill To All Men

Brothers, sisters
Kindred spirits.
Angels - and best friends, all.
To all, alike.
Sharing, with us, the one
Father. High-sung.

World-ringed, resounds
The world once more
With this, His own clear voice.
Great heart's; through them.
Merciful indulgence!
True benevolence!

Premium MemberGoodwill Overflowing

Praise be to the tranquil home
Where care and amity abide
Like a well-worn book or favorite poem
In whose members we confide
And whose values are our guide

Ill-fated is the raging home 
Where resentment and cruelty reign
Like an outcast always bound to roam
Doomed to empty constant pain 
Where no glimmer of will remain

Blessed is our home within
Where resides

I'm stuck on this sidewalk alone
I can't contact god with no phone
Confusing religion
No carrier pigeon
Why doesn't god send down a drone?

Brotherhood of Woods

The trees with tall reach,
What lofty wisdom they teach?
Brotherhood for good,

What alas men learn?
Destroy in grey greed, govern,
Needless thence to brood!

The man of God works in silence.

Goodwill Ambassador Gershon
Kind, joyful poet, my assertion
Never tries to lampoon or deride
His poetry leaves us happy inside




4/25/2020

As this COVID-19 pandemic rages all around us, how encouraged I am when poets, like Gershon and others, use their gift of poetry to build up one another.
