Leave Behind Poems - Poems about Leave Behind

We walk in the footsteps of our ancestors who walked before us… Whether we realize it or not their footsteps have a profound effect… If we’re blessed They walked with a sense of humility, kindness, compassion, wonder and respect. If we’re blessed They walked together with family, friends and strangers… hand-in-hand looking out for one another. If we’re blessed They treated the mountains,...

I think of those I knew who’ve passed And what they’ve left behind, Impressions that remain engraved In caverns of my mind. Perhaps just an expression Or some laughter we once shared Or a reaching-out connection Where our truest selves were bared.

You’re always my first thought when I wake up each day, Whether times are rough, or they seem like paradise. When I need it most, you always know what to say And you always bless me with wonderful advice. But, I don’t know what I will do after you’re gone. That first day will be different from the others. Just know...

Saddened hearts, Our eyes cast low, for the sorrows of this land; Are we really, doing all we can, to lend our helping hand? We come from backgrounds far and near, Histories vast and yet the same; Violence touches all of us, -yet, we are ALL to blame. We live our lives, day by day, and We are all okay; But someone somewhere’s crying, and...

Since we never really know - just how much time we're given. It's a good thing to make the most of it - while we're still living! Before it becomes my time - to leave this Earth and go. These words of wisdom upon you - I'm going to bestow! Listen carefully to what people say - your buttons...

Leave behind your shadow For its a piece of who you are You lead a life full of memories Hard work Joy & great tears But If you leave behind your shadow A piece of you will last beyond your years Every human is a treasure For whom will leave a mark All your efforts will have been worth while As you reach the light...

We all have brothers, fathers, uncles and friends that we love dearly, but when it comes to the antics of males in relationships, we often wonder if they know the meaning of the phrase, "Get a grip!" The endless charades they perpetuate, and even when they get caught red handed, They still try to evade and save themselves from shame, It is said, when...

I woke smelling smoke as I lay in bed Suddenly my mind was filled with great dread From my window I could see flames leaping So much had been lost as I was sleeping With heat and pungent smoke my house was rife Decided to jump out to save my life ‘Twas then I heard my cat starting to choke My compassion...

A long slab of gravel paved with regret Mile markers on each side Broken dreams merged with infinite possibilities On the road I leave behind Stranded in the driveway I look in the rear view mirror to find Infinite entities in an alternate reality It’s the beginning of the road I leave behind Through a shadowing abyss I will emerge from the pits that...

looking for somewhere that I've never been all alone and in between the place I come from and the place that I'm in the place I left behind there's a few things I don't know some things hidden, I don't want to see things come and things go here today, gone tomorrow here for a minute, gone in an hour now it all just goes...

Earthly possessions Are a waist of time. Why do we focus on what we must leave behind? We obsess over it. We kill for it. We will sell our souls just to own it. So why? When we die it's all left behind. Such a big waist of time! The money we use to buy these materialistic...
