Tomorrows

*** TOMORROWS ***

These thoughts begin composed
   (“adagio ma non troppo”)
With a happy, a peaceful heart’s tempo,
Assured the nature of 
Imminent or distant tomorrows,
Is woven in vibrant colors to allure
— Very like inspired verses, 
With a soul’s knowing, a soul’s melody…

               For even God, 
               The holy I AM 
               Kept His days —
      His proceding creativity’s paced plan                             
           …With its tomorrows held 
         Open for His any needed intervening 
             Powers and graces
                (“allegro”)
          
Behold! 
The days come.  They come 
Over horizons
We live and witness
     (“allegro”)

……..Thence, too,
According to God
— By many miracles and through
His covenant concluding
     The Great Flood….Showing
His promises in a rainbow’s arched reach
Across the sky…And,as in our time,
    (“crescendo”)
A thousand ravens hover
And we imagine they wait to prey o’er each
Of our tomorrows, but they stay distant, 
   Unseen.

— For humanity, as time continues…
With its tempos’ flowing 
Of rising sun by day and moon 
By night…The dawns stir 
Fully into tomorrows.

In Asia, “tempos” may mean,
“(brought or gone via) 3-legged carts,”
     (“largo”)
Which might well define
My own aged years’ decline
   As I greet
   Tomorrows: with 
Breath by faith…
And new days with actions of meaning.

Happy 42nd Birthday Nick

Happy 42nd Birthday Nick!

My hubby Nick reads every single one of my poems as I post them on Poetry Soup. He is my inspiration and I wanted to dedicate this poem to him. "May your birthday be full of the laughter and joy…(with me…and Ella…and Brady…etc)"


"no one will ever love you more than me,
for we are bound with love ‘til eternity-
when we touch, my wounds you mend,
scattered chills down my spine you send
for you are my muse, my inspiration, 
the reason for my God-given creation
many years have passed, no flaws you see-
for it’s only the beauty you love inside me

I know you know how many poems I have written to you- since 1996. This is your 2019 (42nd) birthday poem. 

Love you baby,
Laura"

60

There's a few too many years
Clinging on these old bones
You can tell by the way
They creak and grind as they groan

And with the condition of the skin 
That loosely covers them
More than not a few wonder years
They have had to live

With what little wispy bit 
Of thinning hair that's left
There's more gray thatch than that of black
These days at its best

Then there's the ever dimming down
Of the once bright stage lights
That I hate to place the blame 
On my old age eyesight

And with the continued way
The mind skips, dips, and wanes
I find it's all a part of life's
Greatest give away

Which makes it harder than ever
To know if I was told
That this is how it really feels
When my friend you have grown old


I had a Birthday poem that I've been saving for 2 weeks now to post and this morning I can't find it! Maybe it'll show up about the time I turn 61! Lol!

Birthday Poem To Myself

Birthday Poem to Myself
by Michael R. Burch

LORD, be no longer this Distant Presence,

Star-Afar, Righteous-Anonymous,
but come! Come live among us;

come dwell again,
happy child among men—

men rejoicing to have known you
in the familiar manger’s cool

sweet light scent of unburdened hay.
Teach us again to be light that way,

with a chorus of angelic songs lessoned above.
Be to us again that sweet birth of Love

in the only way men can truly understand.
Do not frown darkening down upon an unrighteous land

planning fierce Retributions we require, and deserve,
but remember the child you were; believe

in the child I was, alike to you in innocence
a little while, all sweetness, and helpless without pretense.

Let us be little children again, magical in your sight.
Grant me this boon! Is it not my birthright—

just to know you, as you truly were, and are?
Come, be my friend. Help me understand and regain Hope’s long-departed star!

Premium Member The Voice of Her Mother- My Daughter's Gift

I've written the lyrics to two lullabies for my daughter, Shereen. I even made 
up the tunes, and I'd sing to her when she was a baby to put her to sleep. She 
still remembers those songs at 19 years of age. For my birthday last May, she 
wrote this poem as a gift....just like last year. The quoted parts are words taken from the lullabies. I adore my daughter, my greatest and most precious gift.

“When she smiles, I feel like a bird in the sky.”
The words softly sung to the weary child-
This bundle of whimpers
This armful of distress-
Hoping they’d ease her restlessness
Hoping they’d calm her disquieted heart…
And they did. 
Like nothing else ever could.
Nothing could comfort her
Like the voice of her mother.

“She is the apple of my eye.”
Rocking gently in time with the tune, she swiftly fell 
Fell into a peaceful slumber 
Nuzzled in the warmth of her consoler 
Whimpers softened, distress vanished 
Quiet. Serene.
Floating in the promise 
That those words would be there
To welcome her in the morning. 
Nothing could comfort her
Like the voice of her mother. 

“With laughter and joy she fills my heart”
Nestled in that kind embrace
The child, now almost grown
With tear-stained face and heavy heart
Couldn't fight the world alone
But whenever she was breaking, too tired to go on
She’d search for those same words-
To ease her restlessness
To calm her disquieted heart…
She’d search for those same words
To find them in those same arms.
And she’d fall. Like she always did.
Fall into that peaceful slumber
Quiet. Serene.
Floating in the promise 
That those words would be there
To welcome her in the morning. 
Nothing could comfort her
Like the voice of her mother.

Written by Shereen Nathalie Ghali (May 18, 2014)

Please read The Month of May...which is Shereen's first birthday poem written for me and posted here. You will find it if you type the title in PS's search engine. It is a beauty and is in rhyme.

Premium Member Blessed By God

My dearly beloved Sister in the Lord,
You surely are a great blessing to me and to others...
May this poem of tribute to and for you reverberate beyond our memories
Vanquishing oblivion that lurks to prevail.

Blessed by God with eternal life’s certainty
Redeemed, enjoying the Saviour’s assured security
Imparted with divine nature toward great spirituality
Guided thru the Holy Spirit’s wisdom and authority
Instructed to live by faith, trusting Christ’s immutability  
Driven forward to pursue the Lord’s will with sincerity:
A victor in the Master’s ministry; we salute you for your godly integrity! 

Moved by God’s love in serving with grace
Empowered with His strength to win in the Christian race
Nourished fully with His Word along prayer-brace
Directed for stewardship’s faithfulness all her days
Optimizing the Almighty’s offered opportunities of no delays
Zoomed toward heavenly goals midst hindrances’ trace…
A servant* of God in His church; we thank the Lord for you and Him we praise!   

This is a Birthday poem for this Sister's 59th birthday on November 13, 2018, with these notes: "Ma’am Edgie, A blessed birthday to you.  
Your life, spent for the Lord, is really a great blessing!"

I posted this on November 26, 2018 (Monday here in the Philippines).
It was November 28, 2018 Poetry Soup's Poem of the Day.
I was elated to learn about it...

Then, after I had my class in the Bible College, I was informed that Ma'am Edgie was called by God to be with Him in heaven on November 28, 2018, at 11:30 A.M. (Philippine time).  I bowed to God for His wisdom.  Indeed, He makes no mistake.  As for this beloved Sister, she will be missed... for her love to the Lord, to His work, and to the brethren.

*1Corinthians 7:22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.

Premium Member A Birthday Poem For My Very Special Friend

A  Birthday Poem For My Very Special Friend
(This is also composed  for my dear friend, PD)

Your birthday is indeed  a great time of gaiety,
It calls for a  celebration, a Grand Poetic Party
But, what I have just said is only  a secondary
Most importantly, your life is great and healthy.

I am writing this poem first and foremost,
To send my love and best wishes  to the most
For all the  dreams of yours, let’s make a toast
May they  all be fulfilled without any cost.
 
Since, I don’t have here your complete address,
I cannot send you chocolates, cakes or roses
So, I’ll just send my fervent  prayer for success
To God, He may protect you, guide you and bless.

I will also enclose  in these  lines of my poem,
My songs of bliss for you and your family at home,
May  you be free from all worries and gloom
Age added  but, you’re a gal who incessantly bloom.

My dearest friend Linda, have a very  happy birthday,
If you are only here, I’ll dance with you today,
Like a  lady on her debut on the 18th Natal Day
You’re our Grand Celebrity in ‘tis Land of Poetry.

Eldest daughter I Praise

Eldest daughter – I Praise

Twenty two years ago
     December twenty second,
two thousand eighteen
"star student" born
this papa (and most
     likely thee birth mother)
     initially felt ecstatic,
dramatic (yes frenetic),

and careworn
as freshly minted parents,
     but gifted with a daughter,
     whose existence far
more precious
than any Earthborn
rare widgets, gewgaws,
gems, et cetera, despite

     evoking unsolicited,
unpleasant, and
unmanageable forlorn
communication "dirt poor"
     living (at least ten years
    of wretchedness at 1148
Greentree Lane) unable
to toot your horn,

cuz unbearable, undesirable,
     unforgettable, et cetera,
     and manifold challenged ,
when beloved Shana
Punim evinced inborn
developmental delay,
     (which severe electric
     koolaid acid test

     patience of this father),
     much more difficult
than playing krummhorn,
now after tendering the trials

     and tribulations, an
     amalgamation of
     poignant affects,
     whereat your
     permanent presence...
(must never NOT precede mine),
cuz..., I would definitely mourn,
your absence, thus felt the timely

     opportunity to dash off
     a birthday poem to you
     in tandem with sharing,
     (while comfortably numb
and figuratively licking war
torn psychological wombs) - torn
and ripped, queued,
peppered natty psyche

pockmarked with scorn
from self, (and those lives,
this dada immediately
impacted) particularly
your person roar'n
with cumulative anger toward
     this insightful fellow,
(who claims to know

what thee feel toward me),
especially when ****
hours of valuable
     time, now caught
(say, eh...approximately, fraught
upon the half life of rare Earth
element Eden), not
just strictly naught

heard thru the grapevine,
     but forcing Math (hew)
     analysis, via meditation, poetry
     writing therapy, et cetera.

Hence...I apologize,
asper unasked for pain wrought
thee, sans being unemployed,
demeaning "mother Abby,"
bumbling, horrid house

keeper (Hagrid himself,
would turn down invitation),
plus Facebook fiasco,
imbroglio, and locomotive - 
complicit in behavior
comparable to pedophile,
yet please let me conclude
by admitting total lack
of wherewithal.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR DAUGHTER!

My Birthday Poem

                      My Birthday Poem 
 
            Woke up on a cold, gloomy day. 

            I'm feeling excited about today,
               As it's my blessed birthday. 

            The window curtains were drawn,
   As the strong wind was gusting and blowing. 

                 The kettle was whistling, 
    And my hot chocolate drink was waiting. 

                  The window was open,
          The sounds of the Crystal chimes,
                   They were so relaxing. 

                     Autumn is coming,
        And the leaves will soon start falling,
                             And
           Lovely birds have gone tweeting. 
  
              What a blessed birthday,
        On an early September morning!
