As I gather my thoughts, I can feel something break,
a prolonging absence that makes my heart ache.
I have many fond memories of which I hold dear,
but there is nothing I can do, but wish you were still here.
Every time I would fall you were always right there,
you would pick me back up, with a breath of fresh air.
With the sound of your voice and your kind gentle touch,
you always made me feel special, Mom, I miss you so much.
You now dwell in my heart and live on in my mind,
in my hour of need, you’re still easy to find.
With patience and love you brought my life joy,
even though I grow old, I am still your little boy.
You were my light in the darkness, you shushed all my screams,
in a cold evil world, you brought peace to my dreams.
You made the sun shine even brighter and the sky a deeper blue,
I had the world’s best mother, all because of you.

A friend, one who can relate
A friend, who will take heed
A friend, I'd call a soul mate
A friend, in your hour of need
A friend, who you look out for
A friend, some they are rare
A friend, that is one for sure
A friend, some don't compare
A friend, when time's are grey
A friend, with some patience
A friend, at the end of the day
A friend, not an acquaintance
A friend, there are not so many
A friend, just having at least one
A friend, I'd call thy epiphany
A friend, now that is someone
In my hour of need
Sadly, you’re not there
Alone, I reached out for you
But you weren’t there
And in this darkest hour
Where Death is a step away
His touch so warm
So welcome, until the sun, it rose
But where were you when I was lonely?
And where were you when I needed you?
And where were you when I realized
You’re the only light in my life?
Maybe you’ll never know
How scared I am
Of being left
Back in the dark
Maybe things would be better
If I was different
Don’t try to comfort me
Because you know me
And you know I’m right
But why are you forsaking me?
And why tear away?
Now, as I die for you
May your skin crawl as I breathe your name
And through these weeks
My dread multiplied
And you made the wounds worse
Come to me
Hold me close
My love
Tell me, what have I done to you?!
Now I walk
I walk alone to a place I know
It’s a wondrous little place
But it’s far, far away
Everlasting life and peace
In my perfect world
Inside your embrace
A place I know only exists in my dreams
Life has a way of ending when
It all seems to be going so perfectly
I hear Death calling my name
And the longer you continue this
The less I feel resistance to join him in his world
Pain!
Shame!
Drain,
Me of my inner peace
And I know it’s wrong
(But you don’t care anyway)
I know the legacy of you and I
And I know what this signifies
And I hope this all will pass
And the sun will rise again.
There are some who say,
that we were never close.
They are the ones who
made the connections impossible.
When you were born God had smiled,
and I cried.
Because we were told,
you were born without fingers and toes.
Father had lied to us,
and I never forgave him for that.
Such sad and wicked things,
we endured.
You were perfect,
in every way, Angela.
A new little sister,
A beautiful little Angel.
We grew up,
In a household full of stress filled commotion.
We never had stable love,
But you always looked up to me.
And I always tried to be,
Like a Mother to you, when you were small.
Angela this poem,
Is dedicated to you.

The years have passed,
since you've gone,
thrown to heaven,
On a song.
I believed in you,
and the things you said,
I never acted on it,
It was so wrong.
Jealousies from the one,
who told you don't ever call,
I always waited to hear from you,
but she helped to build your walls.
I remember you telling me,
condescendingly she said you looked like me,
she had evil intentions,
hiding way down beneath.
I will always remember you,
you remembered me too,
It was me and God,
In your hour of need, that you last spoke to.
God has you now,
and some day,
I will join you,
together we shall pray.
For all the wicked ones,
who have no conscience,
no morals,
who are in this life an evil constant.
Rock-a-bye my sister,
sleep well and stay safe,
know that I love you,
forever and a day.
Vickie Hurtt-Thayer Poet
Unfair treatment at the hands of a boss
Power mad, slanderous causing me loss
Invalidated, worthless and lost,
Friends disregarding never giving a toss
Walking alone with no purpose or value
stuck in a zone where there’s no me and you
an individual lost, pointless confused
Never awarded rewards always feeling used
No one cared now neither do I
Life is unfair and then you die
Down at rock bottom living life
Treated rotten through selfish lies
All at the hands of the bitter and jealous
Going against me in all that develops
And Telling their lies to all other fellows
Those thoughtless folk who only follow
Now numb and removed with no desire
Spent all my effort now there’s no more
I can’t find a spark an ember or fire
Psychological warfare I’ve had to endure
Never give up and one day it will change
Why are humans so selfish and strange
Already got me then discredit my claims
Death follows life with nothing that pains
I’ve lived defeated while others succeed
They beat me down in my hour of need
I helped them out pulled them back to feet
Death follows life and I bet it’s more sweet
Living a life where you do not belong
Without a worth and you’re not strong
When you’re not interested in carrying on
It matters as much as it will when I’m gone
1
My heart aches with your pain.
Please accept my sympathy.
Your loss is so great.
I understand the void.
Use my friendship and love
to help you through your loss.
Try to remember
God entrusted us with His Children,
To guide and love here on earth.
He was ready to take your child
back to a life we can only pray for.
One day you and I will be
Reunited with our Angels !
2
When everything is at it's worse
And clear skies turn to rain,
Know in your heart God will place His Hand
And gently stop the pain.
He knows the pain upon your heart,
He knows your deepest thought.
He will make you stronger day by day,
So listen for His word, and fear not.
3
In your hour of need accept our sympathy.
Know we share in your loss.
When you're so sad remember
Your friends are here.
Here to lean on, to cry with,
and to remember with.
May our friendship and love stay with you.
4
There should never be a loss as great as yours.
If possible look at the bigger picture.
Realize that your loved pne
Has just come to the finish line first,
Making them the Winner at Heaven's Gate.
5
Too soon ? Who are we to say,
We all have our time, or is it our chance
To enter into a new realm.
6
Today I got a message I did not want to hear.
The news that tore apart the heart of friends I hold so dear.
I know just what you're feeling.
I know the sorrow and pain.
I wish I could be there
To bring sunshine instead of rain.
7
You can now rest assured
That he is pain free.
You can now concentrate
On yourself you will see.
8
He knew it was time to let go
Of the worldly things that were here.
Now he watches from above
And protects the ones he holds dear.
Liberal and poetic translation of an extract from the verse portion of Lotus Sutra, Chapter 25 (Avalokitesvara Chapter).
Sentient Beings mired in myriad hardships,
Who toss and turn and buckle under
Relentless anxieties, the fog of uncertainty,
Shall find relief in the miraculous wisdom of
Avalokitesvara, whose name dissolves all difficulties!
The wondrous sound of Avalokitesvara!
So pure like serene waves, peerless in this world,
Who could afford to ignore it?
Cherishing each chant with true faith, the pure
And Sagely Avalokitesvara, the rock all may lean against
In their hour of need and day of peril.
Replete with merit, and eyes of benevolence,
Blessings boundless like the ocean, worthy of reverence!

A young lady’s soul was trapped in a life of moral decay.
She was born and raised underfoot; painful memories were all that were made.
She often dreamed of marriage and having a child to call her own.
Her eyes were filled with hunger, desperately wanting to feel true love.
Her mother was very self-centered and her father was never around.
She longed to find someone who would lift her up from being let down.
One day a man came calling, affection to her he showed.
She quickly fell in love, but little did she know.
They both agreed to marriage and a baby was soon on the way.
He finally displayed his evil heart, then became violent and full of rage.
A heated moment of passion had now turned into a dark night of fear.
He strangled the life right out of her, revived her and left her there on the floor.
She was then kicked and brutally beaten, by the man she loved and adored.
He made her feel at fault as she lay bleeding like never before.
He raped and beat her daily, as their baby continued to grow.
She worried about her future and if she could carry such a load.
Punched, stabbed and strangled she fought with all of her might.
One night she vowed that her baby, would never have to live this life.
In her finest hour, she found the courage to run away.
Her baby grew up knowing love and is happy this very day.
All grown up and married, with a child now of her own.
They’ll never know the pain, this woman in chains had once did know.
This story I tell is true, it’s the life of my dearest best friend.
I’m glad she overcame and adapted and fled that life that was so dim.
Her path in life was forged by one defining moment.
It found her in that hour of need and gave her strength and courage.
It led her out of bondage, thus ending her night of pain.
Relived now only in nightmare, this woman who broke her chains.

A Poem for Dignity and Pride :
https://youtu.be/DFts1E32EDI
Never Lose Your Dignity And Self-Respect
Trying to Make People Love & Appreciate You.
When they just are not willing to.
Like the moon her kindness is,
If kindness I may call.
What has no comprehension in it.
But is the same for all.
As though my sorrow were a scene
Upon a painted wall.
So ,Like a bit of stone I lie.
Under a broken tree.
I could recover if I shrieked
My heart’s Agony .
To passing a bird,but I am dumb.
From Human Dignity.
Human Dignity is more Precious
Than Prestige .
Its better to lose with honesty and dignity
Than win by cheating .
If roses grow in Heaven,
Lord Please Pick a bunch for me ,
Place them in my Mother’s Arms.
And tell her they are from me .
Dignity and pride two little words we say
Yet we each and every one of us .
Expect to find them
Every single day.
Sometimes when you are feeling low,
With little self –esteem.
Those two words can be very elusive .
You all know what I mean.
When you help me through the day
And in my hour of need.
If we work closely as a team .
I am sure we will succeed .
When you help me through the day
As we work side by side .
With your friendly help and caring smile .
You can help me keep my dignity and pride .
So when you are helping others.
As we do from day to day .
Always be Supportive.
With the things you do and say.
With all our tasks and service users
Working side by side .
Always keep in mind
Their Dignity and pride .
Life is beautiful ,
But don’t forget that any beauty has
Its own complexities .
So we all are beautiful and making life more complicated .
Because of our complex nature.
God created every single person
For a Reason ,
So ,Donot make life complicated by your complex nature
Instead Let’s Make Him Proud that He Create such a wonderful creation .
I have realized something,
You cannot Let yourself love others ,
Unless you learn to love yourself .
For such a long time ,
I was the deepest reasoning ,
For all my pain and sadness.
But I have found love in my own self
A True Pride I have never to lose .
Because to feel the way I did .
So many months ago .
Is a way I never want to feel again.
By Aliza Kashmala Kiran (Aliza Mukhtiar)
Lost in a vacuum of darkness
Hearing beats of a distant drum
A marshaling cadence that harkened
Together we'll overcome
Advancing I paused to listen
The sonorous pounding increased
It's volume and rhythm did hasten
My lonely anxiety had ceased
I knew nothing now could stop me
Adrenaline numbed all sense of fear
My pace became more lively
As the darkness began to clear
Then suddenly another thumping
I tried to make sense of it all
My nerves were raw and jumping
From within I began to recall
With confidence I ventured
To soldier on about
Alone I fought my battles
Sowing seeds of fear and doubt
I found my path had gone astray
And led me far from home
Pride and shame would guide my way
In darkness left to roam
So longing for the sunlight
Without torrential rain
And thoughts of bright tomorrows
Without regard for pain
Into this light still brighter
Casting sins of my confession
The heaviness within my soul
Was lifted from oppression
His grace there to receive me
In my greatest hour of need
Thankful is my heart and soul
His call was there to heed
That beating drum still resonates
In such a blessed way
Now, at last, the prodigal
Is coming home to stay
Spiritually speaking,
Daniel Turner
