GO WHERE YOU MAY
Go where you may and do as you please , for the time being ,
It's what you want, doing it your way is what you'll be seeing.
Blind as a bat with your direction completely unknown ,
Not knowing there is a path you have never been shown .
Fight with your might and Struggle as you surely will,
Untill you find that path , life will always be uphill.
But if you give it all to him, the one who knows,
Listen to his wisdom , walk in his light and grow.
Trust in his word , Believe with all of your heart ,
This my friend would be the right place for you to start.
All your worries and all your woes will soon disappear,
When you are walking with Jesus , you'll have no fears.
Your life will be brightened by the love in his light,
Thats when you'll know you are living this life right.
Love , Joy and Happiness for all Eernity is his promise,
Because of the love God has for each and eveyone of us .
Thank him and Praise him as much as you possibly can,
For this is all that our Heavenly Father asks of man.
So go where you may and do as you please for the time being,
Remember , his light is the only way and that's all you should be seeing.

My eyes are getting old
But not my feelings
Cataract is forming
And so my inspirations growing
I see life and its styles
I see people and things
Nature and the surroundings
I feel their existence
I am grateful
I see goodness more than evils
I have dreams more than frights
I see poems, art pieces
Philosophy, religions and human nature
I see incidences and disasters
I see, I feel, I experient
I act, I learn
I recall, I remember
I see with feelings and love
I see the visible
And feel the invisible
But
Some people see the invisible
And feel the invisible
I think that's the love of God

Son Scott, is following in Daddy's footsteps
So proud of that boy of mine
Technology's gotten way ahead of me now
Back then, my designs made me shine
But Scottie has taken it to a whole new level
He's made it in today's techno art
This old guy couldn't even begin to compete
I'd be blown right off the charts
Kind of sad, but that's progress I guess
Make way for the new generation
Out with the old ways and in with the new
Time for the next innovation
Guess it was time, now in retirement
Would've continued on if I could
That day has arrived, I am yesterday's man
If I could do it all over, I would
A good reason to greet the sun each morning
Thoughts of an exciting new project
Forever challenging my artistic abilities
In my comfort zone creating new concepts
Sadly, the world is leaving me behind
Must step aside for the new generation
Was a total blast for almost fifty-five years
A time of such great inspiration
Revived an older one
Poetry Soup, a forum international, a celebration
Of intellectual curiosity and creative exploration,
Embellishing soul’s heartfelt musings, amplifying
Themes, resonating elegantly in forms and diction;
Rhythmic and meaningful linguistic brushstrokes
Yearning to forge missives hearts’ passions invoke;
Symphonic expressions of simile, and metaphors,
Ornate elucidations literary exultations compose;
Ubiquitous presence in poetic assembly of world,
Precious garden for nurturing blossoming words.

America swing free
from the dreams of forgotten pain
embrace the love of all people
think not of colour
but embrace the world of love
step away from the anger of yesterday
no more arguments and fights
let today highlight the needs of people
fight for free education
strive to help your children
be proud of overcoming slavery
now lets step towards overcoming racism
step up to the battle of beating Covid 19
Isolating one state after another
bringing health to all your people
step up to the needs of your economy
creating plans to overcome poverty
look at all people as American
you are not black
you are not white
you are not wogs
you are not Mexican
you are American
one people, one nation, one world
standing tall to make a better planet
teach you people to invest
creating jobs for all your people
Encourage people to builds home's
creating a thriving building industry
reduce interest rates to make loans accessible
encourage people to work
even the cleaner can earn money
to improve his education
make it easy to improve your education
every factory has a board room
that could be used as a classroom
a cleaner can be taught, to become a teacher
a teacher can be taught to become a scientist
help people create their dreams
and build plans, to live their dreams
look after your penny's
and your dollars will look after themselves
your people are your penny's
with each person that becomes a success
their tax improves your economy
when you give a man a pie,
he eats for a day
When your teach a man to create pie's
he becomes a chef and feeds the people
his wages, his tax, improve your economy
If you want to overcome racism
learn that your behaviour creates racism
if you steal money or murder people
it destroys the respect of people
if you want people to be proud of you
become a person that's proud, of your success
A poet who was famous for his love poems was approached by a young boy who shyly bowed his head…
“I want to write a love poem…can you teach me how?” He said.
The old poet smiled.
“So you have come to me because you know how love and poetry are intertwined…and I’m guessing there is a special someone for this poem you have in mind.”
A nervous smile crossed the young boy’s face at these words the poet said.
He looked up and the old poet could see his cheeks were glowing red.
The old poet smiled again.
“My best advice is don’t start out to write a love poem…you see it doesn’t work that way…start our writing about this person…and love will find a way.”
“Take pencil in hand…and think about this person…soon you’ll find it so exciting…
How the words will travel from your heart to your brain and end up in your writing.”
“And your poem may rhyme…or it may not…it does’t matter for in time you’ll see…anything written from your heart…why…that is poetry.”
“And you’ll feel such a sense of accomplishment when your poem is done…
That it won’t matter if it finds its way to a million people…or if it reaches only one.
“And once you’ve written your first love poem…once you see it completed there…
You’ll want to write another and another…because you’ll start to see love everywhere.”
“You’ll see it in your family…you friends…your pets, the Earth…your home…just remember, if you’re writing from your heart…you’ll end up with a poem.
“And finally remember you are human…sometimes you’ll end up with the perfect poem…a poem you will adore…other times you’ll realize…that’s what they make erasers for.”
“So if you want to write that love poem, take this pencil and this pad of paper too…
I have told you how to start…the rest is up to you.”
Pablo Neruda, the great Chilean poet,
Was exiled in an isolated Italian island during WWII,
Only communication he had with the world,
Were thru the letters delivered by the postman(Mario).
Mario: What's a poem?
Neruda:
It's a metaphor, it's a metaphor,
Mario: What's a metaphor?
Neruda:
'It is a device for seeing something in terms of something else.
It brings out the thisness of that, or a thatness of this.'
Mario: How do I write a metaphor?
Neruda:
Think of rain as the cry of the heavens,
Think of love as a rose,
Think of burning candle as the agony of a lonely heart.
Mario: How do I piece together metaphors?
Neruda:
On a moonlit night, I see my love reflected in the moon's silvery light,
Holding her tight, I smell the fragrance of jasmine tonight,
Adoring her smile, I see the beauty of monarch butterflies,
Staring in her eyes, I see the oasis of love in my high desert lonely life.
Mario:
How do I write a poem?
I love her but have not a spoken a word.
Neruda:
You have the inspiration, put in some romantic words.
On a beautiful moon lit night, I wonder who is prettier,
When I look at you, I forget about the moon.
Knit together love, loneliness, fear, and tears of heart,
Into a beautiful tapestry of emotions and feelings that mask your heart,
Stitch some metaphors, make it a heartwarming comforter.
Wasn't that long ago that she attended the high school prom,
Wearing a frilly gown sewn by her very talented Mom!
She shed her jeans to wear a tailored suit of Army green,
And a jaunty black beret - My! She did look keen!
She spurned scholarships believing it her obligation,
To emulate her Dad and Grandpa who had served their nation.
She mastered basic training with other bewildered recruits,
Wearing battle dress uniforms and sturdy combat boots!
She marched with her comrades beneath the blistering sun,
Toting her fifty pound pack, helmet and trusty gun.
She excelled as a soldier and was named "Soldier of the Year!"
She loved the Army and considered making it her career.
When others became dispirited she was their inspiration,
Urging them to, "Press On! Press On!" with determination.
Her captain readily saw that she served with devotion.
He boosted her to sergeant, a well-deserved promotion!
When in the heat of battle midst falling rocket and bomb,
She encouraged fellow warriors with resolute aplomb.
As time passed on she produced her own little recruits,
Who were proud to proclaim, "My Mommie wore combat boots!"
