Here I sit rain or shine, holding nothing but a simple sign….
I’m just like you, aren’t we from the same God? Yet nobody sees me, my heart beats just as yours, my eyes are covered up by my long unkept hair, unshaven beard, no shelter I have, but this cardboard box..
I know your name, but you don’t see me, my heart is heavy, my tears I shed you cannot see, my life has took an unwanted path, all I ask for is a hug. I’ve made my share of mistakes in life, my bed is made, now I must sleep in it.
The streets are my home now, remember me sister, we shared the same womb, you turn away from my simple wave of hello, don’t have any any value anymore?
I’m tired, I will lay down on the park bench, at least I have my dog to cover me up, the keep me warm .
I love you my twin sister, Gid bless your heart..
I Passed out on the couch while the Friends song is on.
She said first you must love yourself, before you can give yourself to someone else.
My singular identity withstanding tragedy.
With only one life to live, you have to work hard to attain oppertunities
I wonder whether people consider what it would be like
to become a human stonehedge??
Because that is the type of person, that could withstand just anything.
What I really want is to take a walk hand and hand with my faults
Have a moment with my confidence and Pride.
Tell them that I love them and always to come out whether the world is rain or shine.
I want to tickle my shy, and chastize the sound of my dreary sighs
I want to set my sails high, so Posidon will blow his heaving breath pushing my doubts and
self pity away
I feel like a young Galileo.
Staring at the sun, while all the others played jauntingly along
It's going to take so long......
I have a foot race with me and only the course of time
Form:
AMBIVALENT
The swallowing of a morsel can't be justified
If the stomach still hurts.
Scorpion– the shining demon,
who doesn't stop until it’s quashed
applauds as it was filled with goosebumps.
A dog with two tails–yet barks,
and they say the future of the unknown
Is seen by Accompaniment of tears with personal growth.
Yet– the flame went down through us.
Come rain or shine,
A new Renaissance needs to be found
To a land proposed with happiness
In a wide dark bush filled with bitter leaf.
Yeh! the old Renaissance
The assumed room temperature was hugged.
some bellied up while a few fell on the wrong side of the grass.
Who knows!
If I will bite the dust before then!
Time flies like an arrow
No money– yet parties flowed like never before
No Food– yet waste bins overflowed with food remnants
Nothing to write home about
But bittersweetness is to be remembered
Peace be unto us that made it,
To that decade we never thought we could overcome
Surely another mountain shall stand against an egg,
Enthralling to see the new resolution.

Spend time in prayer, in scripture, in God’s presence – every day, rain or shine, because this is the time I shall forever treasure!
Plant a flower, a tree, a smile… a seed of hope, faith or love – nourish it with kindness, compassion and light from the One who created us all!
Lift a heart, a burden or darkness – with a song, a poem, a heartfelt thanks for the one who knows that the best gifts come from above and are brought alive by the power of love!
Wish on a star or throw a penny into a fountain overflowing with the wishes of those gone on before you, little reminders that we all take pleasure in the dreams that inspire our hearts to believe!
Share a silent moment, a gesture of charity, a feeling or word or deed, intended to give the recipient a sincere feeling of joy and wonder that shine from the soul who knows that God is the giver of every good and perfect gift, especially those given from the spirit of love that abides on hearts who sincerely deliver the brilliance of compassionate grace!

May your days be merry bright
And full of blessings. May all...
Your wishes come true this...
Yuletide season. May your cup of life
Overflow with optimism. May all your
Unfulfilled dreams come to fruition.

Days dwindle down to a brand new
Auspicious year. I hope all...
Your tomorrows continue to...
Shine brighter than your yesterdays
Be grateful for all you have
Enjoy all that life has to offer

Entertain high hopes, and may they...
Rise exponentially high and...
Reach the height of heaven. God willing...
You continue to prosper. I pray that the...
Bud of goodwill opens up fully for you
Reach out to God through prayer; walk
In his shadow, rain or shine. Continue to...
Glorify his name and seek refuge in him
Honor him this holiday season, and do...
Take care of yourselves. Amen.

No romance today.
The cemetery was deserted,
at the far edge of the tiny village,
shrouded in a fine sultry fog.
Large black trees threw darkened shadows
over the deserted gruesome sepulchers.
Few cared to visit, few cared to tend the tombs.
A large hawthorn hedge, irregularly grown,
surrounded its oblique perimeters.
Cursed, the villagers said
for it never flowered red blooms
during any time of the year.
An old hunchback lived there,
he lived all alone, with no one to care
No one fed him, no one was his friend.
No one knew where he came from,
no one knew his name,
but he loved the lonely forsaken place:
he weeded out the desultory paths,
and cleaned the old dreary tombs,
he planted evergreens and white flowers,
to welcome the damned and the doomed.
Only one woman came to visit,
constantly, rain or shine, every blessed day.
The hunchback would give her a white flower.
And she returned the gesture with a dime.
No word was spoken, nor looks exchanged.
She’d go to a small tomb, presided by a tearful angel.
The grave was covered with a cold white marble slab.
There she’d leave the white flower,
stand for a while in silence till she left,
No tears fell down her wrinkled old face.
The cemetery prevailed in gloom.
Life’s enveloped, digressed and got old
Memories are fading even against my hold.
Years have flown by oh so fast
It’s a pity I couldn't make them last.
16 I was innocent and sweet
17 wasn't good to me
18-19 saw me grow
20 I decided to make my own
21-23 saw me party, lie and cheat
24 I began to get weak
25 work took over
I knew my party days were over
I got a degree amongst all the fun
I began to outshine every one
A proper job set for life.
My mid -20’ s now I must survive
26 I settled down
I had a 2 bedroom flat and job to hold down
27 life became a mess
Life and love began to give me stress
28-have you not been told?
All my dreams and hopes were sold
A downward spiral I did take
God made me pay for every mistake
So here I sit on the eve of 29
I wonder what stories here I will find
But whether it be rain or shine
29, it is time…………
So in the distance I hear them sing
Happy birthday…lets join in
29 is here, let’s all cheer
…………….Have a happy birthday dear.
Come rain or shine
The children of Penny Lane
Gather to play and while away
At Lady Madonna
Out polishing her front doorstep
Day by day
On her run down council tenement terrace house
She is so house proud
But expectant visitors never come
Nothing alive has crossed over
Since that letter was delivered
Notification her Husband and Son
Where alas no more
Casualties of war
Merely your country owes you a debt of gratitude sincerely sorry for your loss
With no body to repatriate nothing
to put in a coffin or bury she couldn't even
plan or mourn at their funeral
Eleanor Rigby
Where do they all the lonely people
Come from and go
God only knows the time and place
The grass is greener, I will have you know
On the other side of life, its true, I know
Sunny places will keep you smiling for days.
But my home of green is better by far!
Rain is something, I have befriended.
For what the rain creates, can never be ended!
Green hills of grass next to an ocean of blue.
Green hill of trees on mountains high.
As we travel through areas of natural beauty
Sometimes so stunning, I could simply cry.
Come rain or shine, I'll keep my smile.
Living where I do, is living for sure!
Wearing a raincoat, popping on galoshes,
Bouncing in the puddles, oh what glee.
Truly my happy place, loves the child in me.
I cannot experience this beauty alone
So come on friends, Come and stay,
Share our beautiful spot in the world of green today!
I am a man born on earth
I am a man born on earth
To live is my right
For that I will fight
I don't need to be black or white
Wheiter day or night
Rain or shine
This life is mine
For life is my right
And not a privilege
My home the global village
So I have the right to be free
To go anywhere
Weither here or there
I have no place
Than the earth
The earth is my home
So leave me alone
I don't need
All these wealth
Neither gold nor silver
Can buy my health
I have no place to go
For heaven is Christian's
And hell for sinners
But as for me
The earth is my dwelling place
By his grace
The plants feeds me
when I'm hungry
And heals me when I'm ill
For that's the makers will
The trees provides me with shelter
Down there is a the beautiful river
Which quenches my thirst
And wash away all the dirt
The birds flying in the sky
And I wonder why
There's no place to go
The earth is my home
