Mile Markers

Have gone the extra miles
Retreaded my soul several times
Wept as time faded
In a distant swirl of lost hope
Gassed up, reved the engine
Hit the entrance ramp
Knowing
The extra miles
Are just part of life’s tour

Markers In Time

An anniversary smile;
triggers teardrops that beguile.
A joyous celebration
of true love's affirmation.

As friends celebrate with you,
congratulations come due.
And they top your special day,
with cheers of hip-hip-hurray.

Time for fun festivities;
and adult activities.
Love is toasted with champagne;
and feelings given free rein.

Upon this date, every year,
the strength of your love is clear.
And thus, this marker in time,
feels fantastic and

Markers

You preferred the milestones of life
House, kids, somebodies wife
I preferred the simpleness of our mile markers

pitter-patter of running feet
1 mile 
then the beep

Bright clear eyes
tip toes 
as you come in to celebrate
with a kiss
running with you is pure bliss

i preferred to celebrate
each mile with you
my love for you 
was simple and pure
I wish the

Highway Markers

While driving down the road, 
I spy the markers; 
some flowers, some crosses,
going by one by one, 
never a thought;
whose’s represented, 
mother, father,
daughter or son; 
driving down the road, 
as the markers are passed
one by one, 
my mind;
maybe focused on my job, 
or some future evening's fun;
driving down the road, 
as the markers are passed

Pencils, Pens, Crayons, and Markers

Pencils, pens, crayons, and markers
Makes me
An artist of the highest degree.
I can make the neatest tree
With a bird family using it as a new addressee.  
 It will have all sorts of flowers around it with
A hungry bee.
While I am still sitting on my knees
I can make a zoo in which I have the

Colored Memories Artist Box of Dried Up Markers

Colored Memories ARTIST BOX OF DRIED UP MARKERS

I'm a temperamental artist
In instants I'm prompted to draw
Choice of tools to use my favorite are markers
Colored markers, orange-blue-red-green yellow
Each one that I pick up not writing
I'm all caught up want to draw a picture
But each marker I pick up using
All dried up 
So I fuss
The sun is

Time Markers

When I receive old magazines the first thing I seek as I flip through the pages, I find
Are the advertisements that bring to my mind the brands, fads, and trends that found favor in bygone times.

But now their days of popular appeal are but a memory of a former age

Days where it was hep to

Markers

Life   divided  -  days  , weeks, months,  years  
Mere  markers  in   our   march  of  life  
Our   fervent  hopes  and   dreams   and   fears  
Life   divided  -

Mile Markers

you can see the mountains
smell the fresh breeze
of the wind that blows
through the mesquite
things that once stood in your way
are mile markers from another day

you trade one metropolis for another
getting closer to your dream
those back home think you're a fool
they don't fit into the scheme of things

you put on your boots and cowboy hat
throw your

Wooden Markers

"There was an old cemetery 
in that fence row.
Thirty some graves I've heard;
no record of it at the court house."

The neighbor pointed past 
the corn rows, 
Round Up sterile,
to posts askew 
like aged teeth;
broken wire pulled down by sod,
prickly with random barbs 
and wild roses.

          No

Big Question Markers

around the circumference of the earth's mid
are huge temples , pyre , fire , mid , middle
pyramids of ancient stone builders
all near and about 72 degrees in seperation
with exception to two missing
one in the pacific , one in the atlantic
when you put all 5 points at 72 degree's
you'll find an amazing figure , a pentagram
