Have you ever had moonlight kiss the star;
As you hover over a toddler have you ever told them how tall you are;
Seldom mentioned never told;
Have you ever looked upon a woman and have a crush;
Never dreaming or endeavoring wanted lust;
Seldom mentioned never told
Your next door neighbor you don't know his or her name
You have no interest to ask nor to obtain
You're ashamed of your sins you've committed from birth until now
Your excuses to rebuke churches you choose to refuse those self improving choices
The Bible you feel is it prevalent nor real
Church people so unkind they don't come with you with open arms
They degrade you and down you by their denominations they undefined you
You convey your sinner saved by grace
And you don't have to sustain to their faith
Foraging it is useless if it doesn't have God in it
Oh how convenient you condemn me
He threatened me and yet Jesus has saved me...
In remission this is, seldom mentioned never told
You are saved by profession that Jesus Christ is Lord?

Mentioned
Four years ago I had the feel
To write a poem with eagerness and zeal
Of a time I felt that special urge
To choose each word I felt my passion surge
The contest was set for me to converge
With winners intact not to be diverged
Honorable mention was my big score
Entered again with the same theme in mind
Received first place with a slight change in kind
When I sought new words my talent improved
I know what to do when I get an H.M.
My pen transforms into a diadem
all placements are good no matter how old
Second themes written can turn into gold

the kettlleir awakes Lyrics
while the Horns are Frenched
and Trumpeted.
The Snares are rolling the Intro's
then Lyrics are ushered in.
While Chellos and Viola's
compliment the Oboist thing.
Cantar uses Lyrics
and Cantrix listens while
he sings!
No one told her she was adopted, but she knew.
It was a well-kept secret. No one had mentioned it.
She met her birth mother once accidentally on the street.
An inner voice said ‘there she is’; it is her.
Their eyes met.
Same hazel circles, same hair, same face.
Her birth mother looked older, worn out.
Their souls were forever connected.
She knew and her mother knew, but neither spoke, or stopped.
They passed each other in a civil way, pretending they did not know.
But they did.
The secret was kept for a long time.
Until her death.
She did not meet her birth mother again until she reached heaven.
Sixty-seven years later.
When her birth mother and her adopted mother came together to greet her.
Moron Trump Mentioned
What moron Trump mentioned was a bunch of bull
And over on us again fast one tried to pull
A bunch of idiots is what he always thought
We were and in a Trump trap we were caught.
While Hillary's speech had seemed so splendid
We wish that Trump's whole campaign ended
After more of his malarkey we all listened to
Is strangest, weirdest person we ever knew.
Never near White House will Trump ever be
We said this with happiness and much glee
Hillary will be there who is a real beaut
While wearing one of her fancy pants suits.

This is my 2626th poem I have written and
I was born on 26 June 1941 and will have
been married for 50 years on August 27th.
Wow.
