Reminded Myself
I reminded myself in an unusual way,
While standing in a rain of a watery display,
Soaking in my new town's local splash park,
Remembering how I needn't be in the dark.
I let the risen structuredly flowing fountain
Grant me a liquified sense of liberation
As I basked beneath a cloudy sunlit sky,
Promising myself to never again deeply cry.
I reminded

All To Be Reminded
“Do me well,
Do me no harm.
Do me well,
Treat me like no stranger.
Do me good,
Don't make me sad.
Do me well,
Forget me not.”
I painted worth gold to be stolen,
I gather the thieves to my mind.
Desperate enough just to be reminded,
For what I have found I cannot find.
It was an orange marmalade,
A tea for a throat, to

Reminded
Every 20 February, I am reminded
Unwanted
Rejected
Unloved
Every 20 February, the dagger twists
Impossible to love
Difficult child
A duty not a joy
Every 20 February, I am reminded
Living mistake
Born a stranger
Resented existence
Every 20 February, the dagger twists
Never good enough
Not deserving
Never worthy
Every 1 September, I am reminded
I am love
I am strength
I am enough

Be Reminded - Right In the Middle of Dreariness
Weariness can settle into our lives
But praise be to God the Father who
Can show up right in the middle of dreariness
The Awaker is the Maker of Heaven and Earth
With Him all things are possible
He is the ‘Now’ God
We Bow to His Name right in the middle of dreariness
God shows up
To help, enlighten, solidify and support

Recently
I’ve recently been reading a book that reminded me of how little I am in this humongous world
It reminded me of how many boys with the same pigment as me, it reminded me of how many girls
Grow up in disgruntled homes yet advise their children to be better than thee
They despise the pain

The Nature Reminded Me
I pass by the nature everday,
To see it's beauty in every way.
The sound of the shiny streams that pass through every night,
Reminded me of your light which was blinding bright.
In the garden full of roses covered in dew,
Mine was covered in thorns a few.
I keep wondering about your sweetness towards me,
Which

He Reminded Her of Her Dad
They started out as acquaintances at work
There was a tiny inkling that she had
She was a waitress, he was the soda jerk
He kind of reminded her of her Dad.
There was a tiny inkling that she had
He was exactly what a mate should be
He kind of reminded her of her Dad.
His arms were strong, his loving….free.

"He fills my life with good things." Psalms 103: 5a
When reading this line from Psalms 103 today
My heart is filled with a poignant truth
In so many ways I have neglected to praise
God while in my youth
Once again, I am reminded
Of times throughout my years
I have put God on a shelf
The results were unnecessary tears

Reminded and Heavily Humbled
rice and gravy perfectly made
for some reason, the liver goes well with it
i would rather have some neckbones
however, somebody out there and hungry would love to take my place right now
buttermilk biscuits almost puts me to sleep
the honey butter is a pleasant surprise
the shells and cheese with bacon bits, to me, balances it out rather

I Am Reminded of My Mother's Advice
i am reminded of my mother's advice
find a woman with God dearest in her heart
be grateful if she comes to love you
sit at His feet therein and blessings be yours
i am again lost in photos of you
when life held you in precious moments
those perennials you so loved
each as knight errant before your roses
lost in hues

Forsaken
In the depths of depravity we find ourselves shackled by our own misinformation and uncertainties.
Left with a reminder of times of old and good yet decaying and tarnished.
Thoughts of love, of hate coupled like some twisted nightmare waiting for the morning wake.
Reflected only as a constant mnemonic apparition of what was and will

He Reminded Her of Possibilities
She saw dandelion guy on his usual corner.
He is there every year during Octoberfest.
Laughing and joking with people.
She usually stayed away from him.
He seemed too happy to be real.
This year she felt differently about him.
She approached him for the first time.
He had the kindest brown eyes up close.
She could not help but think of

Poem I Prepared Reminded Me of Ogden Nash
Poem I Prepared Reminded Me of Ogden Nash
Rhinoceros may be related to hippopotamus;
Synonymous and anonymous in a metropolis;
Both together do live;
Each other bath give;
Thought appeared to be purely preposterous.
Have you been laughing yet,
Read my poem with regret;
Live in rafter,
Or hereafter;
A moron like me have met.
What you did do was dubious
Matter becoming mischievous;
Handle with care;
Even

I'M Reminded
I'm Reminded
By: Tom Wright
9/30/98
Toward lightening bolts,
I cast a weary eye.
Hearing Heaven rumble
as they jump, flash,
fork, and race,
across the sky.
In wonderment,
this thought comes to mind.
A symbol of God's
greatness to Mankind?
Or perhaps His way of letting
Heavenly forces just unwind.
Destruction caused on earth
scarcely compares
to that time held in store.
When those without rebirth,
shall wail and gnash their teeth,
facing much

I Was Just Reminded
I Was Just Reminded
By Franklin Price
6/4/2015
I was just reminded
Of graduation long ago
It happened on this evening
Many seeds we had to sow
One and fifty years have gone
Doesn't seem that they have passed
Since we stood there in our caps and gowns
My the time has gone fast
Classmates left and went their ways
Opened up new books of life
Some
