Yogi Bear to me is as close as family
Out in the backroads of my youth
Grew with me through the years
I’ll always have that soft spot in my heart
AP: Honorable Mention 2025
L ooked to help this brand-new poet**
I nterested in his every write
N ever too busy to comment
E ncouraged him by day and by night...
G rew a veritable garden of friends
A s she expanded her own horizons
U plifting are the poems she's penned...
T oday, this wonderful woman and wife's
H usband is battling for his very life
I t's incumbent upon us now to
E ncourage, to support this classy lady:
R each out with your love; it's the least we can do
** and so many others
where were you,
when i needed you the most?
you werent there to hold me close..
you would hold me tight..
because you know i hate when we fight..
each tear that falls upon my face,
has its own pace..
these drops that come from my eyes,
are because f you..
they are as cold as ice..
each one has a cost,
because without you i was lost..
i felt so blue, because i thought we were true..
i dont believe that we cant get along,
thats just wrong..
i have made my mistakes in the past.
but let not those memories last.
i know that i can change
but these feelings i have are strange..
from sighing to crying,
grieving to pleading.
hear my loud bells ring..
i lead the way, you helped me sway.
i showed you the path,
just to end up with a crash
you say that my love is a joke,
even after we have spoke..
but i promise you....this day you will rew..
because later on you will figure out that this was true..
