fearlessly daring and heartfully caring, a support role model

My Hilarious Role Model

I met a stranger.
When I was born to this world
She thought me various things
And kept me clean and happy
As ever she could.
But I never knew who it was.

Days months years past by
And when I was a kid 
I still met her.
I remember she was inquiring 
Some fabulous questions. 
One would be;
‘’Who drives the plane’’
And I

Before

All those movie characters
Crying in the shower
Definitely staged
But guess not
Short fits of panic
Fizzing in the steam
My lifelike dreams
Scare me
Waking up
Between dreams
To realize
You were never there to begin with
Never there for me,
When I needed you most
Yet the warmth, the smell
Felt so
Seemed so real
It’s a shame
Your words were somewhat of comfort
And there were bejeweled moments
That I treasured
But

Role Model

Typical season 
Pitfalls no reason
 I'm covered in Soul 
My arose my emotion still in flow 
Now knowing where I show
I know my truest self
Holden, holder, to my middle breath
Model role, role model

These Children Need a Role Model

These children need a male role model, the teacher said.
But, I argued. He would have to be sane, right in the head.
She rolled her eyes, believing that all males are well-bred.
Which tells me that her global knowledge is all but dead.

What about that dude? I ask as he climbs off a mo-ped.
He doesn’t look like

Role Model

She looks up to me I'm her role model
I birth her after nine months
Yet caught up on a world
Of deception
I shelter her
To keep her safe
Yet I feel like giving her wings to fly
She looks up to me as a role model
Will one day she sit in front of billions
Of people
Only the God I serve up

We Accidentally Role Model Daily

Mommy made the living and did all the housework.
Daddy was a thinker, a writer, a dreamer.
Mommy worked jobs for over sixty years.
Daddy was an idealist, an intellect, a planner.
He stayed in the house, writing his novels.

Children understood the message. 
Daughter has a sturdy marriage, she and her husband both work.
She has decided if he quits

Imperfect Role Model

I grew up in foster care without a role model in my life so I had to look elsewhere 
I had no idea that a strangers words could help me feel strong when I'm scared 
Sometimes we worship celebrities like they're perfect and do no wrong
I'm thankful that from the start, you talked about your

Potty Mouth

He can curse up a storm
make a sailor blush
Foul blue language
spewed out in a gush
Could strip paint clean
off a battleship 
Exponentially worse if
you give him any lip
Rambling in sincerity's guise
but his worst 4-letter words
are all his LIES

A Poem For Gary Cooper

What a handsome actor you are,
You have very beautiful eyes.

Your  slim good-looking stature,
The many roles you caressed with excellence.

The leading women that were blessed to act with you,
I wished to be an actress at one time.

Happily married with children,
How nice to see you act on screen.

And to become one of the great performers of

A Role Model For the Ages

Hillary, dear Hillary—where do we begin?
In your tale of deceit and corrupt political spin.
First lady, poor victim—
‘Vast Right Wing’ to blame,
A Chicago born, carpet bagging, New Yorker—how lame.
For over four decades, you ruthlessly fought,
Every virtuous ideal the forefathers sought.
With convictions as sound—as a lifeboat that sinks,
You’re a Chameleon, Hyena, a slithering snake,
  who for

Not With These Losers

When she does not get her way she throws a fit.
That is what I do! Her mother told us.
In a delighted way, proud.
 
She does not get along well with her classmates.
They are a bunch of losers! Her mother said.
Glowering at us, fists clenched.
The teacher and I looked at each other.
 
I think she would

Her Kiss Is Paradise: Henshaw Kate

Now and again my heart tried to freeze 
Until I behold the feet of the very best! 
At the shoulder of the evening breeze 
I quietly sort my wearied head to rest 
As the nightingale which sings for speech 
Swaggers home not to roost 
But to stay between my upper arm's reach 
Lending it's sonorous
