it carries apples in her bag
a cane around the waist
To get her apples she canes
unwelcome, she canes
in the end smiles erupt

Take Back Your Heart

Too many years
 too many hard times
 too many mistakes to forgive
 too many memories resurface
when you look for a new love
you're welcome
 to take back your heart.

The Rose

Darling,
She said,
Look away.
Why,
I say.
Never looking back,
Is what I say today.
Take this single rose,
She told me,
It will comfort you in the hard times to come.

My secret to life

live today not tomorrow
keep going through the hard times 
for, it will be over soon. 

This is key to living a happy
successful life, 
and I cannot wait to put it to the test

     His hands, weather-beaten, stained

        when his pocket lacked a single dime

Hard Times

She has hard times
Her face is a darkened sky
She wants others to know
The pain she experiences inside
The doors of evil
Are opened wide
To take her heart
To the other side
She no longer has hard times

Premium Member The Best of Times

I've seen hard times, slow times, giddy-up and go times

Times when down seemed up and up seemed down 

I've seen good times, bad times, think that I've gone mad times

But the best times were anytime you were around

Ask a Question

To him who ask true, the world is given to.
We all fall on hard times. 
Least we ask amidst, we get not what we ask for. 
With kind hear and true spirit the best of man shines true. 
I ask true and wait for the best to come.

Am Proud of Who I Am

When I look back on my life,
I can see the pain I have endured,
the mistakes I have made and
the hard times I have suffered.

When I look in the mirror I see how
strong I’ve become, the lessons I’ve
learned and I’m proud of who I am.

Premium Member Fallen On Hard Times

Meghan Markle's 
  lost her sparkle
While Prince Harry
  seems more wary

Old Prince Charles'
  star has faded
And Princess Anne
  looks quite jaded

The Royal Family
  no more a fascination
Corona virus ~
  our new pre-occupation

Take Note

O the old poetry!
When hard times meant something
and uncertainty was eternal.
Words of wonder from a stirring spirit,
now gospel to yesteryear's testament.
The rain wet pine once burst forth with
the morning dew.
Alas! My memory is always new.

Premium Member -The Unexpected

Life is full of the unexpected

Both welcomed and not

Never knowing what each day will bring

From life’s mystery pot


So fasten your seatbelt

Enjoy the ride ahead

Try not to dwell on the hard times

Savour all the good times instead

The Blues Is Love and Hard Times

its sad and bad news
its a soulful tool
you can't learn in school
its call paying dues
if play music or sing
its the right thing
for you to bring
cause it is gold
will come out in your soul
its soul and hardship combind
THE BLUES IS LOVE AND
HARD TIMES

Beers

Friends of mine in hard times

Calls me for a snap!

Reminds me of my old buddies

In a crowded cafe on the Alpines

Should be not consumed

I know very well

But my urge to forgets her
 
Compelles me

Please like and share

Everytime

Everytime
We get close
Everytime I feel I could love you
You pull away
I can feel it coming to an end
I can't go thro this again
We have to try to pull thro this
Everybody has hard times
We can get thro it
Everytime I care
You seem not to
Everytime

Premium Member Love Is a Powerful Creature

Let's put our love to the test
     Love is the true teacher
Hard times will never us protest
Let's put our love to the test
As we journey on our true quest
     For love is a powerful creature
Let's put our love to the test
     Love is the true teacher

Keeping It Real My Bear

Keeping it real is hard too do
But my bear I do love you
You are my world 
You keep me straight 
When you hurt me 
I begin to hate 

That is not me for I am pure 
Listen sweetheart I'm the cure
I know you have had hard times
But I'm here as you are mine
