Short Reserving Poems

A badly crazed, disgustingly earnest feline
grossly, haughtily, ignorantly judges kangaroos,
losing many niggling oppressed pumas
quietly reserving skunks to understand
very wayward x-rays, you Zebras....

The Sacrificial Lamb
On the cross
Shedding His Blood
So our souls would not be lost

What greater love could there ever be
Who could love us as much as He
Giving His life for an entire nation
One selfless act to save all of creation 

Reserving us a space
In our heavenly Holy Father's place
Our final home to come
In His Wonderful Kingdom...

My daughters have captured what used to be a wild heart
My wife had tamed it and made it see the very truth
Reserving it a new strength as if then owned by youth
Taking it from a cold life and creating a brand new start

My eyes have since opened to the world even wider
I have been taught to see the light of each new day
Because of love given freely that’s always on display
I learned to embrace the women in my life even tighter...

Don't go away sad
What could I do in a moment?
For my reserves are low
And away from here tears will stream
I know it's not enough to put you on your feet
Beyond that it will be the death of me 
Wrapped in guilt
Have no means to be understood 
Don't fixate on me
You didn't earn my last ounce of strength
But I don't wish for you to know that
I don't wish for you to know
Tell me what I can do in this moment
For I can't do more...

lon lines
and crowded spaces
are are a good thing.
people needing direction
and people not knowing where
they should be.
understanding that coming
 early and having time to look around
and find a nice place to eat and talk.
calling early reserving
 items that may be in demand
having the right amount of money to
get exactly what you were looking for.
Enjoying the show and knowing what to chant
routing for the right guy
and understanding what's going on....

Held in a moment
Focus in, think...
Where does my mind go
Instead
I feel it now, reserving judgement
Whilst the opposite is true
There's a bypass of thought to feel
Tension finds it's way to shoulders
From unacknowledged fears
Because "I'm fine" 
Just like 
Everyone who says that
And it's true
But for thoughts
And feelings
That trip up
Fine days
I'm so sorry
I'll say
I've no idea what that was about
Not quite as true
There's a inkling 
Not quite penned...

I'v had so many teachers from whom 
i'm blessed
I cannot say a human is my best
But one i really must showcase
My teacher makes me feel like i'm 
reserving my best
Encourages me to pull out that part i 
hide deep down
Unknown to most he can be a clown
Although he seems very much like a 
stern headmaster
With his trousers held up on his belly
And his outrageously big glasses
I dread the day we'll part 
For this teacher there will always be a 
place in my heart....
