Your golden heart,
sets others apart.
Your gentle way,
shall never stray.
From the other side,
our worlds collide.
Your nature divine,
which is hard to find.
For your tender age,
you are quite the sage....

Fourteen a tender age,
Teenage angst the rage,
And parents are so stupid
Yet fourteen more years go by
And oh, my, my!
How much it seems they've learned
Our diary jokes of old,
You can truely be told,
Now we wished we'd burned....

In the tender age of “little girl” 
she became an adult, a little mama.
Never one to whine, 
not prone to drama,
She was the older sister. 
She gave the wheel a whirl. 

For my oldest daughter --
she knows what it is about.

Today's the day of your birth
The day your presence graced the earth
The day your smile blessed the world
But don't you ever let that light go out.

I wish you to blossom day by day
And not a thing to block your way
I hope your every dream comes true
Eighteen is such a tender age...

Dark arts were her stage
 From a tender age
 She could conjure up a beast
 From out of thin air
 Cross her if you dare
  And upon your bones she'll feast

 She steals from the grave 
 For bones she does crave
 She is someone you should dread 
 She rides through the night 
 Such a ghostly sight
  With the pale moon overhead

So cute so cute like a teddy wool
Curly hair soft tender age but you are not fool
You are the earth precious gem while
Because you adore always with smile

Playing with teddy in a grassy land elbow
You look colorful in the rainbow 
Everyone glean goes in childhood
You beauty is like an angel not factitious
And you are in everyone’s eye precious

As a child, you are the only man I wanted.
The father I never knew.
The thought.  
It aches  to lose you at such a tender age.
The unknowning.
It hurts so much not to understand.
Why ? Is the question , I am asking.
Why was you taken from me ?
Why was you the one fated to die, on that day ?
I guess death will always remain the mystery of life.
To mer mortals anyway....

A hearty bowl of chicken soup
  was set before the lad
at a delicate, tender age
  by his doting mom and dad

Into the thick broth
  the lad plunged his spoon
Hot steam rose up
  raced through the room

The lad inhaled
  his face turned bright
The soup was warmer
  than the light

Which filled the room
  as the lad he ate
the hearty broth
  that love creates...

Women in my family 
Born and raised in patriarchy
Sentenced to bitterness 
Speaking less to apologies. 

Women in my family 
Silenced from a tender age
Loud in ignorance 
No one is up for the change. 

Women in my family 
I wish they could see
Homophobia is a disease
They should quit judging me.

My dear Donald Trump 
  At your tender age 
you shouldn't be bumped
  into early retirement, and so
I want you in my new Cabinet, although

to your unique talents the position must fit...
  Therefore, after mulling things over a bit
There's an idea that makes perfect sense
  A new, complementary position to old 'Defense'  

~I hereby appoint you my 'Secretary of Offense'...

The tender age I once knew, 
Yet so far in my memory,
It still holds true.
Like a child wanting to explore,
What really goes on behind love's door.
The tenderness, oh how fast it fades,
For you see, you have only moments to waste.
Soon you find yourself lonely and bored,
Hiding behind love's door.
Wanting to know, but afraid to explore,
When you hear a knock at your door....

The wind rage furious
Howling and blowing madly
Tree swayed clinging tight

Her leaves flew away
Carried by the mighty wind
Plucked off untimely

How ruthless the wind
Taking away her green leaves
At their tender age

Now that storm has passed
The sun is shining brightly
A new hope is born

The lone tree stand tall
Bare and naked stripped of leaves
Basking in the sun...

It was a lingering goodbye 
for anchor moon
after a religious embrace.
I bid farewell 
in the chilling night
for a song of separation.

Where the beginning ends
into a house of distillation.
Blasphemy, where did you find
the anatomy of truth ? Mortality
demands a long 
journey of tender age in prayers of sprouts. 

The eloquence of dictionary 
expects the price of hoofs 
to stay with otherness.

It haunts me to think

that you would die for your ideals

at such a tender age

thinking you are

intellectually superior

and in many ways you were,

but Sophie,

it is such a waste to die so young

for what?


Your offspring could have

carried the flame

continued 'the white rose'

in all its purity and

ideological splendor

but you are right, off course,

even in death and thereafter

Mitt Gott kannst Du alles....

My five words are: Pain, Enough, Nine, Remember, Beautiful

I remember my past,
Bits and pieces floating through my mind.
I remember the pain,
Of being alone,
I remember the pain,
The beautiful, heart wrenching pain 
Of a broken heart,
At the tender age of nine,
I lost what I believed was mine. 
I guess I just wasn’t wise enough,
To see past your toxic lies.

An old-fashioned modern Jew
  He was brilliant, unique
Weaving the strands of tradition
  Into best-selling novels sleek 

A Navy man, aboard a WW2 mine-sweep
  Mr. Wouk loved letters, his country, and
Talmudic wisdom, from which his works drew deep


   
 Herman Wouk, the prolific novelist and
 lifelong student of the Talmud, has 
 passed on to his Maker today, at the
 tender age of 103.  May he rest in peace......

 At such a tender age
my feelings, i refused to gauge
the controversial love mirage
of a little sage.

From Genesis to nemesis she remained queen
in my heart which all love with keen
while seeking to be next of kin.

Her price i paid
through patience and pain
insult and hate-rain,
but her heart, i won with style.

Chrissie is that gal i love so.
her haters calls her sow,
my life, my soul....

Ye old man can never show
What it’s like to let things go 

For he of tender age will say
“I need all that, I want today”

Then take it now and never return 
I’ll pray for you one day you’ll learn 

But this is not the way it went 
We have never earned what we have spent 

Still, we want what we cannot 
The further we reach, we take the lot

Has all of this been just for greed?
That egregious monster we all now feed....

I cling to thy soft source of 
strength,
touching her tender tip: a terrific 
tap,
I held unto its her helm for 
health,
while sleeping... I get a soothing 
sap. 

A mother's milk so mild,
in tender age... a sweet succor,
for every charming & cheerful 
child
to grow without sickness' sore.

Crying kids crave this cute cup
filled with soothing sweetness,
Smiling kids have got a top up...
a fill of a mother's cool kindness....

At this tender age I can see a picture perfect future
That shines like diamonds I only see in picture
I can visualize that path to stardom
But I fear I might leave my own home

A thousand mile is really far away
But I’ll pursue my dream anyway
Nothing and nobody could stop me
Cause I am now what I want to be.

A thousand bucks is a lot of cash
Don’t you think I deserve a sash?
I think I gotta give up crochet
For it’s time to make my very own cachet....

She smiles with flower laden  hair
While he tells her that shes marvelous, fair
In her eyes, such surprise
Yes its there

Such a tender age of seventeen
The things that she has not yet seen
Put aside, It will hide
Shes just a teen

He takes her hand, pulls her near
she cant tell if its love or fear
A gift forsaken, innocence taken
She sheds a tear

A sneeky trick he does condone
To leave her there all alone
A girl deflowered, a boy empowered
A baby on her own...

spicy you tell me
when A B C to be learned
French I was born in Africa
doing my best to please
a world with no understanding of empty bellies 
as we pelted stones on mules giving us their last ride to explode for the worms to come in
I learned spanish with the help of a bed shared at tender age of teenage
spicy spicy too easy on your soul 
mine to destroy your phantom dreams of flavor as you have to learn to read between the lines of suffering and your alms changing nothing....

Fifty years ago today, on this National Holiday,
I was busy laboring away..
At the tender age of twenty-two God blessed
me with a son, Matthew..
Heaven opened up above and brought a baby boy to love..
All mothers know that special bond, the first birth, that number one..
I watched him grow from boy to man and gradually released my hand..
The years have passed much too swiftly.
My boy to man is now age fifty!!
My only son, my greatest blessing. A mother's pride is worth professing.....
