Short Thank Your Lucky Stars Poems

Yoo--Hoo, ain't your time to play Pick-That-Guy,
You knew, thank your lucky stars, my oh, my,
No request, not even ask,
Careless, though just curious,
Masked male couple picked well, was mine, he's Thai....

The sun doth shineth, the world is in rhyme
Our brains are still cooking, both yours and mine
Should thank our lucky stars
Still time to find out who we are
And what we're doing in this place we're enshrined...

Despite the fact that children
Keep increasing as to size,
If Ted Cruz had been elected
Every school’d be serving fries.

For while blasting Ms. Obama,
With her push for “leafy greens,”
Ted announced, that as first lady,
Heidi’d shake up those routines.

If obesity’s a problem
(And most experts say it is)
We should thank our lucky stars
That school lunch menus won’t be his....

Sometimes things go smoothly 
But your nervousness won’t stop,
‘Cause you wonder if (or likely when)
The other shoe will drop.

Still, it’s worth enjoying
Times when plans work out just right.
Try releasing all the tension;
Thank your lucky stars at night.

There’ll be many times a’coming
When this fortune won’t repeat,
So relax and spread some smiles,
For such days are rare and sweet....

A country boy
from the Yorkshire Dales
overnight an one hit wonder
when appearing on television in the uk's
top pop show.
'Thank your lucky stars'
This country bumpkin
in the big city
five star hotel, limousine, the works
along with an accent to boot
and a new one to learn
from the usa,
'Freddy Cannon' from the deep south
the top act, along with england's finest.
And i was only 19.

Hear a siren passing by
And thank your lucky stars
Someone else’s problem
Will not cause you any scars.

For every passing ambulance
Has someone in the back – 
A hit and run or overdose
Or, likely, heart attack.

You see the flashing lights go by
And hear that plaintive drone,
So fortunate that you’re not there
To hear somebody moan.

Yet every minute, every day,
Emergencies occur;
But if that siren’s not for us,
That’s what we’d most prefer....

Shallow is the pond,
where willow fronds bend down
to soothe my furrowed brow.
Let's sit along the bank,
and thank our lucky stars.

For we have found a place,
a space to call our own.
Let us cool our toes and all our cares
embrace the day and think.

Our woes we'll leave behind,
and lean against the trees,
to drink the summer's breeze,
and find a peace of mind.

Until there was you,
I walked the earth alone,
No hand to hold in mine,
My heart was all my own.

Until there was you,
True love was just a dream,
Dreams of wonder and tears,
Dreams of hope and fears.

Until there was you,
My life had no direction,
A road of uncertainty,
But now we have a journey,
Together you and me.

So I thank my lucky stars,
And God from the heavens above,
For my heart and soul could never,
Feel the impact of true love,
Until there was you......

I write about what people feel
Who have no words to say
I tell the story in simple words
To help them understand
What is the point of writing 
If no one understands
The thoughts that come
Straight from the heart 
To calm the soul of  man

These words I put in simple form
Are not to boast or brag
But shine a light on a darkened day
Renewing the hope you have
I thank my lucky stars above
For the gift of words and rhyme
Truly this is the easier way
Even I can understand...

Relentless raindrops ricochet 
And race in rivulets,
Creating perfect puddles
Boots will trounce with no regrets.

It's rare that such intensity
Will keep up at this pace,
Reminding us that Nature
Likes to put us in our place.

So bring it on and let it pour -
The windshield wipers work 
And with umbrellas there's no need
From planned events to shirk.

The rain, relentless though it seems,
Eventually will slow
And we can thank our lucky stars -
At least it isn't snow!...

( UNTIL THERE WAS YOU )

Until there was you
I walked the earth alone
No hand to hold in mine
My heart was all my own

Until there was you
True love was just a dream
Dreams of wonder and tears
Dreams of hope and fears

Until there was you
My life had no direction
A road of uncertainty
But now we have a journey
Together you and me

So I thank my lucky stars
And God from the heavens above
For my heart and soul could never
Feel the impact of true love
Until there was you......
