Heroes don’t always wear a cape 
I was rescued during a hasty escape 
Trouble brewed and I knew everything 
Until coming face-to-face with perishing 
A brave soul enabled my life to take shape

Turning point
embraced by sadness
 tears roll down unnoticed
decisions made
 engulfed by fear
internal pain
 dying slowly
ongoing agony
 hearts broken
lives ruined
 smile despite the pain
life goes on
 tomorrow is another day......

Gods word is reliable,

 this is truly undeniable.

 He's committed to you.

 Never lies pulling you

 through. What he started

 in the spark of Christ, the

 Lord God follows through.

 This new journey is your

 turning point...

this is the day
the culmination 
of the waiting
the anticipation
the excitement
the hope
the dream
the drama
and in a wink
it’s over
a turning point
behind us

what now

hope

Now
Is a
Turning point
History made
The truth will prevail
Facts will come to surface
Ripples on water will spread
Shimmering in the light of day
To create a beautiful image
To see standing together, shore to shore

There was a time where
I had no shoulder to cry 
on I was at a point of no

the blue to save me funny
how it all plays out I was
suppose to know lonely 
the lesson was learned
the hard way but you 
set me free...

view turning point 
as an opportunity 
to reevaluate 
ones chooses 
that had lead 
to this point 
than chose to 
step of the path 
once taken onto 
the past not taken 
in order to change 
the trajectory of 
your life for the betterment
of the future you...

I don’t remember the loneliness
taking refuge inside me
and becoming 
part of my story.

I don’t remember the season
or the way the sun
lit the earth then.

But there was a man
in a car full of dogs.
He said there were
people somewhere
with free flowers....

March for Our Lives Parade Poem 2

Instead of stopping  and then adjourning,
Should start learning how to be yearning,
Look forward,
Being with Lord,
And seek point you can use as a turning.

Turning point will put people on right
track regarding gun control.

Since we met I knew you were the one for me.  
A treasure that I was to discover when I had given hope and there was no sign of return.  
You came into my life when I needed you the most.  
Meeting you was the turning point of my life.
Please be the key and remain by my side.

These chalky bones
A brittle breath
and all in life that is complex
A turning point 
of monument
When ideas burn their thoughts to death
A settled sight
A twitching limb
A hand which looks so frail and thin
My mother's face
has been replaced
By sickness with no consequence....

hunger
discontent
           emptiness,
a frantic
           surge
of fatigue..
          defeat...

a turning point,
an impulse
claws
        for space,
advocates 
sweeping changes,
retrieves
         lost grace
renews
            desire,
brings
          perspective...

change the narrative 
view the turning point 
as an opportunity to
create the space for 
positivity to grow
out of the negativity 
of the past 
start to change 
little by little 
baby step by 
baby step
until one day 
before you 
even realize it 
you have changed 
your life´s narrative...

If heart you chase is heart of stone 
Better for you to be alone
Don't play a game that you can't win 
Think twice before you make your spin 

Refrain from chasing a shadow 
Turn back from hearts as cold as now 
For, your not born to be martyr 
You're not meant to catch someone's spear

There comes that certain turning point
     we know our end of road is near.
But at that end, there is a bridge,
     we cross to Heaven without fear.

I have traveled to and fro
To know that there is no place
Like home Sweet home
Charity begins at home because
You're a strange native to other
Natives home Sweet home
Home is an asset so a man
Without a good home is a
Grown stranger to his people
Your home is your origin
Your birthplace is a turning point
Home Sweet home...

I find myself at times in my life,
at a turning point- which way do I go?
and I always returned to the foothills 
Searching for an inkling of a feeling of home
Long after the farm had been foreclosed on
Sad, as I watch the cattle now in the pasture- 
where my Dad and granpas markers and ashes lay
~ashes to ashes dust to dust~...

Today is my turning point 
I know what needs to be 
done put it down and step
away I must learn how to
cope with emotion unstead 
of drowning it away time to
face those demons with a 
sober mind I've ran away 
from them for way to long 
I'm killing myself slowly no
longer today I'm putting the 
bottle away for good and never
looking back...

in ones life time
dreams and reality 
or just a passing
until you grab a hold 
of life

some of the beautiful things
happen when a person
has took all he can take

suddenly that fear
of failure 
becomes a 
flying success 
ride out your heart 
until 

all hate is gone 
until all vague 
insanity problems 
flare. live wild 
and love while you live...

we wish would appear
better angels who are here
overcome all fear

what we would deduct
orchestra Lincoln did conduct
great final product

make sure self esteem
did not appear in your dream
be part of our team

interested in
trouble caused and where had been
Jackson of all men

with love God would anoint
we had reached a turning point
moment by moment...

A slip to wish
A solemn note
A secret code
A robin's egg
A final word
A slice of sky
A turning point
A breath to beg
A day to grow
A falling tree
A photograph
of you and me
A silver streak
A floating laugh
A broken vow
on my behalf
A tourniquet
A purple moon
A glassy eye
A week in June
A passing thought
A last good bye
A slip to wish
A final sigh....

I'd rather have piteous hands
Than blood stained ones
It may be a dismal conception
But through that threshold stands
No turning point in either direction.

The piteous are often the poor
While blood stained will throttle for more.
It's a dismal world upon reflection
So heaven's conception was to soften the poor
But man set the bar for that thresholds redemption....
