Charles Bateman Poem
I will never judge you with hatred or disdain
I will never cause you strife that you may in
peace remain.
God forbid anyone insult you or clip your
angel wings, I will stand in awe of you and
the wonder that you bring. I will knock down
all the walls that have made you poor, I will
help you take the leap and watch your spirit
soar. For you I wrote this insignificant poem
to tell you of your worth. You shall have your
portion and your cup, you shall be my friend
secure.

Charles Bateman Poem
Mother don’t cry for me
I done chose the life I lead.
Lined with trouble, doubts and
pain. Marked for death with
life’s cold stain. They caught
me driven down highway one,
Thrown in jail, my freedom
done. I killed a man to watch
him die, I couldn’t tell the
sheriff why. I did my time and
paid my debts, I smelled like
booze and cigarettes. I could
never quench the hate, not
much food upon my plate. My
conscience was muddled with
guilt and shame, clothed in
sorrow, bathed in blame. If I
added up the cost, it wasn’t
worth the time I lost. I was void
of love and pride, I could not
fill the hole inside. If you see me
coming you best step away, I
might take your life to start my
day. Under the sign of which I was
born, stuck in my side like a
jagged thorn. As I come to my
end, my journey through I’ve
nothing more to say to you.

Charles Bateman Poem
You are so precious and you need to know
how much I love you from your head to your toe.
You are hard on yourself please give it a break,
that’s a lot of abuse for one girl to take. Your
soul alone has more value than gold, treat it with
love as you live to grow old. I see your heart and the
grace that you keep, your tears come at night
and your sorrow runs deep. You are a friend to the one left to die, you give your time and you never ask why.
These are the traits that I see in you, there are
more things to say but I think these will do.

Charles Bateman Poem
The morning brings a moment
frozen in time. Your heart is still within thee.
I can count a dozen one less or one more
of angels that protect and surround me.
Given the time to ponder and weigh the atoms
that bind me together. I’m left to wonder the
Marvels escape and I’m in for cold stormy
weather. As for the questions that bereave and
lament, seldom do answers come calling. My
situation has me high on the fence, in a
moment I’m hopelessly falling. Gone are the days
we smiled to trick people into thinking we’re
winning. I’ve got a mind and the matter is
thick, as for good times they’re now just
beginning.

Charles Bateman Poem
Love is patient, love is kind,
love will never leave a good
man behind. Love is in the heart,
love knows your pain, love is the
peace that a man can’t explain.
Love is our strength on the days we
feel weak, love is our voice when
we’re too sad to speak. Love is our
way when we’re lost in the night,
Love is our lamp when we need
some light. Love is our friend when
we’re feeling alone, love softens the
heart that was once hard as stone.
These are my thoughts on the topic of
love, every good thing is from God
up above.
