Pools of Water
As I
stepped into
opaque pools
of water
a soft hand
beckoned me
come and
enjoy the
flow
as gentle warm
waters
splashed around
my ankles
I was stirred by
their energies
captivated by
their movement

Rose Garden
I watched you in your
garden,
Roses growing every-
where.
Flowers were so lovely,
Perfume filled the air.
Touching them so
gently,
Creating a bouquet,
Tieing yellow
ribbons,
So they would'nt blow
away.
As I left the garden,
On that summer day
I turned and looked
once more,
Then slowly walked

The Lions Den (Bible Poems for Children)
Once there lived a
man,
Daniel by name.
In a far away land,
He gained fame.
He found favor with
the king,
Helped him rule over
everything.
People were jealous,
of the way,
Daniel, always knelt
to pray.
Throw him in the

Remnants Left Behind
A leaf detaching
herself from a tree
strong winds howling
catching in a gale
just won't let her be
A ship sailing on an
ocean
being bashed by heavy
winds
forcing her to dry
land
seeking asylum once
again
Footprints in the sand
leaving behind positive
thoughts
until the tide rushes
in

Worthwhile Things (A Young Poet)
Consider the seasons, how
they change,
Beautiful snow, falling rain.
Summer sun shining
bright,
Millions of stars, giving
light.
Flowers blooming in the
Spring,
A choir of childrens voices
ring.
Gentle flows, from a brook,
Aroma of food, beginning
to cook.
Our children lying safely
in bed,
After good night prayers
are said.

The Way Of Lıfe
everyone has things they must
conceal
something they cannot reveal
self control is nothing new
this is what we learn to do
we want to run but try to walk
find a friend with whom to talkk
feel like crying but instead we
smile
meditate on things making life
worthwhile
wanting to go but instead we
stay
guess life's meant to be this
way
simular to the tortious and hare

Oh Face Of Yesterday
A vision of loveliness
skipping through fields
of clover.
Running to meet with
me,
presenting a beautiful
bouquet.
A lovley flower of spring,
more precious than a rose.
Ever renewing my heart felt
emotions,
touching me like no other.
Enflaming my spirit,
a tender touch of beauty.
Always proclaiming our
love.

Reading Eyes
The eyes are the light of
the body
Thoughts are asertained,
by
looking into them
Eyes tell the story of the
person
they possess.
They display happiness,
sadness
depression, hopes and
dreams
They tell the story of
your life
Looking into your eyes,
is like
opening the windows of
your world.

Over And Over Again
Sitting under a
weeping willow
wind rustling
in the leaves
they began
whispering a
name
over and over
again.
Reaching in the
shadows
grasping for
your hand
tiny pools
so near, almost
touching
yet suddenly
jerked away
