You Are Loved…

You Are Loved
I know sometimes you doubt it,
And you don?t hear it often enough,
But know this one thing as you walk this earth:
You are loved.
In your finest hours and weakest moments
You are loved.
Covered with dirt or fresh from your bath,
Respected, rejected, defamed or
acclaimed,
You are loved.
You may wear that love proudly as a red flower,
Or keep [...]

Poems for Fathers: ‘If’ by Rudyard Kipling (1910)

 
If
Rudyard Kipling (1910)
If you can keep your head when all about youAre losing theirs and blaming it on you;If you can trust yourself when all men doubt youBut make allowance for their doubting too;If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,Or, being [...]

“It Will Not Change” by Sarah Teasdale

“It Will Not Change”
It will not change now
After so many years;
Life has not broken it
With parting or tears;
Death will not alter it,
It will live on
In all my songs for you
When I am gone.
Sarah Teasdale

Alone” by Edgar Allen Poe

 
 
Alone
From childhood’s hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of [...]

“Good-by” by Ralph Waldo Emerson

 
Good-by
Good-by, proud world, I’m going home,
Thou’rt not my friend, and I’m not thine;
Long through thy weary crowds I roam;
A river-ark on the ocean brine,
Long I’ve been tossed like the driven foam,
But now, proud world, I’m going home.
Good-by to Flattery’s fawning face,
To Grandeur, with his wise grimace,
To upstart Wealth’s averted eye,
To supple Office low and high,
To [...]

Parents Bill of Rights

Parents Bill of Rights

or ‘Don’t mess with mothers’
Don’t mess with mothers….
My son came home from school one day, with a smirk upon his face.
He decided he was smart enough, to put me in my place.
Guess what I learned in Civics Two, that’s taught by Mr. Wright?
It’s all about the laws today, The “Children’s Bill of [...]

Dear Melissa,

I am afraid that my rain dance would not be of much help to you now
nor' would the medicine wheel ~
How ever the poem below seems to be very fitting
of your situation at hand ~
Be at peace with all humans and know that
the circle of life is on going ~
They who have hell in their [...]

Pagan Blessings
My path is an ancient one,
my heart is true and wise…
I celebrate the fertile green earth,
and see with open eyes…
I seek the mysteries of the moon,
and dance beneath its gaze…
I pay homage to the Goddess,
and lift my arms to her in praise.

My Withered Heart

My Withered Heart

I haven't any talents,
No brain
And no beauty,
But the heart that beats within,
Every purity pumped through me,
Tries to demolish the blackness
that taints my every pulse.
And
Each time it twitches,
I feel it struggle more and more,
Because this hell we call life
Is forcing through innocence' doors.

Don’t Cry For Me

Don’t Cry For Me
Don’t cry for me sweet child
Mommy’s doing what’s right
I would feel so guilty
If I didn’t go and fight

Don’t cry for me sweet child
It would hurt me to see you that way
I’ll send you all of my love
And write to you each day
Don’t cry for me sweet child
I’m working for the country
Daddy can [...]
