Poems From My Heart - Contemporary poetry

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WELCOME~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I enjoy writing poems and do have a couple of short spiritual pages also ,I will soon put in with my poems !

I just want to say~~~ Without FAITH, and the LOVE of GOD,FAMILY and FRIENDS, I would not be here with the gift in writing poems !
And believe me...I am no expert ! ;-)
If I can write and put my mind at ease,that is one good example !
When days are hectic or just darn slow,I put a pencil in my hand or just get on the computer and start writing.
It relaxes me and gives me comfort.
SO~~~
I want to thank all of you, for your love,caring, and sharing all the memories I have stored in my heart! I am also blessed with having such wonderful family and friends !

You're my family and I love you
You fill my very soul with love
It's like a song
To the tune of “I LOVE YOU”

My grandchildren, all six of you
With your faces so precious and sweet
I close my eyes
And I feel you close to me

My children's children
All planted with love
From your mom and dad
And God above
A seed called family
A family of love

A family mends a broken heart
When one falls apart
From someone that's sick
Or passes on

So my dear family
“I LOVE YOU”
And with those three words
That's what makes a family!

~~~~Remember these little sayings from others~~~~

Whenever life gets too hectic and you're feeling overwhelmed,stop for a minute,take a deep breath...and remember how wonderful I think you are.

Never while I keep my sences shall I compare anything to the delight of a friend.

A true friend puts warm fuzzy sweaters on all the skeletons in your closet.

And this one I love the most ~~~~~

Smile-it makes people wonder what you've been up to.

Thanks everyone!

I just want to thank everyone who voted for my poem~~~"A Pink Rose, Washed From Sea" in the Poetry Contest, on July 24th 2004! Thanks, Thanks and Thanks! ;-)

Everyday I wake up...
I thank the Lord for this day
To keep us all safe from harms way

Everday I wake up...
I look outside my window
And see the work of mother nature
Looking right at me

Everyday I wake up...
I think of you and me
And the gentle breeze that's blowing
Which brings in the pollen
That makes us sneeze

Everyday I wake up...
I pray for every child
To have a parent/parents
That will always makes them smile

So everyday I wake up...
I always thank the Lord
For the wonderful life he gave me
And hope the same for you!
