A GOOD FRIEND

I Can Be
Your Best Friend
If You Don't
Hide Me Away.

I Can
Guide You
Even Through
The Darkest Places.

I Will Burn Bright
As Long
As You
Let Me Stay.

If You
Push Me Aside
I Am Only
One Step Away.

For When
You Find Me
You Will See
A Friend.

I Know
How Far
It Has Been
Now
We Have
Each Other Again.

Let us not
Lose Sight
It is Hard
Enough
To Find
Where
You
Have Been.

So Let us
Not Lose Track
Of Where
We Have Been.

For Than
We Can Go On
With Greater Vision.

I Like A Friend
Who Knows
Where
They are Going.

This Way
We Can See
All The Places
We Have Been.


A Poeatreeman

WHEN LIFE SEEMS ,
TO DEAL YOU
A BAD HAND
TAKE A GOOD
FRIEND ALONG

A SHADOW OF A FRIEND

He has His good side,
Though sometimes,
He follows His shadow

Then I see who He is,
A Friend
That does not always,
Go the way I see.

We Share a Lifetime,
Being Friends
I hope
He, will find Truth
To let Him see,
What is right..

For Time
Is not the Hour
That I must Take
Right or Left
To be His Friend,
Let Him know
I Cannot walk,
In His Shadow.

It is for Him,
That right
Will say it so

I am a Friend
That Cares a lot
I will talk to Him
With Heart
Let Him know,
What I Think is right
Not always, will He agree.

For He has His Shadow,
I have mine.
We both are Sometimes,
Left with Right
To do what We must,
To Show Ourselves.

Trying
To be Friends,
still be right

I cast no wrong
To say He is good
Truth will hold us
Both, in Heart
Friendship,
will last as Long,
As it's Honest.

A THOUGHT!

My Friendship,
Is not right nor wrong
When He takes me
To His wrong.

I Cannot go with Him at all

My Friendship,
Must have
Truth and Heart
Care and Love,
Will keep it Going.

My Friendship,
Must be True to us
Speak your mind,
Without you going.

Written For and Dedicated To
Ronald J. Kowan

Your Friend A Poeatreeman

If I have one friend,
It will be a Jewel in a Crown
If I have one Heart,
I can open the Treasures.

If I have His Heart,
I will have Friend Forever
If God is there,
We can Share
In His Crown TOGETHER..

A GOOD HEART

To James and Amy
I can see their Hearts
For I am in it

For they took my Cares
Gave, me theirs to Share

A Good Heart
I can Share to the End

Even Beyond,
when God Takes us in

A Good Heart
That takes not From Love
Cares Instead

A Good Heart
Who Comes by Being Friends
When all is Done
Love Shows Through

A Good Heart
That Gives
and Still Ask's not
Only asked
God,
to Help me Through

A Good Heart
That Has Given me
their Tears
help me
to Carry the Years

A Good Heart
I'll Take with me
For God,
Gave me the Chance
To Carry it with you.

Written for and Dedicated to
Amy and James Ku

A Good Friend, is a Bank of Love

Empty, if no Heart to Share

Blessed, if Found in a Lifetime

Twice, if you Have all the Cares

Remember When - 1960 (A Nostalgia Look Back in Time)

REMEMBER WHEN

We were young,

We were,
just little ones

We used to play

How we were,
when we were one

Way back then,
the times were young

Life was easy, for us then


For we had,
our innocence

Play was the only thing,
we knew

Then we grew,
into our lives

Time seemed
to change, their ways

For our eyes were
opened, to the view

Not all
of what we've seen, we liked

For life
only showed, the truth

It was up to us
to face it all

Even though,
it made us cry

Laugh
at the way, it went

For times were good,
times were bad

Life had its ways,
to cure our blues

It gave us, happiness
and love

With this love,
it gave us pain

For now our eyes,
are opened wide

Now we grown,
into our love

To feel the growing pain,
of impatient youth

Did we try,
to burn our life out

By trying
to do, all we can

For we thought,
we only had today

How wrong
we were

When we found,
how many mistakes,
we made

By being foolish,
with ourselves

How many times,
did it take to learn

We are
only, what we make

How many loves,
did we lose

By not being,
what we were

Trying to impress,
some little girl, or boy

To show them
you were grown up

A man or woman,
of the world

By doing things
only youth would do

Did you measure,
how big you were

By being the biggest fool,
of them all

Taking chances,
with your life

For it only took
common sense

To know
how wrong, you were

Did we listen,
to ourselves

Only when
it brought us pain

Sometimes,
even tragedy

A painful sorrow
to experience

Cost us
life and youth

When we passed,
the burning years

We saw
how foolish, we had been

Wondered
how, we got this far

In the year we are in

For now
we are more aware, of life

For we see life
has taught us, many things

Not all
did we want to be, a lesson

For our experiences,
were good

Only if we learn,
from the bad

Even though
we are older

We still
have allot, to learn

For life has many things,
in store

We can only know,
when it reaches, our door

For how we
receive it,

Will be our gift
or destruction

When we look,
behind

We'll have,
our blessing

For we can look back,
to the good times

To Remember...

THE STRUGGLES OF LIFE

When Times
Seem Troubled
All is not Right

Try to Find
Your Strength
To Lead you
Out From Fright.

For Troubles
are many,
So is Life

A Price we Pay
For Living Right

It is Easier to Feel
Wrong is Right
When all Seems
To Follow Night
Rather Than
The Day of Light

For it Takes
All you Have
and One more

To Pull
You Out
From Where
You've Been

When you Can
You'll Find
One Thing

You Have
Found yourself.

WISDOM

I cannot change
what will be
The tide
is not with me

I cannot change
the ocean
The current
will sweep its way

I cannot change
the sea
The force
will go their way

I cannot change
the stream
The flow
will seek the river

I cannot change
the season
For nature
has her display

I cannot change
the time
For the hands
are wound by life

I cannot change
the laws of God
For they are written,
no force can change

I cannot change
existence
For I exist
to bring on change

I cannot change
unless
I see the wisdom...

A Poeatreeman

The only things I should change
Are the changes who will bring me good
The only change not right
Are the one changing all the good.

THE MAST

It's not
The Roughs
Not the Storms
It's the Sinking
That will
Take me Down.

Battered and Torn
I am Still
In One Piece
My Mast
May not be
As it was Before.

Cracking
From all the Waves
That Hit
I Felt the Current
Coursing Through.

Changing me
To New Directions.

What Seas that Lie
Beneath my Ship
What Broken Vessels
Will I Keep.

To Sail across
The Seas of Life?
What Makes
My Mast
Strong and Right?

A THOUGHT!

Am I
That Tall Ship
From Long Ago
Or just
A Mask
of Weathered Storms
Showing
All its Breakage?

Dedicated To Richard

A Poeatreeman

One Course,
Will not let me
Go Aground.

One will Take me,
Through all Storms.

One will Keep me,
From Breaking up.

One will Show me,
The Northern Lights.

POET'S NOTE

A LOG OF LIFE

The Port I Entered
Will Be The One I Leave
The Dock I Anchored
Will Be Where I’ll Be
The Log I Kept
Will Speak Of My Journey.
