TO TOUCH GOD

If I could
Touch you
With my hand.

I would
Reach out
With my heart.

If I could
be
By your side.

I would
Stay there
All life long.

If I could
See you
With my eyes.

I know
I would
Lose my fears.

If I could
Be
A little bit
Like you.

I know
I would
Have hope
For me.

If I could
Know
The things
You feel.

I would
Want
To share
Your pains.

If I could
Know
I was not bad.

I know
You would
Come to me.

If I could
Be
As sure as you.

My faith
Would be
As strong
As yours.

If I could
Have
A moment
With you.

I would
Give
My life
To you...

"Chloe Agnew To Where You Are lyrics"


Who can say for certain
Maybe you’re still here
I feel you all around me
Your memories so clear

Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You’re still an inspiration
Can it be (?)
That you are mine
Forever love
And you are watching over me from up above

Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile to know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are

Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn’t faith believing
All power can’t be seen

As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me everyday
’cause you are mine
Forever love
Watching me from up above

And I believe
That angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave

Fly me up
To where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are

I know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are
public 2:51 PM

THE LOSS

HEAVEN'S LODGE
GOD IS MY KEEPER
HE HAS TAKEN ME IN
OPEN YOUR HEART
I'LL BE WITHIN
I HAVE NOT LEFT YOU
I AM IN MY FATHERS INN.

THE LIGHT OF FREEDOM


[american-freedom]




A TRIBUTE TO THOSE
WHO SERVED
AND THOSE NOT SEEN
TO THE FUTURE !
WHO WOULD KEEP
FREEDOM FREE.


Freedom Lost!
is not ours to Lose

The Cost was
Paid by Many Souls

Those Who Died
To Set us Free

The Lost;

To Forget
Their Dying Deeds

Keep
it Burning
in your Heart

The
Light of Freedom

Will
Shine Throughout

Extinguished Only

When
you Forget
your Rights

Remember
The Fallen,

They
Paid with
Their Life

Remember
Their Spirit

They
Fought for
your Rights

Look
at the Flag;

Tell me
I am not Right

It’s
Stained
with the Spirits

Who
Colored its Life

It
Waves in the Wind

When
Freedom is in Sight.

Dedicated To The Fallen Souls

Whose
Lives now Serve
Freedom’s Role

Recall
To Remember
Freedom’s Fight

I Pray
we do not
Forget our Rights.

A Poeatreeman

I am Bound by God
To Pledge it All

I am Bound
by my Country
To Fight
For it All

I am Bound
by Truth
To Serve no Lies

I am Bound
by Conscience
To Keep
Freedom Strong.

A SERVICE FOR LIFE GOD'S ARMY

I Serve Hearts

Hate
Is what I Combat

The Casualties
Will be Sorrows

Care will have to
Aid me through

Yet in the end

Love will come through

Peace will Win

The Tears will fall

As Love Hurts too

God is there
To see me through

Each Day I Pray
Peace will Come

For Prayers
are my only Ammunition

That Hate
Will not Win

Love
Is my Salvo

I Fire
To Win

I keep
Hate in check

That it will not
Come in..

A Poeatreeman

LOVE is only OUT

When HATE is WITHIN

PRAY for CARE to RETURN

LOVE will be WITHIN.

THE MEN OF GRANITE
POEATREEMAN THE VIETNAM WALL.flv: TRIBUTE TO THE MEN OF GRANITE

Uploaded by EDGAR ALLAN Prieto on Aug 23, 2011

DEDICATED TO THE MEN OF VIETNAM
AND ALL WHO SERVED

THE MEN OF GRANITE




The Stone that Rises
before them all




Were
Men of Flesh
before the Fall




A
Tribute
of The Ones
of Stone
Carved
in Granite
to show the cause

A
life that once
felt these Hearts
Now
is lost
in Men of Stone

These
Soldier's
who fight no more
Only
stand
with an unknown cause

In
fields of lifeless still

To
Speak
Out of Why it Was

Once
on a Battlefield!
Where
Men were Flesh

Are
we to be Flesh or Stone?

These
Men of Granite
will not come Home

A
Life,
a Tribute of the Cause

A
Price
they Paid
to be in Stone

Is
it fitting to the end?
To
stand a bliss
and see the end?

Can
We
Not Make
Peace Our Friend?
Carve
a Monument
To The End?

Leave
The Men
with Flesh and Feet
Hearts
and Minds
Not Torn Apart

These
Souls
Amidst Tombs of Stone

Standing
in Fields
of Granite and Stone

Die
Amidst
The Baptism of Fire
Where
Death is Hailed
by Tributes of Fire

Friend
and Foe
were Both to go

As
Bullets
Ripped,
Through
Flesh and Soul

Leaving
Both
Friend and Foe
Shattered
Dreams
and Broken Hearts

Fell
as Each
One's
Life was Lost

Death
Had
Come
To
Quench its Thirst

The
Tools of War
Gave Him His Feast

Is
This
The Price
That spilled Their Blood?

To
See
Them Turn
From Flesh To Stone

For
is Our
Monument
To Them or War?

These
Men of Granite
Will Not Come Home.

A Poeatreeman

If I could be
as Hard as Granite

I
would be less
than Flesh and Bone

If
I could assure you
My Heart and Soul
are One with Them

You'll
know I was not
Steel of Granite

If
you can see
the tears that fall
You'll
know there is
a Soul in this.

A MONUMENT OF SORROWS

FOR ALL THE HEARTS
SOULS WHO DIED

DREAMS SHATTERED
BEFORE
IT WAS BORN

HOPE LOST
FOR THOSE WHO DIED

YEARS OF SORROWS
LEFT TO SIGH

MEMORIES LEFT
OF PAINFUL TIMES

REMEMBERING

I PRAY PEACE
IS THE TIME.

A TARNISHED STAR

CANNOT SHINE BRIGHT

WHEN TRUTH IS HIDDEN
FROM THE LIGHT.


MAN’S SHADOW

CAST THE NIGHT

TO COVER ALL

EVEN RIGHT.


THE SUN WILL RISE
THE NIGHT WILL FALL

WILL TRUTH BE SHOWN
OR ARE STAR FALL ?

IT IS UP TO MAN
TO MAKE THE CALL.

A TARNISHED STAR
WE WILL NOT SEE ALL.

HOW MANY LIES
BEFORE MAN WILL FALL ?

LESSONS OF LIFE


A LESSON TO BE LEARNED

What
I Learned
in School
You
cannot
keep
God away

What
I Learned
in Life
I
see Him
every day

What
I Learned
in School
He
is Here
when I pray

What
I Learned
in Life
Is to
Thank Him
every day

What
I Learned
in School
Is to
Carry Him
each day

What
I Learned
in Life
Is not
to lose
the way..

A THOUGHT!

My Lesson
is a Lifetime
of Learning
The key
will be
was I Learning?
The School
I may come
through
Yet
Life's another
Journey.

Dedicated to Lauren Kowan

A Poeatreeman

One hard Lesson
is fought each day
Give
not in
to ease the way
Look
at it all
to see the best
know the worst
was not the way.

A Poet's Note

Whenever
I come through
the Worst
Know
the Best
is in view

Whenever
the Best
is not to see
Take
the Worst
make it Better

Keeping
Perspective
will get
You through

The Best
and Worst
is what You do

God
is here
To help You through.

THE PENDULUM OF TIME

Man Plays for Time
He thinks
He Has Tomorrow

He
has only 24hrs

If
He does not
do it Right Today

Tomorrow
will only show
He did not
do it Today

Yesterday
I had Hope
It would
be Right Today

Man
Plays with Time,

THINKS!

There
is more Tomorrow

I
pushed it
all behind
Thinking
I was ahead

I
lost it all
to Time
For
I Set
my own Hour
Who
is ahead,
who is behind?

The
Man who thinks
He
can Wound Time

The
Fool who said
I have the Time

I
will meet
you Tomorrow

Why
not Today?

I
will have
more Time
To
see you Tomorrow

I
have
no Time Today

Death
came Yesterday
And
took Today

Tomorrow
brought me
no new day

Where
is Time

If
I let

The
Hands pass beyond?

I
pushed it ahead

To
Tomorrow's Dawn

I
set it further

Than
it was supposed
to be

How
do
I keep Time
When
it is not there
to see?

A Poeatreeman

I was set
for Life
when I was born

The Hour Ends
When
Death is at my Door

The
Hands that faced me
Were
Destiny and Fate

Set
to move
from Birth to Death

Each Day
wounds me
to its end
I
am closer
than
I wish to think.


RUSH

What is
One Minute,
If
I Wasted Two
To
Get There?

HUMANITIES A COURSE FOR LIFE

I have
a course in life

I
am trying
to be human

With
all the others
in this world

I
am trying
to be
the best I can

My grades
will be
each day
I am here

I
am
not better
just trying
to be good

I
am
not
in any class
for I see
only one world

Grant
you there
are poor and rich

Better
off does not
make you better

There
are some
who find
greatness
being poor

There
are others
who are rich

Find
they are
burdened
by it all

I
am best
when
I am human

I
am even
better
when
I help
my fellow man

If
I was born
with a silver spoon

It
does not
mean
my plate is full

If
I was not!

Does
not mean
I have
an empty one

For heart
and spirit
need both be full

If
I am poor
if I am rich

It matters
only
if I lose
my soul

For
in the end
it will not
be money
That
will bring
you to heaven

But
a heart of gold

Love
knows no rich or poor

It touches
all who seek it

Only man
puts it in a class

Poor little boy!

A THOUGHT!

If my spirit is rich
I have no need for gold
If my pockets are full
my heart is empty
What is my soul?

DEDICATED TO HUMANITY

A Poeatreeman

The measure of a man
Is not
If his pockets are filled
But his heart
Has riches beyond gold
For what if a man
Has no heart
Where
Could he place
His greatest treasure?
He cannot
For he does not hold it .

I LOST MY HEAD

When Thanksgiving ,
Rolls Around

I Always Seem,
To Lose, my Head

No Matter ,
What I Try,
To Do

I only Hope,
I will Keep,
My Head

No Matter,
What They Try,
To Do

Keeping me,
From Their,
Destined Plans

To Put me In,
A Roasting Pan

Stuff me,
With Everything

To Make me Feel,
Like Some Turkey

After all,
Of That

They only Want
To Give me the Ax...

Dedicated To
All The Turkeys
Happy Thanksgiving

I GUESS I'M THE GUEST


OOH IT'S SO GOOD !

For
Love is There

I Filled it
With the Best,

Added Care

I Took
A Cup of Tears,

Poured
It out
With Feelings,

I Topped
It off With
Sweetness,

Shaped it
Like a Heart

I
Gave it
To the World,

That
I Could
Have a Share.



Ooh
It's So Good !



That
Love
Is being Served.

I
Took out
The Bitterness

Only
Love was There.

I
Will
Share it always,

With
Kindness
To Touch it off.


I
Have
A Slice of Love,

Would
You be Kind
Enough to Get it?


I
Am Trying
To Serve
Humanity,

I
Hope
It will
Last Forever.



Ooh
It's So Good !



If
We Can
Share Together,

We'll
Have a Taste,
of Love.

A THOUGHT!

Life
Is not
Always Sweet

Yet
Is Does not
Have to be Served

With Bitterness

Give Care!
It will Help the Heart

Kindness
Won't put Salt
On the Wound

There is Love
To Season
Flavor it all.

Written For
Dedicated To
Mr Food!
Art Ginsburg

A Poeatreeman

The Best Herb

Is
A Heartfelt
Feeling

It
Never
Loses its Flavor

Always
Holds its Spice

It
Has
Tenderness

When
Moistened
With a Tear

There
Are
No other Flavors

I
Would Add
To the Heart

The
Only other Thing

I
Would put Into it,

Is that Which
Makes it Softer

Love,
and Care
Is the only
Tenderizer

Pounding
Your Heart
Would only Hurt

Using
Your Head
Is
Sometimes Wise

When
It Comes to Heart

I
Think Love
Will work Better..

By Matthew Kelly

OH GOD!

Oh God it's you,

Funny
I did not
see you there

Where
was I looking?

Don't
tell me God

It must
have been
the other guy

Now
that I found
you,

Or
You found me

Where
do we go now?

Let
us take the day
to see

Tomorrow
if you're
still with me

We
can wake
with the
morning sun

Let
us do this
the rest of time

Then
I will know,

You
are always
here with me..

A THOUGHT!

I wait my
whole life
to find
a friend as you

I pray
you are
always here
with me

I have
Faith
for it's my
only
way to see

I have
today to share
with thee.

IN MEMORY OF GEORGE BURNS
I AM IN GOD'S HOUSE NOW
PLAYING MY GREATEST ROLE

A Poeatreeman

Each day you're here
I count my faults

You do not judge me
for I was wrong

You forgave me
when I could not

Through it all
I still have your heart

I thank the day
you made me

count
my lucky stars

For
without you

I would never
have loved at all.
