LOVE IS SEASONAL
FOR IT FALLS EACH DAY.

IT DOES NOT CHANGE
THOUGH IT WARMS
OUR WAY.

RETURN IT ONCE
TWICE BE BLESSED.

GIVE IT MORE
TO ALL THE REST.

THEN THE WORLD

UNDER THE TREE

Under The Tree
Is not once a year,
It is all through Life.

The Presents are there,
Not all will be opened

Each Day is a Gift ,
For Me to open

What I find in it,
Is the Best I put in it

For as I am unwrapping it,
I am tying the bow

The Gift I am giving,
I am making it more

I am putting My Heart in it,
So I can give more

Each Day is a Present,
I can give too

Love is My Best One,
I can give to You

Do not wait for Christmas,
To give it too

Share it Each Day,
You will have it too

No Presents to unwrap,
When Love is Open

Under The Tree,
Let Us Look To Find Peace

Under The Heavens

Let Us Look To God
To Start The Day

For No Greater Gift
Can I Give Humanity

Than To Give Love
Each Day

Keep The Heart Open
Understanding Can Be

Forge With God
That No Sword Will Be Used

Peace Will Come
When Man Loses Hatred

Hope and Love
are The Best I Can Give Today

I Added A Prayer
That We would Find Our Way

God Willing!
We Will See The Day.


Dedicated To The World

For Each Heart
is One Light On The Tree

A Poeatreeman

A Poet's Note

When You Hang Your Heart Out

Remember The Tears

They Are The Snowflakes
Falling For Years

They Will Blanket Love
To Cheer The Heart

Remember To Care
You Will Light Up
Wishing For Peace
The Light Will Stay On

Hoping The World
Will Get Along

Asking God
Will Help Us All

I Pray The Hour
Will Not Be Long..

SOMETIMES I DO AND SOMETIMES I DON'T

[SOMETIMES2]

SOMETIME IT IS BETTER TO LEAVE THEM ALONE
SOMETIMES IT IS BEST TO SAY I AM HERE
SOMETIMES A PRAYER MAY ANSWER THEIR CALL
SOMETIMES YOU WILL NOT SUCCEED AT ALL
FOR IT TAKES A PRAYER TO ANSWER OUR NEEDS
IT TAKES FAITH TO UNDERSTAND WHY.
SOMETIMES YOU ARE LOST, YOU DO NOT KNOW WHY.
REASON SOMETIMES, WILL GIVE IT A TRY.

SOMETIMES I DO AND SOMETIMES I DON'T

I wish I were
at another place

When things are down ,
life seems Hell

I wish I was,
a child again

Sometimes I Don't,

For I see the things,
I have done before

I would not want
to, do it again

To go through life,

Only seeing,
what I was before

Sometimes I do,

When I think
of how, it used to be

Looking back
to all the joys, I had,

At being a child,
once more.

Sometimes I Don't,

For I see
how hard, it was

To make it ,this far

I would not want,

To go through
this pain, once more

When I look back,

I see
I have grown, from this

For I have learned,

I must be happy,
where I am

Even though I wish,

Sometimes I do,
and Sometimes I Don't

I am happy
I am here, for both.


A Poeatreeman

Oh! how I Wish
it might have been?
Might I Wish it all again?

WON’T YOU JUST TRY ?: WORDS
[whenever-i-hear-it-cant-be-done-i-know-im-close-to-success]



WON’T YOU JUST TRY ?

SOMETIMES THE HARDEST THINGS TO DO IS CAN'T
IT'S THE WON'T WHO TELL ME WHAT TO DO
SO I TRY MY OWN TO JUST GET THROUGH.
THEN I FIND SUCCESS HAS LIFTED ME.

WORDS

IT’S THE WON’T
THAT GET BY ME.

THE CAN’T
THAT TRY ME.

THE WHY’S
THAT BUG ME.

I NEED A DICTIONARY
TO UNDERSTAND ME.

BECAUSE SHOWS UP
WHY YOU ASKED ME.

I WAS LOOKING
FOR WON’T

TO SEE
WHAT I COULD.

I WAS LOOKING
AT CAN’T.

TO KNOW
WHAT I SHOULD.

I FOUND WISDOM
TO TELL ME I WILL.

SUCCESS WAS THERE
TO FIND ME.

I AM CLOSER
TO YOUR WILL.

WON'T YOU
TRY ME ?

NEVERMORE

Once I was
Nevermore
will I be

Once I was
here
Everything
was near

Once was
a choice
Nevermore
so now

Once was
a day
Nevermore
will I see

Once was
a night
Nevermore
To be dark

Once was
a sunlight
Nevermore
to be seen

Once was
a time
Nevermore
to be had

Once was
an hourglass
Nevermore
to be changed

Once was
a lifetime
Nevermore
to be lived

Once was
a wish
Nevermore
will I dream

Once was
once
Nevermore
to be found

Once was
a Season
Nevermore
will it be.

A THOUGHT!

The hour
changes
I cannot
hold back

The years
passed
away
yesterday
has left

What
am I
to do
today?
make it
my best

Tomorrow
is
an empty
quest

It holds
eternity
nevermore
will I
request..

The Rose in My Garden
By Arnold Lobel

TO MY SISTER ROSE

There is only one place

I found you can be

In my Heart in the Garden

Where a Rose is meant to be

So remember!

When Heaven asks you

Where you want to be?

In my Brother's Garden,

Heaven if you please

Let me be

A Bright Red Rose

So my Brother will know

I am there with He

Let me Blossom always

That Love will always be.

A THOUGHT!

To all The Roses
I could only find one

To You I found
all My Love

That Rose
Who Loved Me
All through life

To You Heaven
Will open its Door

One Rose who Found
Her way to God

Now She can Bloom
Forever more.

Written For and Dedicated To
My Sister Rose Arnita

GOD HELP US ALL

Him well
For When
You go

His Hand

Lose Yourself

From

I may not be
As Bright
As I was

Yet
Love
Has brought Me
To Your Door

Take Me in
Make Me Whole

I will be
A Bright
Red Rose

More Precious
Than
The Purest Gold

More Lovely
For I am Whole

More Loved
For You Filled
My Heart

More Brilliant
For You Held
The Rose...


A THOUGHT!

My petals may fall off
Yet my love is still there with You

My stem may be broken
Yet My Heart will still hold You

My Rose may not be as bright

Yet She still is a Rose
More lovely young or old.

Dedicated To
My Sister Rose Arnita
Her Fight with Cancer
Left Her still A Rose
More Loved
For God Gave me time
To know a Rose...

Love Your Poeatreeman

Her thorns have turned into Herself

Her softness She exposed

To hold one lovely Rose for life

More beautiful than I know

God's creation

one Rose who brought love.

Do You Want to Be My Friend?
By Eric Carle

FRIEND

A friend is one who shares his life

Even though there is a love

Time to take and keep a friend

To take life and share itself

A friend is not a name I know

Nor words that have no heart

Nor one that gives me what I want

Rather see's me as I am

Still holds on to what we have

My name is Ed my friend is Ron

No!

My friend is one who shares his heart.

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..
