LOVE AND LIFE

With one foot in the future
And one foot in the past,
Let us try to live our days
As though each was our last.

FREEDOM

America has survived all attempts to destroy
Knowing the cruelty of war,
And, we who remain
Must help keep her free
For those who can march no more!

A GOOD POEM

A good poem paints a picture
For both your heart and brain.
It doesn't need a second chance
To make its meaning plain.

HOW LUCKY I'VE BEEN

Wise men learn more from watching fools
Than fools do from watching wise men.
I should know for I've been both.
I can 't believe how lucky I've been.

BIRDS

Birds are really quite remarkable,
When left alone to do their thing.
We have robbed their eggs and plucked their plumage,
And yet they continue to sing.

FAITH

Our confidence and trust in a higher power,
Helps guide us through every moment and hour.
Fidelity to ones promise and observance of law,
Lets our Lord know we heed his call.

HISTORY

Some have asked why must we study history;
It just encourages us to live in the past.
When we forget history we repeat its mistakes,
As the outcome of humanity is cast.

FORGIVE ME

I love you and I need you,
It's a fact and not a lie,
So if you plan to punish me,
Say anything, but good bye.

FRIENDSHIP

Better is a good friend in the house next door,
Than brothers and sisters who are far away.
The spirit of man needs the help of its friends,
To face all the problems of each fleeting day.

SPRING

Gone till next year, are winters cold days of chill,
While the fever of love hits the ground on the run.
There's heavenly splendor wherever we look,
As earth is warmed by the rays of the sun.
