All rights reserved.5Your one of a kind,a rare breed,hard to find,your my pal,your my friend,your my buddy,till the end.I miss you,more than I"d let on,your a true spirited person,that I hate is gone.It tore me up,it put me to tears,to realize your gone after so many years.We"ll see each other a time or two,when we say goodbye,it will always be blue.We had a friendship that was rare,something most people won"t sharehttp://www.voicesnet.org/displayonepoem.aspx?poemid=1391209/7/2008I say little spider,I see you on the ledge,I hope you don"t try to come in,thats something you would dredge,We will get along just fine,as long as you don"t cross that line,You stay on the outside,and I"ll stay in,I watch you spin your web each day,and what a mirical,I got to say.The strongest string on this earth,that mirical you were given at birth,So hey little spider,be on your way,you stay on the outside,and I"ll let you stayhttp://www.voicesnet.org/displayonepoem.aspx?poemid=1391219/7/2008I went to work one day,not a worry,I had to say,I slipped and slidded,on some steel,and now my back,it will not heal.I"ve been off work,nearly a year,I slipped and slidded,but could not steer.My hip and back,they still hurt,I can"t help,but it put me out of work.I take lots of pills,I don"t know if they help.I do exercises,I wish they knew how I felt.I haven"t had a day without pain since I was injured,my wife does all the yardwork,while I stand around and hurt.So be careful at work,and try to make it home,It"s way better than being hurt to the bonehttp://www.voicesnet.org/displayonepoem.aspx?poemid=1391249/7/2008You have to be carefull,all the time.You never know,when its the end of the line.Were told about safety everyday,were listening,because we want to stay.A lack of concentration,a moment lost.An injury,can happen that fast,and it will cost.Were trying to make it home each day,so when we get there,we can say.Ya hon,I had a good dayhttp://www.voicesnet.org/displayonepoem.aspx?poemid=1391349/7/2008My future lies before me,I see it very clear.I can make changes along the way,that affect each year.I plan for a happy life,just like everyone else,I want the best for my family,and myself.Health,happieness,prosperity,and good luck.I guess I ask for it all,just to get out of this rut.I take things seriously,I take them to heart.Alot of the times it tears me apart.I cant wait for things to line up,and fall into place.Then I"ll be finished this damn rat racehttp://www.voicesnet.org/displayonepoem.aspx?poemid=1401399/27/2008The ember burns,like my love for you.I see your eyes I know its true.You create a fire inside,that I just can not hide.The ember burns.To touch your skin,I feel so blessed,just to feel your warm caress.I thought it was something,I guess I was wrong,Its just that this feeling was so strong.The ember burns.http://www.voicesnet.org/displayonepoem.aspx?poemid=1585168/31/2009I see a rainbow,I"ll follow it to the end.Its up around the corner,just around the bend.There I see my pot of gold,just waiting for me.Its been there all along,I just could not see.Now I"ve got my pot of gold,my life is so enriched.So now I can dig my way,out of this ditch.Happily ever after I shall be.Dont you just wish that you were me..http://www.voicesnet.org/displayonepoem.aspx?poemid=1581348/22/2009The world is my oyster,and I embrace it with open arms.I love it for its beauty,and all of its charms.To be a part of this,I feel so blessed.To be touched by mother nature,I feel her caress.My eyes wide open,I take it all in.To harm mother nature would be a sin.http://www.voicesnet.org/displayonepoem.aspx?poemid=1581358/22/2009If I knew all the answers,whats the point of taking the test.If I knew all the answers,my mind would be at rest.Its the challange I like ,to strive to be my best.Its a mans desires,its a mans quest.http://www.voicesnet.org/displayonepoem.aspx?poemid=1803758/19/2010In a twist of fate,that storm came for me.It took the house,the barn,and even the tree.Im in the storm cellar,waiting for it to pass.I hear the destuction,broken boards,broken glass.With the roar of a train engine,it passed over me.I wait for the silence,and then I am free.http://www.voicesnet.org/displayonepoem.aspx?poemid=1803768/19/2010I want just one wish,for everthing to be right,for everything to be fabulous and out of sight.I want that feeling,that buzz you get.where everything is electric and you fly like a jet.Stuff happens everyday,9 billion people,9 billion ways.Were all strugling for the same thing,to laugh,cry,rejoice,and sing.To feed our bellies,and to feed our souls.That is everymans wish,and everymans dreams.http://www.voicesnet.org/displayonepoem.aspx?poemid=1803778/19/2010Our roots are in the comunity,its plain to see.From the lowest branch,to the tip of the tallest tree.Our family and our friends,are all that we need.We all work,for shelter and feed.We look to one another,for help and suport.Just a pat on the shoulder is a good retort.To be rewarded well,is all that we ask.So remember this when your passing the flask.To keep your men happy,and make them proud.To make it thru the tough times,for crying out loud.http://www.voicesnet.org/displayonepoem.aspx?poemid=1579218/18/2009I see a rainbow,I"ll follow it to the end.Its up around the corner,just around the bend.There I see my pot of gold,just waiting for me.Its been there all along,I just could not see.Now I"ve got my pot of gold,my life is so enriched.So now I can start to dig my way out of this ditch.Happily ever after,I shall be.Dont you just wish,you were me.http://www.voicesnet.org/displayonepoem.aspx?poemid=1578738/17/2009The world is my oyster,and I embrace it with open arms,I love it for its beauty,and all of its charms.To be a part of this,I feel so blessed.To be touched by Mother Nature,I feel her caress.My eyes wide open,I take it all in.To harm Mother Nature,would be a sin.http://www.voicesnet.org/displayonepoem.aspx?poemid=1578278/16/2009We stand together the two of us,to be together would be a plus.We love each other so very much,the electricity of a human touch.We will create a family and make a home.It will be ours,we will call it our own.The simple things in life you see,will be between you and me.Our lives start over this day,with all our family and friends we"ll say.I Do.http://www.voicesnet.org/displayonepoem.aspx?poemid=1578298/16/2009The Les Paul guitar,made rock&roll.It has a rythm and a soul.The sound that comes from this guitar,will be heard near and far.It changed the way music was played,the electric guitar,the magic it made.It will be around for a long,long time.Thank you Les paul,now I"ll make it my mine.http://www.voicesnet.org/displayonepoem.aspx?poemid=1578268/16/2009I have to go right to the bottom,and then I"ll bounce back.Its a long way down,I thought it was a one way track.When I hit rock bottom,it will hurt for a while.Then I have to climb up to the top of the pile.I wont give up,and I wont give in.To do that would be a sin.I will make it to the top,I know I will.Once I get to the top,Im over that hill.And ther lies green pastures in front of me,I just had to open my eyes to see.http://www.voicesnet.org/displayonepoem.aspx?poemid=1578288/16/2009When I think of you,a bright light shines thru.I feel empowered,I feel so strong,this feeling it cant be wrong.My heart pounds,my thoughts are racing.With you my love,my souls embracing.I need you now,more than you know.I caress your body with my soulhttp://www.voicesnet.org/displayonepoem.aspx?poemid=1578308/16/2009in the blink of an eye,my whole life changed.in a blink of an eye, it all got rearanged.we had it all,we were riding that wave.we rode a long time,now its starting to cave.we were coasting along,doing well.in the blink of an eye,it all went to hell.I never thought I had much,untill it was gone.it got rearanged and went all wrong.we broke that bairier,we crashed right thru.were gonna make it,we"ll start anew.its all just stuff,we can get some more.we"ll move ahead and open the next door.cause in a blink of an eye we can change it again,we"ll open the right door and step right in.http://www.voicesnet.org/displayonepoem.aspx?poemid=1370028/10/2008I stand alone,at the end of the day.Nowhere to go, nothing to say.Although I work for a big company,I stand alone,nobody but me.I hurt so much everyday,I wish,I wish it would go away,its hard to tell people how I feel.If I was a wagon,Id be a broken wheel.So many people,used to say they cared,I dont know whats wrong,maybe their running scared.Much time has gone by,and I still feel the same.If I was that company,Id feel shame.To let an employee go thru so much stuff,Its come to an end,enoughs,enough.http://www.voicesnet.org/displayonepoem.aspx?poemid=1478732/8/2009
