Inspirational Poem
The Person I Long To Be
© By Victoria A. Mogyorosi
The day light breaks again
Another day has begun.
But still no sleep has come.
My body is weary
My mind overworked.
I lie awake thinking
But what I am unsure.
I need to break free from the cycle I endure.
Everyday is the same and the nights are undistinguished.
I feel as though I am being pushed along with the tide
Unable to break free from the everyday flow.
This is not me I need to change, before time takes over
And I am unable to change.
I need to be freed from the grasp of ordinary
And become that person I have always longed for.
Express myself in every way, and conquer the dreams as I lie awake.
Then I may fall asleep and put my mind to rest.
Make changes in my life and help those in need.
I would like to touch everyone's life in a positive way
And leave my mark on society before I fade away.
When Love really arrives
© By Norma Guihurt
When True Love stays aside
of any human 's life...
loneliness takes the place
prolonging nights and days.
When True Love is not near,
what song you use to hear?
what means time and space?
which are the special days?
When Love remains so far
and you resemble tire,
to whom you will require?
where will be your desire?
When True Love is abide
with whom you can comply?
Who will respond your call
and hear you at all?
When True Love stays inside
the soul enjoys it's truthfulness
you hear His voice reply;
your heart remains rely.
When True Love overflows
something makes your face glows;
Love enjoys your free soul
looking at the Great Goal.
When True Love states His kingdom
you recover the reason;
you retrieve your lost smile;
yours becomes a new life.
When True Love really arrives
never you will be abide;
you will live in Victory
since you are seeing His Glory.
One Fireman's fate
© By Brian K. Blackden
The bell clangs, out of our bunks we roll
Sliding down the bright brass pole
On the truck donning gear
Chanting our claim, no fear, no fear
To the call we rush in the night
Pull to the curb oh what a sight
Flames, embers, people's screams
One look now at many shattered dreams
Into the fire we rush to save life
Dragging our line, axe, and pike
Up the steep stairs and through the hot door
I step too quick and go through the floor
Into the room below all aglow
The fires intense my screams so immense
The heat is unyielding but then I can see
My body from above and what I am shielding
It is God's will I went through that door
And part of his plan I fell through that floor
For my purpose is seen through my own tears
I have given my life for one of two years
Don't be angry I have lived my life true
To the child I have saved I'm glad you will too
I was a fireman and proud to be one
I know your life's fate you'll be on truck one
I know this is true for God has shown me
One life for another as it will be
As I watch from above my tears turn to joy
I have given my life for my own little boy
A True Story of A Real Man
© By Nichole L. Johnson
A man that made an impression on strangers and friends.
Quiet but firm and even more stern.
Strength and courage I have learned from you, but being without you is hard to do.
A man with pride in every step he made.
A man with vigor in every phrase.
The tears I've shed cannot surpass the smiles and the laughs we had with you.
To feel your pain I could not do, to feel your joy I cannot explain, but being without is hard to do.
A man with pride in every step he made.
A man with vigor in every phrase.
A man that defined the word grand as only a real man can.
To know you're in a better place soothes my pain.
Knowing you're watching over me makes me sane.
A man with pride in every step he made.
A man with vigor in every phrase.
A true story of a real man, who in the end held his family together as only a real man can.
My grandfather, a man with poise.
You were a husband, father, uncle, cousin, grandfather, friend, and the epitome of a real man.
As a warrior
© By David Kweun
I am a warrior who holds the key to my path
For it is I to choose left or right
I can clear the hindrances and obstacles
With the right belief and strength
For such warrior, there is no fear, and no holding back. I know as a warrior, I do not give up, but go to the path I chose. Right or wrong. For I have a purpose.
For that reason I live.
Battles I face each day of my life.
I have more losses than wins
But as a warrior in life I know that
The only way to success and salvation
Is failure. For I now know, to beat the enemy. I must endure and be in defeat
As a warrior, there is no success at all times. For at defeat of my enemies I then hold advantage. I have suffered, and endured defeat. For this time I will not make the same mistakes, and stand back up against them all. As a warrior I desire more to fail. So I'll be able to see my wrong and learn tactics to defeat my enemies. For I know failure is not the end, but delineates the area I have lacked in my battles. For I am a true warrior!
Heart of a Soldier
© By Jordyn L. Smith
I'm daddy's little girl,
I'm daddy's little soldier.
Even though I don't show it,
I'm always getting older.
Id love to stay little,
I'd love to stay small.
but I have to much responsibility,
I can't just slip and fall.
I'm thirteen years old now,
but I act as if I were thirty.
I do this only,
to hide my pain and hurting.
I think I'm in love,
Because I want to be.
I want to have a relationship,
a man that gets down on one knee.
I dream of a fantasy life,
I know I cant live.
I'm gonna have to work for what i get,
and in return I'm going to give.
I'm a soldier,
hiding it all.
the heart of a soldier,
who WONT let myself fall!
The Road I Have Traveled
© By Regina J. Broker
The road I have Traveled.
Bridges I have crossed.
I've gone the extra mile,
I've come to many stops.
I had a few road blocks,
toward what I thought,
could be the end.
But had to be brought back
a mile or two again.
So when closure comes,
I do know what it will mean.
I'll finally have peace of mind,
I'll be able to feel,think, and breathe
I probably won't believe it.
I'll think it is all a dream.
And although the journey will have ended.
I'll never forget What I've learned along the way,
or how I learned to take it day by day.
