These are poems I have wrote and friends of mine have given to me. Please read and pass on to your friends and family.
We met and became friends
And then it became more
I led you to my open door
You laid with me in my bed
While sweet dreams of you ran through my head
Now that you have left
I can only dream
That in time you will be more than a dream
I knew when I met you it could grow
If only you would let me know
So in my dreams you will always be there
How I wish you would only care
Life goes on as it may
Even though your far away
The distance between the two of us
It never has to be a must
For you can come straight to me
For all my love will forever be
So if only you would see
The love you would receive straight from me
The love inside forever grows
For the one I want to know
So for now I will go
Only to hope you will want to know
You cross the path of someone so dear
You live and laugh, You have no fear
You fall in love and your feelings grow
For you let all your true feelings flow
Then comes the day they are all taken away
For your life becomes sad that very day.
Your life you wish you could just take away
You don't want to live anymore
For there seems there's nothing to live for
But in time your life seems to grow
Your friends are there to let you know
For you are the person that will really grow
For the one that can hurt and turn away
Will end up alone in life anyway
You grow and learn to laugh and smile
For you have walked that long sad mile
When love is strong and love is true
You know in your heart you will never be blue
But then one day when they are through
Your heart turns a deep shade of blue
Your heart can't handle all the pain
You sit and cry and wonder why
Things always have to be this way
Love to some is just a game
But to you love is a true feeling just the same
You love and care and give it your all
To some it's just a feeling, to deep to fall
They tell you they love you but really they don't
For they know in their heart they never won't
They play the game and take what they can
While in their heart they know their not a true man
So on they move to another one
To see if they can use their heart,
To break it like glass and let it fall apart.
So hold your heart close and don't let go
For tomorrow there will be another
The game will be played, Your heart they will break
It will shatter to pieces and fall apart
You will be left alone to play the part
Putting it back together won't be easy
But in life's lessons you will learn
The part you play was a true and loving feeling
For you to know it will be their loss
For the bridges they burn
They will never again be able to cross.
If you are ever going to love me,
Love me now, While I can know
The sweet and tender feeling
Which from true affection flow.
Love me now while I am living.
Do not wait until I'm gone
And then have it chiseled in marble
Sweet words on ice - cold stone.
If you wait until I'm sleeping,
Never to awaken
There will be death between us
And I won't ever hear you then.
So if you love me, even a little bit,
Let me know it while I'm living
So I can treasure it.
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To reach out to another is to risk involvement
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self
To place your idea or dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss
To love is to risk not being loved in return
To live is to risk dying
To hope is to risk despair
To try is to risk failure
But risks must be taken. The greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
Those who risk nothing, do nothing, have nothing, are nothing.
They may avoid suffering, But they cannot learn, feel, grow and live.
Chained by their certitudes, They have forfieted their freedom.
Only people who risk are free.
If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute or two to
stop and say " I LOVE YOU ", instead of assuming, you would know I do.
If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day...
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
So I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an over sight,
And we always get a second chance to make everything right.
There will always be another day to say our " I LOVE YOU'S "
And certainly there's another chance to say our " ANYTHING I CAN DO'S ?"
But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I LOVE YOU and I hope we never forget,
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight...
So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day.
That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss,
And you were too busy to grant someone,
What turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold yor loved ones close today,
Whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them and that you will always hold them dear.
Take the time to say " I'M SORRY ", " PLEASE FORGIVE ME ", " THANK YOU "
or " IT'S OKAY "
And if tomorrow never comes,
You'll have no regrets about today.
