Awaiting Little You

Coming into my world, is what I long await

Nine months have passed so slowly, giving you and me time to relate.

Your arrival will give wings to us, changing couple to sweet family,

Bonding us all in our lifetimes as the two of us become three.

I have read to you lines of poetry to develop your love of verse,

I have sung to you songs and hymns I love, to quench your spiritual thirst.

I have spoken to you of family and the world they mean to me,

All of whom will surround you soon, this beautiful new baby to see.

I have spoken to you of our home and the warmth and love you will bring,

may you always know your importance here and how your laughter will make my heart sing.

I have spoken to you of God, the joy and hope He gives to my heart,

praying that you, too, will discover the richness His love imparts.

Little baby you just can't imagine wondrous blessings as your life begins,

the greatest blessings that will be bestowed upon you, are the blessings of family and friends.

Shutting down the computer

When I was a little toddler,
I played a computer game.
’Winnie the Pooh and the
Scary Monster’ was its name.

At that time I did not know how
to shut down the computer
And so, I got my brainy brother
to become my tutor.

At last, I learned exactly how to
shut computers down,
which means that I could shut it down
when no one is around.

One day, when I played the game
strange things were happening.
My computer went ‘ping’ and ‘pong’ and
’ding’ and ‘dong’ and ‘bing!

I guessed it was a virus or
a Trojan or a worm.
It made lots of annoying noise
and then began to squirm!

I think I really need a
brainier computer tutor.
I need to know exactly how
to shut up the computer!

Poems for children - Why Not Me Instead Of You

Losing a child is I'm sure the hardest ordeal any parent can go through. Beautiful poem!

Grieve for your loss...

When Children Pray

Children only kneel when some incident causes great fear
Children only cry when they feel alone and threatened
Children live by a strong faith that is scare these days
Children will bare any type of pain if they feel it will ease the hate

And those times when children pray those times are when god can do nothing but, obey
Children the ask for happiness and they are the light of day
Yet we let millions of these treasures starve for attention
Children look at war but, look away
Its times like these when children prayers save the day

In this world of lost souls what more could one wish for than just pure hope
They are bright as stars that glitter
And all they shed is grace
With sticky fingers from exploring the juices mother earth bares

And their innocence laying bare
And simple truths spew from their rosy lips
Children pray but only when they can feel the end is near
And their love is a sudden rush that only causes forgiveness

Perfect smiles they wear upon their face
And children never hold any disgrace
Light shallow dreams of making the world a better place
When children kneel that is for which they will pray

Children only pray when in doubt
And their voices portray light fears
All a child wants to see is the new day break
And when that thought is threatened children kneel and pray

Childhood

Childhood is rare 
Unlike a bear
Childhood is fun
Unlike eating a bun

Childhood is like fire
Like the excitment of getting hired
Childhood is like honey
Like a hopping bunny

Appreciate childhood 
Like when you first stood

Appreciate childhood...

Meatloaf

My mother made a meatloaf
but I think she made it wrong.
It could be that she cooked it
just a little bit too long.

She pulled it from the oven;
and we all began to choke.
The meatloaf was on fire
and the kitchen filled with smoke.

The smoke detectors squealed
at all the flaming meatloaf haze.
My father used his drink
to try extinguishing the blaze.

Mom shrieked and dropped the meatloaf;
it exploded with a boom,
and splattered blackened globs on
every surface in the room.

The dog passed out. The kitten hid.
My brother screamed and fled.
The baby ate a piece of meatloaf
sticking to her head.

My father started yelling
and my sister went berserk.
But I kept cool and said, "at least
our smoke detectors work."

Thank You Daughter

Thank you daughter for the gift you gave to me
A happier grandfather there never will be

This beautiful little girl, so tiny, so small
Brought joy to my life, smiles to us all.
I see you in her face and her eye's so blue
This little girl is a carbon copy of you

And just like you, she will grow O so fast
These precious moments you know wont last
Cherish every second, every minute, every day
You'll be astounded by how fast time fly’s away

I know a wonderful mother you will surely be
As wonderful as the daughter you have been to me
There are no words on earth or up above
That for you and Keelin can express my Love

Penalty Kick

Overtime.
Golden Goal.
As I place the ball in a circle,
I think about where I should place the shot.

top left
bottom left
top right
bottom right

I wait for the whistle
my team is silent
but the crowd is roaring

pressure is on
nerves rush through me

suddenly the crowd silences
the whistle blows

I sprint toward the ball
the crowd stands

my shot

swift
quick
hard
and low right

the keeper dives for the ball
I turn my head
don’t even watch
I know
I won the game.

Count that Day Lost

If you sit down at set of sun 
And count the acts that you have done, 
And, counting, find
One self-denying deed, one word

That eased the heart of him who heard, 
One glance most kind
That fell like sunshine where it went -
Then you may count that day well spent 

But if, though all the livelong day, 
You've cheered no heart, by yea or nay -
 If, through it all
You've nothing done that you can trace

That brought the sunshine to one face -
No act most small
That helped some soul and nothing cost -
Then count that day as worse than lost. 

By George Eliot

Baby

Baby let me love u till the end
Baby my heart is urs
Baby let me touch u all over
Baby can I kiss ur lips

Baby when I look at u I see another world in ur eyes
Baby I'm tha man that can take u where u need and want to go
Baby please let's go and don't say no
Baby this is my last cry
Baby make love to me till the end of time

A childhood forgotten, a childhood lost

I can't remember,
Skipping rocks on the pond, 
My childhoods forgotten, 
My Childhoods lost, 

Going to the lake, 
Sitting on the beach, 
Playing with friends, 
or dancing in the streets, 

I can't remember, 
The crash in the fog, 
My childhood was forgotten, 
My childhood was lost, 

The doctor doing surgery, 
Me getting pills, 
I can't remember any of it, 
None of it's clear, 

I still can't remember, 
How it is gone, 
My childhood forgotten, 
My childhood's lost! 

Well I'm gonna end it right now, 
I gonna kill myself off, 
A childhood Forgotten, 
A childhood lost

Authors Note: 
Written for a friend who forgot her childhood, and committed suicide because of it.

Snake Mistake

One morning in my bedroom
I was startled by a snake,
so I picked him up and took him out
and threw him in the lake.

He returned a minute later,
meaning, no, he didn't drown,
so I put him on my bicycle
and rode him out of town.

It was hardly half an hour
till he turned up in my room,
so I packed him in a parcel
and I shipped him to Khartoum.

When I found him back again
on the succeeding afternoon
I went looking for a way that
I could blast him to the moon.

When I couldn't find a rocket
it was then I knew that, dang,
a snake is yours forever
once he eats your boomerang.

Get Me Out of the Fish Tank

(to the tune of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game")

Get me out of the fish tank.
Get me out of this bowl.
I was just trying to catch the fish.
They looked tempting and awfully delish

but I slipped and fell in the fish tank
and now my future looks grim.
I just went to see and found out something:
Cat's don't swim.

Won't you give me a hand here?
All I need is a lift.
Help and I promise I won't come back.
I'll go elsewhere when I need a snack,

for I've learned a valuable lesson;
I know it's not safe in here,
and the next time I want the fish I'll bring
scuba gear!
