Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: My son

5 of 146

As you grew from a child to a man, I wanted to be your mother and your friend My heart tell me I've failed at both. I wish I could start all over again. Could it be I wasn't there for you, To comfort you when you cried.? Of myself, did I not give enough? Please believe that I tried. In you sometimes I see myself And the pain... More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: The ocean

7 of 186

Trade winds carry The faint albatross call; As I look to the oceans Feeling enormously small. As I cast my gaze afar, Gentle ripples I see, So calmly and at peace They inch towards me. Their sways come and go Like a tune so refined. Then in an instance Their force is defined. Their anger seems endless Traveling down the shor... More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Worlds away

Forgiveness alludes me from wounds of long ago. Like angry waves of hurt It tosses me to and fro. My heart was broken, Our family torn apart. I just can't find the place Where forgiveness can start. My heart was open On our son's wedding day. I would see you with her And the pain might go away. But you were a coward, And wou... More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Pride

I happened upon this box Layered with dust and mold. How could I have ever known The treasure it would hold? I brushed away the dust And opened the box. There lay inside the secrets Of which we never talked. Inside were two small medals That told the story of a man Who wore those honors proudly. By his country he did stand. ... More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Regret

29 of 300

The quiet insignificance I felt in my past. Has kept me imprisoned; A dark shadow I've cast. In my mind the echoes That have haunted me "Don't stop till your perfect..." But I know I can't be. Why must I keep trying Even as I've grown old? There is no one to fear... Not one that will scold. Why does the fear linger I am wear... More..

Worn by the ocean And the sands of time. The beauty of a pearl Is a truly rare find. Unknown to us all Are the storms it has weathered. After all it has suffered There remains a great treasure. I found such a pearl .. When I was a child. She was my best friend; and my greatest admirer Her strength held me up When I could not... More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Childhood memories

Home from school, I would rush so fast To greet the aromas my home would cast. Mom in the kitchen with her apron so neat Making me cookies, welcome home treat. To the bedroom I'd run to see what you made For me and my doll's fashion parade. Never knowing the work and the time it took; To make all those dresses, even down to ... More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Facing the past

15 of 94

Long ago when I was very young, God entrusted me with two small sons. He said, "They are not yours to keep. But only yours to love and teach. I have loaned them to you to comfort and guide. To teach them of honor and release them with pride." He said, "I will be there from morning till dawn. To guide you and help you keep th... More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Fear

49 of 305

What if I had gone Down a different path. Down a road that lies Only in my past. Who would I be Now that it's too late. Where would I be Had I tempted fate? Useless questions I ask and wonder. The answers allude me As I sit and ponder. My clearest thoughts Only show the strife Caused by letting fear take control of my life. ... More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Who I am

85 of 364

She wonders who she is. She wonders where you are. She wonders if she'll ever know As she wishes upon a star. The woman you see now Is a child that lives within; Who has searched her world over For a love she needed then. And, if indeed, she finds it, Will it only be the shade Of dreams long cherished And into the mist will ... More..
