Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: I'll be fine: 1 of 153
I'll be fine.Born a month before my due,A premature and sickly child,Whose life expectancy was two,And mannerisms mild,Five operations to my heart,No mother's warmth or bond,Meant life had set my soul apart,Although I did respond.At five, I had not learned to walk,At six, not learned to read,At seven, would grunt instead of t...

Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenting Tips Developing compassion as a way of life for you and your children: 1 of 128
What better reward could there be for a parent than recognizing that they somehow instilled compassion in their children? Compassion is the foundation and cornerstone of successful interaction with others, and is vital to the happiness and balance of a human being.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Locked out your heart: 1 of 104
It wasn't easy locking out your heart,Though something that I felt I had to do,Aching with love, I found I fell apart,Although you weren't at fault, you never knew.How I would watch your smile, the flicker of your eyes,From distant places, noting every trace,It helped me sleep, like nature's lullabies,To see those warm expres...

Religion & Spirituality > Heaven, Hell & Afterlife What happens when we die?: 2 of 193
I believe that when we die, our soul comes back in a kind of neutral state until it finds another life to partake in. May sound weird, but it isn't. What strengthens my view is what I have experienced in my own life.1. I have had an out of body experience. I died and for a few moments could see clearly my own body on the bed.... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Best love poems: 6 of 568
Brittany MorningThe mists have cloaked the earth with their protection from the sunAnd dewsdrops hang on cobwebs, as the night-time hours are done.Like diamonds they hang in strands that soon will disappearWhen the brightest sun comes through the mist announcing day is hereThe fairies lurk beneath the flowers in gardens every...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Don't pity me: 2 of 147
Don't pity me as you walk past on steady feet,Or see my struggling with a narrow door,My wheelchair isn't who I am, I am complete,And need no pity from you any more.Don't pity me when you see limbs are gone,They were a part of who I was before,Life gently moves, and I too have moved on,And don't need legs to run on any more.D...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Helium.com: 1 of 69
When first I came to Helium, I had no thoughts of fame,I wrote my words onto a screen, and hid behind a name.It's easy to recall the fun, the newness and enjoyment,It took away a yearn within and helped with unemployment.From one word came another, and I formed each paragraph,With care, though conversational, I found the site...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Being overwhelmed: 2 of 135
There is no hope, at least not now,And would I listen anyhow,As all things cease to be,Controllable or in control,And life itself is less than whole,With such a broken me.I am not clear on what I feel,Or what is truth or what is real,There is no answer to it,For problems build within my mind,And no solution do I find,To help ...

Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study The Bible and its interpretation: 1 of 59
My take on the Bible - thoughts of a believer.I know that a lot of readers find the subject of the Bible a little uncomfortable and question, in their disbelief of God, the relevance of a book like this in their lives, and that many readers may also question my right to review such a book. I am not going to review in the trad... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Pumpkin pie: 1 of 55
Pumpkin Pie Some small and tempting to the waiting child,Some larger than the plate and overflowing,Brought in from gardens harvest in the wild,With every child participating, knowing~ Their mom is going to serve them a surprise,As in all autumn days, the best they've tasted,Which stands so proud before their waiting eyes,...
