Only Short Poems

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann’d:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

I said a prayer for you today
And know God must have heard.
I felt the answer in my heart
Although he spoke no word!

I didn’t ask for wealth or fame
(I knew you wouldn’t mind).
I asked him to send treasures
Of a far more lasting kind!

I asked that he be near you
At the start of each new day;
To grant you health and blessings
And friends to share your way!

I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small.
But it was for his loving care
I prayed the most of all!

So much wrong goes on in this world but still we drop bombs.
All my heroes are already dead so there’s no reason to be calm.
People obssess themselves with murder but forget about the truth on the way.
It’s like we’re all the sheep being fed lies through the hay.
Every body got two eyes open but their third eyes blind.
It’s time to free yourself soul, body and mind.

There are so many children in our class
It is hard to choose a friend
we make friends by, playing
laughing and talking
when a new friend comes
we let our old friend go away
And when the old friend comes back
we let the new friend go away

A fight is a fight
A friend is a friend
A fight took over us
I thought it was the end
Every night when I turned out the light
I felt more tears one by one they turned my life into fear
I steer into darkness, not knowing what to do
But then I thought and I knew that all I needed was you
I rang you up and apologized, water sprinkling down our eyes
Then we said through the phone
A fight is a fight
A friend is a friend
Never in our life will we fight again
For a friend is stronger then a fight
But what’s even stronger is what we are… best friends for life

a friend can stick by your side,
a friend is there through roller coaster rides,
a friend is like a sister, whom never goes away,
a friend is hyper with you, sad, and gay,
even if she isn’t ’stuck to your hip’,
she is still your friend,
never let go, hold on,
even when she is gone,
she is still there, you just can’t see her,
through thick and thin,
and ‘coaster rides again,
she is there, never let go,
NEVER LET GO…

To a friend so dear
And to a friend who’s always here
There will be no gear
Can fear to a friend so dear

To a friend who care
And never felt fair
There would be an ear
Who can always hear

To a friend who dare
And always been scare
Drop your tears
And repair your years

you are that kind of a jewel to me,
who is as precious as the,
diamond which sinked,
when the titanic sanked.

you are that kind of a star,
that always sparkles and,
looks different from others.
you are that star with whom,
i sometimes talk,
when i am sad.

you are that talking picture to me,
with whom i talk,
when i fell awkward to say,
something in front of you.

You may not have stood beside me
or touched my hand each day
but I knew that you were with me
each step along the way.

Your prayers and thoughts and glances
meant more than you will know
’cause I keep them down deep in my heart
and feel the love aglow.

It’s there for me to rekindle
to light the path I take
It guides me,holds me, rocks me,
each morning I awake.

I knew that you’d be with me
each step along the way
’cause GOD gave you to me,with love
to keep my fears at bay.
