View the World Through my Heart
I don’t mean to make you cry.
I just want to pull your heartstrings,
touch your soul,
touch your heart,
and make you think.
I want you to view
the world in a different light.
I want to make you smile
and laugh.
If I can do that,
then my poetry
is not written in vain.
Then to me, my poetry is priceless
and worth more than gold.

The Problem With Being Childless

is that you will never
feel a baby’s heart beating
or move around inside you.
You will never have a chance to name a baby.
The problem with being childless
is that you will never hear
a baby’s first word,
you will never see
a baby’s first step
or watch him walk or crawl.
You will never have bragging rights
to tell your friends how cute
your baby is or what he did today.
You will never have a chance
to be proud as your baby
goes to school for the first time.
You will never watch a child
turn into a teenager.

have a mother-daughter talk
or mother-son talk
about life or help solve
his or her problems.

going to the school prom and/or school dance.
You will never have the privilege and
be proud to watch your teenager
graduating from high school.

Look on the bright side
you will never have to worry
about someone telling you
how to raise your child.
You will never have to worry
about a predator messing
with your child or worry
about your child being
missing, or runaway or being killed
or never have to worry about
your child taking drugs.
You will never have to worry about
going to jail because someone
has accused you of abusing your child.
Look on the bright side,
you have more time to have
a poetry book published
and you have more time to write.

The Priceless Gift of Friendship
The priceless gift of friendship
is a gift of only you can give.
Friendship can’t be bought,
traded or won
or forced on someone.
It can’t be wrapped up
in a fancy bow.
It doesn’t come with
a price tag
and it’s worth more than gold.
It is more precious
than material things.
It is being a friend
to someone in need
or who just wants a friend.
Oh what a joy it is
to give the priceless
gift of friendship
that came from your heart!
It is the priceless gift of friendship.

Writing Poetry
Writing poetry
is what I love to do.
It is part of me,
part of my life.
I can’t explain it.
Just give me
a pen and
paper,
I’ll be happy.
I’ll express my thoughts,
my feelings, my ideas,
using my imagination,
knowing,
I might touch
someone’s heart and soul.
Oh what a great feeling !
I thank God everyday
for giving me
this talent,
writing poetry.

A Tragedy
To defer one’s dream is a tragedy.
Time has ran out.
Another opportunity down the drain,
can’t recover it.
Gone! Gone! Gone!
Don’t let it happen to you.
