A man stands on the street His dreams forever shattered His wife is dead, he feels so weak Left with four kids, his heart badly tattered She struggles each and everyday With a pain she's had all her life People stop and stare, the horrible things they say Just because she is handicapped, the pain they cause twists like a knife Some of us don't even wonder Some of us don't even care Why can't we accept each other Or do we not know how? Amazing how people still think color grants supremacy Or that a disability means your weak Why can't this world unite and find harmony Love and peace is all that I seek A old man forgotten by those he loves In the nursing home he awaits his last days Wishes he would die and be taken by the Lord to up above My heart hangs heavy in so many ways Some of us don't even wonder Some of us don't even care Why can't we accept each other Or do we not know how? I wish for this Earth a connection of the heart Where people can just be without living with fears We are all God's children, each came from the same start Maybe one day the pain will stop, and so will all the tears. I wanted to thank each and every single person at this forum who has ever posted a reply to my work, read my poems,or offered me a kind word. You ALL have touched my life in some way or another. Always and forever you will be a part of me. I humbly thank you. Passions started out as something I found by mistake,while surfing the net one day.It is now a huge part of my life and brings me much joy. Much of that is due to all of you fine folks. Love, ~Amy~ "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |

Amy, Congrats on your 1000 WOW what a post to mark it.... ----------- Some of us don't even wonder Some of us don't even care Why can't we accept each other Or do we not know how? I wish for this Earth a connection of the heart Where people can just be without living with fears We are all God's children, each came from the same start Maybe one day the pain will stop, and so will all the tears. ----------- beautiful sentiments expressed, you are a boon to this site so divine!!! Regards Sudhir My heart is pounding, my stomach's inside out I'm feeling kind-a-shaky, my mind is full of doubt All I ever think about, is fearing fear itself, Wish I could unscrew my head and put it on the shelf Everything is twisted, everything is oh so tight, Don't know what I'm looking at, the lights are all too bright My brain's about to crumble, spill out on the floor Sweep 'em up. Throw 'em away, don't want 'em anymore Clouds race across the sky, day turns into night, Still there are the questions, no answers in sight Everything is twisted, everything is oh so tight, Starin' out the window, everything is just too bright Brain's about to crumble, spill out on the floor, Wish I could unscrew my head, and kick it out the door... You know I'm feeling kind-a....Strange You know I'm feeling kind-a....Strange ~ Strange ~ Joe Satriani (Flying in a Blue Dream) |

Hey Amy... I thank you for your lovely poem. It makes you wonder if the world would be a better place if everyone was colorblind and could see beyond the shells we wear called "the color of our skin". Maybe then would we discover the beauty that lies beyond, in all our souls... I salute you  -nando- Ask me how to live your life, and this to you I´ll say: make your choises true and wise, so that when tomorrow will arise, you´ll smile at yesterday... |

Amy, I love this! I too found Passions by accident, and am so glad I did. And I'm so glad you did too. You have touched us too, you know, with poems just like this one. Lori ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean. Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens. Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance. And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance - I hope you dance. song by LeeAnn Womack ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

I wish for this Earth a connection of the heart Where people can just be without living with fears We are all God's children, each came from the same start Maybe one day the pain will stop, and so will all the tears. This is so lovely! I also found this forum by accident and so glad that I did. I have a long way to go before I reach 1000, (at about 50 now) but I have been truly inspired by the beautiful work I see here! Thank you, Debbie |
