He had a home and brand new cars and money in the bank, But pressures of maintaining it is probably why he drank. He drank to keep his sanity and ease his worried mind, But even after worry left he still drank all the time. His friends would say they understood why he had one or two, But many nights he heard them say what's gotten into you? You do not drink to ease your mind it's not that hard to see, You lost control and now you drink to flee reality.

It Is Then You Hear The Hush" I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee"-Hebrews 13: 5 What happens after the funeral is over and the guests have all gone to their individual homes, leaving the grieving one to carry on with his or her life? Of course, this has to happen. People have to get back to their lives. It isn ’ t expected of anyone to stop living because a friend has died. As the saying goes," Life must go on" We have all lost loved ones. It is a painful, but inevitable part of life. I remember years ago when my husband and I lost a dear one.

The birds were chirping a little tune To express the joy of spring. The squirrels scampered up the tree To listen to them sing. My hair flew around me Bouncing on the breeze. It played with the branches And scattered pretty leaves. I sighted a person. She came and sat by me. A table was beside the bench And she poured two cups of tea. She handed over one to me And we sat, silent and still. Then I turned with my cup in hand And said, Some cream, if you will? We sipped and we whispered And we shooed away the flies, And I thought it so very nice To talk to my friend outside. As the dimming sun receded, And the birds songs came to an end, I ...

We're happy for them, but, we still feel alone! Then happy memories start funny stories we can tell. Tell Greta, I think of them often, and always wish them well! Your children are how old? My word!

Once you've let one into your heart, There's no better friend to be found; I thank God for the dogs He sent, I sure love having them around. Man may be made in God's image, But the dog is His reflection; Without a shadow of a doubt, They are nearer to perfection. It's said, only the good die young, That's too fitting in a dog's case; Let a canine become your friend, Don't let all their love go to waste. I don't think it was a mistake, The mirror image of the spelling; G O D in reflection is D O G, Yet, it's a theory I'm telling. But, it makes so much sense to me, They're more loving than us, they are; I ...

A friend of mine told me today, All that I need to do is pray. She said it would ease the pain, And so much peace I would gain. I considered what my friend had said, I prayed to God laying in my bed. After I prayed I felt such peace, All my troubles seem to cease. I never dreamed this could ever be, That God would love someone like me.

I prayed that He would let you know, That He will never let you go. That He'd pour blessings down on you, And make your grey skies turn to blue. I prayed that God would give you rest, And that He'd answer your request. I asked the Lord to touch your soul, Fill you with hope and make you whole.

Everyone Needs Someone People need people and friends need friends And we all need love for a full life depends Not on vast riches or great acclaim, Not on success or on worldy fame, But just in knowing that someone cares And holds us close in their thoughts and prayers-For only the knowledge that we're understood Makes everyday living feel wonderfully good, And we rob ourselves of life's greatest need When we" lock up our hearts" and fail to heed The outstretched hand reaching to find A kindred spirit whose heart and mind Are lonely and longing to somehow share Our joys and sorrows and to make us aware That life's completeness and richness depends On the things we share with our loved ones and friends.

Find hope within your grieving heart, Lift up your chin with pride, A true mans worth is only known, When his friends are by his side.

The barriers are all torn down, And hearts are open wide. I ’ ve never felt this way before, Or loved so much to share. I guess it ’ s just because I know, That he does really care. I talk to others in my life, The friends I have are fine. What mystifies me most of all, Is this one is on-line. His words are all so perfect, When we sit alone and chat. He knows my heart inside and out, He knows just where I ’ m at. He understands my every thought, He understands my ways, And he is all I think about, When going through my days. At work I sit and watch the clock, Waiting to take flight, Because I ...

92. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- HOPE. [Poems]
... HOPE I spent each day, just searching, For my purpose here in life, And still I could not seem to find, A reason to survive. I struggled through my childhood, Without a loyal friend, And every single broken heart, Just never seemed to mend. My parents didn ’ t have the time, To tell me that they cared, They never came to comfort me, Those nights when I was scared. They told me I should toughen up, Don ’ t cry, and be a man, And when my life soon fell apart, They couldn ’ t understand. I turned to anything I could, To bury all my pain, And when my glass fell empty, I ’ d fill it up again. And over the years I drifted through, Many different towns, Longing to find something, To turn my life around. I spent each night, alone and cold Hungry and ashamed, Desperate ...

You were the kindness from a friend, who offered to share a breakfast treat. Your love was with me this day, As I saw You in so many things. I'm thankful you came my way; Oh what a comfort that brings. No matter where I may roam. You keep me safe from harm. You guide my way back home. I feel so loved and warm.

122. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- Reality. [Poems]
... Reality Briars and thorns do snag and tear thee all along the narrow way; Which do fester and delay thee in thy walk from day to day. Uneven path doeth trip thee often in thy journey throughout life; Trials, placed there by adversary, take their toll, exact a price. Friend and foe alike assail thee for decisions thou hast made; Leave thee bruised, forlorn, forsaken, unsupported, oft betrayed. Weary feet move slowly onward, heavy heart in depths of gloom; Struggling, falling, heavy laden, expecting naught but dreary tomb. But then HIS voice calls out unto thee, gently urging" Follow me, take thy cross and follow onward; for I have trodden where thou be" And in the joy of thy companion, God the Spirit, blessed friend, pain recedes, black night departed; Only matters pleasing HIM.

... he will" pop the question" as they celebrate. They have talked about it in a joking sort of way, But serious enough that they know what each one will say. She has a sense of humor and he knows just what to do, Because they share so many things he also has one too. They have so much in common and they have right from the start, Everything from sense of humor to a loving heart. What a pair their friends have said, no one could find it odd, Because you two are very much like two peas in a pod. You laugh and joke and just enjoy all that this life can give, We'll never see two more like you as long as we will live. If ever two belonged together it must be your fate, Now we understand the term when people say" soulmate" She smiles again and feels so warm, he is a handsome man, Nobody ever made ...

... Let It Snow I stand alone to greet your friends, a smile upon my face. Through stormy weather I stand firm and never leave my place. I don't go to the dentist though my teeth are black as coal. My clothes are kind of skimpy and it's chilly-Bless my soul! My pipe's gone out, but I don't mind, they say that smoking's dumb, and by the way, a carrot nose is a drier nose than some! Sometimes it's lonely, dark and cold and I'd love to go inside, But things aren't always what they seem and my wish must be denied. The ones who made me know what's best for a man who's made of snow. They know I would melt quite away if in the house I'd go. Now listen to these words, my friends: Your Maker knows what's best-When your life seems cold and hard, He'll help you pass the test. Just stand your ...

You only care about yourself, If you don't care where something's made; You're lacking patriotic pride, Now your economy has paid. Americans losing jobs and homes, And you, my friends, are the ones to blame; Don't point your fingers at Washington, It's YOU who should hang your heads in shame. Bring my old slogan back again, The one made famous years ago; In times of war it helped to save, And THIS IS WAR, I'll have you know! Yes, my friends, again I WANT YOU! But this time in a different way; FELLOW AMERICANS, I WANT YOU, TO BUY WHAT'S MADE IN THE U.S.A. ...

If every moment looked after itself and good things always went to the strong; If nobody cared just a little about you and nobody cared at all about me, and we stood alone, in the battle of life, What a dreary old world this would be. Life is sweet, because of friends we've made and the things which in common we share. We want to live on, not because of ourselves, but because of the people who care. It is doing and giving for somebody else on which all of life's splendor depends. The joy of this world, when you sum it up, is found in the making of friends.

Quite right you are, Sir, it is true: big and beautiful are you, but you are also unprotected and now it seems you've been selected as Sparrow's meal this very eve. Can you the danger here perceive? Yes friend, I can see I'm wrong, but I have been a worm so long; I've grown quite comfortable this way, and this old body's made of clay.

We may have many problems, That turn our hearts away, But trusting in His promises, Will keep the devil away. We seek Him when we're troubled, We need compassion as we grow, And He surely will help us, His kindness to bestow. It may not be tomorrow, There's lessons to be learned, We may have to cross a raging river, That always brings greater concern. But when we finally conquer, The bumps in Life's road, We will have our Savior's peace, And gone is our heavy load. He is our Rock, our Safety net, His arms are open wide, He invites us ...

It seems that life is like a blanket of the fallen snow, Accumulated through the years, to make life as we know. Friends and loved ones came to us as with the pretty flakes, One at a time, each beautiful, to mold our lives and fates. Some come into our lives to stay as snowflakes on the lawn, But others like the pavement snowflakes, quickly they were gone. Each had an impact on our lives as they would come and go, To help create our scene of life, as freshly fallen snow. We loved each snowflake as it fell, not knowing of ...

Stormy nights, warm sunny days, Universal colors all entwined, Reminds of God's awesome promises, Created by His wise design. When you see a rainbow, It will take your breath away. Bow in joyful thanksgiving, Our Savior's love is on display.~Eva May Young~ ...

Along with pride came my will, I never thought he would show And as others tried to enter, I knew they would have to go.

204. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- Take Time. [Poems]
... Take Time We don't know our span of life, For God ordains our days. Our earthly life is but a breath, A vapor that fades away. So take time to say" I love you ", To your family and friends. For life is so uncertain, We know not when it ends. Take time to enjoy creation. God designed it for you and me. The sun, the stars, the silvery moon, The mountains, plains and seas. The beauty of spring and autumn, With colors so brilliant and bold. Sultry summers, so bright and blue, And winters so white and cold. Trees, flowers and butterflies, The birds, both great and small. Creatures of every shape and size, Our Lord created them all. God created for man a paradise. Through temptation, man cast it away. When sin entered the Garden of Eden, Perfection was tainted that day. But God loves man ...

Talking of tomorrow as the evening passes by, Things that you won't do again and new things you will try. Sitting by the campfire as you reminese a story, Just enjoying nature in it's splendor and it's glory. Sharing the adventure with your friends that love it too, And listening to their own adventures that they're telling you. Nothing in the world you do can ever match with this, Unless it is your other passion when you go to fish. Fishing is a different love that is among your ranks, In a boat that's trawling or if casting from the banks. Fishing is another passion and another time, But always looking for the big one even on a line. Different campfire different stories on a different ...

As we ate breakfast feeling guilty that we did not go, We decided we should go and let that preacher know. They had a later service and it started at eleven, We really should go tell the preacher Na Na's now in Heaven. So we got ...

But especially he yearned for his partner -his wife. He said," Why? Tell me why, God? Oh, why am I here? Away from the things that I held so dear? What did I do to deserve all this pain? Oh, when will I get back my freedom again ?" As he watched with envy a bird soar in the sky, God flashed him a message from heaven on high: He said," Son, you are free, just as free as that bird, If you trust in the promises of My precious WORD"" But they want me to say I committed the crime. If I but admit it, they'll shorten my time. But I cannot confess it.... Oh, ...

The tears we've shed are Life's sweet rain; its flowers spring from strife, And trials and tribulations are the mortar in this Life. The stress and strain upon our souls unite to make us strong, Cares and struggles light the way -when our road is dark and long. So thank Him for His bounty, for our families and our friends, And for granting us forgiveness -when we must make amends. But recall God's other blessings -for their merit's oft untold, Praise God for loving you enough -to help you build the road. For giving you the tools you'll need -mortar, bricks and stones, For the path that leads to Heaven and the stairway to His home.

I want to tell others of His great love, So they too will ask Him in! When my life on Earth is ready to end, And I will no longer roam, I pray that my family and friends will say," Oh. Look! She's almost home !" [by Dot Wilson Copyright 2003-submitted by: Dot Wilson] Inspirational Poems SkyWriting.Net All Rights Reserved. ...
... But the ringing of the register is all you hear. Stop I say! now stop this madness slow it to a crawl, There's absolutely nothing wrong with shopping at the mall, There's nothing wrong with giving gifts it has been done forever, But don't get so caught up that you miss Christmas altogether. Now while you still have the time just plan your holiday, Time for love and time for laughter and take time to pray. Time for family and for friends and all those you hold dear, That is what it's really all about this time of year. Take the time to share your love and then take time for YOU, Take the time to just sit quietly and then review. Review the blessings that you have and all of those you love, Remember all the blessings that you have came from above. The running, shopping, cooking, presents, parties and the food, Are all a part of Christmas and the ...

When hope is almost vanished, And all your friends have left, Then-If you are very still, You will hear them. Whispers in the darkness, Feathers in the snow, Light at the tunnels end, Showing where to go. Did you think He'd leave you? In your darkest hour? Angels on assignment Holding up your arms. Scent of precious incense Fragrance in the air, Feel the breeze of heaven, Know that they are here. A glimpse of light, A sudden sparkle Somewhere out there In the dark. The car that almost Hit us, But something held it back. The child that fell, With none to tell, But still no cut or bruise Angels come at midnight When all else has failed For they are God's secret Guardian of our souls. Thank you Jesus for my ...

... A Change In My Life Oh man, I love watching movies, I think they are really groovy. Would Jesus sit & watch with me, R rated movies, and PG, Most my friends are one of a kind, They love to gossip all the time. Oh my, I just thought of something, Jesus hates this sort of thing. My boss man gives me a hard time, I want to give him a piece of my mind Another thought has come to be, Would Jesus treat my boss like me. I sure don't like getting out of bed, Come Sunday morning it's a dread. What if our Jesus He did not feel, Like dying for us on calvary's hill. I sure do like to go out and eat, I go sometimes twice a week. Many times you'd hear me cry, 'Coz I can't afford to give my tithe. The message I am telling here, I need not explain ...

Some of you mothers are grandmothers too, So your days for teaching children are certainly not through. Grandchildren love grandmothers and need them you see, To love them and teach them and their friend to be. Thank God you're a mother and enjoy today, And know that we mean all the good things we say. We love you and need you every day of the year, And we're glad to express it when Mother's Day is here. We tell God we're thankful for each one of you, But so often we're neglectful and forget to tell you. So as children or grandchildren or as husbands too, We say and we mean," MOTHERS, WE ...

... Butterflies For Jesus This year I finally realized, my relationship with God, had only been a friendship, which was not at all that odd. Not knowing what was missing, I didn't have a clue, my feelings now have changed, the love I feel brand new. The more I learn about Him, the closer that I feel, He has a plan just for me, I want to do His will. We all want a love, to call our very own, I truly am in love with Him, His love for me He has shown. A little fire once burned dim, now that flame burns bright, His spirit fills me deep inside, I feel Him day and night.

... Christmas at Rock-Away Rest 'Twas the night before Christmas at Rock-Away Rest, and all of us seniors were looking our best. Our glasses, how sparkly, our wrinkles, how merry; Our punchbowl held prune juice plus three drops of sherry. A bedsock was taped to each walker, in hope That Santa would bring us soft candy and soap. We surely were lucky to be there with friends, Secure in this residence and in our Depends. Our grandkids had sent us some Christmasy crafts, Like angels in snowsuits and penguins on rafts. The dental assistant had borrowed our teeth, And from them she'd crafted a holiday wreath. The bed pans, so shiny, all stood in a row, Reflecting our candle's magnificent glow. Our supper so festive-the joy wouldn't stop-Was creamy warm oatmeal with sprinkles on top. Our salad was Jell-O, so jiggly and great, Then puree of fruitcake was spooned on each plate. The ...

My God knows all that's happening; Beginning to the end; His presence is my comfort; He is my dearest Friend. When sickness comes to weaken me, To bring my head down low, I call upon my mighty God; Into His arms I go. When circumstances threaten to rob me of my peace; He draws me close unto His breast, Where all my strivings cease. When my heart melts within me, and weakness takes control; He gathers me into His arms, He soothes my heart and soul. The great" I AM" is with me. My life ...

... A Sinner's Plea As the days went by so fast, I wondered if my strength would last. I was weary and in distress, wondering how I got in this mess. Every day I struggled to win, Facing each day with my sin. Sorrow and shame was my lot, Misery and fear was what I got, Not a friend could be found, My heart and soul was so bound. What had I done to deserve all this, Something had happened I was amiss. Who could I turn to in my despair, Was there anyone who would care? What could they do to help me, There's not anyone that I can see. I was tired of trying to hold on, most of my strength was already gone. Just in time I found my way, Something happened that very day, God sent someone to rescue me, He cast my sins into the sea, I was told the story, of ...
304. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- A Simple Hug. [Poems]
... A Simple Hug There's something in a simple hug That always warms the heart; It welcomes us back home And makes it easier to part. A hug's a way to share the joy And sad times we go through, Or just a way for friends to say They like you 'cause you're you. Hugs are meant for anyone For whom we really care, From your grandma to your neighbor, Or a cuddly teddy bear. A hug is an amazing thing-It's just the perfect way To show the love we're feeling But can't find the words to say. It's funny how a little hug Makes everyone feel good; In every place and language, It's always understood. And hugs don't need new equipment, Special batteries or parts Just open up your arms And open up your hearts. Keep this hug going Pass it on to your buddies.

The sole consolation To his self-imposed pace, Was that he was 'providing, So why couldn't he face? Two growing children And the one he had wed. He didn't really know them Or so she had said. Then in one surreal moment It all came to an end, Gone-his sweet children Gone-his best friend. But more news arrived, An employee reduction No more 'life-as-he-knew-it ' 'Twas an easy deduction The void then rushed back The one 'work ' tried to fill.

... A Balanced Life My life has been balanced with pleasures and trials, I've had many teardrops and thousands of smiles. I've soared to the moon and I've plunged to the sand, My life has been balanced by God's loving hand.

But I can be sure and you can be, too, All things work for best as God deals with you.

The sky grew black in the middle of the day, everyone fell on their knees to pray. For now all knew He was God's Son, and what an awful thing they had done.

I can visit a lonely Senior, telephone a grieving friend. I can cook something special, a relationship to mend. I can mow a neighbor's lawn, or help clean up after a storm. Or give an extra blanket, to help keep the homeless warm. Jesus said when we do this, we are doing it for Him. and we will be rewarded, Life on His side is never grim.

Your tiny little bitsy fist, Wrapped tight around my thumb, The trust you placed upon me, Struck me completely dumb. How awesome was your little smile That spoke of your dreams to me, So trusting as you slowly nursed, So dependant, relaxed and free. Committed I myself to you, As protector, friend and guide, And watched you grow, a tender shoot, Close ever by my side. How shocked was I when the death angel came And bore you to heaven ’ s home, To fill a spot in God ’ s own heart, And with Jesus talk and roam.

LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF" That's what the Scriptures say. Yet it's never to late to help another, As we take time to kneel and pray. When we follow God's instructions, Our love will pave the way. To happiness ...

... I Am Here I was sitting alone at home one day My Spiritual life at an emergency low. So many I love have gone from my life, I felt I had no where my love to bestow.

I want others to know this feeling, For it is the greatest" high" Nothing can ever compare to it, So I don ’ t even try. The inner peace that I now have, I value more highly than gold. I don ’ t have many material things, But still I have riches untold. No closer friend could I possess, For He never leaves my side. When daily problems come my way, It ’ s Him in whom I confide. When I came to God ’ s attention, My life was filled with mistakes and discord, His justice couldn ’ t dismiss my sin, But His mercy was my reward. When He sacrificed His only Son, The gates of hell to me were closed. Instead heaven ’ s gates swung open to me, When Jesus, ...

377. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- Inside Out. [Poems]
... bubbling to the surface, Bringing joy, and sometimes fears. You love other people, But this seems so different. You cannot control it, And it's nothing to resent. Sometimes at night, you sit and wonder, How can this thing be? How can someone, I've never seen, Have this effect on me? What is it, about this love, That we can't comprehend? When all we tried to do at first, Was have a cyber friend. I've thought about it many times, And how we make contact. With other people in the world, And how we all react. I realized, that meeting people, Is a major goal. And in the world we live in, It is always physical. We are all attracted first, By how they look to you. You can say," That's not important ," But, you know it's true. That is where it all begins, They're pleasant ...
... me and others he will never match his wife. So as I think about my life and how my days shall be, I love the fact that I can do what ever pleases me. Maybe I will find a job or maybe I'll sleep in, Maybe I will call my husband and have lunch with him. Maybe I will just go shopping at the local mall, Maybe I will just stay home and do nothing at all. Maybe I will call some friends just to reminisce, Maybe I will just sit here and savor all of this. I start to feel some guilt creep in like I am being lazy, I wonder now if all this freedom might just drive me crazy. But then I hear my husband's words echo in my mind, You have earned this freedom now enjoy your extra time. I have the time, I have the freedom, and I have my health, I have my husband's blessing just to go ...
... use a plastic fork, When it is time to eat. He has a modest little house, But has all that he needs. He keeps his lawn cut nice and short, He even trims his weeds. He works long hours at his job, To make an average pay. And even if he's sick or tired, He goes to work each day. His job is just a factory job, His pay just makes ends meet. But a few good friends and family, Make his life complete. He's not well versed in poetry, Theater or the arts. And wisdom is not something, That he constantly imparts. He loves the simple things in life, For riches doesn't thirst. He knows what is important, And his family is put first. The wealth that God has given him, To treasure in his life, A loving son and daughter, And a very special wife. He never has much money, And ...

For years, after the kids had grown and they had moved away, Alone they shared their Christmas Eves until his dying day. They both had lived a long full life and enjoyed every minute, With all their friends and family and the love they shared within it. Every Christmas Eve for years they settled by the tree, And he would smile and say to her," well babe it's you and me"" It is the way that we began way back when we first started, And now again it's you and me since all the kids have parted. But, babe he'd say it is so sweet, to just have you and me, Just sitting here so warm and cozy looking at our tree" He would always play the Christmas music soft and low, And ...

382. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- Is Hell A Joke? [Poems]
... Is Hell A Joke? I went into my classroom Ready for another year at school. I didn't want the work, Just wanted to hang and be cool. I had on new clothes, New sneaks on my feet. I was there for class on time, Went to the back and took my seat. Yeah, I'm moving up. I'm already grown. Soon I'll be graduating, And out on my own. I talked to some of my friends, We were all having fun. Said some things I shouldn't have said, Did stuff I shouldn't have done. I knew I was different. I felt God touch my heart. I knew I should set a standard, But then I'd be set apart. Walking to the bus, I was not looking for gate, I heard the car tires screeching, But now it's too late. I'm standing in this room, And I can see the heavenly gate. Oh no ...
