I went for a walk

To clear my troubled mind,

And to my surprise,

I looked down to find:

 

Found on Pinterest on 4-14-17. Blue Spider-wort. anniesannuals.com

A lovely blue flower

The color of the sky.

It was simply exquisite.

I could not pass by.

 

I sat on the ground and

I watched it for a while.

I swear by the stars,

I think I saw it smile.

 

It had three petals

Symmetrically placed,

And at it’s very center

God’s finger had traced, 

 

A heart of pure gold

That drew my soul in.

I could feel my heart beat

And my troubles rescind.

 

Found on Pinterest on 4-14-17. Saved from Wikimedia Foundation. Western Spider-wort/ Prairie Spider-wort. Hans Palta, Ph.d.

A peace flowed within me

As I joined with the flower.

I tarried there

For more than an hour.

 

As I got up  to leave,

My troubles went away.

Joy filled my heart and

I was happy I stayed.

Drink in the fragrance anew,

And make a cherished memory.

The Pain Of Waiting For The Other Shoe To Drop.

Dealing with reality., Learning to let go., Pinterest photos., poetry by Yu/stan/kema, The pain of waiting., Wanting Hope and Love.

Gentle is the night that falls

Upon a child’s waiting heart,

She waits by the curb awhile

And waits for her life to start.

Found on Pinterest on 8-27-16.

Anticipating love to come,

She sits all through the night.

While keeping hope alive inside,

She turns toward the morning light.

 

Surely patience is the key,

To getting what she wants in life.

She waits and feels the rising pain.

Hurt cuts her with a sharp knife.

Time lets her know so cruelly,

The only one who loves is she.

She must let go of hope and love,

And set her own heart free.

One Of My Favorite Poems As An Adult: “Nature.” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

NATURE

As a fond mother, when the day is o’er,

Leads by the hand her little child to bed,

Half willing, half reluctant to be led,

And leave his broken playthings on the floor,

Still gazing at them through the open door,

Nor wholly reassured and comforted

By promises of others in their stead,

Which, though more splendid, may not please him more.

Found on Pinterest on 9-12-16. Red Tricycle.

So Nature deals with us, and takes away

Our playthings one by one, and by the hand

Leads us to rest so gently, that we go

Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay,

Being too full of sleep to understand

How far the unknown transcends the what we know.

Surrendering To Him, Lord Of All.

Learning how to surrender., one's anger., one's fears., one's struggles, one's tears, One's will, Pinterest photos., poetry by Yu/stan/kema

Sometimes, Lord, I feel so weary                       

With the burdens that I bear.

It seems I’m always on my own now,

Found on Pinterest on 6-22-16,

Found on Pinterest on 6-22-16,

Obstacles are everywhere.

People say I need to trust you,

Learn You always keep Your word,

But that’s hard for me to do, Lord

After all that has occurred.

Faith is hard to believe in.

No one’s ever followed through

With promises they’ve made me,

Regardless of the good I do.

How can I trust another

Who has broken my heart,

And betrayed the things I stand for,

And has ripped my soul apart?

How do I forgive another

Who has caused me so much pain?

How do I turn off my anger

And find a way to obtain

Peace that comes with acceptance, 

Love that comes with sacrifice,

Knowledge to resolve my struggles,

And a “self” that would suffice.

Found on Pinterest on 3-21-16.

Found on Pinterest on 3-21-16.

 

Come, Lord, help me with my burdens.

Give me strength to face the years.                     

Help me learn to surrender

To Your will my greatest fears.

Yu/stan/kema.

THE PROMISE OF YOUNG LOVE.

Every time I look at you, I come to know,

Every thing you look at becomes  beautiful.

Even when the strong winds blow,

Your hair curls and it becomes magical.

 

Every day I spend with you,

Makes me see and realize,

I am not alone in life

When love grows in your eyes.

 

Even when I hear your voice,

Or touch tears on your face,

I want no other choice than

To build you a safe place

 

To stay within my heart

Where good intentions lie.

I accept all of you,

Even when you want to cry.

 

Every thing I yearn to be

Seems  possible with you.

Even as the years go by,

I will still feel brand new.

 

Every moment spent with you

Makes life so worthwhile.

Thank you for your faith in me.

I cherish every smile.

Found on Pinterest on 8-17-16.

Life is filled with good and bad,

Yet whatever comes my way,

I’ll always be thankful for,

You being in my life today.

Asking For Help Saved A boy That Day.

The little boy stood

At the edge of despair.

He knew he had trouble

And he was scared.

For most of his life,

He’d been unseen,

By others around him

Who treated him mean.

The more they treated

Him without respect,

The more he felt

Their abuse and neglect.

Found on Pinterest on 2-8-16. Boy.

Found on Pinterest on 2-8-16. Boy.

He became mute,

Unable to talk,

He made a world,

Only he could unlock.

His world was lonely

And it was cold.

Over time years passed.

He was twelve years old.

As time went on,

His silence grew,

And he inwardly turned.

It didn’t matter to you.

No one understood,

By the time he was four,

He was taking care of self,

And he was poor.

His wounds were deep,

And  he had little hope.

His spirit was crushed,

And he could not cope.

He had reached a point

Where he could not cry.

He had to make a choice:

“Do I live or die?”

A man came along,

And gave a hand to him.

The boy had to act

Before the light grew dim.

He said four words,

“Mister, please help me.”

The boy told himself,

“I want to be free.”

So he reached up to meet,

The man leaning down,

And he broke his own rules

By uttering a sound.

When he  asked for help

From a man that day,

He changed his life

In  a positive way.

A love that grows.., Fathers and Sons., Pinterest photos., poetry by Yu/stan/kema, Time doesn't last forever.

Found on Pinterest on 6-19-16. Fathers.

Found on Pinterest on 6-19-16. Fathers.

 

                                                 FATHERS AND SONS

A little boy kneeling

Next to his dad,

Wanted to be like him,

But he was sad.

He barely got the chance,

To look in his face.

Dad was seldom home.

He’d leave without a glance

At the little boy waiting

To  keep up the pace.

He walked like his father,

And he worked hard too,

Not to be a bother

To the man he knew:

The dad that took him 

In the fields to play

The guitars they had

By the sweet-smelling hay.

He wanted and waited

With all of his heart,

For his dad to read him

A story from the start.

Found on Pinterest on 6-19-16.

Found on Pinterest on 6-19-16.

He was certain his Father

Loved  him much.

He was hungry for his praise

And a gentle touch.

All he really wanted

was his dad to see

The man inside

The boy wanted to be.

Being mindful., light on the water., Ocean, Pinterest photos., poetry by Yu/stan/kema, Soothing the soul., waves

Night falls in the canyon tonight

Over-looking the Pacific ocean.

The stars cover the sky like a curtain

Of rare sparkling diamonds without end.

Found on Pinterest on 6-22-16,

Found on Pinterest on 6-22-16,

The air carries a faint smell of iodine

From sea-weed washed up on shore.

The ocean breeze tastes like sea salt

On the tongue, and the scent of Verbena

Brings back memories that please the heart.

Walking to the ocean’s edge, brings the sound

Of waves lapping against the shore and the

Faint cry of a seagull is heard in the distance.

I sigh with relief, and feel my breath rise and fall

To the rhythm of the waves crashing against the rocks.

Found on Pinterest on 5-6-16.

Found on Pinterest on 5-6-16.

Peace flows in and around each cell in my body.

The light of the moon throws a path across the water

And ends at my feet where the light enters.

It is warm and slowly flows to each part of me,

Bathing me with a light filled with kindness and joy.

Peace enfolds me as I allow the ocean’s song to

Calm my restless soul.

When all is said and done

And the last clod  

Found on Facebook Timeline on 8-1-16. Rocky Mountain Angel.

Found on Facebook Timeline on 8-1-16. Rocky Mountain Angel.

Is thrown on top of me,

Will anyone ever take

The time to recognize

That the woman

I yearn to be

No longer resides

In this temporal form,

But has gone to join

Her light with the Son.

 

It is true her only crime

Was forgiving  others  

Found on Pinterest on 10-21-15.

Found on Pinterest on 10-21-15.

And loving others

Too much.

Her love for nature

Was strong.

She would often give

People a gentle touch

And share her words

In a soothing rhyme.

She had little, but gave much.

 

She would make right

Any perceived wrong,

Give help to others

In life’s storms.

She sought to be

With the wounded,

Kind and warm.

She did not aim

To make a fortune

Or run after fame,

But to sing her song.

 

She sought to achieve:

A love of good books;

In God, to have faith;  

Found on Pinterest on 4-19-16.

Found on Pinterest on 4-19-16.

To become a good cook;

To finally feel safe;

In others, to believe;

To earn people’s trust;

To be a good mother,

And be a great friend;

To respect Mother nature,

And to “Be Love,” in the end.

Yu/stan/kema.
