  • Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout,

    Saturday, August 23, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story


    Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout
    Would not take the garbage out!
    She'd scour the pots and scrape the pans,
    Candy the yams and spice the hams,
    And though her daddy would scream and shout,
    She simply would not take the garbage out.
    And so it piled up to the ceilings:
    Coffee grounds, potato peelings,
    Brown bananas, rotten peas,
    Chunks of sour cottage cheese.
    It filled the can, it covered the floor,
    It...

  • AS I GROW OLDER

    Friday, July 25, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

     
    I pray I won't end up a grouchy old lady,
    Recountng each ache and each pain
    In intricate detail, to all who will listen,
    While hoping some pity to gain.
    I pray I"ll stay kind and be helpful to others,
    While striving to put their needs first;
    And that I will share the sweet story of Jesus
    With all who now hunger and thirst.
    I pray that as years take their measure upon me
    And I grow more feeb...

  • The Value of a Smile

    Friday, March 28, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

     
    The Value of a Smile
    It costs nothing, but creats much good. It
    enriches those who recieve it without
    improverishing those who give it away. It
    happens in a flash but the memory of it can
    last forever. No one is so rich that he can
    get along without it. No one is too poor to
    feel rich when receiving it. It creates
    happiness in the home , fosters good will in
    buisness, and is the countersign of fr...

    Thank You Lord. . .
    Lord, thank you for this sink of dirty dishes;
    We have plenty of food to eat.
    Yhank you for this pile of dirty, stinky, laundry;
    We have plenty of nice clothes to wear.
    And I would like to thank you, Lord, for those unmade beds;
    They were so warm and comfortable last night.
    I know that many have no bed.
    My thanks to you, Lord for this bathroom,
    Completed with all the splattered ...

  • Listen to Your Heart

    Friday, June 6, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

     
    Listen to Your Heart
    It does't matter who you are,
    Or what anyone says you should do,
    When in doubt, listen to your heart
    And it will lead you through.
    Don't Hurry along your way,
    Following someone else's lead.
    Listen to your heart
    And in time, yo will succed
    Don't forsake good guidance
    When it comes your way,
    And if you listen to your heart
    You will seldom go astray.
    Good evening every ...

  • Why Worry About Tomorrow?

    Saturday, March 15, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

     
    Why worry about Tomorrow
    And the rising of the sun,
    Of anguish over past mistakes
    That cannot be undone?
    Why waste life's precious moments
    On things that bruise the heart
    When today is ours to fashion
    Into a work of art?
    Today comes once,my friend,
    It never can return----
    So use it wisely while you can,
    There's a lesson you may learn.
    Let history record the past
    And tomorrow come what may..
    Be ...

  • No one

    Sunday, September 7, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

    no one to hold
    no one for comfort
    no one to wipe away my tears
    loved ones distant and dark
    pain my only fortress
    my only escape
    no one to hold
    no one for comfort
    no one to wipe away my tears
    shrouded in shadow
    losing conrtol
    mind in shambles
    no one to hold
    no one for comfort
    no one to wipe away my tears
    my insides rotting
    my heart splitting
    blood pooling
    No one to hold
    no one for comfort
    no one to wipe away my tea...

  • Angel In Disguise

    Angel In Disguise
    If an angel is someone
    who is filled wih love,
    it's a gift that they constantly share,
    If an angel s someone
    who looks out for
    others and gives them
    a nudge here or there,
    If an angel is someone
    who touches your life
    with a heart that's
    both joyful annd wise
    Then even though you
    don't have halo or wings
    You're and angel in disguise!

  • I Said a Prayer For You Today

    Friday, July 18, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

     
    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'd 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 al...

    I am a writer. Poetry is my outlet.  In retrospect of my life, these may help to explain my emotional state.  These were written in April of this year.  I've poetry that goes back YEARS, and it ALL follows a similiar pattern.  The fact that I write these usually when I'm not hurting. When you get hit by that first tornado, your taken by the excitement and the adr...
