My Favorite Poems

In my Life, I have seen many things. I've felt the beautiful mist right after a thunder storm. I've seen the beautiful and brand new roses, than watched as the withered away. I've seen the new born baby smile, and cry, and grow old.

In this Life, I've witnessed such beauty... and horror. I've experienced the love only a naive young mother could give. I've watched as friends rose far beyond their wildest dreams. I've cried as some of the passed away.

In Life, things come hard, and never wait till you are ready. and yet we go on, secure in the thought, that no matter what happens, we will be here. We live our lives and never look back.

In our lives, A new born ant walks amongst thousands in a forest, it will live, it will grow, it will die, and noone will know. A Tree will grow as high as it's former, for a thousand years it will live, never once feeling the touch of a human hand.

Life... goes on with out us, we can never stop it, and I don't want to... I just crave... desire... hunger... to know why.

I wish to know why is it, that birds fly high above, why worms crawl in the soil, why humans can accomplish all of their dreams.

I wish to feel the heart beat of a new baby bear, I wish the feel the breeze on the largest mountain on earth, I wish to hear the sound of whales speaking in the lowest depths of the sea.

I wish to watch as man finds the last known planet in space, and looks beyond it. I wish to watch as a new species is born, as it grows, and how it dies. I wish to watch as my nephew and neice grow and carry with them all that I have thought them.

I cry... as all of my life goals, will never be accomplished. I will never watch the sun shine as I once did. I will never again smile as child would. I will never believe that Christmas is a time when all are happy.

I smile... as all my life goals, have alrady been accomplished. I've reached the largest mountain and jumped higher. I've see the sun shine, I've watch the babies grow, I've felt my heart grow, and I've smiled.

I wonder about all of the souls on this Earth. Do they feel the warmth of a mother's love? Can they look at each other and cry, just because they are able to. Will they climb the mountains, will they swim the oceans, will they be happy.
