Welcome to the Poems page

Forgiveness

by Ken Brown

When tragedy or misfortune strikes

They come in many disguises

The world all around you seems dark with despair

Your anger and bitterness rises.

Remember that nothing is ever in vain

There's a reason for every disaster.

It's given to strengthen your spirit and faith

A lesson in living to master.

You are never alone in your sorrow and grief;

There are others who suffer too,

And send out their love in ways they know how

To bring comfort and healing to you.

But the greatest of challenges then lies ahead -

Forgive, let your bitterness cease

For those who caused anguish and grief

Only then can you find peace.

Every Day, Give Thanks

by Christina M Workman

Whatever happens in your life,

Be it joyful, be it strife,

Never let your spirits die,

Give out thanks and let them fly,

To the skies where live our friends,

Angels who help us make amends.

Whatever happens, let it be,

Learn from it and you will see

Your life on a daily basis,

No regrets and no disgraces,

Thanks for all the help and teaching,

Towards Love we're always reaching.

Whatever happens, fill your heart

With Love, and always play your part

In helping others on their way,

Loving thoughts we send each day,

For our own lives will richer be,

Whenever we send thanks to Thee.

Remember This

Tis true that thoughts are living things,

And speed, like light on angels' winds, to places far apart.

So when it seems we are far away, from those we love

When all the day is dull and we said

Remember this ...

Our thoughts are real

And each the other's soul may feel

And make the other glad

Thus, if any death, the ones we have, should pass to giver realms above.

And from this earth depart.

Never forget that life goes on - an endless stream

And if at times we grieve or tend to sigh

Remember this ....

The clouds will go. The sun is always there to share.

That joy is ever nigh.

As day by day, we tread our ways, still brighter grow the days

Which for us yet remain.

For we hav angel friends at hand to guid and bless.

They too, like us, this line on earth have trod

Remember this ....

All things are planned

And one day we shall understand that love above is God
