I Look Up
I don’t idolize you
Because you are beautiful,
Beauty doesn’t always last.
I don’t respect you
Because you have money,
Money can’t buy my love.
I don’t love you
Because you are perfect,
Perfection is a dream no man can reach.
I look up to you
Because you gave me the one thing I needed most,
A listening ear.
The Pool
I stare into the pool
Into the world of reflections
And find the face staring back
May not be my own.
Fight!!!
This property was here
Long before you were born,
And will be here long after.
Man will have his beliefs
That you can’t
Take away from him.
Why waste your time
Fighting for
Something you can’t own.
Fight for respect,
The love of your family,
And the fulfillment of your dreams,
For these are truly yours
And worth fighting for.
This is the explanation video, It may take a little while before it is up on YouTube, please be patient.
Reach the Sky
Even if it takes
Most of my life,
I must continue
Feeding my mind
And stretching my imagination
If I wish to reach the sky.
It Starts With One
A blanket of leaves
Starts with one bud,
A choir of angels
Starts with one voice,
A world of change
Starts with one man
And his dream.
Proceed with Caution
It may look interesting
It may look fun,
It may move slow
It may move at a run,
Don’t let that fool you.
It may have fur
It may have scales,
It may be badgers
It may be whales,
Don’t let that fool you.
You might be able to approach it
Or you might not have the time,
Proceed with extreme caution
Or nature will put you in line.
I Appreciate
I appreciate
The softness of the feather
As life gives me thorns.
Listen to the Young
They should be seen and not heard
Is a saying that is out dated,
They can give us fresh thoughts,
But only when stated.
When properly encouraged
Their creativity can flourish,
By listening to the young
Their minds can be nourished.
I appreciate all of you who have been liking these poems.

One Man’s Art
What started as a dream,
An idea in someone’s imagination;
Then visualized on paper
Would eventually become reality.
What some call
Just another building,
I call art;
For what is art,
But one man’s vision turned to reality
By hard work and determination.
Worth Fighting For
Separated by countries
Families keeping us apart
Telling us we can’t see each other;
Through all the obstacles
We’ve had to overcome,
There is one truth
I’ve come to know,
Love is worth fighting for.
