people,
So many nice people today…so nice.
God had mercy on me, not once…thrice.
I needed that. Kindness of doctors,
Kindness in the supermarket. …and cake,
but that’s just the frosting on the top.
The supermarket worker told me
they were trying to be extra nice
to each other today…funny that!
Turns out a lady gave birth in aisle 7 or 9.
That is seventh heaven or cloud nine.
Heaven sent, all this niceness.
Hope you had a nice day today too!
Have a N I C E weekend too!
Love you Soupers!

Nurses and Doctors; say, "Your too sick to go Home"
"An apartment with a desk; write a Homesick Poem"
" What do you possibly see in that mountain top cabin?"
I see the Earth in a different perspective than You
Landscapes of Beauty, spread wings of the Bald Eagle
Peaceful tranquility nature's creatures walk right up to You
The Firmament, so close, Heavens Flowers, You can smell
Reach up, caress a white silky cloud in a soporiferous spell
During hunting season I see an albino buck munching apples in my backyard
To be Cont.

2nd grade, humorous, i love you, student, sweet, teacher, teachers day,
Who taught the world to read?
Not for money but a good deed
Taught us how to spell
And picked us when we fell
Taught us how to count
Told us the world was round
Standing in front of creatures
All with different features
Preaching in sense of teaching
Helping reach dreams that need reaching
Doctors and lawyers
Even taught the rock stars
If the world were fair
Would have seen talent so rare
I love my teacher

Political Outlaw was his mother
The offspring was he
A fallen thug
He thought he was immortal 'til them five slugs
Doctors couldn't save him
Angels had to take him
He had become legendary
In the hearts of his fans they still love him
See he wasn't a bad person at all
Just not understood

Humble hearted humans reside
Under the protective wings of angels
Making sacrifices to make this world
A better place, a place where
No one is left out in the cold or abused,
Infirm and suffering the elements, or
The emotional or physical pain of poverty
Yearning to keep peace for the love of humanity.

funny love, humorous,
We once had a doctor called Boole
Who hated to look like a fool.
If his diagnosis was wrong
His face grew so long
It made me feel positively cruel.
When I had a rash on my brain
He thought I was going insane.
But calamine cream
Worked like a dream!
So I shall use it again and again.
Doctors have a difficult time,
When patients won't toe the line.
But we need our own voice
And to make our own choice.
We can't fit into another's design.

I love my cigarettes
The pleasure, sticks
I’m tellin’ you
Coffin nails
You’re calling them
It simply isn’t true
They increase my confidence
It’s the nicotine
You see
A happy drug you understand
My doctors
Said to me
So I keep, smoking
I don’t care
They are helpin’ with my flair
Love lookn’ at
My King Size pack
While reclinin’ on my back
So spare me the lectures
My tobacco she’s real fine
Virginia that’s my sweetheart’s name
My lovely concubine : )

family,
He cried
When he was born.
“It’s a boy”, doctors said.
Tears of happiness burst out from eyes,
I cried.
His hug,
So rich in love,
With small arms having charms;
Even heaven can’t be better,
I swear.
If he is
Awake, he is busy;
My son likes to explore,
Never stops since he’s turned to a
Toddler.
His words
Baby babbles
So sweet and expressive
No noise can be found more melodious
Anywhere
His smile,
Very versatile,
Full of innocence but it’s
Mischievous and mysterious at the
Same time

Fly away,
To a place where humanity lays,
Where do you think you'll be in 25 years?
We cant lie,
A part of us is gone when a loved one dies,
Where do you think you'll be in 25 years?
Winter will be cold,
I hope we all have someone to hold,
Where do you think you'll be in 25 years?
Pain and death has started to obscure
The hairs of a young girl are getting fewer,
The Doctors say she wont see 25 years.
A lasting love was once found,
For two young teens in an old town,
They are blessed to see 25 years.
The point I am trying to make,
Is that life is a gift that God can give or take,
So where do you think you'll be in 25 years?

bird, cat, dog, pets,
When God created this world He knew we'd love our pets...
And He gave us special doctors that we call Vets.
There seems to be a special place in many a heart...
Where only a pet can play a part.
They give us memories and fill our hearts with delight...
And they keep us company on a cold lonely night.
They love us, they test us and sometimes even help us heal...
And the excitement of pets in our lives seem to be part of God's will.
Thank you dear God for the family of pets...
I have wonderful memories and no regrets.
A dog or a cat or maybe a bird or two...
Raising a pet seems to be a smart thing to do.

My love
we fear the corona
my lover
let us wear
our plague doctor
masks to bed again
You look at me
with eyes like two ribbons
of warm absinthe
We fear for our life
from our life
the whole span
of it glistens
To protect us
light the candles
spray on some
moonlight
Let us recite
some old biblical
verses
Some say they
still hear the screams
where plague doctors
walked in bird like masks
where no birds sing...

depression
When I am depressed
I float in self-pity
I roam in fantasy
I bask in solitude
When I am depressed
Thought of God bores me
Thought of family irritates me
Thought of life bores me
When I am depressed
Doctors question than test
Doctors suggest than prescribe
Doctors philosophize than treat
When I am depressed
Self-confidence eludes me
Self-worth evades me
Self-criticism controls me
When I am depressed
I loathe your presence
I detest your concern
I NEED YOUR LOVE

child, health, love,
Strawberry locks flowing softly down her back.
Loving smile that enchants any one at first glance.
Petite fragile frame with sweet gentle ways.
Softly speaks of dreams that soar on butterflies wings.
A father's miracle that lights up his world.
Adored and admired by all that know the truth.
Fighter from the first breath of life.
Doctors are amazed she made it this far.
Angels descended to watch over her.
Much work to be done guided by the masters touch.
Each day will be cherished and safe in everyones hearts.

MOTHERS
The cycle of life would have ceased to exist,
if there were no mothers.
Hard working they are,
Good discipliners they are,
Doctors and caregivers they are.
Praises I give to all mothers
through all their days,
They’ve raised and fed the world always.
Light they are to the darkness of life,
To husbands they’ve become good wives.
All mothers should be honored,
and venerated,
For these days they have been daunted.
Husband or Wife?
Yes!! You can get another,
But you can’t get another mother.
So let’s know and show our gratitude,
And let their very reward be in multitude.

I Am Who I Am
And I’m Proud of it too
To those who haven’t met me,
It’s so nice to meet you.
I have Autism;
Something that is always with me
In my personality and body,
Something that doctors can agree.
My five senses are increased,
I hear, see, taste and smell things differently.
Even my mind is ‘off course’
Captured by everything around me instantly.
I can be energetic,
I can be easily excited.
Also, sometimes even the smallest things,
Would make me frightened.
I love my parents,
They tell me I’m a gem.
For they are proud just like me,
For who I am.

absence, anxiety, blue, boyfriend, break up, missing you, space,
every day- wake up.
smoke before the thoughts of you wake up.
drink my coffee on the couch.
pour an extra cup for you.
end up drinking both- i am wired.
i have to stay so focused
on doing my own thing.
focus too hard and crumble.
i can still smell your skin on my sheets.
i want to lay in bed all day,
get high until you float away.
i feel it all at once,
and then nothing at all.
missed my doctors appointment
because you were supposed to go with me.
everywhere i go
you were supposed to go with me.
now i'm doing it alone
with you half way down the globe.
i pray that i can sustain my love,
although time has never made me warmer.

Since the beginning of the year,
We've been through so much.
Through doctors appointments,
Family meetings, and surgery.
But one last treatment,
Then celebration.
Celebrating YOU!
Your courage, strength, and will to go on.
You have inspired us all.
We all realize that it's been tough,
Especially at the beginning.
But we've also seen how you've handled it.
So in all,
I just wanted to say,
I LOVE YOU MEMAW!

Not a poem, a message for the love of brains, yours and your loved ones. Most doctors don’t know about this as conventional medicine is still catching up with traumatic brain injury. This recipe attacks the inflammation, helping to prevent an all out fire, an inflammation cycle from starting, preventing Post Concussion Syndrome from taking hold. I can tell you, PCS ain’t fun. Bless everyone, write this down.

recovery from...me, universe,
It is day number twenty-one.
I've been awake for a week, I think.
The ride in the chopper was fun...
But my hair never slept a wink!
I love how the Universe speaks.
The tap on the shoulder, a whisper
From angels who know time has ceased
Asleep, til her prince just kissed her!
A tragic event - I might die
But i woke up and everyone smiled.
The husband and kids by my side,
The Universe bearing a child.
The Doctors and Nurses from God,
Who helped me get back on the hopper,
Discharged me with twenty prescriptions,
But I left my purse on the chopper!!

bereavement, death, drug,
First was her second born,
Undisputable copy of her love;
From the top of a tree he fell,
And death came to him from hell.
Then her first born,
Who had sized her up in all;
She walked into labour room,
There and then she met her doom.
Still death kept coming,
Now to her third lovely fruit,
The clone of the man she loved;
Drugs and doctors,death triumphed
Death yet undone, her last,
Who was now mother of one;
Suddenly woke up with bloody mouth,
Just before the noon, death hit her loud.
Now she cried no more,
But walked into the darkest ,
No water, no food, no voice,
In a short time , she was ice.

I cannot fathom life without an internet.
But I wish teenagers were not being cyberbullied.
I love my poetry sites, and instant access to friends.
But teens are mean to each other, sight unseen.
The internet lets me diagnosis myself. Who needs doctors?
But children are posting missives about cutting and killing themselves.
Making this sound normal; giving other children ideas.
So many contrasting emotions about technology!
I am in touch with my childhood friends after twenty years.
Teenagers are posting photos of themselves skimpily clad.
There are predators out there, utilizing the internet.
Sliding quickly past my pages, hunting our children.

africa, life, political, power, vanity,
I have sacrificed thousands of lives,
to allow a new constitution in the country.
Many people hate me,
calling me old, slow and foolish. So surprised
I am that the fool I am, have a following
of doctors, engineers and architects.
I have managed to make a fool out of the government,
to allow me to build my own palace,
and buy a dozen Ferraris,
with the help of public kitty.
I grew up knowing money as a god
who received sacrifice in form of family, trust,
love and happiness.
It's a matter of time before blood flows from the rivers
of our ancestors, to the gate of my palace.
My friends and enemies will call me "President!"

i love you, mother,
Mom, do you forgive me for turning off your life support?
You could not tell me so I had to believe the doctors report.
Mom, you had been in a coma for months, weeks, and days,
and would stay like that forever- here but not always, always.
