POEM FOR FRIENDS

A person who will listen and not condemn Someone on whom you can depend They will not flee when bad times are here Instead they will be there to lend an ear They will think of ways to make you smile So you can be happy for a while When times are good and happy there after They will be there to share the laughter Do not forget your friends at all For they pick you up when you fall Do not expect to just take and hold Give friendship back, it is pure gold.         by 👉 Gillian Jones

It’s finally Friday—I’m so glad. It’s been a crazy week. I got chewed out on Monday,  and since then it’s all been bleak. I lost my lunch on Tuesday, and a parent went insane, which shocked me so completely that I almost popped a vein. I poked my eye on Wednesday, and the nurse gave me a shot. She sent me to the doctor when I fainted on the spot. On Thursday I was tardy ’cause I kinda overslept. And the snack that I was craving  came up missing in a theft. And so it’s finally Friday. No more pencils, no more books. No more sitting in detention,  no more teachers’ dirty looks. By Friday I’m exhausted,  out of energy and breath. But that’s the day you’ll hear me shout, “Rejoice, TGIF!” And twice a month on Friday, I remember why I stay: You see, I am the principal— that’s when I get my pay.     Paul Orshoski

Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow.    By-james Langston

I'm staying home from school today. I'd rather be in bed pretending that I have a pain that's pounding in my head. I'll say I have a stomach ache. I'll claim I've got the flu. I'll shiver like I'm cold and hold my breath until I'm blue. I'll fake a cough. I'll fake a sneeze. I'll say my throat is sore. If necessary I can throw a tantrum on the floor. I'm sure I'll get away with it. Of that, there's little doubt. But, even so, I really hope my students don't find out.     by 👉 By Kenn Nesbitt

Tiger Tiger, burning bright, In the forests of the night; What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry? In what distant deeps or skies. Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand, dare seize the fire? And what shoulder, and what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand? and what dread feet? What the hammer? what the chain, In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? what dread grasp, Dare its deadly terrors clasp! When the stars threw down their spears And water’d heaven with their tears: Did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the Lamb make thee? Tiger Tiger burning bright, In the forests of the night: What immortal hand or eye, Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?       By William Blake

If you can keep your head when all about you        Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,     But make allowance for their doubting too;    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,     Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,     And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;        If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;    If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster     And treat those two impostors just the same;    If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken     Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,     And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings     And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings     And never breathe a word about

If  only you knew what You mean to me. If only my heart could speak, Then it could tell you how much l love you. If only I could give you gold or diamonds, But oh, my dear, l have only my heart. I give it all to you. Just be careful with it. Never break it. If only you knew that you mean The world to me. If only you knew that I am more than willing To give my life to you, Then you should trust me And give me your heart. Let me be the person you will spend  The rest of your lifetime with. Let me be your better half. Source:  https://www.familyfriendpoems.com/poem/lf-only

just a glance, a look and there you were, for me to have, to choose, to care for life is nothing with no dare. it's boring when it's all care, wasn't sure you'd look my way, for like looking for a needle in hay, finding true love is the same way, and I thank heavens for that day, love you I will forever, the ties we have to never sever, always around you in a tether, all our time we spend together, like the famed birds of a feather, did not know you would leave, thought you were around to live, your absence though hard to believe, love will I always Source: https://www.familyfriendpoems.com/poem/just-a-glance-and-there-you-were

My love for you runs so deep, It is hard for me to even sleep. Every time I see your eye, All I want to do is cry. When I touch your lovely skin, I get so nervous from within. You're hug and lips is what I miss, But what I miss more is your kiss. Knowing that we will be apart, How much this is breaking my Heart. You're all I want as you can see, The love from you is all I need. I so desire not to leave, I know this is something you need. I write this poem for my sweetheart, I love you from the depth of my heart I love you Sarina... Source : https://www.familyfriendpoems.com/poem/the-love-for--sarina

Anyone  can tell you they love you. Anyone can flatter you and tell you you're beautiful. Anyone can make you smile and happy. Anyone can promise you the world  And the stars and the finest things of life. But I don't want to be anyone; I want to be the one, The one who makes you wake up smiling, The one who makes you walk down the street knowing someone loves you, The one to bring heaven on Earth for you, The reason for your joy and happiness. You are my love, You are my friend, my lady, And one day the mother of my children. In you I have seen my future, And in the glow of your eyes and your smile  I know that I found my soulmate.  I love you, baby.

Why did you leave without saying goodbye Or was it because l pretended not to like you I found a way to communicate with you But you only replied once Have l lost you I still go to the place where we first met Hoping l could see your face But all l see is regrets "Why did l pretend not to like you" "Why didn't l smile when you smiled at me" Have l lost you Years are now passing My foolish ❤️ heart keeps on pounding But am alone in this love Have l really lost you by👉  Upendo Chimwezi

Spring is here! At last it’s here! I’m so glad I gave a cheer! I’m so pleased I had to say, “Wow! Yippee! Hip-hip hooray!” I’m so thrilled I did a dance. Then I went and wet my plants. By Kenn Nesbitt

INFLUENCED- A THEORY We live in a world where all our moves are  being monitored either by our parents , relatives or by social media Everyone know it and still , they don't know it ! in our deeper subconsicous mind we know that everything we do  has a influence , everything we can think of today is already  a part of someone's imagination a imagination that existed years ago but how is that imagination still alive by our genes , our mentality that was passed to us from generation to another and this mentality is very hard to change  whether it be racism or discrimination partility or back bitching etc... . just like these things which are carried from one generation to next generation  similarly our thoughts , problem showing  intelligent came from the past but let's just talk about today, today is that day , that is not like yesterday  and tomorrow is something that we are not sure is about to happen why  thanks to the inf

I went down to the river, I set down on the bank. I tried to think but couldn't, So I jumped in and sank. I came up once and hollered! I came up twice and cried! If that water hadn't a-been so cold I might've sunk and died. But it was Cold in that water! It was cold! I took the elevator Sixteen floors above the ground. I thought about my baby And thought I would jump down. I stood there and I hollered! I stood there and I cried! If it hadn't a-been so high I might've jumped and died. But it was High up there! It was high! So since I'm still here livin', I guess I will live on. I could've died for love-- But for livin' I was born Though you may hear me holler, And you may see me cry-- I'll be dogged, sweet baby, If you gonna see me die. Life is fine! Fine as wine! Life is fine!  by 👉 Langston Hughes Poems

Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice. By ROBERT FROST

You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I’ll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? ‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I’ll rise. Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops. Weakened by my soulful cries. Does my haughtiness offend you? Don’t you take it awful hard ‘Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines Diggin’ in my own back yard. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I’ll rise. Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I’ve got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs? Out of the huts of history’s shame I ris

Take time to work, it is the price of success. Take time to think, it is the source of power. Take time to play, it is the secret of perpetual youth. Take time to read, it is the fountain of wisdom. Take time to be friendly, it is the road to happiness. Take tie to dream, it is hitching your wagon to a star. Take time to look around, it is too short a day to be selfish. Take time to laugh, it is the music of the soul. ~ Old English Prayer
