we have grown for century&#8217;s with out growing near pondering and wondering is this why they sell beer?<br />
getting drunk can be some kind of fun ! but life isn&#8217;t that scarey if you live for fun! live for now and tomorrow and again live! life for you! and the fun! that&#8217;s within.<br />
take time to slow down and follow your heart  listening to other&#8217;s way&#8217;s will just break your heart, make your own choices and decide for yourself  cause in the end your life is top shelf! follow your dream&#8217;s! and listen to your heart and when everyone else is gone  you still have a part of thing&#8217;s that have come and thing;s that have went..but when true to your! heart then. your time was  well spent let the little worrys just pass you on by, and watch in the heaven&#8217;s and the clouds that float by.<br />
for love in your! heart can only save space for your true kindness and loving grace, never let&#8217;s others control your inner heart and then you will find peace and shall never part.<br />
listen to that little child within and share your love from end to end for  we only live once and that&#8217;s all we got! but how we live life is what were about.<br />
live for thine self and life for the best! when you are tired take a nice long rest.<br />
waking up to a new day is just devine&#8230; for who know&#8217;s what you may find?<br />
look at that smiling face you have dear and hold onto love in your heart and the mirror. live out your life this is your quest! to love thy own self tis always the best.</p>

our world or worry it is so filled, not taking time to rest avast but slowly wearing down our ass.<br />
not carefully exploring  abode,but working fast to break the code, we all in such a rush! never early for the bus. running and running for day&#8217;s on end and never spending time with a freind.<br />
slow down a minute i must say, for life&#8217;s about learning how to play! learning about who we are why were here? and just how far? can we go in this path  we exist! or is it? that our life is a myth? do we think we are just here? or what is the purpose we hold dear.<br />
take just a minute in this day and time and listen now to my little ryme for life is full! of wonder&#8217;s galore and more than just walking in and out of door&#8217;s meeting a friend is always the best ! and shareing love in someone&#8217;s midst. taking time  to share who you are while walking about or riding in a car . take time! to share your expereinces and time and enjoy the little things that are so devine.<br />
take just a moment it won;t cost you much! to find new life amoungst all of us!<br />
take a minute and this! i swear  you could find true happiness and a freind to share.</p>

Awaken that kernel of Light in me<br />

For just one moment<br />
Myself a full risen sun<br />
Before a new night<br />
And the dawn<br />
Of yet<br />
Another<br />
Unknowing</p>

Tight schedules can make one gasp<br />
So given the chance I let the pores exude<br />
The feeling of utter solitude<br />
To take time out, let my thoughts just fly<br />
Allow the day to pass me by<br />
To go at my pace just for once<br />
Ease my soul and let my thoughts bounce</p>
<p>Around my head they bob and weave<br />
As all around me I perceive<br />
The rustling leaves the trickling stream<br />
The scented air and the sunlit scene<br />
To look around the woodland glade<br />
As the trials of life are allowed to fade<br />
To think of nought but what I see<br />
A falling leaf, a quivering tree</p>
<p>Many years ago it was all like this<br />
We had the time we were at peace<br />
But all that changed with this new age<br />
Time sped up with each turning page<br />
I yearn to be in yesterday<br />
It now seems oh so far away<br />
When we all had time for everyone<br />
And looked forward to the rising sun</p>
<p>To set a pace we’d all enjoy<br />
Each man and woman, girl and boy<br />
To love thy neighbour as thyself<br />
To lend a hand not keep to oneself<br />
But the wheel of life rolls on and on<br />
As we all head for the setting sun<br />
So I take my chances so I don’t miss<br />
My times of solitude and bliss</p>
<p>G. L. Ellison</p>
<p>ã 06/11/1995</p>
<p>This poem was written in the style of Graeme Edges&#8217; &#8220;Dream&#8221; from the LP of the Moody Blues On the Threshold of a Dream I hope you like it!</p>

and often wondering why<br />
that we don&#8217;t stop to help them<br />
and continue on with our own lives.<br />
So many fatherless children<br />
who will never understand<br />
why they have no precious daddy<br />
or the strength of a loving father&#8217;s hand.<br />
So many homeless people<br />
living on the street<br />
while we&#8217;re kept warm and cozy<br />
and have plenty to eat.<br />
This world is very greedy<br />
and we should all understand<br />
that we could be a sad, beaten child,<br />
homeless and hungry family,<br />
or a child all grown up to be a fatherless man.<br />
Today someone may be reaching<br />
out to take your hand<br />
hoping that you&#8217;ll care for them<br />
and that you&#8217;ll understand.<br />
Don&#8217;t ever pass up a moment<br />
when you got a hand to lend,<br />
because someone out there may need you<br />
and later you may need them.</p>

In a Country by your side
Underneath the suffering
That so many sleep to hide
Underneath the tremors
There&#8217;s no Mother for a child
Underneath the rubble
Is what&#8217;s left of broken smiles
Underneath the bridge
Is a man without a home
Underneath the moonlight
There&#8217;s a child who cries alone
Underneath the remnants
Children played without a fear
Underneath the blanket
An infant clings to life [...]<p>This post was originally published on <a href="http://poempoempoem.com/poemsandstories">Your Poems, Your Stories</a> at <a href="http://poempoempoem.com/poemsandstories/tremors/">Tremors</a>.</p>

Underneath the grief<br />
A chance to unbreak someones heart</p>
<p>Underneath the dreams<br />
That were shattered in a glance<br />
Underneath the ruins<br />
Is help to build a second chance</p>
<p>Underneath the sun<br />
Where lovers long to sail away<br />
Underneath the gray sky<br />
A child survives another day</p>
<p>Underneath disaster<br />
Is a longing to reach out<br />
Underneath this calling<br />
Desire burns through all self doubt</p>

<p>1. person (you or someone in need of a smile)</p>
<p>1/2 cup of love from the heart.</p>
<p>2. heaping loads of Joy and gladness</p>
<p>1. pinch of care</p>
<p>2. cups of laughter</p>
<p>What to do:</p>
<p>Mix together The two cups of laughter with the heaps of joy and gladness. Stir constantly to make sure that the smile will be true and not a &#8220;pain cover-up.&#8221; Sprinkle in the pinch of care and add with it the 1/2 cup of love as you continue to stir. Gently pour in a cup made from only the finest happiness around. For extra effect, add a spoonful of hugs and kisses (if desired). Sip or have someone else sip the potion slowly. If the first cup is a little weak, take another dose.<br />
Now you should have a smile on your face and a fresh start today. Take a dose of smile each day if you wish to feel this way forever.    <img src='http://poempoempoem.com/poemsandstories/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
