Underneath the pain
In a Country by your side
Underneath the suffering
That so many sleep to hide
Underneath the tremors
There’s no Mother for a child
Underneath the rubble
Is what’s left of broken smiles
Underneath the bridge
Is a man without a home
Underneath the moonlight
There’s a child who cries alone
Underneath the remnants
Children played without a fear
Underneath the blanket
An infant clings to life [...]

By Heart 4 poetry on February 2, 2010
Sweet morning time comes
and awakens the ever shining star.
The sun peeks through my window.
“Arise…Arise…” he says.
I cover my face.
“Arise….Arise…” he repeats.
“I’ll arise when I feel like it!” I answer.
I continue to waste away
the glorious day.
Then, before I know it,
the sun looks away.
“Goodnight.” he says.
He disappears and I am
left alone, wide awake, with no light
but the [...]

(1)If you’d found a way to hold your own against the playground bully,
Would you go to school reunions now, and share old classroom tales?
If you’d opened up, so counselors could understand you fully,
Would the knowledge they’d acquired have taken more wind from your sales?
(2)If you’d stood up to your father, when he made you go [...]

Why do we ponder for things unknown? why do we worry of people that are gone,witches and warlocks and psychic’s galore think they have answer’s but still are unsure.
if your heart seek’s answer’s and your mind’s eye is mess, think in your own spirit for things you request.

Here is one to “old man dreams”
that we just wrote today, Grandpa
And I and the “Guardian Angel”…….
Dreams, Old Dreams, is a funny old man-
For you never, never can tell0
Which of his dreams, when the night time comes,
HE…..IS BRINGING TO YOU……TO SELL!
It may be a dream, of the “Hellava” time
When Herrman crossed the divide-
Then…durried home….tho no [...]

It was a cld fall day-
In early morning-
Even the far off clouds
Seemed half asleep-
The endless plains reach on-
Nor know the dawning-
WORDS ON THE SKY-
WHO TAKES CARE OF MY SHEEP?
Who looks after the Fold?
Why did God MAKE THEM?
to seek for HOME, within
A heartless world?
The lonely wind blowns on–
Nor waits to answer
While winter comes-
With withered leaves underled-
Come [...]

THE DAY YOU WERE BORN,YOU WERE A STAR
LIKE SOMEONE ISOLATED IN A VACANT CAR
WHETHER YOU MAKE OR YOU MAR
OR YOU INITIATE A HEALTHY WAR
ALL THESE THINGS ARE WORTHLESS SO FAR
LEAVING ASIDE YOU AS THE SINGLE STAR
THE DAY YOU DIE,YOU ARE JUST BORN
YOU CAN BE KILLED,YOUR SPIRIT CAN’T BE TORN
SURROUNDED BY HYPOCRITE FRIENDS AND ENEMIES HYPOTHETICAL
MAKING [...]

I first called this poem “Yound Days” But one night when I swept the school house out
I found this on her tablet written before she left
fifty years ago
Last Night of Seventeen
So take it for the Title
She wrote the name for my poem fifty years ago
When prairie winds blow as the winter goes by
She sleeps there [...]

The SNOW came down, an, STARTED TO BLOW-
It was bad as a blizzard could be!
But the SALE was on, and he HAD TO GO-
HE WAS “Lewis of the Double E”!
The heifers were all square and fat-
But only the show was free-
For they sold em all to the “Stetson Hat”-
