COMFORTING POEMS OF LIFE, LOVE AND HAPPINESS

THERE'S LOVE BENEATH IT ALL

2011-02-08T13:19:00.000-08:00

SOMETIMES, WE DON'T GET ALONG,

SOMETIMES, INSTEAD OF DOING SOMETHING RIGHT,

WE END UP DOING IT WRONG,

WHEN THERE'S AN ISSUE IN WHICH WE CANNOT AGREE,

WE TRY HARD WITH EACH OTHER TO SEE WHAT EACH OF US MEANS,

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WE DON'T LOOK AT OR TALK TO EACH OTHER, BUT I KNOW THAT DOWN DEEP THERE COULD BE NO OTHER, WE GO THROUGH TRIALS AND RIDE LIFE'S BIG ROLLER COASTER, BUT I KNOW THAT WE STILL HAVE EACH OTHER WHEN THE STORM IS OVER,

WE MIGHT FUSS AND FIGHT, BUT WHEN I GO TO BED I WANT TO HOLD YOU TIGHT,

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, EVEN THOUGH LIFE'S SITUATIONS WILL TOSS UP TO AND FROUGH,

NO, I CANNOT GO WITHOUT SEEING YOUR FACE JUST FOR A WHILE, I CANNOT GO VERY LONG WITHOUT SEEING YOUR SMILE, I KNOW WE'LL HAVE TIMES WHEN WE BOTH WANT TO PITCH IT IN,

BUT THE BEST THING IS, IS HAVING YOU TO KISS AND HUG IN THE END.

JOY OF HOLIDAYS

2011-02-08T13:12:00.000-08:00

HOLIDAYS ARE MEANT FOR SPENDING YOUR DAY HAVING FUN,

HOLIDAYS ARE MEANT FOR CREATING SOME GOOD MEMORIES WITH EVERYONE,

SOME HOLIDAYS WE CELEBRATE AMONG OURSELVES,

WHILE OTHER HOLIDAYS ARE CELEBRATED AS A NATION,

THERE ARE MANY WAYS AS TO HOW TO SPEND SOME HOLIDAYS,

WE SPEND SOME AT HOME WHILE OTHERS ON VACATION,

ON SOME HOLIDAYS EACH PERSON SPENDS THEM IN THEIR OWN UNIQUE WAYS,

THERE ARE MANY HOLIDAYS TO MENTION, SUCH AS CHRISTMAS, EASTER, AND THE NAME YOU'RE GIVEN,

EVERY NATION HAS ITS OWN SPECIFIC HOLIDAYS,

AND THEY RECOGNIZE THEM IN DIFFERENT WAYS,

SOME HOLIDAYS ARE CELEBRATED ACCORDING TO RELIGION, SOME HOLIDAYS ARE HARDLY EVER MENTIONED,

IF WE ARE WISE AND OPEN OUR EYES, THEN WE CAN RESPECT THE HOLIDAYS THAT OTHERS RECOGNIZE,

EVERY HOLIDAY HAPPENS FOR A REASON, SOME HOLIDAYS OCCUR A CERTAIN TIME OF YEAR, OR A CERTAIN SEASON,

IF WE KEEP AN OPEN MIND, THEN TO EACH OTHER'S HOLIDAYS, WE WON'T BE BLIND,

WHEN EVERY EYE REACHES FROM SEA TO SEA, THEN WE CAN LIVE IN COMPLETE HARMONY.

A SINGLE ROSE

2011-02-08T13:04:00.000-08:00

ONCE UPON A TIME SOMEONE THAT CARED FOR ME, GAVE ME A ROSE,

FOR WHAT REASON NOBODY KNOWS,

THERE ARE MANY OCCASIONS FOR RECEIVING A ROSE, BUT NO MATTER WHAT COLOR, THEY ARE SWEET TO THE NOSE, A ROSE OF RED MEANS THAT YOU LOVE SOMEONE, YES, THIS YOU'VE SAID, A PINK ROSE CONVEYS GRACE, ELEGANCE, ADMIRATION AND JOY, AS THE SKATERS OR BALLET DANCERS PERFORM INSTEAD, WHEN YOU GIVE THE GIFT OF A ROSE THAT IS YELLOW, THAT PERSON KNOWS YOU WANT TO BE WARM AND FRIENDLY, AND SOMEWHAT MELLOW,

WHEN YOU'VE FOUND THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE YOU WANT TO SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE WITH AND YOU HAVE A FEELING THAT IS RIGHT, YOU GIVE HIM OR HER THE SPECIAL ROSE OF WHITE, WHEN YOUR LOVE HAS GROWN DOWN THE LINE, YOU WILL WANT TO SHOW YOUR LOVE AND HOW IT SHINES, WHEN YOU THINK OF ORANGE YOU'LL BE FEELING FINE, FINALLY WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH THAT DOOR AND SEE THAT SPECIAL PERSON ACROSS THE ROOM, YOU WILL FIND LAVENDER ROSE PETALS ON THE FLOOR, THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT CAN BE SAID BY GIVING A ROSE,

JUST MAKE SURE THAT WHEN YOU GIVE OUT A PRECIOUS ROSE THAT THE ONE YOU'RE GIVING IT TO SURELY KNOWS.

FLOATING AND FLYING THROUGH THE AIR

2011-02-08T12:56:00.000-08:00

AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER SOME OF US HAVE WISHED THAT WE COULD BE LIKE A BIRD AND FLY THROUGH THE AIR, WITH THE GREATEST OF EASE, WE COULD GLIDE WITHOUT A CARE, THE SKY WOULD BE OURS TO FLY AROUND, NO THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY BOUNDS, IF WE HAD FEATHERS WE COULD SOAR SO HIGH, AND WE COULD SIT ON A CLOUD AND WAVE HELLO AND GOODBYE, WE COULD TAKE OFF FROM OUR NEST, FLY SOME DISTANCE, THEN TAKE A REST,

YES, AT TIMES FLYING WOULD SEEM LIKE IT'S THE BEST, WE COULD DO ALL KINDS OF TRICKS,

SUCH AS ROLL AND HIGH DIVE, AND AFTERWARDS, GIVE EACH OTHER A SUPER HIGH FIVE, IF WE COULD FLY THROUGH THE AIR WE WOULD BETTER APPRECIATE OUR SURROUNDINGS EVERYWHERE,

IF WE HAD WINGS WE COULD FLY ALL OVER, UP NORTH WHEN IT'S HOT, AND

DOWN SOUTH WHEN IT'S COLD, AND THAT ALSO HELPS THE SURROUNDINGS FROM BECOMING OLD.

A GENTLE EVENING SUNSET

2011-02-08T12:50:00.000-08:00

AT THE END OF THE DAY OF WORK OR PLAY, WE LET A SIGH OF RELIEF THAT WE GET TO GO HOME FOR THE DAY,

WE'VE DONE OUR BEST, AND NOW IT'S TIME TO LET OUR WEARY MINDS LAY TO REST, YOU GET HOME AND TAKE OFF YOUR HEAVY WORK SHOES AND GET A DRINK AND SOMETHING TO EAT, WHAT TO HAVE, IT'S UP TO YOU TO CHOOSE, AFTER DINNER YOU GO OUTSIDE AND SIT ON YOUR PORCH WITH YOUR BEST FRIEND AT YOUR SIDE, YOU WATCH THE SUN, AS IT'S JOB FOR THE DAY IS DONE, AND YOU THINK OF ALL THE ONES YOU LOVE, NOT JUST THE PERSON BESIDE YOU BUT EVERYONE, YOU LOOK UP IN THE HEAVENLY SKIES, THE SCENERY IS ALMOST TOO MUCH FOR YOUR EYES, YOU LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT COLORS IN THE DISTANT HORIZON, AND YOU LISTEN TO THE QUIETNESS, AFTER ALL OF THE DAY'S BUZZING, YOU APPRECIATE HOW BEAUTIFUL THE SKY'S COLORS ARE, LAYERS OF COLORS, AND, OH LOOK, ABOVE THEM IS THE SOFT HINT OF STARS, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SUNSET AND EVENING SKY AS A WHOLE, YOU ARE GLAD YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO SEE, YOU ARE HAPPY THAT YOU GET TO SEE THESE THINGS FROM WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG UNTIL YOU GET OLD, AFTER THE SUN HAS FELL DOWN AND GONE FOR THE NIGHT, IT'S TIME TO GO INSIDE AND HAVE A WONDERFUL NIGHT.

Nature has blessed us with so many beautiful things and breathtaking sites. The whole Earth is filled with such diverse animal and plant life that till now, man hasn’t completely figured out the exact number of species of living things. This plant and animal habitat is spread all over the planet from; rain forest to hot deserts and from the frozen areas to the depth of the ocean, all of our Earth is filled with living beauty.

Of course human beings are a major part of this whole ecosystem and play a major role in its prosperity. We are in other words responsible for the preservation of everything around us. This is because we are the only creation on this Earth that can think and do stuff that no other living creature can do. So taking this into account it is upon us to preserve the beauty of nature.

Since the last century mankind has been taking some small and some big steps in trying to preserve the natural wonders around us. One big step in this regard is making of National Parks. National parks are actually pieces of land blessed with diverse and unique animal and plant habitat, the government of a particular country who has such pieces of land, reserve the area to save it from urbanization.

Majority of the world’s National parks are well facilitated with proper staff to look after the animals and plant life and also allow people to witness the natural beauty upfront. By reserving a piece of a land for a National Park, governments not just save a natural habitat from being destroyed, but it also adds revenue to their tourism industry.

People love to visit national parks to enjoy the beauty of nature and this is why most of the modern national parks are well facilitated to cater the needs of people visiting the place.

Yosemite National Park

This is one of the world’s most famous national parks. The park was established in the year 1980 and was to the state of California, United States. It is situated in the east central California over shadowed by the famous and breathtaking views of Sierra Nevada.

The park covers a total area of 761,266 acres. It is a top tourist destination and around 3.5 million people visit this spectacular natural place, each year.

A part from the wide range of natural habitat, the place is very famous for the spectacular Yosemite Valley which is located in the southwestern side of the park. The area is well known for its granite cliffs and beautiful water falls.

Yellowstone National Park

The Yellow Stone national park is also situated in the United States and was established in the year 1872. Practically speaking this was the first national park to have been established. The park is unique with diverse ecosystems and sub alpine forests.

Other more popular features of this park are the natural geysers of which Old Faithful Geyser is the most famous. The park is also a great site for tourist equipped with many facilities, like boat riding, horse riding etc. Here fishing is also allowed in lakes and streams, so surely there will be no place better than this park if you want to do some fishing.

Blue Mountains National Park

This well known park is situated in New South Wales, Australia. The park is just 81 km away from Sydney so any one can very easily reach the place directly from the city center. The National park is located in the Blue Mountains region which is yet another spectacular place to visit. Filled with a natural bluish mist, the Blue Mountains offer some of the world’s most breathtaking views.

The Blue Mountain National Park also offers all these breathtaking sceneries. Although the name of the place has the word ‘Mountain’ in it, but the fact is that the whole area is a plateau region with a number of rivers running through the plateau. So it’s just a matter of words that we call the place blue mountains.

There are many beautiful attractions in this place and the most famous is ‘The Three Sisters’. For people looking to go deeper into the region, there are walks both in day and night to see the beautiful place more deeply.

A SPECIAL HAND ON ME

2011-02-05T09:18:00.000-08:00

WHEN I WAS BORN,

THERE WAS A HAND ON ME,

THIS HAND I COULDN'T TOUCH OR SEE,

AS I GREW UP,

THERE WAS A HAND ON ME,

A MAJOR ILLNESS ALMOST TOOK ME AWAY EARLY,

I HAD SOME MAJOR SURGERIES,

MY PARENTS, SISTER, GRANDPARENTS, COUSINS, AUNTS AND UNCLES,

ALL WONDERED AS TO HOW I WOULD BE,

NOT A WORD WAS SAID, NOTHING WAS SEEN,

BUT THROUGH THE DARK AND THE UGLY,

THERE WAS A HAND ON ME,

EVERY TIME I WENT TO THE OPERATING ROOM,

MY PARENTS SAID, "WE'LL SEE YOU SOON."

MY PARENTS WERE ALWAYS IN THE ROOM,

MARKED, "RECOVERY,"

THEY MADE SURE I WAS TAKEN CARE OF TWENTY-FOUR HOURS A DAY,

AS I LYE IN THE BED, GETTING BETTER AND READY,

TO GO HOME AGAIN, TO LIVE AGAIN NORMALLY,

BUT, TIME AFTER TIME,

THERE WAS A HAND ON ME, A ROOM TO HAVE SURGERY,

BUT I KNOW THAT DURING ALL THESE TIMES THERE WAS A HAND ON ME,

AFTER TALKING TO FRIENDS AND DOCTORS AND TRAVELING TO FAR OFF PLACES,

ALL THE WHILE AROUND ME THERE WERE FAMILIAR FACES,

ONE NIGHT MY FATHER WAS ALONE IN A ROOM,

AND OUT THE DOOR HE WOULD BE SOON,

WHAT HE HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR HAD BEEN FOUND,

AND BEFORE WE KNEW IT WE WERE ON A PLANE GOING NORTHBOUND,

IN A FEW DAYS, I WAS TO HAVE MY LAST SURGERY,

THEN I WOULD HAVE A GRIN TO STAY,

YES, EAR TO EAR A SMILE WOULD GLEAM,

AFTER A WHILE I WAS BACK TO FULL STEAM,

NOW, IN EVERYTHING I DO I CAN SEE THAT,

THERE IS A SPECIAL HAND ON ME.

OUR JOURNEY TO THE GREAT WATERFALL

2011-02-05T09:05:00.000-08:00

ONE DAY, SOME TIME AGO, ME AND SOME FRIENDS OF MINE GOT OUR STUFF READY TO GO ON A HIKE, WE PLANNED TO GO UP SOME ROCKY TERRAIN, SO WE WORE SOME SHOES WITH BOTTOMS OF SPIKES, WE HEADED OUT EARLY ONE DAY, SO THAT WE HAD MOSTLY SUN WHILE WE MADE OUR WAY, WE NEEDED SUN UNTIL WE REACHED TO WHERE WE WERE GOING TO STAY,

WE HEARD ABOUT THIS GIANT WATERFALL, THAT WAS SO GRAND AND GLORIOUS,

YES, REACHING THIS LANDMARK WAS A MUST, WE HAD HEARD IT HAD IN IT SOME WONDERFUL FISH,

OH YES, ONE OF US HAD MADE THIS HIS ONLY WISH, ALONG OUR WAY WE SAW A LITTLE BIT OF WILDLIFE STIRRING THROUGH THE TREES, WHILE WE WERE HIKING WE ALSO FELT A NICE, COOL BREEZE, AS WE LOOKED AROUND THERE WERE SOME STREAMS, AND ALL KINDS OF NEAT LOOKING ROCKS ON THE GROUND, FINALLY WE HAD MADE IT TO THE GRANDEST OF THEM ALL,

THE ONE PEOPLE CALL THE GREAT WATERFALL,

THE WATER ROARED OVER THE MOUNTAIN SIDE AND DOWN TO A SMALL LAKE,

YES THE SIGHT OF THE WATERFALL WAS SOMETHING TO SEE,

IN THE STREAM BELOW THERE WERE EVEN SOME FISH,

VERY BIG TO SOME THAT WERE VERY TINY,

THE WATERFALL SEEMED TO HAVE A STORY TO TELL, YOU SEE,

YES THE GRAND WATERFALL HAD QUITE A HISTORY, AS THE WATER IN THE STREAM TRICKLED, YOU COULD HEAR THE BIRDS IN THE TREES GIVE A LITTLE WHISTLE,

AFTER A WHILE WE STARTED TO SMILE BECAUSE WE HAD ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING WE WANTED TO DO,

WHEN WE ALL GOT BACK HOME WE STARTED TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ON WHAT WE COULD DO NEXT,

AND WE ALL SHOUTED, "WOO HOO!"

HAVING A GREAT SISTER

2011-02-05T08:49:00.000-08:00

I REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE YOUNG, WE PLAYED CARDS AND WATCHED CARTOONS, YES, IT WAS GREAT, BUT THOSE DAYS PASSED TOO SOON,

WE STARTED GROWING UP AND HAVING MORE RESPONSIBILITIES, WE STARTED TO HAVE OUR OWN LIVES AND GO OUR OWN WAYS, OH HOW I MISS THE YOUNGER DAYS,

I KNOW YOU'RE SMART, AND ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST,

I KNOW YOU HAVE THAT SPECIAL ZEST.

WE WOULD KID AROUND AND TOGETHER WE WOULD HANG OUT, OH THOSE MEMORIES I WOULDN'T EVER WANT TO DO WITHOUT, AFTER SCHOOL WE EACH WENT OUR OWN WAYS,

ONE OF US MOVED WHILE THE OTHER WAS TO STAY,

NOW, ONCE IN A WHILE I MAKE OR GET A CALL,

WE ASK EACH OTHER HOW WE ARE GETTING ALONG,

WHEN YOU ARE HOME I ANSWER THE PHONE AND HEAR THE TALES YOU HAVE TO TELL, WE ASK EACH OTHER HOW EVERYONE IS DOING, AND WE BOTH SAY TO EACH OTHER, "VERY WELL,"

I KNOW IN MY HEART THAT WHATEVER WE DO,

YES, YOU KNOW IT'S VERY TRUE,

THAT NO MATTER WHERE LIFE TAKES US, NO MATTER WHAT WE DO,

I WILL ALWAYS KNOW IN MY HEART THAT, VERY MUCH, I LOVE YOU.

TREATING YOURSELF WHEN YOU FEEL BAD

2011-02-05T08:37:00.000-08:00

WITH ALL THAT PAIN YOUR BACK YOU'VE HAD, OTHERS WILL TELL YOU TO GO LYE DOWN ON A WARM HEATING PAD,

WHEN YOUR HEAD IS ACHING, WHEN IT'S REALLY A NAG, IT'S PROBABLY TIME TO TREAT IT WITH A BIG ICY BAG.

WHEN YOUR EYES ARE RED AND YOU'VE LOST YOUR ZING, THE CLOCK WILL SAY, "TIME FOR THE GREAT VISINE,"

WHEN YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, WHEN YOU DO ALL YOU CAN, IN THE END YOU'LL STAND UP AND SAY, "I AM THE MAN!",

DO WHAT THE DOCTOR TELLS YOU AND YOU'LL BE FEELING NEAT,

IN NO TIME AT ALL YOU'LL BE SKIPPING TO A BRAND NEW BEAT!

LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP OF A DOG

2011-02-05T08:30:00.000-08:00

DOGS ARE SMART,

YES, THAT'S TRUE

THEY KNOW WHEN

YOU'RE FEELING A LITTLE BLUE

SIMPLY SEEING THAT FACE WILL CHEER YOU UP,

NO, THERE'S NOTHING LIKE HAVING A PUP

AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU COME HOME,

YOUR FURRY FRIEND IS AT THE DOOR,

HE LOOKS UP AT YOU AS IF TO SAY,

"FORGET YOUR WORRIES, LET'S GO PLAY!"

YOU THROW A BALL DOWN THE HALL,

HE FETCHES IT AND HURRIES BACK,

HE GIVES YOU A "SMILE" AS IF TO SAY,

"I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT NEED SOME LOVE,

EVERYTHING WILL TURN OUT RIGHT, OKAY?"

YOU GO OUTSIDE AND TAKE HIM TO THE PARK,

THERE YOU CAN RUN, PLAY, MAKE NOISE AND BARK,

A DOG ALSO ENJOYS A GAME OF FRISBEE,

WHEN YOUR DOG CATCHES THE DISC IN

THE AIR LISTEN CAREFULLY, YOU'LL SWEAR YOU HEAR HIM YELL, "WHEE!"

YOU AND YOUR FRIEND GET BACK IN THE CAR,

BECAUSE OUTSIDE THERE ARE STARS,

YOUR DOG HANGS HIS HEAD OUT THE WINDOW

AS IF TO SAY, "THANKS FRIEND, I HAD A GREAT DAY."

WHEN YOU GET HOME YOU BOTH GET A DRINK,

WHEN YOU TURN AROUND, YOUR DOG GIVES

YOU A WINK!

YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR DOG'S THINKING,

YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE,

FOR ALL THE NICE THINGS YOU DO FOR HIM HE LOVES YOU,

IT'S THE END OF THE DAY, TIME FOR BED,

YOU GET SETTLED AND ON YOUR CHEST,

YOU FEEL A PRECIOUS FURRY HEAD!
