Poems From The Jersey Shore 3 - Inspirational Favorites
Another week at the beach
It has really been interesting this week at the Jersey Shore or as us locals simply call it, “the beach.” No longer are we allowed to venture out to walk along the boardwalk or beach. It is something I miss.
It is so freeing both in mind and body to just feel the ocean breeze and hear the waves pounding against the shore line.
it also means I haven’t been able to take my own photos or sketch my drawings. In light of what’s going on I decided to devote this weeks poems to more of a an inspirational tone. I hope you enjoy the third installment.
As always stay safe and here‘s to everything getting back to normal.
Wings of Prayer
A poem I wrote about the importance and need for prayer.
Close you eyes
Open your heart
Feel the cares
Of this world depart
As you lift your voice
To god above
And yield yourself
To the father’s love
Closer and closer
He’ll draw you near
Soon his soft voice
You will hear
Lift you voice higher and higher
On the wings of prayer
No matter who, no matter where
Lift you voice higher
On the wings of prayer
God does not like
To sit idly by
He wants to be involved
In your life
He wants to constantly
Hear from you
With prayer and praise and
Thanksgivings too
So lift you voice
In song and prayer
Lift your voice higher and higher
On the wings of prayer
Where Love Is
Where love is
The heart is light
Each new day dawns
Fresh and bright
Where love is
The face is painted
With a smile
And all things seem
So worthwhile
Where love is
There is hope
Cause’ you have a savior
To help you cope
Where love is
The heart sings a new song
To give you comfort
When things go wrong
Where love is
Two hearts become one
A knot is tied
That can’t be undone
Love is forever
It has a beginning
But no end
So blessed are those that
Walk in love
Especially when tied
To god above.
Words
Words are something we take for granted. God says out of the same mouth can come curses and words of encouragement. This poem is about using the right words.
Words can build you up
Words can tear you down
We’re throwin’ them words
Around
Your day is goin’ bad
You need a word to
To make you feel glad
Someone says something cruel
You’re hurtin’ inside
Feelin’ the fool
Words can build you up
Words can tear you down
We’re throwin’ them words
Around
Try to do what is right
It’s always wrong
In you parent’s sight
Tell you you’ll never
Amount to nothin’
Why even try
You hide in your room
Start to cry
Words can build you up
Words can tear you down
We’re throwin’ them words
Around
Kids in school call you names
Never meant to hurt you
To them it’s just a game
But the words cut like knife
Deep to your soul
Shape your life
Words can build you up
Words can tear you down
We’re throwin’ them words
Around
Home
I wrote this poem based on the idea that home is place in our memories. A place that may not be the same as we remember but it is still dear to our heart. It is a place where we get part of life’s inspirations.
I went back to the house
Where I was raised
The place looked a lot smaller
Then in those gone by days
The grass was not mowed
Flower beds were full of weeds
They had even cut down
That old sycamore tree
The porch where i sat with my girlfriend
On those hot summer nights
Was all littered with
Hastily discarded bikes
The house looked in need
Of a new coat of paint
How could the new owners
Let my memories fade away
Fade away
Can’t go back to the
Way it was
Time forces the past to
Fade away fade away
As I stood there a lot of
Emotions ran through my mind
Gone was that special place
My heart was hoping to find
And with it all the memories
That were created there for me
I could not catch one glimpse
Of the past i came to see
With one last look i got in the car
And started the engine
And thought it is really true
You can’t go home again.
Love Binds Us
An inspiring poem about love in a marriage or close friendshi.
Love binds us as one
Deep within our hearts
What love joins together
Can never be torn apart
Once separate
Our lives are now set
On a new course
For richer or poorer
Better or worse
Traveling together
Down the river of life
The happiest times will be
When you’re by my side
We’re 2 into 1
We’re 2 into 1
What freinship has
Bound in the heart
Can’t be undone
It is a knot tied tight
That won’t slip
Outta our sight
We’re 2 into 1
We’re 2 into 1
We’re friends forever
Even death won’t tear us apart
Cause of the love we have for god
And each other
Deep within our hearts
So until then we will cherish
Each and every day
Cause we’re friends forever
Nothing can stand in our way
We’ll always be around
To help each other out
When were feelin down
When we’re feel in doubt
We’re friends foreve
