Cypher i feel myself daily, fade away, i feel there is less of me, today, i feel inside of me, melt like clay, i feel no feelings, sad to say, i feel old longings, no longer play, i feel old friendships, gone to stay, I feel no trust, none to betray, i feel every color, turn to gray, i feel love inside me, begin to fray, i feel no emotion, no tears allay, I feel no sadness, no glum array, I feel empty deep, to my dismay, i feel some madness, look of fey, i feel each night, not turn to day, i feel great pressure, on me weigh, i feel each part off me, doom decay, i feel the scent of death's bouquet, i feel the end is on its way. © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤

A Girls' Life I see a sea of girls' freckled faces, long pigtails and wire braces. I see a sea of girls' mascaraed faces, curled eyelashes and rouge traces. I see a sea of girls' ruby lipped faces, teasing eyes, and kiss surprises. I see a sea of girls' open heart faces, pleasing eyes, and love arises. I see a sea of girls' family life faces, giving days, and fruitful ways. I see a sea of girls' full-lived faces, hope fulfilled and plans well-played. I see a sea of girls' life-lined faces, lovely creases and smiles un-ceased. I see a sea of girls' aged faces, world wizened and wind worn beauty. I see a sea of girls' sleeping faces, time-worn and time completed duty. © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image:   By middlewick

Maternal Affection Edward Hodges Baily ~ 1837 Mother Mother's pain in giving birth, shows the cost of nurture's worth. Mother molds the little life, shows how to handle strife. Mother's heart is full of hope, shows her child how to cope. Mother's life is full of care, shows her child how to share. Mother's joy to raise a child, shows the pleasure in her smile. Mother's power to model strength, shows a tower in life's length. Mothers build a comfort nest, shows the place to find life's rest. Mothers knows the right and true, shows the child to carry through. Mothers model many roles, shows how to conquer goals. Mother's words fill child's heart, shows the courage to live apart. Mother lives her life for others, thank the Lord who sent us mothers. © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image:  Ayesha Azhar CC-BY-SA-2.0-uk via Wikimedia Commons

A G+ friend  +ashley bateson  said he read a  children's poem  I wrote to a five year old friend of his. She said she liked it, but said it needed a koala bear. So, I wrote a poem about koala bears. I hope she enjoys it (and all of you)! Koala Bears Australia is the place they stay, in the trees they spend their day. Plump and fuzzy koala bears, they have funny, hairy ears. If you call them bears, it's not unusual, the real name is of course, marsupial. Sharp claws help them to climb, see them in a tree sometime. Koalas like eucalyptus trees, love to chew upon the leaves. Sit in nooks or forks to sleep for eighteen hours, what a treat! A smell like cough drops fill the air, from the leaves they eat up there. Cheeks are stuffed, they eat so many, they need to find trees aplenty! When not in trees they run so fast, hurry, look, they run right past! Pouches are where baby cubs stay, on mommy's belly joeys love to lay. Do you h...

The sights you see The sights you see all around, in the sky and on the ground. The butterfly flies up to the skies, right before your very eyes. The big bullfrog croaks and hums, sounds like a big, hollow drum. The hoot owl hoots up in the tree, sees as far as his eyes can see. The sights you see all around, in the sky and on the ground. The firefly flickers off and on, leads you hither, leads you yon. The cricket chirps her cheerful tune, beneath the shining, summer moon. The bunny hops and never stops, until he finds some clover tops. The sights you see all around, in the sky and on the ground. The sparrow flits here and there, chirping loud and chirping clear. The groundhog waddles like a duck, thought the mud and through the muck. The dragonfly's wings flap fast and furious, I love to watch him. I'm so curious. The sights you see all around, in the sky and on the ground. © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image by:  By J....
