"Song of Myself" by Walt Whitman. (Actually ALL his poems I like)
Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night
by Dylan Thomas
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on that sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

"When I want to see you,I will see you in the stars;
when I want to feel you,I'll feel you when the rain
drops on my face;when I can't find my way home,
you will lead me to safety."
Native American Proverb
Don't really have any Favorite,since I read Poetry rather seldom,but every so often a piece strikes my fancy when I come across it.

Road-Song of the Bandar-Log
Here we go in a flung festoon,
Half-way up to the jealous moon!
Don't you envy our pranceful bands?
Don't you wish you had extra hands?
Wouldn't you like if your tails were--so--
Curved in the shape of a Cupid's bow?
Now you're angry, but--never mind,
Brother, thy tail hangs down behind!
Here we sit in a branchy row,
Thinking of beautiful things we know;
Dreaming of deeds that we mean to do,
All complete, in a minute or two--
Something noble and wise and good,
Done by merely wishing we could.
We've forgotten, but--never mind,
Brother, thy tail hangs down behind!
All the talk we ever have heard
Uttered by bat or beast or bird--
Hide or fin or scale or feather--
Jabber it quickly and all together!
Excellent! Wonderful! Once again!
Now we are talking just like men!
Let's pretend we are ... never mind,
Brother, thy tail hangs down behind!
This is the way of the Monkey-kind.
Then join our leaping lines that scumfish through the pines,
That rocket by where, light and high, the wild grape swings.
By the rubbish in our wake, and the noble noise we make,
Be sure, be sure, we're going to do some splendid things!

Not a poem but a song........
By Waylon........
Waylon Jennings - Woman You Need A Man
Capo 3
G
You sit there in sadness
D
All alone at the bar
And I know you weren't born that way
G
We become what we are
G
Was someone unfaithful
C
Is that why your heart aches
G D
One good thing about life girl
G
We can learn from mistakes
Chorus
C D
Woman you need a man
G
A new dream and a plan
C
You can't live in the past
D
The next love might last
G
Woman you need a man
I sit here and I watch you
Lord I'm hurting too
And I hope your not angry girl
At my talking to you
But it takes one to know one
And we're two of a kind
Full of bad thoughts and memory's
We must purge from are minds
Chorus 2
Woman you need a man
A new dream and a plan
Life is passing us by
Why not give love a try
Woman you need a man
Repeat Second Chorus
