Shining Star
Looking back at what I had, maybe I'm just going mad. The voices they could all be lying, gives the reason to stop the crying. Could take a while for me to sleep, my mind, my thoughts they go to deep. Times will lose & times will win, but
Welcome To New CS Poets
There has been a lot of activity recently here on Poetry Corner. Several of the more senior poets seem to have taken a break. Let's hope they return soon. In the meantime, several new poets have appeared. This piece is a welcome to them. Poetry is larger than any individual or group of indivduals. The show must go on. I invite all poets, including the new, to post their views on Poetry Corner. We can all benefit from each others' views. Thanks!

I was really concerned that my boy was mixing with the wrong crowd .........he believes lifelong friendships should not be put aside because they choose to do the wrong things.......... i thought he would be misled instead his influence is actually making them look at what they are doing.........

Choice of life!
I did my choice, when one of my Son's was still a child, I grow into it, and so did my Son too and the beauty of the Flower of it, I felt in last Sunday, even I start to cry, as my Son call me from Russia and told, that the Stem-cells he has invent, originally taken from the blood,has clearly start to grow in the two first patients who where operated one month ago for Spinalcord damages and injected with these Stem-cells. Their legs and foots has start to move and the lover part of their Bodies can feel the touch again and they both feel how their life is coming back. My cry was a cry of happiness, knowing that all these people in Wheelchairs has now the possibility to get their Life back.

The Knight's sword
This poem is from the perspective of a sword; it also is a double entendre on how a sword is crafted as well as how a knight's character is developed. It's also a bit personal to me too because it ties in my resolve also. Enjoy!

The Wings.
I was close with an Lady 2 years ago and when we walk outside on my Property, she stop to walk and was looking up to the sky. I did then the same and I could see a Bird circling around going higher and higher like in a spiral and already so very high that it was diving some times into the cloud. She then said to me," I had really like to be that bird and fly high in the sky" and then she clearly followed with like pain in her voice," but my Parents never give me Wings"!

Ich bin ganz zufrieden (I am quite happy)
I wrote the poem to say that what I lack is not as important as my serenity and everything I'm blessed with. So many people complain and are resentful and I am grateful for what I do have and I learned how to give thanks for it. Life can be lonely but even then I look forward to every day and appreciate being happy is all I need most in life.
