Poem: I Will Listen & Protect You My Child!

Poem: 

I Will Listen & Protect You My Child!

I listen to you when you cry,

I even listen when you lie. 

You think that I don't care, 

So these words with you I share. 

I have always listened and heard, 

Each and every single word.

I might not respond like you think I should, 

Or exactly like you thought I would. 

Sometimes you will never know, 

The action that I show. 

When your words are said to me, 

It is the pain you speak I see. 

So when you think I do nothing, 

Know I have done something. 

I just don't want you to see, 

How much it also hurts me! 

I take time to react, think and do- 

And take care of those that hurt you. 

You aren't meant to see how I get it done, 

You are only meant to know that we won! 

You are a part of me my child, 

And although you may seem wild.... 

I will always protect you, love you, and want you. 

Yes I care, yes I want to help, so I do! 

I am your parent- that's what my job is! 

Poem: I Don't Know...

I don't know.....

  I don't like the things you've done to me,

I don't like what you've said....

I don't like what you turned out to be-

And I don't like what I've read!

You've always an excuse to give,

It is never your fault....

No matter how hard I try to live;

You teach me what I don't want taught!

I don't know where it all went array,

I don't know how to make it right.....

But I'm too old for the games you play;

And I'm no longer part of this fight!

Here we go again, trying to correct everything,

Turn a wrong into a right-

But it's really hard to do anything....

When all we do is fight!

You take credit for everything,

You lie to my face-go behind my back-

Say things that mean something and nothing...

And have the gull to make a wise crack!

You think that I am stupid,

I know that you do!

Because if you didn't,

You'd know these words were to you!

Poem: A Child

A Child

Tiny fingers wrapped around mine,

Eyes the color of a cloud-

Love from the very first sign;

It's times that this that make you proud.

Cries so sad- it makes you sad,

Rocking in your arms singing a song-

Smiles so pretty it makes you glad;

Knowing all of this is far from wrong.

This child of yours you love so much,

Give it your love from head to toe-

Loving it more with each gentle touch;

Admiring every minute as you watch it grow!

Thank the Lord for this wonderful gift,

Counting fingers and toes next to your lips-

Taking every moment, not going adrift;

Bouncing your child upon your hips!

This is your gift to the World in which we live,

Something to love, guide and mold-

Sharing this with the World with all that you give;

This is by heavens a true piece of gold!

Here I am laying in bed,

All these thoughts are racing through my head---

Tossing and turning- trying to remember;

Was it something I did,or something I said?!

Poem: Why Do I Write?

Why Do I Write?

I Just Thought You Might like to Know......

Deneale K. Williams, Yahoo Contributor Network
Sep 3, 2007

I don't write to impress you,
I don't write because I have to-
I write because I want to;
And it's stuff you might relate to.
~
Some people might think I mean to hurt someone,
Others might think I may have said too much--
My words aren't meant to hurt anyone;
And I hope you don't take my words as such!
~
I have things troubling me---
As if you can't already tell,
Writing is what helps me to see,
Although I don't do it so swell!
~
If something I say has bothered you,
I do want to apologize from the bottom of my heart;
But no one is forcing you to read this through-
And no one told you to read from the start!
~
I was taught long ago to write how I feel,
When I do it this way I cause a lot less damage--
Sometimes it helps me to focus on what is real;
And help me to act more like my age!
~
Yes, sometimes I hold things in that I shouldn't,
I know that it is something I need to change;
And then there's times that I wish I couldn't--
And my mouth fires off like a twelve gage!
~
A lot of my life has been mistakes,
I'm sure I'm not the only one too--
I've had my share of gives and takes;
No matter what it is I do!
~
So what it is that I'm trying to say here,
Is don't hate me for what I've written or said--
Maybe you should just look in the mirror,
If you can relate to anything you've read!
~
In other words if you feel that I have written something about you,
Perhaps maybe I have- but allow me to explain why---
This is how I get it off my chest and the way I make it through;
I'd rather write and get paid, then sit here and cry!!

WHO Needs WHO?

~ I might be a little dumb,
I might like to help out...
If I see a street bum;
My heart falls out!!
~
So when I can help others,
That's what I like to do...
We're all sisters and brothers;
Unless it's me you screw!
~
So if you're one of those types,
Who like to end a friendship quick...
That kind of friendship bites!!--
And you make me sick!!!

Always true.
Giving you my love...
Through and through.

Poem: Mother~In~Law!

Mother-In-Law

Deneale K. Williams, Yahoo Contributor Network
Nov 16, 2007

Although our relationship to date is much better then what it was in the 80's, 

I still dedicate this to my Mother-in-Law: Judy Williams. And to future Mothers-in-Laws, I tell you this:
strive to be different and succeed at what you strive!
Don't follow in the foot steps of the one before you, good or bad.
Be yourself, and be the best you can be and more!

Mother-In-Law!
I try so hard to please,
No matter what I do...
I'd love to put our minds at ease;
And know the fights are through.
~
Sometimes I wonder why,
We can't see eye to eye.
~
I want to be your friend,
I try to love you so...
Yet it doesn't seem to mend;
We're neither friend or foe.
~
Sometimes I wonder why,
Yet all I do is cry!
~
I know you have tried,
Or so you have said...
Many tears I have cried;
Since your son and I wed!
~
I know you can be nice,
Yet, you treat me like ice?
~
Sooner or later you will see,
What your son and I make...
Is a love that will always be;
The kind that makes you ache!
~
Sometimes I wonder why,
And if we'll ever see eye to eye!

Poem: Lying

 Lying!

Deneale K. Williams, Yahoo Contributor Network
Nov 16, 2007

~
Tell me only part,

 

And trouble will start.

I want to know it all,

No matter what the call.

If you can't tell me why,

Then what "story" should I buy?

What is the reason in a lie,

To see "who" it will make cry?

If you can't give me honesty,

Then our relationship is out of this policy!

So until you learn how,

Stay away from me for now!

Someday you'll see the light,

And you will do what's right!

Don't let lying make you,

'Cause sooner or later---

It will break you!!

Poem: Life A New!

Life a New!

Deneale K. Williams, Yahoo Contributor Network
Nov 16, 2007

~
Something inside of me growing,

 A love that is worth knowing.

It's a shame a man can't know,

What this feeling is like as it grows.

I must admit some of it is pain,

But in the end you have a love to gain.

After nine months have gone by,

You'll be so touched- you just might cry!

Looking at a baby as precious as can be,

Gives life a new meaning you're sure to see!

~
I wrote this once I became pregnant with my fifth child in the Winter of 1992. I gave birth to her on June 25, 1993.

Poem: From a Distance

From a Distance

Deneale K. Williams, Yahoo Contributor Network

 

Someone loves you-
But do you know?
A love you haven't had;
A love that can't grow.
~
Someone loves you-
From a distance you see;
Will you ever really know-
And will it ever be?
~
You already have your own true love;
You are happy as can be-
But yet someone loves you-
A love that will never be!

Poem: Stop Lying to Your Own Mother!

Stop Lying to Your Own Mother!

Deneale K. Williams, Yahoo Contributor Network
Jan 18, 2008

Why do you lie to your own Mother? I know I raised you better!
I raised you like no other-
Right down to the letter!
~
So if you want to lie-
Tell stories like you do;
Making people around you cry-
You need to get a clue!!
~
This is not how people act,
It is unprofessional and rude-
Start acting with some tact;
Before you turn into a prude!!

Poem: Just Making Sure~~~~

Just Making Sure----

Deneale K. Williams, Yahoo Contributor Network
Mar 28, 2008

Do you hear me when I talk to myself? Do you listen when I say things in my head?
There are so many people, not just me!--
Often I wonder-would you rather be listened to instead?
~
I have been doing a lot of thinking lately,
Learned a lot about myself and my mistakes--
Although I may not have changed completely;
Life still has its gives and takes!
~
I've been talking to You when I'm bored,
Talking to You as I fall asleep too--
Been putting pieces of my life back together;
I've even made certain to thank You too!
~
All I need from You now,
Is plain and simple you see--
I need from You guidance;
To make the new improved : "ME!"
~
You've helped many of people before me,
Famous, the poor, the weary, the lost--
I've always had You in my life you see;
I became distracted, and paid with a cost.
~
I know You will help me,
You never turn anyone down--
Together You can help and guide me;
And we can turn my life around.
~
Within this poem is a prayer you see,
I am asking for Your guidance and wisdom;
And whatever else that may need be--
Seeking my latter reward in your Kingdom!
~
Place your hand on my shoulder,
Lead me to do what is right--
Guide me like all of your Children;
And bless me with this fight!
~
~
This poem, in case you were unable to understand and follow it, is asking for the guidance from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Sometimes I feel life is and has always thrown me curve balls and the Devil is always interfering. I wrote this so that you too, the reader can see, none of us are perfect. We all make our share of mistakes. We all have our share of trials and tribulations. I know to ask Him, to stand with us-me, and yes-you. Remain strong, and focused. As the bible states in the Lord's prayer itself: "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from Evil." Don't be afraid to ask for help. He is listening, even when you think He is not, have faith- He loves you, and is always there for you.

Poem: At My Wits End!

At My Wits End!

Deneale K. Williams, Yahoo Contributor Network
Jun 7, 2008

I don't know what is going on, I try to understand-
I wish I could change the way things are.....
And maybe make a stand.
~
But I cannot continue on this way,
So I pray to God every night-
That He may be able to help me....
And soon I could win this fight!
~
The lack of sleep, the achy nights,
Nothing seeming to help-
I lay there crying silently....
Wishing that I could just melt!
~
Everyone likes to make fun,
Assume things that are not fact-
Make their wise assed comments....
And they don't even do it with tact!!
~
You don't know me,
None of you do-
So pretending that you know....
You don't have a clue!!
~
I struggle on a daily basis,
Trying to do things that I could normally do-
I can no longer do the things that I love....
I am no longer the person I was.........................................
~
I have lost myself,
I have given up on me-
I don't know what to do anymore......
I don't even want to be seen!!
~
I used to think I was strong,
But there is only so much a person can take-
Something needs done you know.....
Until then, I'll just lay here and fake!!!
~
Yes, I'm fed up.
~
What is this poem about?

Being recently disabled and unable to do things because the Doctors keep passin' the buck, layin' blame,and not caring, after all- it isn't them that is in pain, agony and feeling so worthless!! I can no longer run and jump and play with my kids, I can't do a lot of things. And because I am fat- that is all ANYONE see's, and ASSUMES that is my problem. I was active and fat before this injury!

I was hurt at work, and now live to regret it. Obviously I have done something majorly wrong on my road of life, because I think this is revenge for something! I am sorry if my words offended you, I am just loosing it, and fed up. Don't hate me because I'm fat, hate me for a real reason would ya?!?! (LOL Now tell me that last comment was not funny!!! LOL)

Poem: the Flu

The Flu

Many times you get the flu,

 

And you don't know what to do.

Stomachs churning,

Fevers burning.

Under a blanket in your bed,

On your pillow- an achy head!

Soup and ginger ale to help you through,

Medicine and rest is what to do.

When you wake the next day,

All is well, and you're ready to play!

This was originally written on May 23, 1992. 
I wrote it in tears....

My Mother died of Cancer on May 27, 1992.

I love and miss you Mommy!

I don't want you to leave,
I don't want to let you go....
Yet it's you I deceive;
I never let you know.
~
Soon your life may end,
And all I do is cry....
Hoping you will mend;
Then you won't have to die.
~
I know you are in pain,
I know it isn't fair...
Someday you may gain;
And beat this nightmare!
~
Fighting may someday pay,
So always have the will....
Win over this disease today;
"Cause I know you've had your fill!

Thank You for Being There

What words best describe what you've done?

Well....you came into my heart and won.

You saved my world from falling down,

Lifted my heart and soul from the ground.

Every time I wonder about going astray,

I'm reminded of you, and the role you play.

You helped my family to grow,

Learn right from wrong and how to know.

You are my shining star from above,

And what you gave-is better then love.

I will remember those who led us together,

For now I know-I can outshine the weather!

Thank you for lifting me as I began to fall,

And for being there when I needed you most of all!

Make a Difference

Green leaves hanging in the tree's,
Blowing with the breeze.
Birds in the sky flying amidst the clouds,
Looking at this must make God proud. Although nature is good,
Doesn't mean that's how it should.
Looking around you will see,
Everything ain't how it should be!
Drugs and disease overcoming all,
You can't avoid an early call....
In God's eyes, we must be a disgrace;
And to think-WE look this World in the face!
It really makes me wonder,
Too many thoughts to ponder...
What should we do-or is it too late?--
We need the Lord to end this fate.
So, if you want to be smart,
You too, can do your part!
Turn to the Lord today,
And start living the word in His way!
If we spread His word around,
Then soon enough, out World may be found!
And again the birds will sing their songs,
And we'll end the path where we went wrong!

Stand Beside Me!

Just Me and You.....

If only the stars could help me see,

Then maybe I'd know what to do;

The sun, the moon, high above the tree's....

Gazing at them, yet all I see-is you.

 

Often, you make me feel good inside,

Smiling at you, so you smile back;

Feelings that I think you want to hide....

Sometimes I wonder if it's just an act.

So if I ever find our love true,

Knowing inside it does stand a chance;

Though if you see you've made me blue....

Then it's my heart you enhance.

You've stood tall with me by your side,

Walking along, not loosing our stride;

Realizing how lucky we must be....

Holding hands, just dreaming...you and me!

Stand with me, and make my dreams come true........

Together forever, just me and you!

Poem: What is Your Problem?

What is Your Problem?

Deneale K. Williams, Yahoo Contributor Network

Who are you to judge me?

Why do you lie like you do?

What is your problem---

Why can't you just be cool?

  Have you no decency? 

Weren't you raised to know? 

What is your problem---

Why can't you just go?

You don't know me, 

Never have, never will! 

What is your problem--- 

Why can't you just chill?

You need to wake up, 

Maybe then you will see; 

What your problem really is--- 

Because Dude, it isn't me!
