Daniel,

Good job. Thank you for sharing.

A CALL TO GLORY

The power, the glory, the ecstasy and the truth
The love, the happiness, the joy and the youth
The will, the mind, the faith, the soul
The feeling of love will overcome us all

The man who seeks the truth through time
Is forever with love, forever sublime
The man who follows the fool beside
Will hide and seek and cover and lie

Love and beauty, children and friends
Peace and harmony will follow the trends
Dreamers who care and lovers who share
Will find the truth, the wisdom, and their youth

Share the light, share the feelings
Share the beauty, share the healing
Share the power, share the glory
Share the love, share the story
Share the feeling, share the joys
Share the happiness, share the toys

Become like children, experience the rebirth
Discover the love and discover your worth
The time is at hand, to live and prosper within the promised land
The land of love, the land of truth
The land of beauty, the land of our youth

Read and write, sing and dance
Follow your feelings, find romance
Find the secret, find the treasure
Find your love and you'll find the pleasure
Find the light and all will feel right
Because the magic of love has come from above.

AMERICA’S GREATEST CHALLENGE


Life is like a hurricane if we can reach the tranquility of the eye...
But beware the heartaches that may exist on the other side as the mighty hurricane passes you by…..

As Hurricane Katrina has taught us Mother Nature may bring destruction in her path……..for we were not prepared for the flooding that was a part of her wrath.

As this mighty hurricane formed off the United States gulf coast….we tried to evacuate and head for safer ground…
But still Katrina’s power crashed ashore for all to astound

At first there was relief that the storm had passed
But soon we were to discover that that security would not last
It seems that the levees that held back the water from New Orleans…
Had given way and broke at their seams
The water rushed in as the people were still unaware…
That their city was becoming a lake with stranded people on rooftops everywhere

As the days went on, the situation grew worse
It seemed that the city was under a curse
There was no electricity, and anarchy reigned
There were people sent to shelters with no plan for each day
In the Superdome, the Convention Center and on the streets...there was murder, and rape and chaos all around
Where was the Federal government to bring civility and security to this town?

The Federal response took days to arrive
It was a miracle that the sick and elderly were able to survive
But after five days of living hell
The relief and supplies came pouring in
But still the lack of communication made it difficult for the evacuation to begin.


As the helicopters flew in and the people were removed…

There were neighboring states where the people were taken
But we must not forget the people and property in Texas, Mississippi and Alabama ….they all must not be forsaken…

For they too have lost their homes and with them lives
It was a miracle that anyone who stayed on this coastline during Katrina and Rita could ride out the storm and continue to survive.

The challenge to America is now an ongoing effort to reach out and help our fellow man….to give what we can to help make a stand.

The Army it seems has sealed the breaks in the main levees and began to pump water from New Orleans back into the lake…
But it has taken many weeks to make this city dry
Oh, God we question the loss of humanity
Why, oh, why?

There were horrors that were hidden below the water, the rubble and debris
In the days, months and years to come this tragedy will continue to be
But even as the waters have seceded and the reconstruction has begun
It is the courage and resolve of these people that will shine like the sun

For through it all, Americans will band together and test their faith in God above…
Because these great cities of America will continue to be rebuilt with love

With the love for our fellow women and men…
America’s greatest challenge will be in the message to the world and our people of the compassion that we will continue to send.

A FATHER’S LOVE



Always being there by your side….
Holding you close when its time to cry
Always being there at your door
Keeping his children safe and secure
A father’s love is this and more
Always being there at your bed
Softly stroking and calming your head
Kneeling as you pray….feeling his love day after day.

A father’s love is always near
When you need his love, he will always hear
Coming to you in your hour of need
A father’s love is rare indeed.

Holding his hand as you walked through the sand
These are your moments together…may you keep them forever
In your mind…….
A father’s love will transcend time
In your heart he will always be
Giving you strength and keeping you company.

And when it’s time to say goodbye…..
A father’s love will give a hug and a sigh
For that might have just been the way…
That he wanted his spirit to live on day after day
Yes, a father’s love often means more to us then words can say.

A DIARY OF A PRINCESS


Let us look back and continue to remember a Princess….
She began as a Lady with a love for the children of her land
She became a Princess and soon became the envy of every woman and man
But deep down inside she longed to be loved
By the man who would be king
-Charles was his name-
Lady Diana Spencer married into the royal family
For this she gained her fame

But soon the fairy tale became a horror show
Her people thought she was happy….but they did not yet know
Of her marital problems that led her to become physically ill
But still she became a stout figure to the world spreading her love and good will

Her mental health suffered as her marriage became an affair for three
Diana could no longer bear the infidelity
So she secretly set forth to write her true story for the world to read
For she longed to become the Queen of Hearts….if a Princess she could no longer be

The world finally knew of the heartache she was going through
She needed to break free of the chains she found around her feet
-To help the average man on the street-
For Princess Diana always showed her love to her children as well as to others in the world
-And the people loved her back-
For compassion and love were always two virtues that Diana did not lack

But when it seemed that Diana had finally found a true love to start again
Her life was tragically taken in a car crash…as her fairytale came to an untimely end
Her death brought the world to tears as we all reflected back on her living years

She will remain the Queen of Hearts as she said she would want to be
Because this Lady who became a Princess can still have an affect on you and me
By just the mere mention of her name
Our world will never be the same
For the teardrops that we shed in her memory…
Will forever keep her candle in the wind a flame that burns brightly in our hearts.

Daniel,

You did a nice job on that.

The following letters were written by Princess Diana to her butler and close friend Paul Burrell. They’re included in his book “A Royal Duty”. The ‘crash letter’ tells of Diana’s
fears that she would die in a car crash a full 10 months before it actually happened. A new investigation is still underway in Britain as the letter has finally surfaced.

From October 1996:

“I am sitting here at my desk today in October, longing for someone to hug me and encourage me to keep strong and hold my head high. This particular phase in my life is the most dangerous.[ The princess then identified where she felt the threat and danger would come from] is planning “an accident” in my car, brake failure and serious head injury in order to make the path clear for Charles to marry.
I have been battered, bruised and abused mentally by a system for 15 years now, but feel no resentment, I carry no hatred, I am weary of the battles, but I will never surrender. I am strong inside and maybe that is a problem for my enemies.
Thank you Charles, for putting me through such hell and for giving me the opportunity to learn from the cruel things you have one to me. I have gone forward fast and have cried more than anyone will ever know. The anguish nearly killed me, but my inner strength has never let me down, and my guides have taken such good care of me up there. Aren’t I fortunate to have had their wings to protect me…….


From August 1996:

It’s the 28th August 1996- 15 years of marriage have now been signed off. I never wanted a divorce and always dreamed of a happy marriage with loving support from Charles. Although that was never meant to be, we do have two wonderful boys who are deeply loved by their parents. A part of me will always love Charles, but how I wish he’d looked after me and been proud of my work.
It has been a turbulent 15 years, having to face the envy, jealousy, and hatred from Charles’s friends and family-they have so misunderstood me and that has been painful and brought enormous heartache.
I want so much to become Charles’s best friend as I understand more than anyone what he is about and what makes him tick.


From October 1996:

I just long to hug my mother-in-law, and tell her how deeply I understand what goes on inside her. I understand the isolation, misconception and lies that surround her and feel very strongly HER disappointment and confusion. I so want the monarchy to survive and realize the changes that will take [sic] to put “the show” on a new and healthy track. I, too, understand the fear the family have about change but we must, in order to reassure the public, as their indifference concerns me and should not be.
I will fight for justice, and fight for my children and the monarchy…….
I call on you to draw your own conclusion as to if she was murdered and by whom. But Diana truly knew that something was wrong a full year before her death in 1997. Let us recall her life and remember the kind and generous woman she was and the legacy she left behind.

Daniel,

You did a nice job on that.

If I wrote a song about love
Would I seek guidance from above
If I wrote about the tragedy of the tsunami
Would the people care for more then a week
Would I help the meek
Or would it be a game of hide and seek

Poetry means more to me then just a show of words
Sometimes words can be seldom heard
What I seek is a lasting faith
To remind people of history gone past
Using my words to make the feelings last

So read my words and sing if you may
But please remember the events that happen everyday
And when you go to sleep at night .......
Don't forget to pray.

Why does it take a cause for stars to unite together
I thought this is what stars do when the common man is feeling blue
There are stars in heaven and stars on earth
But I'm still trying to figure out who has more worth
You can only wish apon a star but you can talk to a human "Star".
In most cases anyway, when the ego dosn't become involved.

So if the cause is right, they might come out to play
But will they bring their wallets to help the feeling stay
You see, stars can bring so much to the table that they forget who pays the bills when its not them
It's a matter of multiple millions which they all seem to have at home
They just need to focus those millions and not let the money rome.

Greetings fellow poets and fans of Lisa Marie. As most of you know I have been posting my poetry in Lisa's forum for over a year.
