Precious Nieces

Nieces Poem

Nieces

Cherished daughters of fertile lineage

...promising queens of the bountiful line

Nieces wholly admired and adored

...structured firmly by virtuous family values

...encouraged to be civilized and upstanding

Women of richly blessed destiny

...exemplary mothers, and matriarchs to be

Nieces, daughters, sisters, friends and leaders

...prepared fittingly for eternity's end

Firm in the ideals of self-respect and wisdom

...majestic young ladies of forever gleeful light

Females illuminate in the creator’s choice

...divine gifts of households believing

Nieces of mothers’ joyful love

...delightful fathers’ prized princesses

Honored girls of noble abode highlighted

...the grand role of niece is theirs to be

Favored title in the dear clan

...esteemed nieces of treasured legacy

Sometimes older than uncle or auntie

...their regal status secured in the tent no less

Beloved Nephews

Nephew Poem

Young brother, buddy and family confidant

...cultivating in the form of Godly kin elders

Humanizing beloved masters

...maturing amply in love and sincere regard

Nephews revered and prized young men

...leaders of tomorrow and model citizens

Taught in virtuous principles of light

...instructions in survival and gentlemanly mannerisms

Uncles and aunts stern in correction

...whenever a nephew is wayward

Believing in firm discipline and respect

...the youthful relatives discover control

Child of the bounteous estate eternal

...encircled by role models and telling seniors

Nephews of upright substance and ideals

...progressing honorably in sound spirit

...and true purpose

Unselfish contributors of tomorrow's grace

...pioneers and decent citizens of first-rate

Fashioned lovingly in God-fearing homes

...sons of the soil maintain the enriched legacy

My Wife

Poem: My wife Terry

Terry is my wife
she is the love of my life

Terry is my friend
and the lover I defend

She is the mother of my children
I won’t trade her for the world

Terry means so much to me
I am happy when I'm with she

Terry is my other half
with her- we are a full staff

She is an understanding one
that I am blessed to have won

She makes me feel like a man
That, I can't withstand

She is the ideal wife
and with her, I spend the rest of my life

In good times and in bad
in happiness and when I'm sad
Terry is my wife and I'm glad!

Give Me My Island

Poem: Give me my island

Give me my island...
give me my home
It's what I long for
when away I roam

Give me my island
the beach and the sand
enjoying all the beauty around and around

Give me my island
zephyr and the sun
relaxing outside and having lots of fun

Give me my island
my friends and foes
living together and on the go

Give me my island
the music and the food
people living easy in a festive mood

Give me my island
the place of my birth
wouldn't change it for another land on earth

Friends

My Friends Poem

My friends are truly my friends
no matter what

All of my friends can be kind
no matter what

Many of my friends are understanding
no matter what

Few of my friends are selfish
no matter what

All of my friends are indeed my friends
no matter what

Approved spirits after my own heart

no matter what

Many of my friends are usually lively
no matter what

Few of my friends are boring
no matter what

Whatever's the case
my friends will always be my brace!

My Coffee

My Coffee Poem

Coffee anytime!

The addictive aroma of the morning brew
…fills the room with memorable verve
The brisk appetite longs for another sip
…the usual routine’s animate

Coffee’s the daily soothing companion
…the approved motivator of a classic day
One romantic nip at a time
…taking pleasure in the accustomed rhyme

An appropriate delicious beverage and pal
…sets the ideal tune for a wonderful agenda
A few steaming cups of nature’s best
…keeps me longing steadfastly for more

A new study on the mysterious pick-me-up
…pros and cons debate its effects
Drinking contentedly on - nonetheless
…in humble moderation and gladness

Randomly through the hours
…a perfect mate and tasteful complement
In the morning, afternoon or night
…my coffee is justly always alright

Motivation

Poem: Motivation

Lifted by graceful confidence…

Moved by practical drive

Motivation’s the lively call…

Reasons to proceed boldly in wealth

Willing to confront the anticipated challenges…

Energy’s the partner in pursuit

The prize of glory tolerantly waits…

For the enduring soul’s root

Stimulated by the call to success…

Focused gratification and preferred outcome

Purposeful and insistent…

The cause is worth the time’s sum

Indeed the flow of predictable reality…

Manifesting in efforts and confidence

Excitement in productivity…

Thrilled by steadfastness

Justified in reasons…

Fulfilling the goal

Motivation’s the virtue…

In creditable deeds of salvation true
