Poem of the Week

By Ralph J. Adams
GOLFING
When I go golfing with others
Oh!! How hard I try to hit par
While they drive a ball a distance
And my drives never go very far.
So many don't seem to enjoy the game
They call their clubs so many vile names
And on the green when they miss the hole
It's because of a little leaf on the green I am told.
When on the course just enjoy the view
Compete with yourself and not the rest of the crew
Laugh when your ball goes astray
And don't cry over every ball you lost that day.
I know what I may never be a Pro
Everyone tries to teach me everything that they know
But I may be dense and not seem to recall,
Because after I have swung,
I am still too close to the ball.
Now when the game is over
And 18 holes have been done
I can say I had a wonderful day
And I can say I had fun.
But listening to others it is quite a bore
To listen to what they should have scored.
And looking at their score is a joke,
Because I know they didn't count every stroke.
I am not complaining as I enjoy this game
I just go along with others and listen to them complain
The probably love the game just as much as me
But they should put a smile on their face
And enjoy the game just like me.

EMOTIONS
|
Emotions are a funny thing
We try to hold inside,
I don't know if it's because you're scared
Or maybe you are too shy.
It won't hurt to just open up
And express what's in your heart
Just tell someone you love them
Would be a wonderful start.
Love is a funny thing
A funny thing to express,
We keep it within our soul
It is no good when suppressed
Just open up to a loved one,
And look into their eye
And tell them how much they mean to you
With a tear drop or a sign.
Your life will be then wide open
And you would have expressed your view
And two hearts would be so lighter
And how much better you would feel

PORTRAITS
|
I hope dear one, you care for me
As much as I for you.
For you are part of all my thoughts
And everything I do.
And you are of everything of all…
The dreams there are in me.
Each moment at your side becomes…
A sweeter memory…
You have really not told me but…
Somehow I feel quite sure
The promise that you made me is…
The kind that will endure.
There is a certain something in…
Your eyes and in your smile
A sort of whispering that this,
Is not just for a while.
That it will last forever and…
My dreams will all come true.
My dreams and happiness,
Will be sharing my life with you.
