You Still Have Hope

If you can look at the sunset and smile, then you still have hope.

If you can find beauty in the colors of a small flower, then you still have hope.

If you can find pleasure in the movement of a butterfly, then you still have hope.

If the smile of a child can still warm your heart, then you still have hope.

If you can see the good in other people, then you still have hope.

If the rain breaking on a roof top can still lull you to sleep, then you still have hope.

If the sight of a rainbow still makes you stop and stare in wonder, then you still have hope.

If the soft fur of a favored pet still feels pleasant under your fingertips, then you still have hope.

If you meet new people with a trace of excitement and optimism, then you still have hope.

If you give people the benefit of a doubt, then you still have hope.

If you still offer your hand in friendship to others that have touched your life, then you still have hope.

If receiving an unexpected card or letter still brings a pleasant surprise, then you still have hope.

If the suffering of others still fills you with pain and frustration, then you still have hope.

If you refuse to let a friendship die, or accept that it must end, then you still have hope.

If you look forward to a time or place of quiet and reflection, then you still have hope.

If you still buy the ornaments, put up the Christmas tree or cook the supper, then you still have hope.

If you can look to the past and smile, then you still have hope.

If, when faced with the bad, when told everything is futile, you can still look up and end the conversation with the phrase..."yeah...BUT.," then you still have hope.

Hope is such a marvelous thing. It bends, it twists, it sometimes hides, but rarely does it break. It sustains us when nothing else can. It gives us reason to continue and courage to move ahead, when we tell ourselves we'd rather give in.

Hope puts a smile on our face
when the heart cannot manage.

Hope puts our feet on the path when our eyes cannot see it.

Hope moves us to act
when our souls are confused of the direction.

Hope is a wonderful thing, something to be cherished and nurtured, and something that will refresh us in return.

And it can be found in each of us, and it can bring light into the darkest of places.

Never lose hope !

Today I Smiled


Today I smiled, and all at once
Things didn't look so bad.
Today I shared with someone else,
A little bit of hope I had.
Today I sang a little song,
And felt my heart grow light.
I walked a happy little mile,
With not a cloud in sight.
Today I worked with what I had,
And longed for nothing more,
And what had seemed like only weeds,
Were flowers at my door.
Today I loved a little more,
And complained a little less.
And in the giving of myself,
I forgot my weariness.

On Highway 109

A drunk man in an Oldsmobile
They said had run the light
That caused the six car pileup
On 109 that night.

When broken bodies lay about
And blood was everywhere,
The sirens screamed out eulogies,
For death was in the air.

A mother, trapped inside her car,
Was heard above the noise;
Her plaintive plea near split the air:
Oh, God, please spare my boys!"

She fought to loose her pinned hands;
She struggled to get free,
But mangled metal held her fast
In grim captivity

Her frightened eyes then focused
On where the back seat once had been,
But all she saw was broken glass and
Two children's seats crushed in.

Her twins were nowhere to be seen;
She did not hear them cry,
And then she prayed they'd been thrown free,
Oh, God, don't let them die!"

Then firemen came and cut her loose,
But when they searched the back,
They found therein no little boys,
But the seat belts were intact.

They thought the woman had gone mad
And was traveling alone;
But when they turned to question her,
They discovered she was gone.

Policemen saw her running wild
And screaming above the noise
In beseeching supplication,
Please help me find my boys!

They're four years old and wear blue shirts;
Their jeans are blue to match."
One cop spoke up, "They're in my car,
And they don't have a scratch.

They said their daddy put them there
And gave them each a cone,
Then told them both to wait for Mom
To come and take them home.

I've searched the area high and low,
But I can't find their dad.
He must have fled the scene,
I guess, and that is very bad."

The mother hugged the twins and said,
While wiping at a tear,
"He could not flee the scene, you see,
For he's been dead a year."

The cop just looked confused and asked,
"Now, how can that be true?"
The boys said, "Mommy, Daddy came
And left a kiss for you."

He told us not to worry
And that you would be all right,
And then he put us in this car with
The pretty, flashing light.

But, We wanted him to stay with us,
Because we miss him so,
But Mommy, he just hugged us tight
And said he had to go.

He said someday we'd understand
And told us not to fuss,
And he said to tell you, Mommy,
He's watching over us."

The mother knew without a doubt
That what they spoke was true,
For she recalled their dad's last words,
"I will watch over you."

The firemen's notes could not explain
The twisted, mangled car,
And how the three of them escaped
Without a single scar.

But on the cop's report was scribed,
In print so very fine,
An angel walked the beat tonight
On Highway 109.

Wow Shellie, those are awesome!!

thank you milla...i really enjoy them .

When I'm online your words are always there

I type my love for you On the computer screen
Never will you truly know Just how much you mean
Some may say it's crazy But I don't really care
They could never understand all that we have shared
All the nights you've spent with me Felt like you were here
Always with an open heart And an open ear
I never had to wonder If you truly care
Because when I turn on my computer your words are always there


~Author Unknown~

another personal favorite.....

You're my friend

When you are sad.....I will dry your tears.
When you are scared.....I will comfort your fears.
When you are worried.....I will give you hope.
When you are confused.....I will help you cope.
And when you are lost.....And can't see the light,
I shall be your beacon.....Shining ever so bright.

"If it is dry, it must be made wet with drool, milk, or toilet water."
-Unknown Author

....please feel free to add your own fav by unknown authors

Help me when my faith isnt faithful
Help me when my strngth isnt strong
Help me when my peace isnt peaceful
Help me when my right isnt wrong

Help me with you patience when my patience isnt here
Help me with your wisdon when the answers arent so clear
Help me with your presence when im feeling lost and lonely
Help me with you spirit cause you are my one and only


This is for the unknowns in the world where ever they might be
This unknown author of this poem just so happens to be me
I wouldnt come in person and read this poem on my part
They say bald heavy-set men dont really have a heart

A rough exterior hides the softness that is centered inside
of this young man typing now, these words i cannot hide
They flow from me freely but the thing folks cannot see
is the unknown poets of the world are people just like me

Thank you

I wait for nothing and nothing comes and sorrows all i find.
With a foothold on my happiness, now im really in a bind.
The foul stinch of death rolls in and the vultures start to fly.
I take my last breath of fresh air and slowly start to die.
I see a bright light coming in and all who came befor me
who tried to make me into a person they wanted me to be.
They yell out mean obsinities and slander to my face.
I scream for a release from this dreadful gastly place.
I wake up from this nightmare and slowly start to blush.
Reach behind me on the toilet and quickly turn the flush.
Go away bad obsinities and deaths terrible smell.
Go away terrible nothingness that had me in this spell.
I wipe and spray and I have to admit it really does sound silly.
But i'll never again eat a cicken sandwich with side of black hole chili.

Thank you

Friends Till the End

Screen Friends


Now it's my time of day.

I've had one of those days
you know what I mean
so I sit back and relax
and turn on my screen.

I'll talk to all my friends
who know just what to say
to make my stresses go
and my troubles fade away.

My friends you're always there for me
whenever I feel blue
and though we've never met before
I know our friendships true.

And although we haven't been friends for long
in this short time it seems
we shared so many things already
our hopes, our fears, our dreams.

We come from different walks of life
but we share a common bond
and it's time to say that of all of you
I've grown so very fond.

So thank you friends for being there
whenever I've needed you
I know you're always there for me
and you know I'm there for you.


~Author Unknown~

That's beautiful...Just like you...

thank you D heres another favorite of mine....


AS LONG AS I AM BREATHING...

I awoke so early at the dawn of the new day,
Hoping the nightmare would just go away,
But the tears started flowing, as they did the night before,
Why did you leave me? What was this for?
I thought I couldn't face another broken day,
I hated the reality that you were taken away,
It's just not fair that this has happened to us,
And it started to scare me that I had lost my trust,
So I looked to the heavens and I asked God "Why"?
Why in the world would a child have to die?
I didn't get an answer that day or the next,
And, I guess looking back; the question was too complex,
It took a while to realise that you weren't really gone,
That as long as I was breathing your spirit would live on,
So life took on a different meaning, I was living for us both,
Two souls inside one body, two spirits and one host.
Now, with every breath I take, I take for me and you,
And with every song I sing, I'm singing it for two,
And there's no doubt in my mind, with the prayers that I have prayed,
That the wings that you are wearing, grow larger every day.
The strength that you are giving me, on my journey here on earth,
Reflects through me, back at you, on your journey of rebirth,
Stand strong by God, you're in good hands, and I'll stand strong as well,
And together we'll journey through these lives, in each other's hearts, parallel.

Comfort Zone


I used to have a comfort zone where I knew I wouldn't fail.
The same four walls and busywork were really more like jail.
I longed so much to do the things I'd never done before,
But stayed inside my comfort zone and paced the same old floor.

I said it didn't matter that I wasn't doing much.
I said I didn't care for things like commission checks and such.
I claimed to be so busy with the things inside the zone,
But deep inside I longed for something special of my own.

I couldn't let my life go by just watching others win.
I held my breath; I stepped outside and let the change begin.
I took a step and with new strength I'd never felt before,
I kissed my comfort zone goodbye and closed and locked the door.

If you're in a comfort zone, afraid to venture out,
Remember that all winners were at one time filled with doubt.
A step or two and words of praise can make your dreams come true.
Reach for your future with a smile; success is there for you!

Someone Cares

Someone cares if you're happy today
If your day is cheerful and bright?
Someone cares if you're feeling ok
Is everything going just right?

Here I am in a warm hearted way
Sending blessings and remembering you.
Have a perfectly perfect, wonderful day
And remember, I care about you!

~Author Unkown~

I'm feel'n this one........It's scary...scared....

those are really good Shellie, I wish I had a little talent at writing poems.

don't really know if this has an unknown author... but the anthology I have it in doesn't credit anyone...

First, they came for the Jews.... and I did not speak up, for I was not a Jew.
Then thet came for the Communists, and I did not speak up, for I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the Trades-unionists, and I did not speak up, for I was not a Trades-unionist.
Then they came for me. And their was no one left to speak up for me.

Cool... I'm going to hunt the poet down

can someone tell me what it takes to feel secure?
Ive felt lost for so long can someone find me?
can you turn back the time from blackened to pure?
can insanity truly be made as if it never was?

Are we lost in this life that has so many questions
where every hall has another corner?
Is it a endlesss game where no one is the winner?
To the loser goes the greater prize.

My twisted mind, i hold in my hands.
It becomes jagged, i drop it to the floor.
It brakes into many pieces.
I cannot find them all.

I think I lost my marbles

In this maze of life we live,
As time counts down so quietly.
We try to sort life through our mental sieve,
But often end up reacting violently.

The grains of the hourglass speed up not down,
We meet new and old folks alike,
We pray each morning for a smile, not a frown,
But sometimes life decides to say "SYCHE!!!"

This is the soul reason why we cling so close to each other.
We await the day our soul's cry is heard from one somewhere.
In this life you will find enemies many and few folks like a brother,
But getting into the fray will show your strength if you dare.

Let not fear stay the hand and sword, advance upon your foe.
Let the light shine ever so bright and the path will begin to glow.

For my bros out there. Danny-boy, Spike, Gaston the Gascogne, Jacob the hobbit, Yosemite Sam, and Eli.

Hey, people are posting their own stuff in here...

Isn't this thread for poems by unknown authors? As in 'anonymous'??

my head is a blank

while i am trying to study
my head is blank
while i am sleeping
my head is a blank
while i am in the middle of class
i cant get thoughts through my head
cause it is blank
while i am getting in trouble
my head is blank
while i am getting suspended
my head is a blank

when i am skipping school
my head is a blank
when i get in to fight
my head is at a blank
when i go to jail
my head is a blank
when my grandmother dies
my head is a blank
when i am about to get realy hurt
my head tells me
to hurry and get away from were i am as fast
as possible
my head is blank for thing i dont care for

I like "Screen Friends"

not too bad at all.

some of them are a struggle to read though.

The Beauty of a Woman


The beauty of a woman, isn't in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman, must be seen from in her eyes
Because that's the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman, isn't in a facial mole,
but true beauty in a woman, is reflected by her soul.
It's the caring that she cares to give, the passion that she shows,
And the beauty of a woman, with passing years, only grows.

I wish you bright mornings and warm, sunny days,
Soft shade to cool you from sweltering rays,
Raindrops, a few, from some cloud floating by,
Rainbows thereafter to color your sky.

Rambling rivers and great shining seas,
Mountains and forests with towering trees,
Hillsides and valleys, all flower-festooned,
Nature that nurtures whomever's attuned.

A faithful companion who'll stay by your side,
Children to care for, to love and to guide,
Enough work to do with enough time for play
Then restful sleep at the close of the day.

Friends when you need them and when they need you,
Something to spend, just as much as will do
A heart full of laughter; perhaps a few tears,
A faith you can follow through all of your years.

Then, fearlessly facing your last setting sun,
As you contemplate all the deeds you have done,
Recalling a life that's been more than worthwhile,
Perhaps you will pause and give thanks with a smile.
