SON

It was the millennial,
the middle of June.
Not the bi-centennial,
or the harvest moon.
The doctor said here’s your boy.
I looked down at a miniature me.
My world again was filled with joy.
I started to wonder who he’d be.
Let his life be filled with Love.
Give me wisdom to share.
With your help from above,
He will know we care
GOD knew your worth
blessed us with your birth.
Stone Hearted

I don’t really feel,
little evokes an emotion,
can anything be real?
Nothing to stir even one emotion.
Tears don’t fall,
Laughing can not last.
What’s the use of it all?
Could It be from my past?
Is there something wrong with me?
I hope and pray,
for someone to help me see.
GOD please take away the gray.
All my emotions seem hidden,
To show them seems forbidden.
Purpose

All writers have a story to tell
Emotions and thoughts straight from the heart
from our minds to the ink well
words on paper is where we start
Life has given us a sea of emotion
Stories of good; stories of bad
rise and fall like the ocean
some are happy some sad
We write to entertain or to inform
too much going on inside the head
freestyle or to a form
We hope it will somehow be read
I tried to make these rhyme
I hope reading it was worth the time
Cage The Rage

Cage the Rage.
That is their solution.
Can such rage fit in a cage?
I disagree with the conclusion.
Every day I see red,
I want peace.
The anger is continually fed,
I pray for safe release.
I have searched my past,
and I see lots of anger.
How long can one emotion last?
To me it’s no stranger.
If you read this; hear my plea.
Pray to GOD to deliver me.
One Drop

A little ripple,
from a single drop.
The rings seem supple,
the stir of just one plop.
The ring goes out,
disturbing the peace.
There is no doubt,
chaos unleashed.
The ripples will fade,
away from its source.
Chaos was made,
uneven in its course.
The ripples will soon rest
I hope I survive this test.
Autumn Leaf

I’ve blossomed and bloomed
enjoying the pleasures of this world.
Becoming one with its beauty and essence
for all eyes to see.
I carried the breeze of spring,
and shaded to cool during summer’s heat.
I left you in awe witnessing the
changes I go through.
Even when I’m weathered and beaten
you’re amazed I still have some soul left.
Just when you thought I’ve met my demise,
and all have come to an end…
…I blossom and bloom to do it all over again.
Happiness, Love, Joy
By: James Stevahn

Happiness is light.
Happiness carries no strife only gain.
Happiness gives my heart it’s might.
Happiness brings long life and little pain.
Joy should be shared.
Joy should never be hidden.
Joy let’s others know you cared
Joy should be freely given.
Love is best.
Love is from the heart.
Love can be a test.
Love is where to start.
In using these three,
Your soul will be free.
