Palindrome

Mom, Dad, wow

Do you know how

To spot a palindrome?

Bob loves to play

And shout out “yay”

Each time Sis sees one

A race car is fast

And nurses run

Palindromes are so much fun!

Backward and forward

They’re just the same

How many palindromes

Can you name?

(Can you find the 9 palindromes in this

poem? Hint: My favorite is "yay.")

I have a new favorite palindrome.

Competition

I will always do my best
Will not worry ‘bout the rest
Won’t consider life a race
I already know my "place"

If you disapprove of this

Adding demands to my list

I will always do my best

Will not worry ‘bout the rest

Your approval is no prize
I will cross the great divide
Doing my best every time
We don't need a finnish line

For in life there is no end
We begin again, again
I will always do my best
Will not worry ‘bout the rest

Keep the Faith

It isn't denial

To change the dial

When troubles

Are in view

By moving forward

Knowing that faith

Holds promise

And solutions, too.

Feel

Be yourself

Be sincere

Sharing laughter

Spreading cheer

Smile awhile

Listen, too

Then feel how life

Responds to you

Your Heart Knows

A hug from the heavens

And treasures untold

Are there for the asking

When your arms unfold

Leaving your heart open

So it can receive

Things kissed by the angels
And made up of dreams

Turn from your sorrows
Reach for your bliss
Your heart knows exactly
How to do this

Keep the Change

Face value sometimes has none
When the commodity is pain
By shifting your attention
You have so much to gain

Life doesn’t have a magic shield
To protect from influence of others
You can absorb their negative field
Or you can move on to your druthers

Little by little, one by one
Degrees of focus change
You may stand in the line of fire
But, you’ve moved on to better things

The Sharing Song

I love the song inside my head
It sometimes makes me dance
I will share this song with you
But, only if you ask

For, songs can be a nuisance
At uninvited times
I may not wish to dance to yours
Or expect that you’ll dance to mine

© Sharon Elaine Porter

The Gift

The well placed errand

The thoughtful deed

The perfect timing

Preventing a need

Not only to listen

But to hear

The unspoken language

Of love though the years

I do not desire

To put things away

To serve as the tokens

Of some special day

To be fully present

As our spirits lift

To savor each moment

This is the gift
