If

by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream- -and not make dreams your master;

Grandpa S.

by Frangipani Rhett

They brought home a little gift for me
Something they found in your drawer
A little wallet with your license and a photo of me
From way back in 2015

Dad and mom stayed in the room you slept in
But I know you never really felt at home
I wished you lived right by us too
But I know it would have been hard for us both

Dream dream dream

by Aldo Kraas

Dream dream dream
Every night when you are
Sleeping
With your loved ones
That is dead
AIso don't forget that
They are resting in peace
In heaven
Also they are not suffering anymore
The way they suffered

Pondering the MultiVerse

by Taryn G

in another universe
you and I never part.
the sun comes up and we still lay together,
washed with the glow of another day
very much in love.

sometimes knowing this universe exists
and that I will never see it
hurts me in a way I never knew I could be hurt.

The Disappointment

by Jane Taylor

In tears to her mother poor Harriet came,
Let us listen to hear what she says:
"O see, dear mamma, it is pouring with rain,
We cannot go out in the chaise.

"All the week I have long'd for this holiday so,
And fancied the minutes were hours;
And now that I'm dress'd and all ready to go,
Do look at those terrible showers! "

A Fool Has No Access To Success

by mv venkataraman

A fool gets cheated,

He gets easily defeated,

He has never repeated,

But, has only retreated,

He has never completed,

Bucket Pain

by Ally Bell

If pain were a bucket,
You'd be the largest one,
Pouring your trauma out like a faucet
Unto those who show you love
You're like a raging storm,
Leaving destruction in its wake
With thunderous words filled with hate
Yet still, I saw in you the potential to create
When you saw yourself as someone who should have never been born

On the Other Side

by Lee-Ann Azzopardi

I hear yr scream echoing thru my dreams
As I listen to them fade
The memories are becoming shadows of what once was
If I could, I would stop time slipping
And reverse it to see you again
But the reality that I can't, breaks my heart each day
I sit alone on the couch
Expecting to see you on the other side
When I don't see you. I remember that day
And I began to weep
