Hope and Sacrifice

The arms of Hope were sad and heavy as she began to cry,
But nothing could change the growing despair inside her eyes,
Not an inch of hope existed that could save the human child,
And so she had started to give up on her own essence deep down inside.
Suddenly, a spark of light entered into the hospital waiting room,
As Sacrifice rapidly started to arrive and not a moment too soon,
With a familiar friendly face, open arms and a hopeful smile,
He walked over to Hope and restored the chance of another while.

You have done all you can now Hope, Sacrifice said,
But I have come to assist you, so do not be afraid,
This child cannot be saved with only hope alone,
And a sacrifice must be given before he can return home.
Inside that hopeless waiting room, a miracle was suddenly sparked,
As Sacrifice began his work and found a replacement heart,
A donor was quickly found to save the male child's human life,
And so Hope could finally smile again as Sacrifice solved her strife.

Another chance would now be given for a young man to live,
Because Hope and Sacrifice had given him all that they could give,
In a moment filled with heartbreak and despair that day, Hope had swiftly learned,
That Sacrifice really was her true companion and truly her best friend.

Hope turned to Sacrifice and smiled as they began to depart,
And thanked him for his provision, the sacrifice of a human heart,
Without you I couldn't have saved him, Hope rapidly confessed,
Without the sacrifice that you found that young man would now be dead.

Hope, take my hand and walk with me, Sacrifice implored,
You will never be alone and your efforts won't be ignored,
Alone you cannot achieve as much and I am here for you,
Together we can move mountains and change what is true.

Hope And Sacrifice Poetry Narration by Dick McMahon

The Wardrobe of My Mind

On Monday I dressed in confidence with her glamour and flair,
The day was bright and wonderful as she lifted me high up in the air,
Every step throughout that day truly was a pleasure to be had,
Because she gave me the courage to be happy and not sad.

On Tuesday I wore anger with his deadly, vicious stare,
Someone had upset me and the day was a nightmare,
Every minute was very ugly because an angry cloud hung over my head,
But finally, relief came at night when I went to bed.

On Wednesday I gave forgiveness the chance to adorn my frame,
As love took my hand and guided me onto that peaceful train,
Sometimes the ride was difficult but it was worth the pain,
Because by the end of the evening, I could finally smile again.

On Thursday I picked a suit of hope and my life was not the same,
Because pleasant expectations joyfully filled and occupied my brain,
Everything around me was truly a pleasure to be heard and seen,
As I chose to fill my mind, heart and life with hopes from a dream.

On Friday I clothed myself in happiness as I prepared for the weekend,
The week had been so very long and the weekend is my best friend,
Another week will definitely start again, oh so very soon,
But this time I will prepare the wardrobe of my mind and give my thoughts a fine tune.

Wardrobe of My Mind Poetry Reading by Jill Thrussell

Treasure Chest of Memories

Every day that the morning greets me another opportunity arrives,
To create some joyful memories that might comfort me inside,
Some memories that I make might be very pleasant and some I may choose not to store,
But I will pack those that I wish to keep inside my treasure chest whilst others I will ignore.

The treasure chest of memories that lives inside my heart and mind,
Has several different storage bays filled with memories of several different kinds,
Some memories are formed from experiences with others of moments that we shared,
As they pay homage to the people that played a part in my life and those who truly cared.

Memories purely formed from jewels of joy, reside in a very special place,
Because when I recall those past moments inside my mind, each one brings a joyful smile to my face,
Those memories are highly treasured because they cannot be repeated or replaced,
But new jewels of joy can be added to that pile as each day is lived out and embraced.

Teardrops of sadness form some memories inside that chest that can make me feel so forlorn and sad,
But I really have to keep each one because they remind me to appreciate life and to be glad,
When I explore some of those sad memories, they can bring tears to my eyes,
Yet I cannot live without those precious, sad moments, a truth I fully recognize.

Some memories are kept to guide me and to steer me through the landscape of my life,
Because they teach me valuable lessons and a source of wisdom they provide,
Some memories are my companion and offer me a form of friendship when I am on my own,
Because when I reminisce upon pleasant times that I spent with those I love, I am never truly alone.

Other memories form a source of hope of to me and ignite my dreams to be realized,
And at times, some can even shield me from rainy days and bring sunshine to the skies,
Every spark of joyful hope from the past can nurture and fertilize my life, thoughts and plans,
And so those memories are invaluable to me because each one can bring and provide wisdom to my hands.

But inside one of the storage bays live some memories of a truly different sort and kind,
The memories formed from the prickly thorns of pain which can never be forgotten or left behind,
Each one provides a painful reminder of things that I should not participate in, say or do,
As they warn of all kinds of danger that can visit me and of people that are untrue.

Each memory that lives inside my treasure chest has a different reason to be preserved,
So from the jewels of joy and teardrops of sadness to the thorns of pain, I store each one undeterred,
Some memories can provide guidance, wisdom and experience, so that I am not easily led astray,
And although some may be ugly and are truly hard, each one teaches me lessons about life every day.

Goodbye is Not Forever

Goodbye is not forever, somebody once said to me,
But now it seems as if it is because your face I no longer see,
The tears I cry cannot express what you meant to us all,
Because one day you just departed without a goodbye or a call,
Although my sadness cannot bring you back or give you another day,
I hope that you have found a peaceful place to rest where you can finally stay.

Your soul departed way too soon and I really wish you could still be here,
Because your hand and smile were a comfort to me that I loved to be near,
There are things I should have said to you and things we should have done,
But the train of regrets I sit on now, really cannot be undone,
Though my life must continue without you by my side,
A part of me left with you, from that fact I cannot hide.

Every part of me will always remember you the way that you were,
Because love does not just vanish from our hearts into thin air,
My heart and mind still want to keep your memory alive,
Because through the rocky terrain of life, you always stood by my side,
Although there is no return ticket to your human abode,
I truly hope that you have found peace now inside your beautiful soul.

Memories of our yesterdays formed from tears of sadness are now really all that remain,
As I try to carry on with life without you and silently shoulder the pain,
Although all our tomorrows must be forgotten now because you are here no more,
One day I hope to see you again when I step through heaven's door,
Every day I think about you even though we are now physically apart,
Because you still live within me, inside my mind and heart.

Dedication to My Grandfather Ernest and Mary (though I wasn't your real blood, you became mine.) You are gone but not forgotten and you were really loved.
