Child's Dream Through the eyes of a child I see a beautiful dream A dream where our children Are free to play with one another A dream where it is safe To walk the streets at night A dream in which there are no guns Pointing at us behind every corner A dream where wars Are a thing of the past A dream where our future Is always clear and bright Then I wake up an realize It was all just a dream A little child's dream Can we make it our dream? by Mohammed Almihdar light hearted poetry |

Our
Foolish Masquerade
I met your polished image
at the corner store today;
we chatted for a moment
till you hurried on your way.
You spoke with gracious warmth
though pain was darting in your eyes,
I sensed the weight of sorrow
underneath your smooth disguise.
I wish we could have shared a hug
instead of flippant words;
but you adroitly camouflaged
the wounds you have endured.
Why must we wear these masks,
pretend our posturing is real?
What makes us so ashamed
to have our inner self revealed?
Perhaps we hear the echoes
of a parent's stern refrain,
or maybe we've set lofty goals
we fear we can't attain.
We all have imperfections -
they're what make us each unique;
why strive to mold facades
that hide the very truth we seek?
To celebrate ourselves
is something few of us are taught;
but life is far too short to waste
on being who we're not!

What I've Learned
I've learned a lot these past
few years
Through my fake smiles and
unseen tears
That friends sometimes aren't
forever
that true love doesn't always
last
And happy memories stay with
you
but those happy moments go by
fast
Words can cut deeper than any
sword
Leaving you with something
That no man could replace or
ever afford
Sometimes things happen,
Sometimes your heart will
break
Though to feel real happiness
this is what's at stake
In order to have the comfort
of heaven
and your story to live to tell
You must also experience the
hate-filled
life of hell
Remember . . . There
will always be someone there
Someone that honestly does
care
A person can leave your life
Leave you alone with your
worries and strife
But like pain, the love you
once felt cannot from your body depart
but only may enter your heart
Don't worry someday it will
all get better
Your mornings will grow joyful
with someone to love
And you'll have the kind of
life you thought you could only dream of
I've been there before with my
head in my hands
Believing there's no way
anyone could ever understand
But they do . . . trying
everything they can to help you
Still you sit there unknowing
and blind
To what soon you'll be glad to
find.
