Best Span Poems
The Span Of Life
by Robert Frost
Span of a Hen's Life
An aged hen clucks backwards without getting choked
I still recall when she was a yolk
<3
Frosty the Hen
:)
A lifetime seen thru silence at your side,
From tiny lad to manchild in your shade,
One sole intent - to earn a nod of pride,
Tho' I was never worth the effort made.
In years past, I had ears fast to the rail,
My tympans aching for the waking word
That might let love or God above prevail,
But cold admonishments were all I heard.
'Hard work is how a father shows his love',
How many times I'd heard that empty line,
But as you left the earth for heav'n above,
I learned the selfless depth of your design ...
What my self-pitied eyes could never see ...
The mighty bridge that you had built for me.

The universe is infinite
Boundless and endless
But we men have limited life spans
As the extinction of some species
Like the dinausaur,the dodo
And the passenger pigeon
But we men have limited power and wealth
We are small and insignificant
We can't rule the world
With dictatorship or hegemony
Wealth and natural resources on earth
Are to be shared
And so the gifts from our Almighty God
Men's greed will not end up the infinite world But themselves
And maybe the extinction of
Some wild species and natural resources
A LEGACY SPAN
Daily my precious gift my one and only life
A life which someday may run old and dry
Everytime it's prick with knife and strife
A continuous battle flaming how or why
A day to be with family then bond
A whole day sharing time with friends
A day to roam, reminisce the land
A Church day to praise and transcend
Sometimes, I will meet and kiss rainfall
However, I shall stand ~ try understand
Over heartaches and a jar painful
I wear my gear and take full command
Each Day, I will first stir the urge
To anyone needing some time
I will share opting not to splurge
To love and care my finest rhyme
A passing day will forever gone
My life sparks with Master plan
All things that's done and undone
My dusts dispels a legacy span

In the span of a moment
A word of caution
Destiny alters
Those fragile components
In a moment a seed
Comes forth to fruition
Or it dies with no one to grieve
No pause nor slight intermission
In the span of a moment
Fate awakens
Mysteries that seemed unimportant
Ones that had rested perfectly dormant
In the grand scheme of life
Those moments seem trivial
A roll of the dice
But they are really indivisible
For the human condition
Is fragile at best
On guard to vague contradiction
In the constant it heeds it's rest
In a moment you can catch
The gleam of an eye
A flash of anger subdued
Or a clarity replaced by confused
The tiniest speck of time
To a life interrupted
Forever can find
A heart too corrupted
To trust in another
Or even ones self
Much more when those moments
Cluster and swell
In an instant your eyes
Can behold perfection
In the passing of time
Reveals a cruel deception
Moment by moment
We fall or we stand
Trying to control every component
Its like holding sand castles with only your hands
Yesterday everything seemed perfectly right
Today my love, he went away
Like ocean waves when tides crest high
The mornings new landscape gives way
I cry with every forsaken moment
The moments by my side he's not here
I've already endured the many moments
All those that turned into years
At times I want to go back
To what was before I met him
The level of empty contained in the past
Was fuller than his presence rescinded
There is no exaggeration
That without him I cannot breathe
In this lies the danger
When he became the fabric of me
My true love I gave only
to one other this way
He held it long after he passed away
In truth it paled if portrayed
In moments such as these
I want to scream
No matter to whom be displeased
Cross valley and mountain it's rivers and streams
How long my darling
how many more moments
For something so right
To feel so wrong so alone
For what is lonelier
Than a moment alone
A timepiece which knows no hour
In the span of a moment unknown

Behold, Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him. Psalm 127:3
Children are faithfully a blessing from Lord God
Lord God has blessed us with countless amounts of items so where should I start
I suppose the heart is the most accurate area to start; because the minute you sacrifice birth to a newborn it’s a fresh start for your heart
When the newborn grows to be one or two that’s the moment you draw your chart
Invest in a Gerber Life plan
Provide a stunning future plan
Regardless if you sacrificed birth to a girl or The Wayans littleman
Tahj Mowry daughter or guy my child’s smart
Once you bring home satisfactory grades I’ll reward you with something in my cart
I’ll purchase you several games plus Mario cart
On the other hand once you ignore your home matters; mother will pop you the opposite of pop tarts
Construct your personal business similar to Vince Mchahon
On no matter what contribute wholly that’s all I demand
Am I speaking in French, Greiche, or Spanish Nike check for understanding
Whatever you do in the light similarly do in the dark
Under no circumstances conceal anything; Lord God Lord Jesus Christ notices everything particularly in the dark
You will pay for your sins Lean on Lord God not Joe Clark
You watch the Simpsons please don’t live to be the next Bart
Grant your existence to Lord God and your achievements will expand
Pay attention to who you call your friend there’s no love in a band
I bear in mind like it was yesterday when you were playing in the sand
Daydreamed the other day I was walking you through the park
Alongside your pup name Mark composing loud barks
Seeing is believing to children if you didn’t believe me mortals didn’t believe Noah about the ark
It’s a benediction to provide you with a dinner fork
Lord God is with you ubiquitously so lunge out and grasp his Mighty hand
It’s a prosperous life with a career collecting cans
Jostle relentlessly multiple punches Joe Frazier landed to possess income to acquire multiple lands
Hygiene is vital love water like a shark
Your wardrobe like noodles select diverse flavors other than pork
If you’re under the weather where ever you are I’ll explore the nearest port
Son/Daughter I’ll Love you eternally even when I’m a corpse.
Short Span Puppy Mind
Puppy sees a fly
Hears distant bark, forgets fly
Lies asleep under sun.
Quick over there!
Before it’s gone!
A rhyme to share,
fair to look on.
But, oh! Shiny!
Glittering flash!
Some bright debris!
Pretty for trash.

“Span of time”
The moment when our first eyes meet I think Ill hold my breath
For hours gazing upon your face I long for nothing less
Days of wishing longing for the “one” who must love me
Weeks of wonder disbelief that you can really be
Years of loving you so deep, released for my dark prison
Eternity of passion rare that mends my hearts incision.

Lawrence Schrank
great rivers are mighty
but we should remember
that snowflakes and raindrops
are how they began
the myrical myriad
falling eternally
full of great gravity
downward they ran
mingled by summertime
gathering gleefully
singing and dancing
each one of a clan
meeting excitedly
strong and in unity
yielding identity
spic, spec and span
Like the chick breaks out of it's shell
Like a butterfly emerges out of it's cocoon
Like the painter with a clean canvass
Like a new born with prospects
So is the new year handed you
An untrodden Decade
Take the chance,
Make the most of it
Be intentional about ev’ry moment
Be the master of your game
Reorder the word.. IMPOSSIBLE
Tag it I’M-POSSIBLE
Live one day at a time
2020 just got in your clutches....
Cheers to an Evergreen Year/Decade...

both sides of all eggs
edges of their not alike
time of birth differs
The earth is like egg
division of day and night
time span not the same
How seldom do things work
out the way you say
I haven’t any figures yet
but i’m sure it’s rare
and happens less often still
despite that incessant mind.
We cheer for things turned right
and in our favor, fully
and totally, for all is well
with winning tickets won.
The winning was always to win
it was only a matter of time
before the losing came about
with strokes of great precision
It was this all along, in hand
with great hope to doubt fate
or destiny or some like word—
‘chance’ we have often said
(chance that we should master it
and say it worth the wager
chance that you were holding
some refuge from the loss
chance that i was out
no more than what I cast)
for chance and hope alike
to span the great divide.
How long will it be before we die
Many years before we say bye-bye
Be sure you see it all
Enjoy it have a ball
Don't let the good times pass you by
