Best Stop And Smell The Roses Poems


Premium Member Your Strongest Day
Your strongest day is standing
just outside your door. Let it in.

Each day the sun comes home to you 
it whispers with the wind
calling out your name.

This is no video game.

Life’s a bouquet banquet 
made from your reflections.

You do not need directions.

Pick your moments carefully.
Stop and...

A Memorable Person
On a train going south on business
For what seemed an eternity,
I chanced upon a memorable man
Who changed the path of my destiny

He was itinerant to look at
With tatty coat and shabby shoes,
An unshaven face, his hair unkempt
And string, as a belt on his ‘trews’

He boarded...

Premium Member Life's Highway

Speeding along life's highway
With the scenery flashing by
Must stop and smell the roses
There's more than meets the eye

We miss the tiny intricacies 
Subtleties that mean so much
Life's delightful wee treasures
The warmth of a babies touch

A gentle breeze at daybreak
Welcoming a brand new day
Puffy white billowy...

Smell the roses

When you’re in an awful hurry and haven’t time to spare
And everything’s a worry you’re rushing here and there
While all the jobs are piling up, there’s dishes in the sink
You haven’t time to wash a cup, you haven’t time to think
Stop... and smell...

Premium Member ''Broken Wings''
Bird in a guilded cage, a broken heart, a solitary soul
Road less travelled, a soul full of longing, my heart bleeds
On a wing and a prayer, my heart is a lonely hunter, a weary soul
    
    Kiss the rose,...

Live Life To the Fullest Before Its the Final End
The sands of time are falling away
Make sure to make the most out of each and every day
Release all of your hate and conqueror your fear
Don’t have regrets and have time for cheer
Treat everyone around you as you want to be treated
Accomplish everything you can...

Life Through a Child's Eyes
I hear the children laugh and wish I was that care free
If only there was some way I could see what they see
The children take the time to stop and smell the roses
There is always a solution to the problems life poses
A world of wonder,the...

Symbol of the Rose
Stop and smell the roses
God gives us to enjoy
The symbol of his love to us
His mercy, peace and joy

A white one, oh, so beautiful
A saviour white as snow
A spotless, shameless, beautiful Lamb
Jesus loves me, this I know

And there's a pretty yellow one
A Christians duty, the...

Promise of a Rose
A moment of promise comes 
to those who take time
to stop and smell the roses

Heard is this old phrase
once or twice, but still
a promising thought

Petals fragrant and soft
of pure hues delights those
who pursue its delicate form

The rose is full of romance
for many lovers for its...

God's Gift To Humanity
God gave us a gift 
this blue marble we call Earth, 
He had a divine plan 
during the Universe's birth. 

He scattered the stars 
throughout the galaxy, 
His paintbrush was never put down 
He was thinking of you and me. 

The planets were created 
so...

Imagine
Imagine the sound of bright buzzing bees,
And ripe juicy apples planted on trees.
Imagine the sight of the birds that fly,
Or the airplanes that soar through the sky.
Imagine the fish that swim through the ocean,
And the brown, fuzzy squirrels that cause a commotion. 
Imagine the green...

Stop
Stop
Sign
Red light Green light
Stop running by the pool
Stop annoying your siblings
Stop picking your nose
Stop Drop and Roll
Stop talking in class
Stop making out behind the gym
Stop mashing your zits
Stop going so fast
Stop staying out so late
Stop!
there's a cop
Stop underage drinking
Stop having sex
Stop wasting time
Stop lying in...

Roses
I sit calmly in the state of shock, disgusted by my generation.

Precious life that so many struggle to have, kicked aside like a soccer ball.

Abusing the temple of our body.

We the youth, blinded by stardom and greatness, not stopping to realize what is more important.

The...
