(but I think we're all guilty of a few of those! 
) , some rhyme, some don't, some are short (VERY!short), some are long..... hopefully at least one will catch your eye

"Life is filled with moments of
Wonder, Pleasure and Joy.
If we don't seize the moment,
If we don't sometimes stop
thinking of the future and
relish the moment, then
we'll have no memories of
joy to get us through the
bad times - and no hope".

"so it takes time
try to understand that i'm
trying to make a move just to stay in the game
i'm trying to stay awake and remember my name
but everybody's changing
and I don't feel the same"

Subject: A Life Lesson: Shake it off and take a step up
One day, a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried
piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up
anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a
shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.
At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly.
Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was
astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the
donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step
up. As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal,
he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed
as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt.
The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up.
Each of our troubles is a steppingstone.
We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping...
never giving up!
Shake it off and take a step up
I have made some great friends here on AP
(you all know who you are) and have had the very great honour of having a poem written for me 
. So, at the author's suggestion, I am pasting it up here for all to see. It's called *SHE BECKONS* - because my names beck!! (get it??!)
She Beckons
by Sadelmann
She calls to me
and asks me
to give her
the gift I
love to give:
the gift of love.
This woman I have
come to need as
much as for what
she tells as
things she doesn't.
When she beckons, then
I must surely go...
AND FINALLY...
another poem about me!! From (I hope) a new friend Jonathan. it always touches me when someone takes the time to write something like this so I shall do it the justice of posting it right here for all to see 
BECKon not for breaker to unbreak,
E xpect no trite solutions, double take,
C oherency create within the soul,
K ismet Kiss met transforming parts to whole.
B eseech not who has wronged to mend mistake
E nd of beginnings starts begins with wake,
C hallenge Fate without delay, fill hole,
K arma calls, grants YOU not HIM parole !
Wow!! am soooooo touched that one of my bestest pals on here (well one that I have known the longest and admire greatley) I AM THE RAVEN (check out Jake's work he is v.talented) has done an acrostic for me and I have to post it here - would be wrong not to although I do feel like I shouldn't
B ecause of muse laiden with hardship
E nough to bend those of the strongest will,
C unning words flow from such fullness of heart
K nowledge sweet and bitter fills her page.
How fab is that?!!
