You Are Worth Knowing

You Are Worth Knowing

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Why do looks matter

For some it is the only thing

No one ever has a personality

No traits to be admired

And brains with no thoughts

They live in a warped reality

If you don't have a perfect body

Perfect hair, skin, or eyes

You are not worth getting to know

That is the saddest part of all

You are a beautiful person no one wants to know

But everyone should

You Will Not Be Beaten

You Will Not Be Beaten

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Too many times

Something happens

You just have to say something

Most words do not seem right

Swearing seems to be correct

The word cannot be too wimpy

Nor can it be too strong

So, you practice every word

Trying to find just the right swear word

Eventually you just give up

And ‘gosh darn it’ comes out

Then you just walk away

Knowing that swearing did not beat you

A Moment To Love You

A Moment To Love You

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Time has been passing for so long

It is so hard not having you

I will wait forever without hope

Just to have a moment to love you

You Needed A Chance

You Needed A Chance

By Lord R.e. Taylor

You will never know your mommy

She never wanted to see your face

She never was going to call your name

She was never going to love you

To her you were just a mistake

Something to be thrown in the trash

You may have been someone special

Someone who could save the world

Or maybe your own baby would be loved

You will never get that chance

To her you never really existed

It is too bad she never got to know you

Maybe she could have loved you

All you needed was a chance

Nature’s Art

Nature’s Art

By Lord R.e. Taylor

It is a piece of art

Not made by an artist

Designed by nature

It is pure perfection

Petals of the brightest red

And the scent of Heaven

It is admired and loved by many

But sadly, it never lasts long

Turning into dust as it ages

It simply blows away

Never to be seen again

The Children Will Play

The Children Will Play

By Lord R.e. Taylor

People are learning

Children are not fragile

Finally, they should be allowed to play

To roughhouse with friends

Yeah, they’ll get some bruises

Maybe some cuts or injured bones

But everything will heal

The kids will always go back

And play some more

That One Instant

That One Instant

By Lord R.e. Taylor

One instant in time

It may not happen right away

Odds are it will take a while

Love may not be immediate

The chemistry may not be there

But as time passes by

It will find its way in

That instant will eventually happen

Your eyes will meet

Or it may come from a touch

It could be from something you say

Suddenly it will happen and you are in love

That one instant will be well worth the wait

If you can find your love with the right one
