Mike Kosman Poems

Dreams are made to follow
Hills are made to climb
Losing is hard to swallow
But we get stronger all the time
...

Walking in the cold October rain
Down a dark and lonely highway
Not knowing where I am
Wondering if you ever really
...

In the darkest hour of morning
At the coldest time of day
Down a never ending highway
I set out on my way
...

Hey little super hero
With your batmobile parked right beside your bed
And teddy on the pillow by your head
You think I can beat up superman
...

O mighty oak I've gazed at you
So strong and standing tall
Your massive branches in the wind
So high above us all
...

When it feels like every little thing you do
Keeps turning out all wrong
And the way you're bound really has the sound
Of a tune from a sad sad song
...

May the sunshine bless your roses
Be your pastures ever green
May your heart be ever joyful
And your spirit light and free
...

I'd like to tell you all about
This one truck driving man
Ain' t got time to tell it all
But I'll do the best I can
...

I'm wanting you to know
I won't forget the years
You guided me through life
The best way that you knew
...

Always been ahead of yourself
Self assured and bold
Took the traning wheels off your bike
When you were only four years old
...

I came home from the baseball field
Teardrops in my Eyes
I didn't make the team
And I though that I would die
...

So many times I try to tell you
Just how much I love you babe
And I keep wondering why the hell you
Don't believe a word I say
...

Shadows in the corners of my mind
Broken dreams I had to leave behind
Memories that still inside me stir
Of used to bes that never really were
...

14.

Roney you're a dreamer
A misplaced country boy
Hoping and believing
That your dreams just might come true
...

It's hard to believe
I've become this way
The years have made me pay
The good times come and gone
...

Waking up crying
Not knowing why
And I'm feeling that I'm going insane
This work that I'm doing
...

Autumn leaves are falling
North wind's blowing in
I know it's been a while
But I've been scared to come home again
...

You push to the limit
You're giving it your best
Working so hard everyday
You've been pulled through a wringer
...

Once a week on Wednesday
She'd hurry out the door
Her Hefty Bags a bouncing as she ran
In her baby doll pajamas
...

So you found out things were different
Than the way they seemed to be
You're eyes are slowly opening
But you're not sure you want to see
...

The Best Poem Of Mike Kosman

Dreamers

Dreams are made to follow
Hills are made to climb
Losing is hard to swallow
But we get stronger all the time
The dreams that dreamers follow
Often die along the way
But dreamers live to dream another day
