Theresa Ann Moore Poems

There is a tendency
That creates a dependency.
When life is filled with pain
Depression floods the brain.
...

Have you ever thought that famous people have it all
Their magnitude is built on their ability to enthrall
Think about how they stand out from the ordinary crowd…
Success and notoriety fascinate us; we love to be wowed
...

So, you think that you are a poet…
You write from your heart, because you know it.
You think your thoughts are important, so you show it.
...

Who answers prayers?
Who guides the way?
Who forgives a sinner?
Who promises a better day?
...

Can you just let me have peace of mind?
Is there a small compact place I can find?
My ears have heard all of what you say.
I have heard it more than ten times a day!
...

Existing within the same minutes of an hour
Peace has virtues that hatred is ready to devour.
Hovering within sight is a foreboding cloud…
With dissension, there is blast inside a crowd.
...

Sometimes my thoughts are wonderful sweet confections
That is when my heart is fill with the best of recollections
This is true only because my aging memory is selective
Living many years has taught lessons and been instructive
...

When it came to popularity
You were a front runner.
Numbers told of your prosperity
Among others, none was funner
...

How does a person determine his or her worth
You may ask what is your purpose on this earth
When you look for the answer... who do you ask
Who is appropriately delegated to take on the task
...

I have to admire the optimistic view you had
You refuse to dwell on the news that was bad
Life was for living fully and not sadly lamenting
Looking death in the eye you were not consenting
...
