Mark Bratlie Poems

Birthdays are amazing creatures
Full of contradicting features
They can sometimes be life teachers
Yes, birthdays are amazing creatures
...

Things change with the times-
we know that to be true
Still, there is plenty of room
for both the old and the new
...

I love you in the morning
when dew lies on the grass
As gentle light comes sneaking
and night's shadows slowly pass
...

High up on a mountain top
Waiting for the shoe to drop
Lookin' for the wisdom guy
To get the scoop before I die
...

Today a leaf came down to greet me
Falling gently on a breeze
With intentions to remind me
Of the things I must release
...

Where are you tonight
Without you I am lost
All through the night
I turned and I tossed
...

Nature's stage is green on blue
with drifting mounds of white
As caps of foam keep company
with playful liquid light
...

To a northern lake...for solitude
being with myself
evading distractions
needing no busyness
...

Quick, quick, hurry, hurry
time is passing with a flurry
Things to do, no time to linger
life is caught up in a wringer
...

My ship left port without me
and my run has all run out
If my pep were not all petered
I would surely scream and shout
...

Winter is a time of warmth when I am close to you
A time of sharing stories and of praising what is true
The cold wind can be daunting when one is all alone
But Winter is a time of warmth when I am close to you
...

Those who claim to know The Truth are dangerous indeed
Questioning and humbleness are things they do not need
Open minds are useless and discussions take too long
Others have opinions which most certainly are wrong
...

The darkness
is abating
The hinge
is being greased
...

Who gives them power
to rob the child
of his smile?
...

Holidays come once a year
and are a precious gift
They mark the passing of our days
and give our hearts a lift
...

Guns in the bedroom and guns in the shower,
with each and every household getting safer by the hour.
Guns in the workplace here and everywhere.
Guns in the churches, so bad guys best beware.
...

A violent society
is certainly what we are
And when it comes to hi-tech killings
we are number one by far
...

A dream may deliver an insight
that helps us to learn and to grow
Or it can be a reminder
of something we already know
...

Love you
and love to talk freely
(while shadows lurk inside)
...

Striving for true humility
can be a dicey affair
For should you achieve success
it may be difficult to bear
...

The Best Poem Of Mark Bratlie

Birthday Happy

Birthdays are amazing creatures
Full of contradicting features
They can sometimes be life teachers
Yes, birthdays are amazing creatures

I'm just birthday happy, Honey
Even though we don't have a lot of money
Most of our days seem to come up sunny
And I'm just birthday happy, Honey

Feelin' good as I get older
Except for that pain in my left shoulder
And my back when it gets colder
Yes, feelin' good as I get older

I'm just birthday happy, Honey
Even though we don't have a lot of money
Most of our days seem to come up sunny
And I'm just birthday happy, Honey

You know my mind is sharp as ever
I always come up with something clever
But lots of little things I can't remember
Yes, you know my mind is sharp as ever

I'm just birthday happy, Honey
Even though we don't have a lot of money
Most of our days seem to come up sunny
And I'm just birthday happy, Honey

Older minds can be inspired
Thinking of ways to become retired
A full-time job is not required
Yes, older minds can be inspired

I'm just birthday happy, Honey
Even though we don't have a lot of money
Most of our days seem to come up sunny
Yes, I'm just birthday happy, Honey
