Poetry to Live By

By Roxy Lee

This book took me years to get through. It was more fun than I expected and more work than I thought was possible. Oh my gosh, if you guys enjoy it, every single bit of it, it’s worth its weight in gold. When I would sit on the beach and write, for me to get more inspired, I really needed to just look around and take in what I could. The thoughts would just start racing, and I didn’t know how nor did I want to make it stop! I wanted to keep seeing and looking of the wonders of the world. Oh, I’m just having too much fun! The beauty that surrounded me sometimes gave me a whole new poem.Wow! I love people so much that all I’d have to do is just watch them for awhile—more fun! Then I’d watch the clouds and doggies—more and even more fun! To create and love it puts us back to where we can create almost anything!

Roxy Lee

Born in Minnesota, Roxann was raised in Arizona and then moved to Hawaii. She fell in love with the ocean, the smell, the sound, and the beauty. Wow! She was excited to move to California from Hawaii and to continue her education. She started walking on the beach and words would go through her mind. She started bringing pens and paper to write on. She would sit down, and she just started writing. She wrote and wrote and wrote. Oh, was she ever inspired! They were all poems coming out. She couldn’t be happier. She wrote on the beach—what fun she was having! The sunsets were fantastic by the way. Roxann has written fifty poems ready to go, so it must be time for a book. The book is dedicated to my two daughters, Jamie and Jenna. Jamie painted the cover of the book, and Jenna has gotten really good at soccer. They both have a great sense of humor and work very hard. They are very talented. What’s not to be proud of? Roxann loves walking with her dog, Charlie. She enjoys him and her family. She enjoys cleaning, but it only works with music. She can boogey while she cleans. Hopefully I can make you laugh or, at least, smile. My purpose here is to create a source for you to smile, laugh, and be happy! Hope you enjoy the book! [e-mail]

A Magic Potion

What is it about the ocean

It has a continual motion

We get burned so we spread on the lotion

But the ocean sure has A Magic Potion

The smell is fresh and clean

It’s rejuvenating and can bring

A sound that often rings

It’s time to spread our wings

So as the story goes

Who’s the next one to prove he knows

That the ocean moves by flows

One reaps what he sows

My Dad

My Dad is a very special man

Who’s always willing to lend a hand

He’s given me so much over the years

At times it almost brings me to tears

He’ll never let his weaknesses show

Instead he tries to change and grow

If he ever sees you low

He’ll give his love until you glow

Generous thoughtful and giving

He’s taught me these are a part of living

The greatest gift that one can give

Is to help another truly live

Thanks Dad – I Love you

Colors

Somewhere over the rainbow

Does my true love await

Oh, I do hope it is my fate

He’ll come soon and be my mate

I can’t wait to unbury my treasure

Show him all the precious jewels I have

For there can’t be a measure

Of all my qualities and amount of pride

He’ll sweep me off my feet

He’ll be a jewel, a gem a precious stone

It will be soon that we will meet

He’ll be my king and sit on a throne

The Colors of the rainbow will mark

Us together with a new start

The time is approaching, it will be very soon

We’ll be together and fly off in a big balloon

Greatness

Is it how much money you have

Is it how many people you control

Is it how much property you own

Or is it a lack of not having any loans

In a world there is much significance

Placed on all the above

What is Greatness

I think I know

It is how many people you love

Truly From My Heart

I have so much to give

Where shall I start

Shall I give you only a part

Or shall I give you my whole heart

I’ve done it so many times before

And now I’m ready to soar

If you don’t get what I’m saying

It
