My Poetry
Welcome !!!

This page is full of poems that were written and published by me. I love writing poems in my free time because writing down feelings on paper helps me to recognize that every day is special, and you only live one day at a time. It lifts my spirits up and makes me feel better. If you would like to challenge yourself and give it a try, just go to http://www.poetry.com. This is where you will find my poems, almost all of them are published now, just click on the lick above and type in my name-Helen Thurston, and you'll see all of the poems listed below.
I have also included a small table with links to some of the poetry web sites that I love visiting every day. All of the poetry sites listed have earned top awards for their performance in creating poetry web pages. Give them all a try, I'm sure you'll enjoy reading. I also hope you enjoy reading my poems.
I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks Very Much!!!

~~MY
POEMS~~
Friends on the internet
With Faces you might not ever see.
They talk as though their on the phone
But are still a mystery.
They help those who are feeling down
They joke they laugh they care.
They send their love from within their hearts
Even when you are not there.
Friends on the internet
Whether there's many or a few.
Have a special way that no-one knows
How they get inside of you.
The more you get to know them
The more you get to care.
The more you begin to love them
Even when they are not there.
Friends on the internet
In my heart I've met a lot.
And I love them more and more each day
As our friendship vows to never part.

When you're feeling
really sad
And you think that no one cares
Just listen to your heart and know-
That I'm already there.
When a friend has let you down
And your eyes fill up with tears
Just listen to your heart and know-
That I'm already there.
When your in need of someone beside you
And your hopes are high in the air
Just listen to your heart and know-
That I'm already there.

When my time is almost
here
Know that I'm not afraid
Even though I may shed tears
I'll know my dues are paid
And when I enter golden gates
Your
face is what I'll see
And lights of living angels
Will let me know I'm free
And as I go through heaven's door
Forever I'll be true
For in your loving arms I'll stay
Cause I get to come home to you

Hearts Broken
Hearts broken, are divided in two
Separated by love from a friend you once knew.
As the heart tries to mend and heal for awhile
Along comes a friend tempting it with a smile
He opens your thoughts by loves light in the sky,
And you wonder if you should give it a try.
He closes the dreams from your un-willing past
And you wonder how longer these feelings will last.
All of a sudden the heart breaks again,
And you find yourself suddenly needing a friend.
He romantically appears through hearts opened doors,
And vows he'll be there for you ever more.
He welds the heart tightly with love and sincere
And in your own eyes you feel loving tears
Crying with happiness for you have found,
Your broken heart mends when the friend is around.

Angels above us
Wings opened wide
To enwrap us with glory
In gods humble abide
They guide us through life
And watch over us too
The pray in our sorrow
They're loyal and true
We feel their own presence
And adore their halos bright
True love everlasting
Shining all through the night
They drift down to meet us
When our time has come
To carry us home
Through the light of gods sun
Angels above us
Wings opened wide
Forever they'll be
Right by our side..

Friends of the heart
Set our world aflame
some we know very well
Others have no name
Friends of the heart
Are always there for you
To make you laugh and smile
A heart felt friend so true
Friends of the heart
You'll always hold real tight
Deep down inside of you
For they shine the brightest light
Friends of the heart
Forever they will be
Just one heart beat away
From inside of you and me...
