You Deserve Better

I’m not what you need 
You deserve better
All I ever did was hurt you 
You told me you loved me
I didn’t reply
I was too scared to share how I felt 
I never stopped loving you 
We are not together but you are always on my mind
I wish I could go back and change what happened but I can’t 
It’s too late
I never spoke up
I hid how I felt 
I wish I would have told you how I felt 
Now it’s too late you found someone who wasn’t afraid
I still love you 
I hope the best for you even though we aren’t together
You mean the world to me and I hope that you knew it 
I just want to see you smile
Your smile takes my pain away 
I just want you to be happy
I just want you to have what you deserve 
The same love you once shared with me.

Don'T, Do

Don’t look for happiness in a bottle you won’t find it
Do the little things for her, they mean the world to her, she deserves it
Don’t take people for granted, they may not always be there and then it’s too late
Do the little things you don’t want to do but know you should, they’re not that bad 
Don’t wish pain upon anyone, you don’t mean it and then don’t deserve it no matter what
Do your best, that’s all you can ask of yourself, if you don’t you’re selling yourself short
Don’t look for happiness in possessions, it isn’t there 
Do unto others and you want others to do to you, think of other peoples feelings
Don’t say you love someone unless you mean it, lying only hurts them 
Don’t say one thing and then do another, people will never trust you  
Do the extra work, in the end it will have paid off 
Don’t say you stand for something if you don’t, you’re not being true to you or the cause
Do what you want with your life, not what others want you to do
Don’t expect life to be handed to you, earn what you want, you’ll appreciate it more
Do people favors, everyone needs help sometime, you’ll need someone eventually
Don’t ask for handout when you aren’t in need, there’s people who need it more than you
Do what your mother says, whether we like to think it she’s usually right
Don’t do something you think you might regret later, you will regret it later
Do what you think is right, not what everyone else does, stand by your beliefs
Don’t put friends ahead of your family, family will be there always, friends will not
Do what your heart tells you, the heart never lies

Golden Rules

A baby is born; it cries the umbilical cord is cut
The baby learns to crawl, eat, walk, and many other things on their own, looking back they 
seem so simple to learn for us as human beings, after all everyone does it
A baby isn’t a baby anymore but a child 
You teach them to ride a bike, throw a ball, and they scrape a few knees in the process
Adolescence hits and they go from wanting to be taught to wanting to learn on their own
Every moral they were taught is wrong, every lesson you tried to show them they think is
Wrong
This adolescent is now a grown up, they want to do things on their own but want a guiding 
hand from time to time like their childhood
This grown up is now a full blown adult, they have children and the cycle starts again, with 
those parents in what were once your shoes
Their children grow up and they see everything that they put you through in their 
adolescence and start to realize all of those lessons they once though were silly are now 
Golden Rules
All the while you grow older and realize you made mistakes, but for all of the wrong choices 
there were good ones
You age and start a reverse process that your child once took
Simple things that once were easy for you are now a difficult task
The bathroom is so close but so far away, walking from one end of the house is like a child 
walking for the first time, wobbly and a near spill from time to time. 
All the while people are looking on seeing the regression and learning another lesson
In your aging a lesson is being taught once again, a great lesson so simple but hard to 
realize in our dumb youth
It isn’t what you are when you leave this world, it’s the memories and lessons you leave 
behind for generations. The legacy you leave with your loved ones.

You, Why? Why Not?

You, Why?  Why Not?

You have everything that you thought would make you happy but you aren’t 
Why?
She pours her heart out for you and you don’t do it back
Why?
You tell her you aren’t happy, but don’t know the answer to your own happiness
Why?
You can’t be happy no matter what you do with your life 
Why?
Everything you do never is good enough for your own expectations
Why?
She tells you to just be happy; life is too short to not be happy, you think to yourself, well
Why not?  Happiness isn’t in what you do, it’s not in your achievements, Life happiness is in 
who you have.

Mom

Mom

You’re born
You come out of your mother she suffers through the pain but all for you
She walks next to you when you are taking your first steps 
Every baseball game she cheers out your name, even if you only get to bat that once
Prom she is the first to hug you, taking pictures like the camera is going out of style
You graduate 
She cheers so loud you are almost embarrassed, but she is glowing in pride
You grow up
Off to college you go, she cries her eyes out, hating to she her baby go 
You get married
 The glow is back, it brings back memories of that great day for her so many years ago
Your first child comes 
She’s a grandma, you can’t wipe the smile off her face
She walks you through the first steps in parenthood like she had done when she watched 
you walk for the first time 
Mom is always there, always standing by your side in all of your accomplishments and 
journeys in life
No matter what you do mom is there, she’s the glue that holds the family together.
All of the time she does it not for glory, but to see her child be great. She never asks for  
credit, It’s credit enough  for her to see her baby thriving. 
She does it because the love she has for you is stronger than anything, no matter what Mom 
will be there with unconditional love. All because she loves you so much

Almighty God

All powerful god who 
Loves unconditionally, he is the 
Maker of the world, he is 
Imaginary to some, but for those who believe he
Guides us in life, he resides in
Heaven 
Thank you for what you give us
You are our savior 
Giver and taker of life
Open your heart to him and the
Devil stands no chance

The Man

The Man 

I walk like him, you can tell I’m his son just after a few steps
I talk like him, we use the same funny words, we have the same voice
I look like him, looking in my eyes he can see himself from years ago
I act like him, we have the same mannerisms, same smile
We love the same things
We hate the same things
He wants the best for me
He doesn’t want me to struggle like he has had to 
He does everything for me, all  to help me get out of the trap of this place
He does everything to see his children be better than he was
He doesn’t understand this is impossible
He doesn’t see the person he became is the person I want to be
He is my dad 
The man he is, is the man I want to be
