Heat

Heat enfolding around
Warmth continually surround
Pleasure taken from cold

Basking at my leisure
Encompassing treasure
Moisture licking foretold

From ankle to thigh you travel
As my body does unravel
From this flame you share

Caressing my neck you taste
Embroiling with your lack of haste
As you pet my skin

Fresh towel 
out of the dryer behold

Missing You

This special day each year
I bring you flowers and love
Visiting with you for hours
While watching the clouds above
Drifting on

The days they go by quickly
Our special day is near
Every day since you left
I have visited with you here
In my heart

This year to my dismay
I can not travel to be with you
It tears me up inside
Like nothing more could ever do
I’m missing you

I will stop throughout the day
And share a memory with you
The flowers I will take home
For you can see them there too
Dear Dad

I hope I’ve made you proud
I’ve done my best to be strong
I spend each day striving
To do right and not wrong
I’m missing you

You taught me all I know
And raised me on your own
I want you to know dear dad
You are the king of my throne
I love you Dad

Mornings

I hate mornings, yes I do!
I hate mornings, don't you too?
Tripping across the ice cold floor;
Stumbling 'till I reach the door.
Then step into a nice warm shower;
Gee wish I could spend an hour.
Dry my hair and comb it too.
Boy wish I could find that shoe.
Grab a bite, then it's out the door.
BRRRRR, this is words than that icy floor.
It's off to work in a great big hurry;
Trying to ignore the immense snow flurry.
I hate mornings, don't you too?
There is too much hustle and bustle to do.
I hate mornings, and this is true!
I hate mornings, Yes I do!

Together Through the Years

Together through the years......
     you have traveled not only hand in hand,
     but side by side,
     soaking up the knowledge 
      and wisdom 
     from experiences and happenings
     which the sands of time have sent 
     drifting into your path
     on your journey through life.

Together through the years......
     you have watched and endured
     the temperament of mother natures' emotions
     as she:  watered you blossoming
     flowers with tears both of joy and sorrow;
     sent lightening showers of furry
     down to open the eyes of those
     who have forgotten
     she can take care of her own;
     and warmed the hearts and souls of many
     as she hung the sun brightly in the sky.

Together through the years......
     you have traveled many roads
     and walked on many paths.
     You have shared laughter
     and tears, triumph and sorrow.
     It has been 50 years
     and you have traveled together,
     lovingly side by side,
     together through the years.

Borrowed Time

TICK TOCK

Back in time we can not go
To change the past, of this we know
But hurt it does, when this we see
How for granted we took, of thee

TICK TOCK

Precious minutes, I now not waste
Passage marked, now not in haste
Cherished moments, few will be
Before she is taken, away from me

TICK TOCK

Borrowed time, you've given to us
But at a steep price, we must now fuss
Warning was given, to us with pain
Can not change this, have tried in vain

TICK TOCK 

But cherish I will, of this be sure
Wasting not one, will be our cure
Cure from fear of you, you see
Fear of the moment she is taken from me

TICK TOCK

Suffer the Children

Alive but dead
Here unseen
Crying out unheard
Bleeding uncut
From open wounds

You can't know
Problems don't exist
I am not here
Standing before you
Screaming with rage
At the pain shrouded

Damaged not scarred
Forever tainted
Open to all
Hiding from myself
To obscure the past

Transgressions not mine
Infractions to blame
Innocense lost
Aged years
No time passage
Who has lost

Time does not heal
Victims forever more
Suffer the children

Plea To the Monster

Time has blessed us 
This I can not deny
But it isn't enough
Are the words I do cry

It's torture it's misery
Affliction and pain
Knowing of when
It will stop is no gain

Suffer us no more
Give us more time 
What was our passion
Was it a crime

Inflicted upon us
This horrendous disease
End us this monster
Give us some ease

If you can't grant our wishes
Then give time and more
To speak of our hearts
Before closing the door

Just do so with temperance
Of pain and of grief
We will thank you so kindly
To grant this relief

Thoughts of a Child

I am here 
But they don’t see
Mr. Officer
You’re talking of me

You say tell a teacher, 
A friend or you
But don’t you know 
What happens if I do

I have a family to protect 
Don’t you see
I am here
You are talking of me

No one has a right
To do what you’re saying
This isn’t a game 
That I am here playing

If it happens to me 
Then others will be safer
I take it on myself
To be the protector

I am only seven
This choice I have made
My silence is spoken
My life I will trade

I have a younger sister
It is her I protect
If it happens to me
Then her he will neglect

I have a mom
She’s happy you see
I will keep my little secret
It hurts no one but me
