Your Heart Completes Mine - For My Daughters

I never knew
 
my world could be
 
so full of
 
Love
 
Until you came into
 
my life,
 
my sweet girls
 
It’s as if my heart
 
had a space
 
that I didn’t even know
 
was there
 
waiting to be filled
 
Now your laughter
 
brightens my
 
soul
 
Your smile
 
sweetens my
 
day
 
And your heart
 
completes
 
mine.

What I Know of Love - For My Parents

What I know of love
I learned from you
From all those times
you picked me up
when I fell
and told me everything would
be ok
A kiss and a hug from you
and everything was
You never gave up on me
or each other
And as I watched you
weather the storms of life together
I learned that Love 
is easy
but Life takes work
And it was you who taught me
that the things that truly matter
in life
aren't really things at all - 
respect, compassion,
kindness, honesty
All that makes me 
who I am today
But most of all I learned
that a parent's love 
is like no other
And I wanted you to know
there are no other parents
more loved and cherished
than you

Pain

I used to think the Pain 
Would never 
Go away
It was an unwanted 
Part of me
Part of my bones
Part of my soul
I used to wish 
That I would die
Not to stop living
But to stop hurting
My fragile world would 
Threaten to fall 
Apart
Each time I heard
“You’ll just have to learn  
To live with it”
But the amazing thing is that 
I have -
And now 
When the pain comes
It’s still a part of me
But it doesn’t control or
Define me
My soul wants to 
Live now
And my world isn’t as 
Threatening 
As it 
Used to 
Be.

Sitting With the Tears

I’m crying and not sure why
 
sitting here listening to
 
Jimmy Buffett of all things
 
I guess it takes me back to a
 
simpler time
 
When my toughest decision was
 
how many used cd’s to buy
 
And not should I cut off
 
one of my breasts or
 
two
 
But at least I have the choice
 
and I have the chance
 
to fight
 
Which is more than a lot of
 
people can say
 
So, I will sit with
 
the tears
 
And thank God that
 
I’m alive
 
to be crying them

Space In My Heart

There’s a space in 
My heart 
Since you’ve been gone
That my tears can’t
Wash away
And my thoughts won’t
Leave alone
You were always there 
When I needed you 
And it hurts so much
Not being able to 
Be with you now
I keep seeing you lying there
Not able to talk
Not able to move
Only a shadow of my friend
Who brought so much love
And laughter 
Into my world
I wonder what you’re feeling
And if you know how much 
My heart is 
Breaking
My love and prayers
Are all I can offer you now
So far away
And after all you’ve given me 
That seems like 
So little
But I can’t give up 
Believing
That I will see you smile
And hear you laugh 
Again one day
And that your beauty 
And friendship
Will fill again
This terrible emptiness
In my
Heart

Your Gift To Me

Soon it will be two years
Since you’re gone
Sometimes it feels like forever
Other times just yesterday
So much has changed
I think by losing you
I was able to find myself
Strange this feeling of peace
That’s settled over me 
And quieted the storms 
Of my soul
Is this your gift to me
I winder
In life you gave me so much
In death you’ve given me 
Something more
What used to bring tears to my eyes
Now brings a smile
The feelings I used to deny myself
In good times and bad
I now welcome
The people I used to take for granted 
End even hate sometimes
I now cherish
Soon it will be two years
Since you’re gone
And I still grieve your loss
But now I can also celebrate
The many things that I have found – 
Joy, sorrow
Friendship, family – 
Life itself
So precious 
So fragile 
And so wonderful

Learning To Live With It

I used to think the Pain
 
Would never
 
Go away
 
It was an unwanted
 
Part of me
 
Part of my bones
 
Part of my soul
 
I used to wish
 
That I would die
 
Not to stop living
 
But to stop hurting
 
My fragile world would
 
Threaten to fall
 
Apart
 
Each time I heard
 
“You’ll just have to learn  
 
To live with it”
 
But the amazing thing is that
 
I have -
 
And now
 
When the pain comes
 
It’s still a part of me
 
But it doesn’t control or
 
Define me
 
My soul wants to
 
Live now
 
And my world isn’t as
 
Threatening
 
As it
 
Used to
 
Be.

What do you do when
 your own body turns against you
 and you find yourself battling
 a true homegrown terrorist?
 When your cells and tissue are
 changing into things that
 can kill you
 and your life is in the hands of people
 you’ve never met before
 What do you do to survive
 your own body?
 
You turn to something else inside you
 like your spirit
 your Faith
 your inner strength
 Things that may have been silent
 in the past
 but now raise their voices
 to comfort and guide you
 through the darkness and pain
 And things outside yourself
 like strangers battling their own bodies
 who don’t stay strangers
 very long
 People who promise to pray for you
 friends and family who cook and
 clean for you
 The beauty of a sunset
 that reminds you that you’re
 not alone
 And the innocent embrace of a child
 that gives more comfort
 than any medicine ever could
 
This is what I did
 when my body turned against me
 And I realized
 that I am more
 than my physical threats and
 limitations
 I am spiritual
 I am Faith-full
 and I am grateful
 to live more
 to love more
 and to be
 more

Once

I guess I loved you
once
A long time ago 
when things seemed so uncomplicated
and real
But it's all blurred
and faded now
like the dreams just before you wake
that slip away
when you open
your eyes
You are a stranger 
to me now
lost in a world
I can't be 
a part of
My words have no
meaning in that 
world-
and neither do I
I guess I'll always 
love you-
the you I used to 
know-
the only you
there is 
for me 
now

Until Your Heart Can Smile Again

There are no words
 
sensitive enough
 
to capture what you’re feeling
 
right now
 
Just as there are no words
 
strong enough
 
to carry you through this
 
difficult time
 
But even though I may not
 
have just the right things to say
 
I am here for you-
 
to lean on
 
to talk to
 
to cry with
 
And if only I could
 
take all the hurt away
 
with just a wave of
 
my hand
 
I would
 
But for now I offer you
 
my hand to
 
hold on to
 
my friendship and love to
 
comfort you
 
and my strength
 
to borrow
 
Until your difficult days are
 
past
 
and your heart can
 
smile again.
