Cherie Frediani Poem
I often wonder what made us fall in love with one another
We are so different from each other
Our strengths and our weaknesses are so different
Our ways of approaching things are so different
Our personalities and sense of humor are so different
Yet our love is so much alike.
Perhaps the differences we have
Is what adds to the excitement of our marriage
I know the both of us as a team
Is stronger than either of us alone.
We are just basically different from one another
Yet we share so many feelings and emotions in common.
So it really doesn't matter why or how we fell in love
All that really matters is that we continue
To love, grow and respect each other
No matter what our differences are forever.
Because No Matter What - I Do Love You.

Cherie Frediani Poem
Once again I sit here all alone
Painfully wondering where you are.
Not knowing if you're dead or alive.
You promised me you'd be right back
But once again you're heading
Down the wrong track.
I sit here once again wondering
Who you're spending our time with.
Contemplating if somehow
I could be the one to blame
Because again and again you seem
To be choosing the flame.
Why haven't you picked up
The phone and called?
It's because you're chasing
Your Monster and his Eight Ball.
I sit here pondering maybe
I'm doing something wrong
But it seems to be that
You’re being strung along.
Why would you make us go through this?
Has your Monster finally killed our wedded bliss?
I've searched for the answers but I have failed
And as for you it seems you have bailed.
So all I know is what I've learned
Painfully sitting here All Alone.

Cherie Frediani Poem
I awoke this morning and was granted the glorious
opportunity to watch a flower come into bloom.
I witnessed nature in all it's glory
every morning that that flower bloomed
I was seeing Mother Nature at her best.
As I watched this miricale of life take place
I wondered how many other people had
enjoyed this unique and empowering embrace.
As time went on, day after day watching and admiring
I came to realize that the flower I had been watching
and admiring was truly a reflection on myself.
Just as the flower had bloomed every morning
I too was blossoming and coming to life
Each day a reflection on the next.

Cherie Frediani Poem
What are we doing?
And where are we headed?
Is it just me, or have we stoped growing?
When we married, we both said it was forever.
In front of our families, friends and God.
I can't imagine us not together.
We have both made some mistakes along the way.
Some we have owned up too and some we hid.
But are these mistakes so awful that we'll throw 20 years away?
I can Honestly say that I have never cheated on you.
And up until recently you've never given me reason to be jealous.
But now you have changed all of that when you lied and weren't true.
You're the one who has never trusted.
No matter what I chose to say you never believed in me.
And now my heart feels like it has truly busted.
I try and I try to understand where we went wrong.
We used to have so much love between us.
I thought we could overcome anything, our love was so strong.
Please help me to try to completely understand.
Why can't we fight for that love.
If you're willing to do this then please take my hand.
I refuse to give up on us without a fight.
And I hope you're willing to do just the same.
Because I know I can't live without you in my life
You as my husband and I as your wife.
I love you Honey and I know you love me too.

Cherie Frediani Poem
I look in the mirror
staring at my reflection
Wondering who I really am?
I see my mothers smile
and my fathers eyes
but I can't see me, Who am I?
I see my grandmothers cheeks
and my grandfathers nose
but I still can't see me, Who am I?
I have my Memes hair
and my Pepeirs ears
I can see all of my elders
but I can't see me, Who am I?
I sat there in the mirror for hours
seeing everyone that I love
but there was still no sign of me in there.
I closed my eyes
and opened my heart wide
feeling the love of my family
while studying all their faces.
As I opened my eyes
and looked back into mirror
it was then that I understood.
All of those faces
looking back at me is Who I am.
I am all of them
and they are all of me.

Cherie Frediani Poem
As a child we were taught
to show respect for all adults.
As a young adult we were taught
how to earn respect from adults.
As an adult we have been told
that everything we had been taught
as a child and young adult no longer applies.
We are now expected to live by a whole new set of rules
and respect should just come naturally.
Is it just me or does it seem as if
everyone just expects that they should
be shown respect no matter what they do or say.
Shouldn't you have to give respect
to get respect from no matter what?

Cherie Frediani Poem
Where will I go,
and what should I do?
My whole entire life
has been living for you!!
Now that it's over
and now that we're done,
Not in my whole life
have I ever felt so alone!!
Being your wife
that's all that I know,
Always standing right by your side
never standing alone in your shadow!!
What the hell happened
where the hell did we go wrong?
I truly thought we were forever
How are you able to walk away after so long!!
You'll go your way and I'll go mine,
But I'll still pray that God
will bring us back together in time!!

Cherie Frediani Poem
A group of three were friends
for quite some years
They expressed their thoughts
and even shared some of their fears
It’s their individual personalities
that make this friendship so unique
Made from the one
who gets loud when they talk
Another who likes to argue a lot
and the one who has
earned the reputation as being a creep
Never once did they take their friendship for granted
they always tried to give the other their best advise
Nothing could ever come between them
or force them to make that sacrifice
Without a doubt all three of them knew
their friendship would be something
they could always depend
Because of the promise they made to each other
whether it be good, bad or whatever
in the end the three of them
would always remain best of friends
