Dreams
|
Across the miles my heart cries for a love to call its own.
Over the ocean sodeep and blue my soul looks for you.
Thru time and spacemy mind wonders
Looking for allthoughts of you.
Day by day I see your smiling face
In pictures till I know every line.
Night by night in my dreams I am in your arms.
As the sun rises andshadows disappear
Tears stream down my face as I find it only a dream.
I long for sleep to linger on so I don't lose you

Your Gone, I grieve
|
Together since forever, as friends
Nothing could ever separate us in life
We went thru some rough times
We enjoyed the good times, laughing
You stood beside me, protected me
We picked each other up, dusted off the dirt
When the other had fallen in bad times
No subject we could not talk about
Even our love lives were open to the other
We endured in friendship when others didn't
We were best friends when others said impossible
You left me behind when you died
Grieving for such a loss of friendship
I know I will never find one as great
I cling to your memory to help me go on
I honor you my friend, my staunchest supporter
You will live forever in my heart.

Choices
|
Life is never easy; it hits us with the unexpected
We must learn to go with the flow, or get toppled
Nothing is ever the same, everything changes
Bad choices leave their mark on us
At times the bad choices rule our lives and decisions
Giving us disappointments so bitter we lose faith
We lose our way and do things that not right
It takes an angel to show us the way
To set our feet on the right path again
Some still fall by the wayside, not realizing the danger
Others start over on the new path and findredemption

Sweet Dreams
|
The world outside is unkind, giving us many lows
We become weary trudging thru the day
Feeling downtrodden and weary from it
Come on home my dear and tell me about the day
Lay your weary head on my shoulder, cast out your worries
Tell me your troubles and let it all go from your mind
If I could I would make the world go away for you to sleep
Lay your weary head down and close your eyes
I am here holding you close to my heart so you can sleep
Rubbing your back to ease the tension away
Softly kissing your check as you drift off
Don't fight the sleep lay your weary head down
Sweet dreams my love

In Remebrance
|
It was a majestic sight
To see in the distance
The New York City skyline
The twin towers standing bold
It was a sight to behold
Where else but in America
Can you see something
That leaves you in wonder
This has always been with me
Till that day of terror
It hurt my heart to know
My children will never see it
On September 11, 2001
I lost a part of my past
My present and it hurts
Because it is no longer there
I grieve more deeply
For those who lost
So much more than me
The lost a loved one
I will never forget
The scene on Television
Of the smoky towers
That once stood majestically
Nor will I ever forget
The people who die
On that horrific day
God bless their souls
Our heroes and our loved ones
Will always be remembered
Their loss will always
Be in my heart and my prayers
Written in remembrance on the 2nd anniversary of September 11th

When I Am Gone
|
There is a sickness in me laying dormant
Like that of a volcano,waiting to erupt
No cure in sight, it is there unseen
Deadly to me and all around me
If it ever goes live, none are safe
I fight my tears knowing it is there
That one day It will take me away
Away from all I know and love
I cry not for me but those i leave
I try to be brave, to show them it is alright
I smile my smile to give them comfort
To let them know I will live in their hearts
Deep inside is where the sickness is
In my blood, waiting to take me
I don't want to die, but I'll be brave
Till the last, I'll be strong for them
No one can carry this burden for me
Just walk beside me, hold my hand
Know that I love you, remember that
My life was not easy, that I carried on
I lived the only way I knew how to
Doing whats right, with honor and love

Lazy Day
|
Lying back on the green grass of spring
Watching the late afternoon sun set
The sky ablaze with bright reds and oranges
Breeze softly whispering in my ear
Fireflys lighting the early evening
Tree frogs craoking, crickets chirping
Birds singing their last songs
Hearing the creek gentlely moving
Day fading into the night stars appear
Twinking far above my head, brightly
Moon sloftly glowing, showing me it's face
What a way to end the day, not a worry in mind.

Do You Hear my Cry
|
In this world there is suffering, unseen and unheard
As every one hurries on with their busy little lives
Too involved in things, not wanting to get involved
Some times not even seeing what is there for all to see
When every one around me is loud, I try to speak
I go unheard, unseen, Do you hear me? Hear my cry?
I carry on as I must, pain in my heart, sorrow in my eyes
Keeping it inside, not willing to show it all, no relief
You come to me in your need as you always have
Cry on my shoulder then gone when all is well for you
My heart is heavy, my burdens many, my pain buried deep
Tears stream down my face, streaking my checks
Do you hear my cry? Do you ease my mind, my burdens
No? But I carry on and I always will, no matter comes
Will you cry for me when I am gone? I think not
You never heard my cry, never saw the tears
Never walked beside me, never eased my worries
Never eased the burdens that weighed me down so heavy
I hope you found the solace I gave helpful in your need
That I eased your burdens, wiped your tears, lessened your burdens
I gladly gave comfort where it was needed for all
I walked beside many, saw the flood of tears
Eased many a heart and burdens along the way
When I am gone no one will ever hear my cry

Strenght
|
As I go thru life, I wander alone, lost in it allOthers that depend on me, I give what they needNever asking or getting in return, as if I don't matterI keep all my fears, tears and pain inside, HiddenLove comes and goes, True love not foundI continue on, Strong for others, weak for meI grew up to do without question, to carry onTo be strong and hold my head high, no matter Been beaten and broken, never completely I will carry on, weak as I may be, Strong in spirit I will not give up, I will survive, I am a survivor Nothing or no one can take that away from me. Bring on adversity, problems and hate, bring it on Let me show how I survive with out you in my life See I carry on, I mend and heal, I survive

death!
|
As a Mother who had given my first born up for adoption, I know how your mother may have felt. I was just a kid my self at the time not knowing where my life was going and it was unfair to even think of raising a child with so much unknown. I wanted the child to have a life I didn't know if I could give and now 26 years later that child has found mean I am greatful. The child grew up well and loved. Yes the child also had fears like you and she worked thru her fears and depresion with poetry. I am sorry that you don't have the chance to have met her as mine has done with me. I believe all she want was for you to be safe and loved in a way she felt she could not give you. It was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. Do I regret it? Everyday I do. But I am also glad that it turned out like I had hope for. My heart goes out to you.

Seasons
|
The outside world changes thru the seasons
As we go thru the seasons of life ourselves
Spring is the time of birth and rebirth
To begin again new, fresh in life, always sweet
To grow as the season grows and changes
Summer is for the fun in life, our youth
To be young and care free, no worries
To be nourished with love and the elements
Fall a time of maturity and settling down
Full of knowledge, wisdom and hope
Living in contentment and harmony in life
Winter a time of aging and preparing
For the final journey in life, to give way
For the new spring of birth and rebirth.

A Love Lost
|
What gives life a meaning? Love
Acceptance for who you are
To be held close to one's heart
Treasured for one's self alone
I want to hold on dearly to a love
One that's mine but you deceived me
Played me like a fool, broke my heart
Forgiveness is in me to give willingly
But I can't forget the pain of betrayal
The sense of loss and worthlessness
That you instilled in my heart.
The feelings of aloneness is mine
Weary from my time with you
Heavy hearted and down trodden
I want to know the love of a good soul
One that doesn't fade as the new is gone.
My heart is broken and I cry for what never was
I want to mend and grow in love, pure love
To be someone's treasure beyond measure
One who thinks nothing of the big things
When the little things matter most of all
For a love lost is no love at all to me
What is so lacking in me and my heart
That no one can love me for me
I don't want to be treated like a queen
I want to be treated like the love of one's life
Do you not see what you have done to me
Do you even care that you broke my heart
Hurt me beyond reason and rhyme.
I must be evil for no one to want to love me
Should I just give up and live alone, unloved
You knocked the wind out of my sail
Left me breathless in bewilderment
I don't want to go on alone like this
It hurts to my very being and core
AM I doomed to remain unloved
A love lost is no love at all thru out time
