Details | I do not know? | Everything Is Not So Right. Graduation night. Everything was so right. But you wouldn't know, You were a no show. I cried myself to sleep that night. I held it in so long, the tears blurred my sight. You broke my heart that day. Into a million little pieces i would say. Never fail to let me down. But no longer will I frown. I have paid my dues, and I no longer have any respect for you.

Details | Free verse | Thank You "Thank You" Brought tears to my eyes to hear your first cry, You did. Brought home love, caring, and delight for life, You did.

Details | Bio | My Best Friend and Mom She stood there smiling as I walked the line, The day had finally come it is my graduation time. She stood there crying as I lay in the bed, Happy as can be she said "I can see her head!" She stood there crying with a broken heart, After Katrina quickly tore our lives apart. My mom is not only a mom as you can see, She is so much more for she is a BEST FRIEND to me. For this I know is her love has no lack, I would do anything for her; even walk from hell and back.

Details | Free verse | FOREVER GONE     At fifteen, fate dealt a cruel, swift blow, To Kansas City, Kansas, forced to go.   Graduation dreams, with friends, forever gone, A life disrupted, a lonely, weary dawn.               A mother’s absence, a chasm deep and wide,  Cast adrift on the streets, nowhere to hide.      Culture shock, a whirlwind, school a fearsome place, Hopes and dreams extinguished, leaving not a trace.  Playing the hand, a bitter, lonely game, Accepting shadows, embracing fleeting fame.   A life reshaped, by forces unforeseen, A resilient spirit, though the wounds remain the same.

Details | I do not know? | Graduation Day Her eyes dancing with excitement The joy cannot be contained Today is graduation day My sanity regained! Her red gown pressed so neatly Cap perfectly on her head Tears are coming to my eyes No matter what I said! Call her name, Come on let’s go! Across that stage so brave One hand open, One hand up Tell me she’s not going to wave! The crowd goes wild for my little girl She blows kisses to us all Hands are waving in the air Please look out for the wall! As she disappears from my sight Her big debut’s been made I can’t believe it’s finally over Here we come 1st grade!

Details | I do not know? | Last Time Forever A mother’s loving look at her newborn child, Never able to relive that moment again. For it’s the last time forever. Walking into kindergarten for the first time, Feeling so alone and afraid, don’t fear For it’s the last time forever. Kneeling in prayer as you are born again, Living as a sinner no longer, For it’s the last time forever. Walking across stage on graduation night, Nervous because it’s your last few steps as a “child”, For it’s the last time forever. Praying to God to help you jump the hurdles, Seeing prayers being answered, never doubt For it’s NOT the last time forever.

Details | Blank verse | We'Re Living In a World Today We livin in a world today, Where its streets over home Heartaches where pain rome… Its guns before goodies, Babies before books… Boys before brothers, & family below lovers… Its sex without rubbers, More baby showers than graduation parties And more funerals than weddings… We’re blinded by lust, And trapped without trust… We’re living in a world today, Where everybody falls a victim to the street.. A bullet is the only thing they seem to meet; Everybody’s a follower, But nobody leads! We’re living in a world today, Where only parents read.. The obituary is one thing they probably Aren’t too happy to view.. But the kids who listen: Its only a few. It’s more obituaries than honor rolls And this is what we live in… Today

Details | Free verse | Growing Years Will you be here while they're little to sooth their childish fears? Here with Love and wisdom to enrich their growing years?

Details | Rhyme | Celebrate Life We come into the world with a push and a burst, So years of studying must be done first. We learn about history, science, and math, Proper etiquette, chores and how to take a bath. Then off to College - more classes to learn, While the midnight oil we continually burn! After College graduation we get a job and maybe a mate, All of it depends on the decisions of fate! Slow down my friend, it's time to relax, Put away the phone, computer and fax! Enjoy all you have and Celebrate Life, Away from the stress, worry, and strife! The time we've been given be it short or long, Celebrate Life with your family and friends in dance and song! Spread happiness and good spirits wherever you can, While striving to help your fellow man!

Details | Rhyme | Why Don'T Men Cry Why don’t men cry, or do they. Why do they not share feelings? From onset of childhood, we say. Be very tough; secure the dealings. Boys are sissies when they cry. No shedding tears, it will not fly. No water works, eyes is dry. Not even a whimper, or sigh. Boys are soon to be men Then definitely not then, Shows weakness to fall, No feelings should be seeing. However, when father sees son, Upon their birth, a life begun, Tears show up under the gun. This is truly always done. Upon losing one, feelings flow. Loss of close loved ones do show. Graduation days, glistened glow, Weddings of daughter’s hearts know. Water works upon this day Just a factual notion; that is said Humanity will always keep it fed. Why don’t men cry, or do they.

Details | Free verse | Graduation Day Seems like only yesterday, when I wore a white cap and gown. I was a very excited five year old, it was my kindergarten graduation. I was sick as a dog, after crying until I could not breathe~mom said I could go. The group diploma pictures were taken, it was back home and back to bed feeling so sick. I missed the party~I missed all the fun, that made me really sad. The years went by, I had another chance to get it right. A blue and white flower corsage I did wear, school colors made me proud. A night filled with family and friends, for all to see what I had done. Happy tears did fall, as the next chapter in my life was about to start. This time I was not missing the party, cutting my big cake brought me much joy. Date Written: 3/3/2023 Note: True story.

Details | Rhyme | A Heartbeat Away I’ve watched you for so long and from so far away I never meant to leave you i wanted to stay But the choice wasn’t mine and i had to go I’ve watched over the years our family grow and grow Our sons first day at school i watched with such pride I saw the tears that you shed that you could not hide I saw it all from so far away Never missing a moment never missing a day Our daughter’s graduation i watched out of view And as the years passed by i never stopped loving you For I’ve never moved on I’ve stayed frozen in time I’ve watched you grow older more lovely still mine But don’t feel lonely because every single day I’ve been beside you just a heartbeat away Our children are grown up now with their own family ties I know you still grieve me my love i hear your solitary cries I go back to the day you holding me crying As i lay in your arms my life ebbing away-dying But fear not love for your time grows near Hold back your tears and hold back your fear For we shall soon be once again together Bathed in gods golden light forever and ever

Details | I do not know? | Today Is Gone Today I saw my life pass me by I saw my first steps My first kiss, he was much cuter when we where little kids I saw my first day of Kindergarten, Junior and High school, I cant believe I used to wear that I saw me going on my first date And then going to prom with him Then breaking up because he wanted to just be friends, And how I cried for days Graduation soon came and how I missed my friends over the years Then college where I meet my true love, after many misses I Gaduated then was soon married the following December We had twin girls then fell in love and adopted a little boy and soon came another boy I remember seeing them all take there first steps and seeing my two little girls go to kindergarten But that’s where my life ends, Someone took one to many drinks, “I was only buzzed though.” I heard him say as they walked him passed me, while I and my youngest son lay under white sheets I said good-bye to my girls and husband while they where in the operating room My son Nathan cried when I told he couldn’t stay in Heaven with James, Jesus and I Three lives lost today two without a memory to remember

Details | Couplet | Gemoirs Memories often come to mind through anything that we may find perhaps, collected in a box stowed away as time tick tocks A jewelry box to be exact is what exemplifies this fact and as I muse in reverie I see how much it means to me A tiny , simple band of gold bestowed when I was one year old enclosed in my first birthday card still lovely now, though a bit scarred My first initial ring is there on Onyx, Silver has such flair the perfect thing I speculate for any well dressed boy of eight And then for graduation day a lovely diamond came my way it sparkled so to maximize the gleam of pride in grandma’s eyes I”ll not forget that Tiger’s Eye a Christmas gift, the last goodbye For grandma left us all that year a sad reminder resting here So many gems commemorate the years of love that I restate they shine as if to speak to me reflections of my history The box is full of thoughts renewed but mostly full of gratitude with one to add when I retire I think I’ll buy a Star Sapphire

Details | List | Milestones Life's first milestone For everyone the same Brought forth from the womb And given a name Vast ranges of childhood From first words to first date Next comes Graduation Then choosing a mate The milestones of life One by one, we pass them by Marking off our journey Looking forward, not behind The milestones of life Some bring laughter, some bring tears Let Jesus lead your way Travel's lighter without fear Many milestones, passed by Several more yet to come Race to the hospital Labor has begun Now a family of five Busy days, how they've flown Before we know it Children are grown The milestones of life One by one, we pass them by Marking off our journey Looking forward, not behind The milestones of life What lies beyond the next bend?

The milestones of life One by one, we pass them by Marking off our journey Looking forward, not behind The milestones of life One day their trail will cease If Jesus is your guide You'll arrive in perfect peace
