Premium MemberYes I Will

With Christ, the 'Answer Scales'
Of life are very imbalanced. He
Says 'Yes' far more than 'No'.
So many "Yeses'  are recorded,
But so few 'No's'; What gives?

All the'Yeses' did not come right away.
But the bottom line was usually 'Yes'.

For example,
There are multiple 'Yeses',
But allow me to give you four.


'We need more wine'.
He said, 'Yes'.
'Please heal me of my leprosy?'
He said, 'Yes'.
'May I come walking to you on the water?'
He said, 'Yes'.
'Please heal me of my blood disease'.
He said, 'Yes'.

And oh my friend, what countless times
Christ has said, 'Yes' to you and me.


Premium MemberWho's fooling who?

Long and sad goodbye at the airport.
Both struggling with health issues.
Undoubtedly last time these friends would meet.

Premium MemberGoodbye Brutis



    My friend had to put his dog to sleep today,
        he was a Dachshund only five years old;
                   loyal, brave, clever, pretty eyes,
                   feisty, beloved, with floppy ears.
    Brutis had a "big" dog personality all the time,
        loved most people, children, and other dogs;
    Oh, Brutis had so much charisma, so much charm,
        I can see him walking with that wee hop in his step.
               But, Dachshunds have delicate backs,
         and Brutis suddenly became paralyzed.
                    No surgery possible,
                    no other option ~
    So, he said goodbye and I love you Brutis today,
         you were a little warrior-  now, go get your wings !

Premium MemberGoodbye my friend

We’ve been good friends for a long time. 
Now we must shake hands, then goodbye. 
Try to stay in touch with each other. 
Our farewell will flow like a river.
 
My buddy, good luck, and take care.
Gazing at our sad eyes, don’t despair!
Remember our fun times of friendship
As we meet and part on our long trip.

Take a deep breath, relax, and smile
Later, the new friends will identify
Even farewell symbolizes sadness, 
But knowing people brings us happiness.

Our work positions are temporary
Most friendships will fade finally
The fork in the road, we are facing
It’s time to smile for handshaking

adieu languid summer days

Premium MemberThat Pause Between Summer and Autumn


School was out, setting her free in summer -
free to tell friends bye, be lonely and cry.
Tears would spill for a best friend of one year
who she had learned would in time forget her.
Most teens knew same place and faces through school.
Military brats do not live that truth.

Summer would decide her joy for school's start.
Parents choose suburbs, not an army base,
to be this year's school and friends starting place.
She hoped the house was in a neighborhood
with teens her same age to share summer skies,
then fall, winter and spring for her next page.

Premium MemberMy Angel How Are You?

My angel how are you? I am OK. Wish you were here now, I miss you very much. Is heaven above the sky? On the other side of the clouds? Way up really - really high? One day I hope to be up there with you. For now I guess I am stuck here on earth. Waiting to be with you everyday, and with every long lonely night. I love talking just to you. Can you hear me talking? I want to see you, guess that must wait. Wait for now. Goodbye, me.

Premium MemberLost

I lost my beautiful dog today 
I lost my dearest friend 
She took with her 
a piece of my heart 
I’ll never feel again 

I know you’ll say 
there will come a day 
when your heart is filled with another
but you didn’t know 
my Chuli girl
A dog unlike any other 

I’ve never cried 
or felt inside
the way I felt with her
saying goodbye 
as I watched her die
and nuzzled my face in her fur

Now I’m back home
I feel so alone 
The silence is filled with tears
I miss her so
You’ll never know 
She was part of my very best years

Premium MemberIn Memory Of

So many friends came to say goodbye
Remember the good times, not going to cry
You were such a part of everyone you knew
A special someone for everything that makes up you
Hard to accept that you are no longer here
Keep waiting for the moment when you reappear
It really hit me, hearing the songs you wrote
Nobody else could quite hit that same note
You just had the voice, perfect for that sound
Never could be matched, from anybody around
You've always been a part of us, somewhere in the background
It doesn't feel right, not having you around
This may have come late, but now I realize
You have always been a special part of our lives

Premium MemberNot ready to say goodbye

At a loss. know not what to do
Not ready to say goodbye to you
Talked online for over a year
Became good friends, I love so dear

Sometimes we talked all through the night
We brought our inner souls to light
We shared secrets only each had known
Our love as friend has really grown

Our friendship has grown and I know it's real
Though sometimes I feel that its no big deal
Given time this friendship could grow
you know the saying "Time will Show"

Premium MemberDumb and Stupid

Relationships can be good.
They can be also bad.
You hope they would.
Sometimes not be sad.

Don't let anyone call you dumb.
They don't know the rule of thumb.
If you are hurting and trying.
You need let it go; crying.

If a friend calls you a name.
Then you may feel like doing the same.
People can be mean.
They seem to be full of green. (Envy)

If someone calls you dumb or stupid.
Maybe they ought to call cupid.
They ought to know when things end bad.
They should be a support for you and not let you be sad.

Premium MemberNot Goodbye

.                   I cherish our time together
                  If today brought me to the end
                       The words I won't say
                  To my dearest love; best friend
                                 My soulmate 
                         Would not contemplate
               For goodbye means everything gone again
                    I would hold you until my dying day
                  Reliving our memories time and again
                     Through thick and stormy weather

Do not cry one single tear
Having no fear
My dear
Just remember our yesteryear

Premium MemberGoodbye Old Friend



Goodbye old friend
You've been such a part of us all
Of every correct and incorrect call
A diamond for the girls
The boys made it to first base
Heroes were born here
Zeroes too
A place with many faces
The home of "The Brew Crew"
A Robin flew here
One ran like a Deer
Mollie, Rollie and Coop
All would cheer
Wallbangers and bombers
Dreams of the seams
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
In memories
You'll live in the hallows
Of a park with a dome
Remember you'll always have a plate
To call home

Premium MemberI Hear

I hear you may be leaving.
No question does it pose.
My heart stirs not to grieving.
I can pluck another rose.
For if for friend or sanity,
'Tis the latter that I chose.
Please check the front yard lawn.
That's where you'll find your clothes.

Premium Membershe shunned me today

I opened up to this friend my soul
Establishing trust was my ultimate goal
she treated me worse than a sliver of coal
to me serious comeuppance she did dole

do I trust her again with my open heart?
Betrayal has split us up, torn us apart.
To say she was a traitor is a bit of a start.
Sharing my confidence was a bulleting dart.

I used to think she was a super good friend.
But this violation was more than a slight bend.
Our friendship is broken, maybe it should end.
Unfortunately, I remember she used to be a good friend.

I decided to talk to her, but she shunned me away.
I guess this is more than a hint that I needed today.
My heart felt such sadness, on this unhappy Wednesday.
But I knew enough to leave, as she walked away.
