As I reminisce about my history
Listening to voices from my past
I am always left with a smile on my face
Usually ending with a laugh
I was lucky with my parentage
Who blessed me with six siblings
Each day in a house so full
Opportunity for fun every sunrise brings
We had our share of challenges
Including some illnesses quite severe
Thanks to our collective resilience
The laughter was always there to hear
Even though our family moved a lot
Friends, for me, were easy to find
When your best friends share your last name
Moving away you don’t so much mind
Still, my memories include many others
Who also frequent my dreams
Friends who to me were like a brother
From another mother, or so it seems
So, if you see me sitting quietly
With a sly smile upon my face
You can bet my mind is wandering
To another time in another place
My baby's never got to be insecure.
Truth is he is the only one I want to nurture.
My neighbours are just my found family.
My only friends where I live here really.
My home girl is more like a mother figure,
My former home boy was like a father figure,
My two friends are each more like a brother,
My other gals are just each like a sister.
My building is where I feel the least lonely.
My love is why I am now even more happy.
My life is not always the most lovely.
My homies are the ones who make it lively.
My love life is so much better than before.
My love loves me back like it isn't a chore.
Even as I spend time with them, I'll love him,
For with him, life will never again feel grim.
No Spotlight
No Stage
No audience
Straight out words
Life itself
Confusing and complexing
Drawbacks with a mysterious wonder
Sometimes impossible to bare
Forced possible to go through
Unforeseen
Death of a friend
Like a brother
Died in a car crash on Highway 707
Around Firestone Valley, car descends below in instant death
I weep
Crying river tears
Torn page ripped out of life
Discontinued Chapters never to see
Life seems unfair
How will I ever recover?
Wounds cut deep
Alone with my only soul to Keep
My mind thinks, but no true answers in how I will go on
Loss in my own demise of words
Thinking that my friend died in the flesh but lives in the spirit
Holy land soar
Feel alone with a lonely sensation
Yet, I am not alone as my friend’s spirit surrounds me and he is looking down on me
His death is a finale, but my heart will always remember
My mission to live on until my friend and I meet again.
My friend, so much like a brother to me,
has met me in these woods where we like
to hunt for pesky animals we see.
I’ve brought my bow and arrows on this hike.
Because I’ve known this friend most of my life,
I have confided to him I believe
some man is paying visits to my wife
while I am out of town. I’m not naive!
Something he has told me now gives me pause.
I’m at a cliff. He’s somewhere at my back.
I lift my bow and turn around because
I hear him running . He’s on the attack.
He’ll shove me off this cliff and watch me die?
In an instant, I let an arrow fly.
He says he loves her
She says he doesn’t
He says he’ll always be there for her
She says he won’t
He adores her
She despises him
He sees his future in her eyes
She sees the Devil in disguise
He tells her he loves her
She tells him “diddo”
He says shes nothing less than beautiful
She says “yes, I know”
He tries his best to keep her secure
She tries her best to push him away
He tries his best to prove that she’s special
She tries her best to show she doesn’t care
He tries his best to love her like no other
She tries her best to love him like a brother
He loves her and doesn’t care who knows it
She loves him but just don’t know how to show it
He’s never been in a relationship
She’s never been in one this deep
He’s not afraid to show his feelings
She's too afraid to speak her mind
He wants to spend the rest of his life with her
She wants to make it last this time
Despite the lectures
we sought one another
love her like a sister
she loves me like a brother
I left the table gathering
bits of conversation
chatting with others
I learned she wished to marry
we joked about our status
and smiled when we spoke
of us together
She hunched me with her elbow
and told me a kiss change me
ever since then we were together
she really makes me happy
night swallows the light of day
under the glaring moon
hazy humid summers
a evening dinner in june
we wished to marry
on Valentine
on a cold frosty day
but the baby was due in
august
the moment carried us away
Jealous MUCH?
Sometimes, I wonder
If we’re jealous of one another
You’re like a brother
From another mother,
Not a sister or a mister, life’s such a mighty blur
It’s a mystery if I’ll ever make it
But life is not much of a disaster…I keep thinking of him or her
It’s a mystery if I’ll make life legit
Sometimes, I wonder
If we’re jealous of one another
I’ll be doing a lot better
If I wasn’t such a regretter…
Am I jealous much?
I’m such a jerkasaurus sometimes and I can act irrational when I want to be with somebody I love
Am I jealous and such?
I’m such a miserable, mighty mess and I can act out of control when I envy you with him or her or whoever I think of
Black on good
Touches his manhood
Like a mother should
Thinks it should be in a museum
For God and good
Joey, dreamlike
Always plays it cool
Keeps a gun tucked
Fourteen carat
Sideways dude
Mississippi, likes the rap
Urban cowboy
Got a holster with a flap
Just call me Missi
With an I
The first to die
Deals going down
Going down good
Expansion is the mood
Big time around the bend
Not now but when
Time to ascend
Hit the new den
Death was quick for Missi
With an I
No fast draw
Urban cowboy
Shot in both eyes
Joey heard the scream
Through the dream
Pulled from the tuck
Kill you all
Shot off his balls
Sideways fall
Black on good
Like a brother
Felt their pain
Shot trying to save
Respect
Got his final wish
Passed the Museum to his grave.
The soul must travel the path
This is filled with life strife, kindness and wrath.
One soul my make a difference one way or another
Wat if we treated every soul like a brother
One soul sacrificing it self for others
Just trying to keep souls from the gutter.
At the end of this path does the soul find
The way to the place in mind
Or was the entrance to heaven just being kind
It’s a quest
So souls do your best
Heaven my not be far
I lost my friend just the other day
Just like a brother in so many ways
I know he’s there waiting ‘round for me
And I know one day I’ll see
When life got tough, he’d help me through
It seemed he always knew just what to do
I know no one can ever be
Like my friend waiting there for me
There’s not too many like this friend of mine
Never too busy he’d take the time
When everything was wrong and I saw no light
He was always there to help me make it right
He was my friend, and I miss him so
He was my friend, why did he have to go
When the sun is shining bright, or on a starry, starry night
He’s waiting there for me - he’s my friend.
Wishing you a day
Which is special for you
And for your parents
I'm very lucky
To have you
A friend, like a brother
You are very kind
A person with a great mind
You, a happy friend of mine
Happy birthday dear
Have a great day
Be happy and enjoy your day
The desires that you made
What you want to be fulfilled
May Almighty fulfil all
WE WERE DESIGNED TO GIVE
When we learn to really care
And truly want to share
We know that we have found
A safe and solid ground
Life will be more sweet
When we with others meet
To give them what they need
Their life and soul we feed
For it has long been found
That life is only sound
If we live to bless another
And love them like a brother
No matter who they be
A friend or enemy
God made us for such love
It was sent from Him above
We were designed to live
We were designed to give
To find our joy in this
Instead of selfishness

I think back to the days
Of that elfin faced boy
Sweet , funny and a little coy
Like a brother to mine
A second son
Lasting memories
Of good times and fun
Two boys playing
Innocent and carefree
Full of life and promise
For who they will be
From boys to men
Decent and strong
Finding their place
Where they belong
The elfin faced boy
Now has a child of his own
To love and protect
Until he has grown
He now has a beautiful boy
His reason everyday
Forever to teach and guide him
To help him find his way
Your child’s life will be wonderful
Full of happiness and joy
A good man he will become
Being raised by the elfin faced boy!
He sometimes seems more like my mother...
Sometimes like my father...
Sometimes like my brother...
And
Sometimes like my heart's core?
He is amazing...
It's not easy for him to stand even after facing so many things...
"God, please give him eagle wings..."
He is strong...
It's not easy for him to nurture a girl even he is a child...
"God, please give him tungsten shield..."
He is mature...
It's not easy for him to take care of me as her daughter...
" God, please never let his happiness fall too shorter... "
He is more like a mother to me when I behave like child...
More like a father when I want someone to support...
More like a brother when I want protection...
And
More like a partner when I need more love in life...
That's why he is special to me...
Enough for giving love in one life of mine...
I'm not asking you to give him to me for next 7 years...
Just give him my happiness of next 7 years...
Enough for me...
Give every kind of love, care to him..
Imagine,
Just walking on a road of life
and watching temporary people around you,
No one makes a meaningful relation but parents are the exception.
Suddenly a person arrives,
who changed your way to see life.
A person who loves you like a father,
who cares you like a mother,
who protects you like a brother,
who fights with you like a sister,
who makes your every movement memorable just like a
friend forever,
who is with you in your happiness and sadness too like lover,
and suddenly you realise that you find your all relations in one person and that's beyond imagination......
