Sweet Mistakes

SWEET MISTAKES


i sit here and think

of all i've done wrong

the whispering remnents

of a long ago song

while tragic decissions have created the past

the character built lays new path

without mistakes, goals can't be reached

if the the world was perfect 

there'd be nothing to teach.

we'd never explore our souls and our minds,

never know strengths that are built over time.

the wonder and awe that we see all around, without essence and knowledge

would shrival and drown 

love and contentment could never be felt

by a heart, that has never, disapointment been dealt. 

mistakes may seem bad,

like the end of the world 

but without them our souls 

would never grow and unfurl.

Loving Words a Tribute To My Mom On Her Birthday

Inspiration personified,
magic twinkles in her eyes,
with a beautiful smile & creative soul, 
she writes enchanting tales of dragons & trolls. 
Looking great in all she wears 
and always stylish with her hair, 
she brightens life with her multi-colored air.
 A doctor she could never be ....
 her excellent penmanship is much too neat. 
With others she is always friendly, 
she never sees a glass half empty. 
Original & generous, 
her heart so pure & full of trust. 
She's filled with faith & courageous strength.
 Energetic, outgoing & fun, 
she'll never leave a task undone. 
She's loyal with her honesty, 
kind and patient until the end. 
Not only a loving mother ....
.... She's the truest of all friends.

The Struggle Within

The Struggle Within
A lonely heart sits and waits
Seconds tick and time abates
Each day passes in s blink
All i do is sit and think
Of all the things i could have done
Away from life i tried to run
Knowing there is sunshine around the bend
Waiting for my soul to mend
Never giving up the hope
Fighting against the slippery slope
My footing stumbles
The mountain crumbles
Trying to knock me down
Each step i take toward the top
Something my path does block
Struggling to push on
Knowing that my heart is strong
I see the light up ahead
Less struggle to get out of bed
Faith around the corner lies
A new tomorrow, brighter skies
The goal i seek is now insight
Push the sadness from my mind
Dropping now the ties that bind
My heart is lighter
Inside my soul sparks a fire
Leaving behind the words of a liar
My life is my own
I’ve fought long and hard
Finally time for my journey to start

Angels are hiding 
Right in plain sight
fighting the demons and shadows of night 
giving us strength 
and holding our hand
raising our courage from up in the stand
always believing good hearts will prevail
guiding our souls  like wind in a sail
share joy when we're happy
and shed tears when we're sad
with friendly smiles
turn to good all the bad
we see them each day
precious moments we share
never once doubting
how much they care
sent from above
our family and friends
share quietly their love

Blameless

Everything that happens
Is not my fault
I cant control all things    
Sometimes things 
Just have to change     
Sometimes its 
Noones fault
And there's no
Assigning blame
Sometimes people
Grow appart 
But life will
Carry on                  
Just because im afraid
Is no reason to close my heart

Heart Song

Yell and scream 
And fight it out
Angry voices turn to shouts
Neither knows how the other feels
No thoughts or fears or dreams revealed
Both hurt so many times before
Each faith is shaken to the core
Looking at the world around
With each breath our spirits drown
On the pain of heartbreaks dwell
 Only Shadows of ourselves
Our hearts are shackled bound in chains
No twinkle in our eyes remains
	 Preparing for the worst it seems 
	It can’t hurt when you have no dreams
Used to have the future planned
Two kids, a dog, a mini-van
Never used to doubt these things
Now thoughts of these only sadness brings
Walls we’ve built around our hearts
Doing our best to dodge cupid’s dart
Let down too many times before
Our hearts now safe behind locked doors
Surviving life but never living
Each old scar so unforgiving
Often feeling all alone
Even though friends and family phone
 Wanting to protect them all 
Not take them down if you fall
Can’t succeed if we don’t try
Start practicing a battle cry
Push through the darkness into the light
Never willingly give up the fight
The past is done and gone
The future plays a mysterious song
So through the present we’ll carry on

The Way Life Should Be

who am i
who should i be
a fun lovin pirate
who rules the sea,
a gardener 
who plants baby trees
maybe a teacher
who nurtures the mind
or a race car driver
who can turn on a dime
a movie star actress
with my name up in lights
a tour guide speaker
bringing life to the sights
i could write stories
to make children laugh
a zoo keeper who bathes the giraffes
climb tall mountains 
and plant my flag
maybe a doctor
who'll fix broken legs
one thing's for certain
i have no doubt
whoever i am
and whatever i choose
as long as i'm me
i'll never lose

Healing of the Soul

some get a second chance.
 a shot at redemption. 
atone for the hurt they've caused. 
and mourn the loves they've lost.
 don't let yesterday decide what comes tomorrow
 know deep  within their hearts.
 no good can come from sorrow. 
the past unlike a slate 
can never be wiped clean. 
but life's not life worth living 
without hopes and dreams. 
being hurt is part of life, 
it makes us who we are. 
each jagged scar reminds us 
to stay true to who we are.

Robbers

The Robbers stole my life from me
one filled with pain and hate
broke down my defences
changed the hand of fate
with love and understanding
and never end of faith
never asked a question
just made me feel safe
when i tried to pull away
ashamed of what i was
just held me all the tighter
and i knew i wasn't judged
now in the light i see
the chains that bound were lies
and my Robbers truely
Angel in disguised

Anger

Anger
So much anger inside of you
At times i don’t know what to do
I watch you drink and then pass out
I just want to scream and shout
You can pretend all you want but i know you see
How all of this is affecting me
You yell and scream to prove a point
Never think of how i feel
You seem to think the louder you talk
The more i’ll understand
What you don’t see is it hurts me
That you think that i’m so dense
All the words you say to me
Would make just as much sence
If given in a Quieter tone
Instead of going on and on
You seem to think that life is bad
But look at all you have
You have a son who cares for you 
Even when he’s hurting too
You have a daughter 
Smart and bright
Who is willing to fight
Friends and Family who are in your life
I just don’t see how you call this strife
So many people don’t have what you have
I know that it’s hard
Sometimes you don’t want to carry on 
But all you have to do
Is look deep inside you
You are the maker of your own fate
Don’t let yourself be consumed by hate
Michael and I care for you
But we have to take care of us too
We want to help and make things right
We try and try with all our might 
But you just turn your head away
Not wanting to see the pain
Make your choice and make it soon
Before it is too late
Don’t just let life pass you by
Cause I’m telling you, it just might
One day you’ll wake up and we’ll be gone
Everything you hold dear
We won’t look back
Won’t feel bad
Just wipe a tear away
Because you do affect us in every way
