How,When,Where and Why?

I was  the young age of 18 when i became a mother,no way of knowing what the 
future is to hold.A cheerleader to a mommy overnight,A toddler to a small child,brownies  to 
girlscout.A small child to a pre-teen,bike with a basket to skating with boys.Bench warmer to 
star player.Honor roll to Meth Production,Meth to jail.Blankets,bottles and 
crib,handcuffs,mugshots and bail.This is a mothers story,
This is my story....

Unbreakable Bond

Four boys and one girl thats what grandma and grandpa brought into this world.                    
When they were small,they would share one shinny red trike,as they grew older                 
they fought for a turn to ride the big kids bike.                                                                
Clothes and toys were all passed down from hand to hand,their stomaches were                    
filled with what they grew in the garden on their family owned land.                                     
At bedtime you would always hear the whispers of a story going from ear to ear,                 
they were never about much,but they wasn't for grandma and grandpa to hear.                  
The  four boys would aways guard and protect their one and only sister,                            
each of them took her under his wing.                                                                             
One sunday morning our preacher asked the young girl,do you ever wished the                    
boys were girls?                                                                                                            
She replied,no sir,i wouldn't change a thing.                                                                     
The bond that these siblings share is like nothing on earth.                                                 
It last untill death and starts at birth....

Going Home

Late one night the lord took my brother away,for a very short time i wondered just where my 
brother was going to stay.Then i came to realize the lord had caalled him home,for no longer 
on earth would he have to roam.
For thirty one years in circles he went,the lord stopped the circles with the angels he sent.I 
pray to see Rick and its very hard to wait,but this i know when the lord calls me home,my 
brother will be standing at the gait.

Late One Afternoon

It happened late one afternoon.A wink of an eye,a smile on a face,a sweaty palm,a shaky 
hand,it happened late one afternoon.A walk in the park,dinner for two,the sharing of one 
fork,a pallet on the floor,it happened late one afternoon.Holding hands in public,a kiss for no 
reason a hug because your here,a midday back rub,it happened late one afternoon.What 
happened you ask?I'll tell you my friend , what happened late one afternoon,its love,i fell in 
love late one afternoon.

The Baby's Wish

Siblings:In my family there was just us three,an older brother, a middle sister and little ole 
me.Our futures were determined by good ole mom and dad,As long as we done what we was 
told nobody would get mad.The oldest,my brother, he was the brain.The middle child,my 
sister would take away all the pain.Now being the baby i was to know right from wrong and 
good from bad,all this taught to me by my brothet and sis.I didn't,i wouldnt always listen,oh 
those days i do miss.This baby wishes she could turn back time.I dont know to where,but i do 
know to when.I will listen this time...

In God I Trust

Trust,where and when can you find it?I know it dont come easy and you cant buy it.Trust can 
be lost in less than a minute,and may take years to gain.Once you have gave or received 
trust,you wont feel the same.If you are lucky enoughin a lifetime  to experience real and true 
trust,hold on to it tight.Always know that trust isn't free and you will not earn it overnight.
