My Heart Goes Out To You

I remember when you once loved me
And showed me that you care
We only had a short time together 
Though my heartstrings have a permanent tear

Your absence was heartbreaking 
Both our daughter and I missed you very much
I raised her the best I could
She added such a beautiful touch

Now that we are all older
I still feel that familiar crush
And let you know again 
That I miss you very much

I Wish I Could Leave

I dreamed about the snow-topped
Pines of Michigan 
Wishing I Could Go Back
And See Them Again

I dreamed about the voluminous
Mountains of California 
Wishing I could go Back
And take someone out to Dinner

I dreamed about the scenic
Seascapes from Mexico 
Wishing I could go Back
And have one of their native tacos


I dreamed about cosmopolitan 
Toronto in Canada
Wishing I Could go Back
And view a city, it seems, without a flaw

I dreamed about 
A better tomorrow 
Wishing I could go forward 
And travel instead of being in sorrow

Love Yourself and Always Stay Positive

Love Yourself and Always Stay Positive 
For you have to start being your best friend 
Before You Can Be true to Any Others 
It'll be this way til the very end

Be accepting of yourself, it's true
And feel your self-esteem rise, it will make you feel brand new
Always be open to the warm feelings people give you
Only a few special people will be able to do to you what they do

Sometimes bad situations get in the way
But alot of positive things will happen, just pray
And keep these positive reminders in your head
That the road looks good ahead.

Springtime, It's Springtime

Springtime, it's springtime 
Winter has taken a leave of absence 
Now it's time for flower to make their grand entrance
Leaving us awestruck and inspired

The mild breezes drift in through the shades
Almost knocking over the vase last year in pottery class I made
And the weatherman predicts unseasonably rainy weather 
I start working out because soon summer will come and I want to feel light as a feather

A unique black squirrel climbs up a tree full of lime green buds
I put away my worn out, dull sweaters
For a nice outfit of cotton duds

Today the rays of sun stay brighter longer
Don't worry, I tell myself, for no longer do I have to feel somber
At the metropolitan parks nearby
The snow shovelers have to say goodbye 

Springtime, it's springtime 
We can't wait to welcome you again
But for now I'd like to take a walk 
With my new best friend

Waves

Waves
   In and Out
On the Shore
   Until you can see them no more

White caps
   Touch my toes
As I dodge the crabs that waddle by
And all at once I catch the football
   My friend throws 

Is the sun wanting to be
   Part of the fun
Yes, the love birds say
   We promise you can take a rest when the sunset is done 

Hop into the VW 
   Onto a cookout at the campground we know
Dreading the day we have to part
   With bikinis and trunks, yes it will start to snow

Waves
   In and out
On the shore
   Thank you for all your glamour and galore

Michelle

Michelle has been a great friend 
Since I moved to NYC
There's been domestic violence in my life
From people that for some reason want to hurt me

We haven't been able to get together 
Because there is always someone following me
And I always tell her I want to leave NYC

But apart from that
Michelle is from Belize and makes really great jerk chicken 
She's really pretty and petite and I admire her beauty

I hope Michelle is doing ok
And that she will always be happy
Hopefully she's still cooking up a storm
And isn't like me, feeling downhearted and crappy

Nighttime

It's at night that I feel at best
Knowing that I can lay down and finally rest

That's the time when the stars come out
There's one winking at me, I must have some serious clout

The moon watches over the earth 
When Dracula prowls, possibly he left blood on your hearth

The kids all snicker because their favorite TV show comes on
My hubby and I watch our favorite rom-com

Restaurants are filled as chefs are preparing 
Food from around the world if you are daring

Teens take off for their first date
Hoping they have enough money and the kiss is first rate

The lights all shine from the skyscrapers in NYC 
Morning will come soon, it's almost over, what a pity.

What I've Come to Want

I want to go to a place 
Where people are happy to see me
I want to glide through things
And feel there is romance there where people want to get diamond rings
I want to be in a place 
Where people care about each other 
Where they believe in their brothers and sisters 
And fathers and mothers 
I want to be in a place where they have picnics and BBQs
And they don't hurt people and let them know gently what and 
What not to do
I want to be in a place where jobs are plentiful 
And you have the opportunity to teach your 
Full potential 
I want to be in a place where people reach out kindly 
And you feel you have a little bit of you can pursue your dreams in a fashion that's timely

I feel that this is something I've seen in a lot of places
And that it's a beautiful dream that comes to reality in a lot
of cases
Take a moment and understand what you love in life
And hopefully you will find it without a lot of strife!
