Ode To Baby Boy

Precious Little Baby,
Not Yet Born.
Passes Before He's
Given
A Chance To See
The World.
Mother's Heart
Torn Open,
The Many Tears
She Cries.
Yet She Has
Come To Terms
With The Loss Of
Baby Boy.
I'm Sure That Our
Lord Jesus
Has Taken This
Baby Boy,
For He Has Got
Good Reason
For Him To Not Be
Born.
I Hope That Baby
Boy
Knows He Will Be
Missed.
He'll Look Down From
Heaven
And See The Tears
His Family's Shed.
This Baby Boy, You
See, Will Never Have
The "Firsts".
The Many Firsts That
Come
With Each Year Of
His Life:
No First Baby Tears.
No First Baby Years.
No First Baby Steps.
No First Baby Words.
Goodbye My Precious
Nephew,
I Will Not Forget,
The Anticipation That
I Felt,
While Waiting For Your
Birth.
You're In A Better Place
Now.
And You'll See What
Heaven's Worth.
The Beauty Which
Surrounds You.
And The Overwhelming
Love.
The Good Lord Who
Created You,
Will Hold You In His Arms.
He'll Embrace You And
Protect You.
And Make Sure You're
Not Forgotten.

Called Away

I Got A Call The Other Day.
They Said That You Had
Passed Away.
I Didn't Want To Believe
It Was True.
It Made Me Very Very Blue.
I Said, To Myself, "How Could
This Be ?"
This Just Does Not Seem Real
To Me.
There Was So Much To Still
Work Out.
So Much, Yet, To Talk About.
But I Guess God Decided It
Was Your Time.
So He Took You To Live In
His Paradise.
Free From The Pain That You
Lived With.
Free From The Suffering That
Would Not End.
I Just Hope You Know That 
I Did Love You
And I'll Think Of You Each
Passing Day.
Your Death Has Caused Us
Many Tears,
But We'll Cherish Your Memory
Throughout The Coming years.
And I Know That, In Time, I'll
Come To Realize
That Your Passing Was Not A
Time To Cry.
And That God Needed Another
Angel With Him In The Sky.
And I Know That, For All Of Us,
You'll Never Be Far.
Because You'll Live On Forever
In All Of Our Hearts.

Rest In Peace Dad... We All Love You !!

Emotional Satisfaction

You Are The Seed To A
Growing Rose.
Baby, I Love You More
Than You Know.
As Each And Every Day
Goes By,
I Just Can't Get You Out
Of My Mind.
I Go Crazy Wondering,
Is This A Dream ?
Is It Really Possible That
You Could Love Me ?
I Feel So Safe With You
By My Side.
The Intense Feelings,
Inside Me, I Just Can't 
Hide.
Feeling Your Body Lay
Close To Mine,
Brings Me happiness 
Every Night.
I Feel The Softness Of 
Your Lips,
Every Time I Taste Your
Kiss.
You Know My Heart Will
Always Be Yours.
And I Will Love You
Forever More !

To My Friend

When Speaking Of Friends
I Think Of You.
For You Are The Greatest
Friend I Have.
You're Trustworthy, Caring,
And Always Around.
Someone To Talk To When
I'm Feeling Down.
To Listen, To Hear, And To
Understand.
A Shoulder To Cry On To
Stop The Tears.
When I Am Afraid, You Make
Things Alright.
A Comfort In Darkness, A 
Shelter In Rain.
To Teach Me The Lessons
All About Life.
To Stand By Me For Moral 
Support.
I'm Glad I Have A Friend
Like You.
One Who Is Kind, And Loving,
And True !

My Addiction

Everything About You
Is Irresistible.
Your Lips, Your Hands,
Your Body.
The Way That You 
Hold Me.
The Way That You
Kiss Me.
The Way That You Make
My Body React To Every
Touch.
You're Contagious.
You're Infectious.
And Yet I Can't Get
Enough Of You.
I Have To Have You 
Always.
Is It An Addiction ?
Or Just An Intense Sexual
Attraction ?
Whatever It Is...
I Just Can't... Stop...
Wanting You !

Dream Angel

You Are My Angel
In The Night
Guiding My Dreams
As They Take Flight.
Every Night As I Lie
Down,
I Pray To The Heavens 
That You'll Come Around.
Whenever I See You
I Always Know
That I Am Never Really
Alone.
For You, My Angel, My
Guiding Light,
Keep Watch And Protect
And Make Sure I'm Alright.
I Take Comfort In Knowing
You'll Always Be There.
And I Know You, My Angel,
Will Always Care.

Still Number 1

I Know Times Are Tough
And I Know It's Not Fair.
But, Baby, You'll Always
Know That I Care.
You Have Lovingly Given
Me A Brand New Start.
And Each Moment With You
Will Remain In My Heart.
But I Hope That The Times
When We Stumble And Fall
Won't Break Us In Two, If
Our Loves Means Anything
At All.
Always Remember I'll Love 
You Just As Much.
Because, Baby, You Will Still
Always Be Number One !!

Do You Ever ?

Do you ever wake up crying
In the middle of the night ?
Do you ever lay there thinking
These things... they're just not right ?
Do you ever wish you could go back
And erase the damage done ?
Do you ever wish that I was there
So you didn't feel so alone ?
Do you ever think about me
So much it hurts inside ?
Do you ever wonder how I am
Or if I'm still alive ?
Do you ever feel like there's a void
An empty space within your Heart ?
Do you ever feel like I'm the one
You just can't live without ?
Do you ever feel so incomplete... so
Lonely and despaired ?
Do you ever feel so broken up that you
Almost feel impaired ?
These are things I think about... 
Questions I must ask.
How long will it take for you to realize
That my home... was NOT where my
Heart was at ?

Trapped

I wonder why it is
That I cannot be free.
Because of all this anger
That is still inside of me.
I feel it is a prison
Deep within my soul.
The bars, they all surround
Me and the atmosphere is
Cold.
A tiny cell I'm trapped in
With no way to escape.
No windows to bring light
in... just darkness every day.
Darkness is the only friend
I've ever known.
The only friend I have here
Within these prison walls.
Sometimes it does get lonely,
But it never lets me down.
Darkness never leaves me...
So I never feel abandoned...
I never feel alone.
I wish there was a way, though,
That I could just get out.
Break free from all the anger...
All the loneliness and doubt.
Find my way to sunshine...
To the person I once was.
To the time when I was free...
When I was happy... when I was
Well !

Dear Dad

I look around this place,
But you're not here.
All I feel is your presence...
Your spirit... a certain type
Of "air".
That's how I know that you
Are still with me.
Still watching over me and
Making sure I'm alright.
You give me strength on
Those difficult days.
You are my sunshine when
The clouds are gray.
You are my rainbow that
Breaks through the rain.
Each color in the arch
Representing a promise, to
Me, that you had made.
Red is the symbol of a
Father's Love.
Orange to symbolize a
Father's trust.
Yellow is the color of constant
Strength.
Green would mean that you
Would always keep me safe.
Blue is symbolic because it was
Your promise to allow me to feel.
When you left this world... you
Told me to grieve... then heal.
Indigo is special because it
Symbolizes wisdom.
I will always remember each
Important lesson.
Finally... there's Violet... to remind
Me of time.
The time you had with your family,
Before you had to say Goodbye.
So, as you can see, I was listening
After all.
And I know you'll be here to pick
Me up,
If ever I should stumble and fall.
It's still very difficult knowing that
You're gone.
But in my Heart is a special place
Where your legacy will live on.
