No One Knows I'M Crying

No one knows I'm crying way deep down inside because I keep laughing and smiling so 
no one will know.
No one knows I'm crying just to belong, trying to make friends but keeping my distance 
never letting my guard down, never really trusting no one to come inside not wanting 
to be hurt again. 
No one knows I'm crying trying to find a place in my heart to forgive and forget past 
mistakes.
No one knows I crying wondering why you had to go and leave me alone.
No one knows I'm crying trying to find the inner peace I need to survive.

The Glass Tear

I have formed a glass tear in my heart for mama.
She fought a long battle with a disease that is as horrible as one can get.
Mama was the strength of our family raising her girls to be what whatever they wanted to be or 
do. Mama started forgetting little things, our names, where was this where is that.
Mama could not understand what was going on and neither did we, as things got worse, we 
reached out for help for her as well as ourselves. I formed a glass tear from crying trying to 
understand the pain of having to make a decision to place mama in a home where she would get 
the best help possible. We were her strength when there was no more strength left, mama 
passed away this year but I will always have a glass tear in my heart for her. Buried deep to 
shed hope for a cure some day.

Happiness Is

Happiness to me is baking cookies, seeing an old movie that you haven't seen in awhile. 
Walking on the beach and finding seashells.  Seeing a former school buddy.
Backyard barbecues, watching the sunset lying under an old shade tree. Walking to the 
mall and window shopping. My grandchildren coming for a visit. Listening to classic soul 
music, dancing with my grandson when his mom got married. Listening to the birds 
sing in the morning. walking in the rain and stepping in rain puddles. Listening to the 
distance sound of the train coming into the station.
Happiness is whatever you want or need.
