Ashley Kloos Poem
Sitting here not wanting to run
from eyes that shine like a copper sun.
All that you say and do seems right
Your happiness- it shines so bright.
You can feel it as do I.
Just as an ocean’s waves,
how we feel can only ebb and flow
but it never really goes-
completely away you soon must go.
We have eternity yes I know.
There doesn’t have to be any goodbyes you say
but in the end I keep telling myself this is the way.
The way for me to move on while we’re apart,
for me to remember all the help you’ve been,
as well as a wonderful friend.
But still a goodbye won’t heal my heart.
I know it’s silly but yes it’s true,
I can’t imagine a day of my life without you there,
Showing just how much you care.
Never caring what I look like or wear
Because to you I always looked beautiful.
But not just on the outside, you saw my soul
and knew how to make me whole
and then persued your goal.
That day in ninth grade is a day I’ll never forget.
It changed my life and has given me,
a chance to see how much I am loved
by a kind and gracious God from up above.
You changed my life and now don’t you see
Why it’s so hard for me?
Hard for me to let you go after all the time-
Time that we spent together
and that felt like it would go forever.
You said I meant so much to you
and you knew you just had to hand me that book.
then all it took was one look
for me to see all you believed was true!
Which is why now I will let you go trusting,
trusting that in time God will make everything fine.
That somehow, someday
You’ll be sent my way.
And hopefully if and when he does,
I will be worthy of someone as wonderful and kind as you.
I don’t know what else to say but forever and always
I love you.
I truly do.

Ashley Kloos Poem
There you are standing so tall
yet when I’m next to you I don’t feel small.
I am uplifted strengthened and edified
even though in life I’m tried.
Through the doors I walk
and with my Heavenly Father I talk.
Inside your walls the veil’s so thin
and I feel the Holy Spirit enter in.
Families can be together forever
and for me it’s an eternal endeavor.
I’m going there someday.
Then, a worthy Priest holder will look across and say-
with you I’ll always stay.
Together we won’t ever stray
from the path leading to Celestial Glory
and years from now we can tell our children this story
because we were married in God’s Holy Temple.

Ashley Kloos Poem
I’m beautiful,
but I see the little imperfections no one else seems to notice.
I’m smart,
and yet I know sometimes I could do better.
I’m happy,
but I do complain a lot sometimes…
This is me.
I love God
and yet I sin.
I have a lot of friends
yet at times I feel lonely.
I forgive others
but find it hard to forgive myself even when I should.
This is me.
I like nice things,
but money isn’t everything to me.
I like to be alone,
but I love being around my friends more.
I am open minded about all religions,
but I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
This is me.
Love me, like me, hate me.
This is me.

Ashley Kloos Poem
People blurred and passed us by,
but that day we stopped to say hi.
I remember like it was yesterday,
that you couldn’t remember my name
nor could I remember yours,
and we were both like “No way!”
All those trips for snacks at the MC
once we were free,
free from the class of botany.
How much fun I had with you!
Even now, though we’re far away
we still have so much to say.
Our conversations are still as good as they were then.
I don’t know what else to say,
but I’m glad in Rexburg you’ll stay
So next time I’m there I’ll say “hey!”
What a good friend you’ve turned out to be.
What a great friend you are to me.

Ashley Kloos Poem
Ghosts from my past still haunt.
They smirk, smile and taunt.
The choices I made at the time seemed so right
but I wonder now that I’ve seen the light.
The strings tug on my heart threatening to rip it apart.
Our relationship was chaos from the start.
If it wasn’t you it was me
Why can’t Satan just let us be!
Oh how I want to be free!
Free from the pain and this heartache.
I feel with every fiber of my being we are meant to be
And yet whenever there’s trouble one of us will flee?
I know neither of us meant to hurt each other
and yet we’ve both hurt one another.
You have caused me so much pain
to the point that it’s insane
but I still want to be with you.
My soul you did renew.
Do you still want to be with me as well?
Do I still make your heart swell-
with those butterflies that you used to tell me about?
Or are you suddenly on another route?
I still think we are perfect for each other.
The connection we both felt neither of us could smother
and together I think we could discover
something absolutely amazing and wonderful.
Last time you said it was my first move
but now I don’t approve.
This time it would be your move first.
because now the roles are reversed.
“I’ll give everything for us but I won’t give up”.
It’s time for a close-up.
Where are we headed?
This is the situation I dreaded.
Please remember all those times we’ve shared.
I know you did what you did because you cared
but this time I’m really scared…
Scared that we will never be together again and I am unprepared.
No other time in my life has ever compared.
I love you like I never dared to before.

Ashley Kloos Poem
Whisper, whisper,whisper.
So many voices,
calmly at first
and then they begin to get louder and louder…
Voices here.
Voices there.
Voices,voices everywhere!
Where is the mute button?
Where are the two voices I want to hear above them all?
Where are the voices that matter most to me?
The voices that always set me free?
They are my voice and that of my Heavenly Father above.
No matter how desperate and low I feel I know He’s here.
So when will I be able to hear Him?
Please, help me fade out these other voices and turn yours up.
I could sure use you right now with all these other-voices.
