Chandelle Bird-Janiga Poem
In a world so cold I close my eyes
For only an angel hears my cries
This life of mine once rained upon
I'll stand alone with time that's gone
In a world so cold some fail to see
The pain inside not only you but me
A whisper of faith strolls in with light
It's all okay and not a lonely night
In a world so cold it's not just a war
Some have been beaten down to the core
As I bow my head and pray this time
I'll ask once more to let them shine
In a world so cold I'll rise above
Life means more with my kids I love
I am not lonely you’ve got it wrong
With all I’ve been through it made me strong
In a world so cold I’ll stand up tall
Beyond the stars I’ll climb not fall
No tears of pain only smiles and destinations
No longer alone I’m here with inspirations
In a world so cold we fight to win
But some cross that line we see as thin
If time stood still for just a short time
I’d still stand tall for this is my day to shine

Chandelle Bird-Janiga Poem
I have faith in everything I do, and I had hopes for me, and you.
I have wishes that may never come true, and I had dreams of something new.
Times have changed and so have I, maybe its best we say goodbye.
Although I love you this just isn’t fair, with all that has happened it’s so hard to see you care.
I may seem uneasy, and maybe even sad, I just can’t help but wonder why did it get this bad?
You rarely say you love me, which hurts me most of all, and it doesn't seem to matter, when and if I fall.
You pushed me away, which wasn’t surprising but you did it in spite, without realizing.
I tried to make it work, but it failed just as fast, and things like I love you never seemed to last.
I have prayed for happiness, love and joy, but instead I only feel like your little toy.
The pain I feel will never die, for you have fed me your final lie.
Instead of dreaming for the impossible, I must believe I am unstoppable.
I am not just a pretty face I am the one you should’ve embraced.
The moment has come and this is done, for only time can heal this lonely one.

Chandelle Bird-Janiga Poem
A heart of gold once turned to stone,
Her love so deep yet she sits alone.
Alone in her thoughts there’s still a fear,
Fear of rejection as she sheds a tear.
She lays awake most of the night,
It’s all her emotions she holds tight.
Sharing them means being real,
Her heart is not an easy steal.
She gave her heart few times before,
Now she’s scared to open that door.
At times like this she just asks why,
Is this the way to say goodbye?
Her love for him is deep and true,
Her love so strong it feels so new.
A new emotion she just can’t hide,
She feels it all from deep inside.
She’s longed for a lover not just a friend,
This is something she doesn’t want to end.

Chandelle Bird-Janiga Poem
Heaven is a place the angels call home,
And here on earth lost souls still roam.
There’s still a light that shines from above,
But sometimes they stay mostly out of love.
I never understood what death really meant,
Until angels were taken and heaven is where they went.
I heard once before when one is laid to rest,
That it’s just God’s wish he seems to take the best.

Chandelle Bird-Janiga Poem
Reminiscing memories in the rain,
She smiles through all the pain.
She remembers the good, forgets all the bad
Nothing again can ever make her sad.
She sees the road she travels,
It’s simply sand & gravel.
It’s long and it’s twisted,
There’s more to life that’s gifted.
It’s a silent sound the angel sings.
As she stands to spread her wings,
She flies to new heights,
She soars through the nights.
It’s like a dream she had before,
It’s the opportunity an open door.
Like an eagle in the sky,
She’ll continue her journey and fly.

Chandelle Bird-Janiga Poem
I had a dream of you last night and in my dream you held me tight.
I felt the warmth of the breaths you took and it was as if we were in a love story book.
I could hear the sound of your tender voice and I heard your whispers as a lover’s choice.
I hope I’m not wrong and you feel it too, the warmth and sweet kindness and of course something new.
I never imagined that this would take place, but I found it quite satisfying just the look on your face.
The look in your eyes gave you away and I knew at that moment you wanted to stay.
I am flattered yet breathless to the touch of your hand and there’s nothing I want more than you to know where you stand.
I am faced with a decision that I’d rather not make for fear I am making the biggest mistake.
I wonder about the future and how things will be, or if this is just something like a sweet fantasy.
More questions without answers that only time will tell, but you were right there the moment I fell.
This makes it much harder for me to decide, for a part of me has already died.
I longed for attention and I waited for love, but this is something I could’ve only dreamed of.
I opened my eyes from what I had dreamed, but then I remembered it was just as it seemed.

Chandelle Bird-Janiga Poem
As a child of God, I awoke one day,
The pain & fear had gone away.
With tears of joy running down my cheek,
No the devil won't win I must defeat.
I had a spiritual encounter with our God up high.
Took an oath to warn about our Lord Jesus Christ.
He's coming back for us his chosen ones.
This is the end of times yeah the devil is done.
As a child of God I'm on my way,
Around the world to preach about the God who saves.
I've been saved by grace no I cannot lie.
There's a love I feel I can't deny.
I vowed to preach the gospel everywhere I go.
Come rain or shine and seasons of snow.
Repent for your sins while you still have time.
For evil will corrupt your life and mind.
As a child of God let your will be done,
Do your work through me our precious Holy one.
Salvation comes from the Lord above.
While demons flee from the God of love.
You have to mean what you say and turn from sin.
Cause when you're half way in the devil still wins.

Chandelle Bird-Janiga Poem
There are some boys, who stole my heart quite some time ago.
I ‘ve watched them learn so many things, such a joy to watch them grow.
They’ve seen some things they shouldn’t have and been through so much more.
It’s hard to say how they feel inside, like trying to open a barricaded door.
I’ve done some things they may not remember but I still feel the pain.
With all the pain I shared with loved ones, they didn’t deserve my rain.
I woke one morning and saw the light shining down on me.
I couldn’t help but wonder how long before I was free.
Free from evil, so much I had sinned.
So much I felt like I was dying within.
It’s been so long since that time back then.
I never want it to happen again.
Today I sit and remember the days.
Thankful they’ve simply parted their ways.
I can’t believe some of the things I’ve done.
I did it in spite just to have fun.
Now it all seems clear to me, the fun I had was just a game.
It was like Russian roulette with my life, without a gun it was still the same.
The mistakes I’ve made they helped me to learn.
I’ve become much stronger to have the life I yearn.

Chandelle Bird-Janiga Poem
Many years ago two young people became a couple.
Puppy love is all it was for nothing lasts forever.
They dated a while till all fell apart and distance became so far.
Through their own separate ways they learned how to live but always a thought on the mind.
Through troubles and trials and many life lessons it led them to each other again.
Today it’s all new like the friendship had blossomed with each and every day.
No time was too long nor distance too far, the friendship remained the same.
A friend for life, I have a few but some can never replace.
The simple thought of hearing your jokes made everything so clear.
It’s the friendship I value, the friendship I need and the friendship I hold so dear.
Reminiscing the past brings many smiles and laughs but still a sadness lies beneath.
Beneath it all was a broken child still trying to find her way.
He went away for quite some time and waiting was no option.
For this was not the dream she had for all it did was break her
A sudden miracle, an instant change for she was about to become a mother.
From teen to mother there was still so much to learn.
Life was changing with the joys of her first child.
Still she gave her all with troubles along the way she made it through.
Sometime later along came baby number two.
She lived for her boys without the cares of the past.
Her life continues, her dreams are big and nothing will stand in the way.

Chandelle Bird-Janiga Poem
I made a wish upon a star and I wished to be where ever you are.
I had a dream of you last night but woke only to see the early morning light.
I wonder if you think of me or if this is just my fantasy.
I find it hard not to feel for you and I wonder if maybe you feel it too.
My heart skips a beat when I look in your eyes and my feelings for you come by surprise.
I can’t explain why I feel this way but I know I would still like to see you one day.
As hard as I try not to think of you, it just happens to be one of the things I do.
Thinking of you and thinking of me, wondering where our lives could be.
I felt for you long ago that day, it’s weird to me I still feel that way.
Who would’ve thought I could cry real tears then end up seeing you after all these years?
I’ve thought about you from time to time but never thought my world would change at the drop of a dime.
I hoped one day to see you, but never imagined it could be us two.
Here we share our deepest thoughts remembering the loves we lost.
If losing one meant finding me, would you give it a chance to see where we could be?
The future is my destiny, for that is where I want to be.
