Deanna Floyd Poem
Small fish die
But don’t you cry
They leave behind their bones
To make a brand new home
Called a Coral Reef
Beautiful bright colors to behold
Such as pink, yellow, orange and gold
A place where many fish live except for the whales
Such as anemones, sponges and snails
Where they hide from the shark with great relief
A place they call home, Coral Reef

Deanna Floyd Poem
A beautiful attraction
Like the coral reef
A beautiful fall
Like the autumn leaf
Beautiful words
A beautiful sound
A great experience
All around
A palm tree
An ocean crashing
The hot summer sun
Summer bashing
Or what about winter
Snow upon the ground
There is only one place
All of this can be found
Rivers flowing
Across the rocks it streams
A wish upon a star
Palmetto dreams
Mountains in the distance
A scene of a sight
The sun in the trees
A beautiful light
All four seasons
Can be found here
South Carolina
A place I hold dear

Deanna Floyd Poem
There was a time when I was the one standing in that green grass
I was the little one running the bases, running fast
There was a time when I was the one fielding that ground ball, making the play
I was the one listening to every word that the coach would say
There was a time when I was the one standing on third, listening to the coach in the coach’s box
I was the one that had on that uniform wearing my ball pants high at the top of my socks
There was a time when I was in that dugout yelling those cheers
I was the one, when got hurt, would hold back those tears
There was a time when I was the one, playing the game, having fun
But now the roles are reversed and my new role has just begun
Now I’m the one wearing this coach’s shirt
I’m the one that must take care of you when you get hurt
Now I’m the one teaching and showing you
You’re the one listening like I used to do
Now I’m the one who watches the game from the other side of that chalk line
I can’t go in, I just have to watch it from the other side
Now I’m the one giving signals, telling you what to do
I’m the one, when you get down, that must encourage you
Now I’m one that must push you a little more
Making you play hard, giving you something to work for
Now I’m the one who must try to make this game fun
But remember I’m new at this, this coaching experience has just begun
And you’re so young, it’s important you get the right fundamentals now
It’s funny that’s it my job to show you how
But I guess I can do it, I do know the game
I just want you to love it as much as I did, just the same
It’s a passion that I have that I am now passing to you
And I hope that you put this information into great use
It’s something that I’ve worked for; put in a lot of time
But now I’m watching it from the other side

Deanna Floyd Poem
If no one can see
These tears one cries
Then they don’t matter
Yourself you told this lie
The day passes
Your painful emotions you hold in
Until darkness sets
And they resurface again
Your heart falls heavy
Like the branches of a weeping willow
As tears stream down your face
And softly land on your pillow
That empty feeling
At that point seems to grow and grow
As others sleep soundly
Your pain they’ll never know
You’re lonely and tired
You grow weary and weak
But the next day comes
And of your sorrow, you’ll never speak
That laugh in your soul
And the song in your heart
Has faded away
And from you it does part
That light in your eyes
No longer gleam
And the night grows colder
So it does seem
But for those that you cry for
And they do not know
Is it worth all the agony
If to them emotions you’ll never show
So if a tear falls
And no one can see
Does it have any importance
Or should you just let it be
I’m not really sure
But I have cried for many years
And nothing seems to change
All I’m left with are wasted tears

Deanna Floyd Poem
The rhythm of our heart
Is something that lies within
A rhythm that is placed there
From the moment life begins
Through the treacherous storm
The heart will carry on its way
And through the darkest night
Or the brightest day
Fighting, trembling
On the rugged path
Through mountains and valleys
Through demons wrath
Callous and scared
My words do come
Hated my many
And only loved by some
Yet the heart still beats
Through thick and thin
Guarded by a rib cage
Embedded within
Everyday it pumps
No matter the cost
Every year it goes
Every time, pieces lost
No matter the life
It beats on a different will
And one shall endure
Until the beats are still

Deanna Floyd Poem
For all the children who cross monster’s path
Beware of his cold-heart and his great wrath
Don’t look into his eyes; they’ll draw you in
And once you’re there, you can’t get out, you can’t win
It’ll be a long journey; a rough ride
No matter where you turn, there will be no where to hide
The storm clouds will rush over and cover your head
Thunder bolt memories shall haunt you ‘till your dead
This monster will be your friend to begin with, but his ways will turn
He will take your dreams, and up in smoke they’ll burn
All you can hope for is the safety of others who follow behind
You hope you can get your message out just in time
Tell them to look the other way; don’t step on his playing field
Don’t be a target, keep up your shield
Don’t let it be the monster’s fangs that haunt you in your sleep
Don’t let it be an untrustworthy heart that you will forever keep
Don’t let it be you who sits in his dungeon and waits to be released
Because all you are to him is a monstrous feast
Those tears you cry don’t matter, except to maybe you
And you’ll keep crying them because there is nothing else you can do
In the end it’s bloody; you’ll pay the ultimate sacrifice
Maybe he’ll be satisfied and let others live their lives

Deanna Floyd Poem
Greeting cards and gifts
Candy canes galore
Lights and stockings
The beautiful Christmas decor
A roaring fireplace
Families coming together as one
Children laughing
Taking in the holiday fun
Decorating the tree
And Christmas cookies baking
Times like these
Are memories in the making
The Christmas story read
Silent Night playing slow
And the quiet whisper
Of the falling snow
The hint of Christmas pine
And Christmas carolers singing
And the musical chime
Of Christmas bells ringing
A cop of hot coco
Mistletoe, poinsettias and holly
And also St. Nick
Makes this holiday season jolly
But it’s not about the gifts
Or the accessories that complete this season
It’s about our family and Lord
That gives Christmas a reason

Deanna Floyd Poem
A Christian and a solider, they both seem the same to me
Fighting for Jesus Christ, just trying to get others to see
A battle that we just can’t let the Devil win
We must stand on the front line and fight off all the sin
Just because an army of darkness is coming our way
We must hold up our shields of faith, plant our feet and stay
For the Lord is on our side, fighting with us too
And with His help, there is nothing in this world that we can’t do
But are you a solider out on that battlefield today
When you see a fellow Christian down, do you help him up or walk away
Are you fighting for everyone’s life; their salvation
We don’t have much time, it says so in Revelation
Is your armor nice and shiny, or is it tarnished and gray
Do you stand beside others no matter come what may
Do you flinch at gunpoint, or do you stay tall
Do you have a firm foundation, or do you fall
As Christians we have this privilege of going through this battle together
Drawing others to Him; getting to live forever
Just remember one day we’ll stand in front or our Master, our Lord
How many times did you draw YOUR sword

Deanna Floyd Poem
Today is a new day
How I long for the new
Wondering what life has in
store
A journey for me and you
The sun did set on yesterday
And awakened a new morn
The past behind us
Leaving aches and thorns
Now a warm summer sun
Beams glistening on a river bed
And peaceful dreams swarm my
mind
When I lay down my head
The stars sparkle brighter
The night air captures my soul
And in every captivating
moment
You play a roll
As I take a deep breath
Smell the lingering of your
scent
Imprinted in my memory
From time together we spent
The crickets began to chirp
Birds begin to sing
In a collaborative chorus
Overwhelming joy they bring
So what is this new path
Full of light, joy and spark
A guided way out
From a path of dark
Am I really here
Or is this a dream
Full of oceans and lakes
Rivers and streams
Not everything is perfect
This we all know
We all have a past
And have to reap what we sow
But a new path we walk
Though may not be perfect and
smooth
But I'll walk hand in hand
Down any path with you

Deanna Floyd Poem
Time and time again
We fall back to where we start
And time and time again
We pick up the pieces of our heart
Broken dreams
Trust at stake
Lies and misfortune
Vulnerability to take
The boat does sink
The plane goes down
The steel will bend
Your life flips upside down
Tosses and turns
The waves will crash
Thunder and lightening
The wind will bash
Worn the limbs
Battered the sail
This path I'm on
I've managed to fail
Rising up
Then back down again
Needle in hand
With a heart to mend
Battle after battle
Loss after loss
Why bother to fight
Does it matter the cost
The storm will come
Tormenting at its will
Maybe this battered soul will be here
Once the storm comes to a still
