I Thought About My Mom Today

I thought about my mom today
even though she passed away
She is in my thoughts every day
I miss the sound of her voice
and if I had my own choice
I'd like to hear her laugh again
hear her ask how iv'e been
And call me lovey on the phone
somedays Mom I feel so all alone
You always knew just when to call
I think I miss that most of all
nothing in my life is the same
In my dreams I call your name
In my heart your love I cannot fill
I love you Mom ,I always will

Sometimes

Sometimes I wish to feel the bliss
The tender lips of my first kiss
And sit again up in that tree
Where he put sweet lips to me
I would stand outside his gate
No matter how long I had to wait
Sometimes we'd just talk a while
Lie in the grass, I loved his smile
Heartaches, laughter,had them too
Losing boyfriends, feeling so blue
But oh the passion I felt inside
Up and down, like a coaster ride
Making love the very first time
Think I'll keep that memory mine
Now I am in a different place
Memories cannot replace
Those feelings of so long ago
When young, and I  did not know

The House On the Hill

There is a house up on a hill
people say ghosts roam it still
I went one night on a double dare
Just to see whats really up there
A creaky front door led me in
Into the darkness I did desend
A large staircase loomed ahead
As I climbed I was filled with dread
Then I heard a moaning sound
No one there as I looked around
I climbed those stairs to the top
What I saw made my heart stop
A lady was hanging in thin air
Bulging eyes and long red hair
Slowly she floated from above
Said I've been waiting for you love
My mouth so dry I could not yell
Down the stairs I ran like hell
Flew right out the front door
And I'm never goin back no more

Way Back When I Was Ten

I remember way back when

I was nine and you were ten

Had a crush on you since then

And as I grew I loved you more

My handsome boy who lived next door

You took me to my very first dance

And all the girls gave you a glance

We started dating me and you

So much in love were we two

One day you heard your country call

My Marine so handsome and so tall

They sent you off to Vietnam

Lord keep him safe from harm

You lost your life to keep us free

Now no more you no more we

I have grown old never loved again

Loved only you since I was ten

Mothers Growing Older

Another cycle in life unfolds
As we watch our mom grow old
Like a veil  that was lifted away
I saw how frail she looked today
Silver threads among her hair
She looks so fragile sitting there
I'd like to fold her in my arms
Keep her warm,safe from harm
By her love I am so beguiled
In my heart I am her child
With her love I've gotten far
She'll always be my shining star
And when her light begins to dim
A part of me will die within
Every day I sit with her a while
Just to listen to her,see her smile
So each day I say a prayer
I'm so thankful she is here

The Ghost of Love

One night while home all alone
and talking on the telephone
I heard a creaking on my stair
a man appeared out of nowhere
He floated to me near my bed
and these are the words he said
I'll do anything you want me too
If you let me make love to you
He kissed my lips, but his were cold
yet my arms around I did enfold
I felt no heart beat in his chest
the love he gave was the best
My hips were swaying to and fro
I did not want to let him go
Suddenly he just floated away
I hope he visits again one day

Ghost In the House

One night while sitting in my home
I thought I heard someone moan
Am I hearing things cause Im alone
But then a picture fell off my shelf
Just a coincidence,I told mysef
Now I hear footsteps outside my door
Then a  creaking on my bedroom floor
I see her now standing next to me
I close my eyes, no this cannot be
All dressed in red and quite dead
As she hovers next to my bed
I hear her whisper in my ear
Take my hand, come my dear
You really have nothing to fear
I let out a scream filled with fright
And then she vanished into the night.

Learning To Cope

Can I learn to cope when they say no hope

Will I put up a fight when things are not right

I'll learn to cope there is always hope

Everyday in a prayer I thank God I am here

This cancer brings strife but I had a good life

A disease of the  body cannot blame anybody

It attacks on its own leaves no one alone

A battle I will fight my friend till the very end

And I wont feel alone I am going home

Where loved ones wait inside heavens gate





Carolann Crowley   P.S I have been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer where 
the treatment would be unspeakable with no guarantees of a cure so I have 

decided against any intervention

Earl and Pearl Part 2



There is an old place on the outskirts of town
The rumor is old Earls ghost hangs around
Shot by Pearl as he was sneaking away
With another girl her name was faye
Shot them both,never seen since that day
Now Maude and Claude two people from town
Decided to go see if Earls ghost was around
So the two of them grabbed some cold beer
Said come on lets get the hell out of here
 Earl knew they were coming, so he'd wait
Listen for the sound of the old wooden gate
And he floated right up from his grave
With axe in his hand he gave them a wave
Maude fainted right there where she stood
Claude knew running would do him no good
Old Earls eyes were glaring bright red
One swing from the axe,Claude had no head
So if you dare come visit Earl here
Beware,Beware, he is waiting there

Beware the Takers

There are people who only take
And hurt all others in their wake
Beware of them for your own sake
They love no one its all a fake
False hearts,false lies they make
At your heart they will rake
Watch out for those who tell lies
Beware of all their alibis
Beware the ones who make you wait
Falling for them seals your fate
For they take love and then leave
And now all alone you will grieve
Keep your heart safe and true
Then one day true love will find you
