Anne Hessler Poem
I miss the times we used to share
When I was young, you were always there
I miss your smile, I miss your laugh
The jokes you'd play on my behalf
I miss you each and every day
I miss the way we used to play
I miss the hugs, I miss your love
The way you raised me high above
I miss the walks we used to take
The way you laughed at my mistakes
I miss the drives, you drove so wild
I miss the time I was a child
I miss your pancakes on Sunday mornings
The games you'd create when it was pouring
I miss the fights when it would snow
I hate it that you chose to go
I wish i could talk to you every day
I wish I knew what words to say
I wish I was still that little girl
The girl that seemed like your whole world
Yet I still keep you in my heart
No matter how long we are apart
But I'm older now and I must learn
That love is something felt not heard

Anne Hessler Poem
12 long years over so fast
Time long gone we can't go back
School is done, we're on our way
The rest of our lives start today
Doors are opening its our time now
To choose our futures, to make the world bow
We are the world, we are the future
It's our time to shine, no one can stop us now
Corous. We're graduates (graduates)
our lives just beginning
The future is now
And it's ours for the taking
We're graduates (graduates)
The keys in our hand
Unlock any door
On our own feet we stand
Our paths undecided we work as a team
Dodge any obstacle dream any dream
We fought the battle, won the war
Now on stage together sounds our victory roar
Friends and enemies gathered together
To head towards new beginnings, the star of forever
We're brave, we're strong were proud and true
We can do anything we set our minds to
Corous
We're graduates (graduates) memories we hold dear
Of the guidance of teachers the reason we're here
We're graduates (graduates) taking each stride as one
As we head toward a future that has only begun
We're graduates (graduates)
The key in our hand
We're graduates (graduates)
United we stand

Anne Hessler Poem
She tied my shoes
when I was young
she was there with me
before my life had even begun
he smile was the first thing
that I ever saw
she was there for my first steps
her face filled with awe
she held me when I cried
and sometimes she'd cry too
she was the person that I went to
whenever I felt blue
now she'll watch me walk
across the stage to leave
with a smile so full of joy
you'd have to see it to believe
she'll smile as she hugs me
fighting back some tears
as memories flood her mind
recalling all past years
then she'll let me go
all too soon for me
sending me to my future
to my destiny

Anne Hessler Poem
snow falls lightly
from the sky up above
soflty falling down
like the feather of a dove
each snow flake is different
like each one of us
falling to the ground
like snow often does
it's steals away breath
this brilliant thing
so pure and refreshing
like the songs angels sing
they sing for remembrance
of God and his sun
throwing down these white tokens
to say winter has begun
white is for birth
the birth of baby christ
white is for hope
that things are alright
each flake that falls
from the sky up above
is a gift from God
telling us we are loved

Anne Hessler Poem
It is here I am safe
It is here that I know
but over the bridge
Is where I must go
The bridge that gives passage
over quick muddy water
though why I say that
I don't know why I bother
over the bridge
is a tall oak tree
and standing beneath it
is someone waving at me
crossing the bridge
I see a man standing there
with paint splatered pants
and a head of white hair
looking closer I see
exactly who's there
I see it's my papa
and I can't help but stare
I run right toward him
and give him a hug
I ask how he got here
his response is a shrug
it's then I remember
the fact that he'd died
it's then I remember
the tears that i'd cried
I ask how it felt
when he had died
he then looks at me
and he promptly replied
he calmed all my fears
about what lies boyond
then he looks up
because the suns almost gone
he says I must go
before the sun sets
but I don't want to leave
I'm not quite ready yet
he gives me a hug
before I go
then tells me I can't share
the things I now know
I give a quick nod
looking up at the sky
I don't understand
but I don't have time to ask why
turning around
I try not to cry
I just cross the bridge
when the sun leaves the sky
I turn back to look
one last time at the tree
but my papa is gone
as was meant to be

a winter sun rise
barren trees aglow with frost
a blanket of snow
alit like fire from the sun
cover all that once was green

Anne Hessler Poem
It's Insanity
I'm not ready
how could they think I was
I'm not ready for the world
to leave it all behind just cause
I'm not ready to move on
to tell all I love good bye
I'm not ready to graduate
will someone tell me why?
why does it have to end
especially so soon
I'm to young to be on my own
please tell me what to do
18 is not that old at all
to grow up and be an adult
to have a job and pay my bills
I know nothing of that stuff
please somebody help me
there has to be a way
school is all I've ever known
I won't be ready on graduation day

Anne Hessler Poem
Tortured souls breaking free
outward bound into the night
tortured souls set me free
when you find your destiny
everything will be alright
tortured souls breaking free
let us go now finally
take this chance to set things right
tortured souls set me free
calm your fears and stay with me
gathering the strength to fight
tortured souls breaking free
holding on to what you see
looking into dawns first light
tortured souls set me free
why can't you just let me be
stay out of my wavered sight
tortured souls breaking free
tortured souls set me free

Anne Hessler Poem
A little baby girl
not even one year old
without her daddies arms
the nights felt very cold
daddy I cant breath
so to the hospital they go
mommy held me down
where was my daddy though?
16 years had gone
my dad was mostly there
but that morning he left
I said I didn't care
for two years I barely saw him
just talked to him now and then
but still I believed in him
and I'll choose to believe again
My graduation came
he promised me he'd come
but when I walked across the stage
I only saw my mom
Why weren't you there daddy?
I still believe in you
I love you daddy and always will
please just show you love me too

Anne Hessler Poem
When the moon is high
and the night is cold
hold me close
don't let me go
When the wind whispers
through the autumn trees
and the meadows grass
holds mysteries
When the clouds come in
blocking out the light
and even the hand near your face
is out of your sight
Hold me close
near the fires glow
hold me close
Don't let me go
The night will end
and the sun will show
but at least till then
Don't let me go
