Dearest Nephew

Dearest nephew,
I wish you were here today
, to take your momma and daddys pain away,
 to help them get thru the toughest, 
the hardest of times, the heartaches,
 the pains.
 All they want is you back

We as a family try to help to understand
but the fears and the doubt,
 just doesn't seem to help them out. 
All we want is you. 

Dearest nephew, 
if you were here life 
would be so much better, 
everyone would be so happier with you
 by their side,
 you could meet you brothers and sissy 
, and everyone else misses you too! 
This is coming from your aunt 
I just wish you we're here
 to bring mommy and daddy back to normal once again
! I miss their smiling face! 

( Dedicated to my nephew matthew lynn) passed @ 5wks old who would be almost 5yrs old  now!

For Her

My friend passed away ??
Her visitation was today
I had only tears
Tomorrow will be sadden.more
Cancer took her away

All i can think of
Is about her now widowed husband
An two daughters without a mother
Her father is fatherless
Her mother is motherless

What about me?
Now im feeling full of sadness
Not like everyone else
Friendless is the word. 

She was such a great person
Great daughter
Great mother
Great wife
Most of all great friend. 

If you all could of met her you could see these things
That im writing are so true! Cancer took her from us! This past sunday

Little Boy Lost

A little boy,
that became,
lost deep,
within the woods.

While its below freezing,
winter brings,
lots of sorrow,
and worry.

People walking,
through stark of trees,
looking for limbs and leaves,
everyday, every night.

Having hope,
running on faith,
finding that little,
boy whose lost in the woods tonight.

In the end,
the discovery,
really was not right,
but at least he's not in the woods tonight.

Now your up,
in the heaven's gate,
while your looking down,
with that precious smiling face.

What Being a Mother Means To Me

Being a mother,
Means you hold,
The tiny fingers,
Count the smallest toes. 

Being a mother,
Means you hold,
Your baby tight,
When the scariest of things, 
When he is at freight.

Being a mother,
Means always holding,
Your son in the darkest of days,
Bring the happiest days to light.

Being a mother,
Even when she's the one who is hurting,
In the mists of the days,
In too many ways.

Being a mother,
Means putting a smile on your face,  
And just making it,
Through those days.

A Time Before

There was ,
A time before,
When you was with her,
A time you was with him.

A time before,
You was happy,
So was she,
Somewhere in the middle,

Things got crazy,
There was a time,
It got really bad,
You both forgot.

About your kids,
There happiness,
There saddens,
There madness.

Do you remember,
Any of those,
Times at all?

Bottle of Depression

I'm on this bottle, 
They call it depression,
Gotta face my inner battles,
I can't show my expression.
Started my regression,
To help stop my aggression,
Holding it back,
All these tears, 
Holding onto my fears.
With you bearing my witness,
I gotta straighten up,
Even if my demons,
Don't help me see it thru,
Keep on finding my inner youth,
Got too many problems to spare,
I wanna take,
That whole bottle down,
Thanks to my depression,
Family of addicts,
Whom are on my mind,
Mom spent her days,
In the bar smokin,drinking,
So we throw our hands up,
We kept thinkin,
She was never leavin,
Chasing this bottle ,
Once more,
Makes me feel good,
And somewhat numb,
Deep within my thoughts,
I'm drinkin,
Ended up slippin,
Hearts still breakin
Tellin myself don't be hang in,
Wanna pick up the phone,
Wanna pack up all my clothes,
My head is messed up,
My depression knocks me down,
Needing some balance,
All I wanna do is throw that bottle down,
Stuck in my battles,
I'm stuck in this bottle of depression!

Back When

Back when I was young,
Life was always,
So confusing,
But that is life is like back when I was ten.

Back when,
I love being,
Just a little kid,
Back then that's life when I was ten.

Back then,
I loved my siblings,
I loved my grandmothers,
Even loved my father.

Back when I was ten,
I missed having,
My mother,
Oh! So around.

You see these are the things what life was like back when I was ten.

Loving You and Wanting Him

I've got a secret,
That I so need,
To tell,
Its my confession.

I've been with you,
So many different ways,
Your the one, 
I need to let know.

I'm in love with you,
Your the man,
Whom I thought you to be,
The greatest love.

I want him,
But I love you,
I can't think of nothing less,
But I wanna get out of this mess.

My heart tells me to stay,
My head is pointing,
In the other direction,
My eyes with yours,

My heart still wants you,
My mind is telling me,
I need him,
Within my arms. 

I don't know,
How to forget,
Loving you,
Wanting him.

My heart,
My head,
My body,
My soul,
Doesn't know what to do.

Sorry Momma

So sorry momma,
So sorry daddy, 
I know addiction,
Wasn't your choice.

I know you never ment,
To hurt us,
But you left us,
Broken and confused,
Tormented and abused. 

As an adult, 
We each have our own,
Demons left to fight,
We each have depression, 
Left with biploar and aggression. 

Some of us,
Have children,
Some of us don't,
At least at the end of the day,
We won't make the choices you made.

Through It All

I got a lot,
Going thru me,
This past year,
Made me look,
At things so,
Much clearly! 

You was thinkin,
But I ain't forgot,
About all the,
Hell you had,
Put me thru.

But just so,
You know,
I've thrown my hands up,
Thanked God.

For pushing me thru it all,
Helping me forgetting it all,
Knowing I can keep forgiving thru it all,
Helping me to remind myself to keep loving thru the storms,
Most of all for keeping my head up and keep standing tall!!
