Your lifeless body laying there, the silence was dark
The chill grew colder, the time passed by
The wait was over, it was time for goodbye
We surrounded your bedside, we prayed and sang
I know you heard us, and still to this day
The silence is now broken but the chill is still cold
Well be ok, I'm sure you know

I hope your watching over me each and everyday because I know your still with me in some way
I look to the sky and I know your still there...

You will always be my "Papa Bear."

I don’t claim to be perfect
I don’t claim to always be right
I claim to be a human
And making mistakes is absolutely alright

Trying to figure out life is like finishing a thousand piece puzzle... there is always a missing piece...

I starve for the opportunity to happen
I thirst for the right time
I smell the change in the future
I hear the difference in our lives
I reach for our goals
I pray for us to embark on a new journey
In time, things will change, our hearts will be filled, and our journeys will begin anew
We just have to wait for the right time, but I pray for it to happen soon

Two love birds sit high on the cable
I named them Dale and Harold
After my dad, and my husbands dad
Who have both passed on
But continue to give us signs,
Protecting us, even though they are gone
Never look for signs, they will come to you
When you least expect them, or when feeling blue
A cardinal, a penny, a song, a wink...
Whatever you can them, their there in a blink
Two love birds sit high on a cable
I named them Dale and Harold.....

The good
The bad
The times we had
The ups
The downs
The struggle is real
The support
The critics
The simple joys
All because one site
Ties us together
As we pour our hearts out
Filling up the blank pages
Let’s continue this amazing journey
We have all created together

Hello Poetry!

I’m at the end of my rope
It’s slipping away
Holding on tight
Losing grip
Hands all torn up
Blood dripping down my arms
Trying to ease the pain
Nothing is helping it go away
Do I just let go
See what happens
Maybe I will fall
Or maybe I will
Rise above it all
Don’t ever give up
Even if your at the end of your rope
Maybe something better is there
Just gotta have hope
Look at every situation
As a challenge of your strength
You have so much more to give
Each day you awake
Is the start of a blank page...

The fear of talking about something
You don’t want to talk about
But yet also need to talk about
How do you cope?

Today I took a minute
I stood outside
With the sun blinding my eyes
I gathered my thoughts
Took a deep breath
Reminding myself that I’m truly blessed

Crystal clear yet broken spiderwebs can still reveal your path in where your meant to go and what your meant to do...

Look closely and you will see
Deep within the cracked fragments
Which path that you may lead
Taking you on a different journey
Into the unknown of knowing exactly
Where your meant to be....

Keeping it at bay
Like a dormant volcano
Knowing any second
It could erupt causing a mess
Reeking chaos and distress
Like a burning fire smoldering
Hoping for the best

One dream
Can make
Perfect sense
Putting everything
Into perspective
Knowing exactly
Why something’s
Are just
Meant to
Be

Distance echos
Coming from the woods
As leaves change colors
Falling gracefully to the ground
Piling up
One by one
Hidden by chill in the air
Fall has arrived
Now the trees will all be bare
As distance echos linger
From inside the woods
Without a single care

Someday, you will find yourself
Under the rubble of all that’s left from the exploded emotions you’ve endured throughout your years
But, always remember, without the journey you’ve been on, you wouldn’t be the warrior you are today
Those different layers of life, have showed you the way…

Like the oceans waves you will move
With lots of joy that is brought to you

Climb the ladder all the way to the top, don't ever look back because all you have to go is up

BOO!

Happy Halloween!!!!

Ghosts
And
Ghouls
And
Witches
And
Pumpkins
And
Scary
And
Frightening
And
Candy
Oh the candy
Can’t forget about the candy....

BOO!
BOO!
BOO!


Happy Halloween!!!!!!

There's a time
And a place
For everything
The time
And place
Is now...

She is fire
But she’s also like rain
Fierce and electric
Calm and heavy
Unaware of her powers
Sudden downpours engage
Rejuvenating the fire
That once was extinguished away

Walking barefoot through the sand
Pulling me closer, holding my hand
As the sun sets for the night
You whisper to me
“I love you infinitely with all my might”
Capturing the beauty and essence of our love
Drawing a heart on the sand
I’m so glad I found you
I married my best friend...

Why do tears come at the most inopportune times....
....oh wait, that’s your loved ones hugging you from above...

Tick tock
Tick tock
Watch the hands
Go round the clock
Minutes fade
Hours pass by
Don’t take a moment for granted
For if yo do
Time will just pass and fly
You’ll never know why
Seconds
Minutes
Hours
Of you life, you can’t get back
Unless you stop the time

Stuck in the middle
Caught between the riff
Barely staying afloat
But not yet sinking

A new adventure is there on the horizon
Just squint your eyes, look harder, reach out, take a leap of faith
Don’t let the adventure slip away

I just want to say
I love you all the way
To the moon, jumping across stars, floating on clouds, sliding down a rainbow, to the top of the trees, dancing down the leaves, to the grass, into my heart and all the way back....




I love you....

Forming the words from
Inside your head
Critics will critique
What you feel
What you said

Take the criticism
Good or bad
Put it into words
Happy or sad

Opinions matter
But stay true to yourself
Don’t doubt your abilities
Of your true self

Another year coming to an end
A new year is just around the bend
A time to start over
Turn another page
Set life goals
Throw your animosity away
Begin anew
To a better you
Happy New Year to all
May all you wishes come true!

Run
Hide
Don’t you fall
Your heart is heavy
You’ve carried it all
Pick up the pieces
Carry them too
Find a safe place
Release it all

Cry
Scream
Reflect on yourself
But don’t you worry
You are STRONG

Read that again…
DON’T Run
DON’T Hide
Your heart may be heavy
Yes, you’ve carried it all
Find those lost pieces
Carry them too
Find your happy place
Reflect and relax your soul  
YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

What are you doing on top of me
He whispered softly in my ear
“I’m giving you all of me”

Poetic me
Comes naturally
Spiritually lifted
Guiding me
Feeling the force
Leading me too
Unexpected surprise
Soothing my soul

All your scars
Show who you are
Try and connect them
See what is shows
It will reveal that you
Have a heart
Feel pain and love
No matter how hard it gets
Feel that inside of you?
It’s beating for a reason
Pumping blood throughout your body
Embrace your scars
Turn them into positive stories
For you are worthy and blessed
To have a beating heart inside of you

Maybe the spotlight didn’t shine on all of your dreams
But somehow it just dimmed on this fantasy
Better yet, the light just hasn’t been found
Or maybe its not noticed on this side of town

Step into the sunlight
Shine your smile for all those tonight
Who’s going through a tough time
Be the light to shine so bright
Maybe your their dream’s coming to life
Disguised within your own work of art

Like the ocean waves sing the melody
Be the voice for those drowning emotionally
Your spoken words come to life
Spreading love and joy
Look, you found your spotlight!
