This pain in my heart
When will it subside
I still can’t believe
We had to say goodbye...

Waking up
Everyday
You look my way
Painting a smile upon my face
I never knew what that feeling was
Until I have you...
It’s called
LOVE

Follow your passions
Imaginative colorful dreams
Painting a picture
For all the world to see

The world is experiencing

FEAR

PANIC

CHOAS

UNEASINESS

PANDEMONIUM

AND

SCARINESS

Just as if we were getting a freak blizzard that will dampen our economy but yet this is worldwide

Don’t let fear hold you back...
Let “fear” drive you more
Allowing yourself to remain safe yet still live during this pandemic happening to us...

Silent screams from within
The panic that starts to set in
Fearing the unknown
Adrenaline sky high
Freaking out as each minute passes by
Trying to breath and relax
But these symptoms are panic attacks
Like someone is choking you
Hands wrapped tight around your neck
Dripping and soaking wet
Wanting to crawl into a hole
Burying yourself like a tiny mole
It’s not in your head
It is real
But your in a constant battle of fear
Your not alone as so many suffer
Facing your own demise causing a  buffer
Reaching out asking for help
We are hear to listen in your time of doubt

Silent screams from within

We are hear to listen in your time of doubt

The time has come to close your eyes
We said our I love yous and said our goodbyes
It's time to relax and let the feelings go
Don't worry about us, were stronger then you know.

It's time to see the light, and feel Gods touch
It's in Gods hands now, but please know we will miss you so much.

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."

The time has come to close your eyes
We said our I love yous and said our goodbyes
It's time to relax and let the feelings go
Don't worry about us, were stronger then you know.

It's time to see the light, and feel God’s touch
It's in God’s  hands now, but please know we will miss you so much.

It's in God’s  hands now, but please know we will miss you so much.

The tiniest of paper cuts
Are just skin deep
But yet hurt the most....

Flying solo like paper airplanes taking flight
 
Drifting in the breeze of night
 
Darkness overtakes, yet guided by  moonlight
 
Casting shadows like puppets of the sky’s tearful glow
 
Drowning from the weight of my soul
 
Quiet voices of untold stories,  
 yet screaming emotions from within
 
Self doubt stings like a rag doll getting pricked with pins
 
Feeling alone in this vast universe
Shattered,
Broken

Like paper dolls we used to make
Over time they will disintegrate

Like paper dolls we used to make
Over time they will disintegrate
Faded memories crumbling down
Something so lost, maybe never to be found

When you left....
....a part of my heart went with you....

Where there’s a way

You’ll find the path

That leads you where you need to be

To make your passion and heart happy...

Our minds will diminish over time
But the one thing that will always remain
The passion and love in our hearts
That, my friend, will never change

Is the past tied to my future or should I focus on the present, in hopes of learning from the past to become a better person for the future at last...

The past is over
The present is here today
The future is being paved
Gather your belongings
For change is coming your way

The past is in the past for a reason
The present is paving the way
The future is where your heading
Just take every step
Day by day
You’ll get there eventually
If you keep your head up and pray...

Through the path of chaos and destruction happening in the world
We need to all unite together and pray for everyone's safety
Gearing up for the worst to come
Hunkering down
Hoping for the best
Thoughts and prayers to everyone who will be affected
Let's all come together and be the light in the darkness that has been, and will be put upon us.

You’ll

Counting down
Minute by minute
Hate goodbyes
Please don’t go
We already miss you so
This time was great
Many memories made

Only miles separate our lives
Always in our hearts
Until we see each other next time
Pennsylvania to Florida
Isn’t to far
We’ll see each other again real soon

This isn’t goodbye
Even if we cry
Know we love you
As you get on the plane and fly
Back to your “home”

Only miles between us but our hearts are connected when we look at the same bright sky...

Poetry runs through my veins
Like blood pumping to make my heart beat

Just take a minute
Look at yourself
Smile and say
I’m perfect in every way
Even if others don’t see it
Be positive and love yourself
For this is the way your suppose to be

10 years ago, I was asked...
“Did you have fun on our little getaway? “
I replied... “yes it was a great time”
He then said.. “ but it wasn’t perfect”
As he suddenly dropped down to one knee and said
“Will you marry me?”

And now, the getaway, was PERFECT...

Is there a “ perfect body”
I’m going with yes
It is your body that you own that will surely impress
No matter what you think is “perfect”
Others will find fault
Your too skinny
Your too fat
Your too tall
Your too short
You have stretch marks
You have dimples
Your hair is nasty
Your flat chested
Your big chested
Your too loud
Your too quiet
You have confidence
Your arrogant
And the list is endless...

Why try and be “perfect” when in fact you already are.....
Perfect is you, and perfect is who you are...
Embrace you, embrace yourself, embrace that your perfect and to hell with everyone else...

A drop of love
A pinch of you
Mixing up the perfect brew
Under a spell
Drink it down
Screaming I love you without making a sound
You and I
So in sync
Love potion so wicked
Only the two of us can drink

Perfect illusion
Lurking in the mirror
Painted face
Distorted picture
Wipe off your makeup
Lift your head
Now your true beauty
Shines like sunbeams
When you see you
As you really are
The beauty lies within yourself
When the perfect illusion
Is deep inside the layers of the mirror
Which distorts your true self

A gift from a friend who I don’t really know
Sent along two sand bottles, that she made, and this here quote...
“ Reality has limits, imagination is boundless”
Comes from the heart, with love, this I stress...
I will cherish these sand bottles forever and always
From a “perfect stranger” who we’ve connected through poetry and life
Thank you Star for your handmade gifts you sent to me
I’m thankful that our paths have crossed and that we can inspire one another
Our limits are endless, just you wait and see...

Being a woman....

“My ovaries are having a party”

Husband replies....

“ I think it’s more like a knife fight....”

PERIOD!

She gives herself permission to have
Days of doubt
Grieve in silence
Just lay around

She gives herself permission to
Not to be herself
Not to smile
Hide and cry

The she is me and I am her
I give myself permission
To let my emotions
Sometimes take over

Give yourself permission to feel whatever it is you need or want to feel without carrying the guilt of not “being yourself”

We can now realize
That the little we have
Is actually more than
We have ever needed

It’s about looking at situations with a different perspective
Through the eyes of our world..

Is the glass half empty?
Is the glass half full?
Different perspectives and opinions may not always be right
To me the glass is full
Even though showing its not
All about looking at things differently
And making room for change and improvement
Even if others don't feel it's right

It’s all about the perspective....

I can look into the sun and not be able to see yet a blind  person can look and the warmth is all they need....

Being the inspiration
For those who lost their communication
Connection is key
Giving symbols and signs to me
Being the interpreter for all of those who can’t speak anymore
Being their voices, guiding us, just like they used to before
It doesn’t get any easier, you just cry a little less everyday
But because of you, we hear from our loved ones, in so many different ways
You have a gift
An amazingly beautiful gift
To shed some light in times of darkness
Creating awareness
Opening our hearts
Allowing us to connect with those that are worlds apart...

For you are the only one to find your own happiness; love yourself first, everything else will slowly fall into place like a picture perfect puzzle

I walk on a rickety path made of wood
Surrounded by plants, trees and rocks
Nothing to see for a minute or two
But in the distance I hear the crashing waves
Peering from the clouds, the suns rays
As I embark up this walkway
A calming sensation fills my lungs
All the toxic energy being ****** out of me
Drifting away and then disappearing
All from walking on the rickety path made of wood
Now I am free of my tangled thoughts
You know the feeling....
Of feeling good...

Going to sleep
Waking up
Pouring coffee
Into your cup
Cream and sugar
Make it oh so sweet
Start your day
My mornings complete
Same routine
Everyday
Spice it up
Add a dash of flavor today
Pinch of this
Pinch of that
Today, I am on the right track
Going to sleep
Waking up
It all starts with you
Get ready, take the risk, and jump...
