Looking over the meadow everything so green
Its all so serene
Flowers and trees move in the wind
Who knows what we may find
I breath deep all the fresh air
Not a single worry or care
I take a deep breath and close my eyes
Then I raise my head to the sky
Sunshine feels wonderful on my face
I will return to this place
I take a deep breath one last time
Before the lunch bell chimes
Now its time to go
Return to the work flow
I dream of when we return
only to breath that fresh air again

Me
Alone I sit because certain friends are no more
They call, I won't run out the door
Different paths our lives have taken
Only to see who you truly are, my eyes awaken
I will not apologize for who I am
You knew who I was since our friendship began
You want more from me than I can give
Alone you will be and how you'll live
I'm done giving in to everyone else
Maybe your issues will fix itself
Time for me to move on and live my life
I am far from the perfect mother and wife
My heart is saddened by the way you are
Continue this way and you won't get far

Pretty colors in the trees

Orange, yellow, browns and greens

So many colors that are seen

Such a beauty, I only see in my dreams

Falling leaves hit the ground

Floating freely, don’t make a sound

Breezes blow, through the trees

Pollen fly’s and makes you sneeze.

All the leaves on the ground, Winters next stop

Cold air constant as winds blow, temperatures drop

Black ice on the black top

Huge icicles hanging from homes

Igloo forts in the shape of domes

Snow melts seasons change again

Want to be warm, just waiting for weatherman to say when

Here comes Spring, animals wake from their sleep

Standing on the mountainside are the sheep

Seasons changing with color of the leaves

I sit here alone with my thoughts
Thinking about so many things
Worried about what the rest of the day will bring
I think about the job I do
Am I good enough, what do I have to prove?
Did the patient last night make it through
I feel like I should know so much more
Because I never know what's in store
My thoughts sometimes get the best of me
It's time for me to let go and be free
Thoughts are there, why am I so scared?
Afraid to be alone
No one for me to pick up the phone
Racing thoughts won't stop
Tears down my face
Thoughts betray my safe place
Sitting alone thoughts in my mind
Close my eyes, breath and unwind
Body relaxes, a breath of fresh air
Thoughts make me so scared
Can't get the best of me I will never be free

Families hold dog tags of loved ones lost

Fought for our freedom with pain and great cost

Families and friends keep memories alive

Watching from heaven pray their buddies survive

Gone but not forgotten forever they'll be

No more hurt, souls and spirits are free

We say their names in our  prayers

Forever in our hearts, they'll always be there

Battlefield cross, no soldier wants to see

Dog tags of friends, it could've been me

Their heads hang low as they pray

No one knows really what to say

They all kiss their dog tags and cry

Raise their heads to heaven GOODBYE!!

Imaginary shapes in the clouds above
Birds on a wire looks like a dove
Warm breeze blowing on a summer day
Beautiful blue skies a gorgeous day
Planes flying high up in the sky
so for away you only hear them
Picking flowers by their stems
waiting to see them grow again
Colors rich and bright
Such a beautiful site

they make you forget about everything wrong
Stress and anxieties go away helps your mind become strong
Flowers blooming once again
I continue to pick them by the stems
Purple, red, orange and white
Colors of my delight
Flowers brighten up my room what a site
what a gorgeous way to end my day

Chasing dreams in the night
Powerful thoughts with lots of fight
Dreams of space and time
Imagination wanders as I unwind
Fairies and unicorns in my world
Things I always dreamed of as a young girl
Dreams keep you going to the next day
Often help you find your way
Flying Pegasus carries me
High in the sky, feeling so free
Chasing dreams in the night
Dream warrior ready to fight
Darkness comes to my world, things begin to fade
Feelings of wakefulness begins to invade
Morning sun, in my window shining bright
Closing my eyes wishing it was night
Chasing dreams
