I Wanted....

I wanted to be with you.

I wanted to be with you,

but you said no.

Stay where you are, you told me.

So I stayed, apart from you.

And now I feel this question,

burning inside me:

Why should I stay with you?

Moving On

Moving on.

Life goes on through the good and the bad.

Ruts come up and I go no where,

but one day, I move on.

I wonder how I get ahead sometimes.

I have come so far from such a hard place.

Life is better now, not perfect, nor will it ever be,

but it is better.

Smiles and jokes abound, and so does love.

All because I have moved on,

and continue moving on.

Your Hugs

Thank you for your friendship.

Unexpectedly ran into you.

We talked about general things.

We talked of the sadness affecting our lives.

It through us both off.

I was unsure of what to do.

I was feeling so disconnected.

Then I talked to you.

I felt better.

But your hugs really made me feel I was ok.

They made me feel not alone.

They made me feel I would survive.

They made me feel I wanted to go on.

They brought a smile to my face.

Thank you for your friendship.

Life is So Precious

Life is so precious,

but how often do we take it for granted.

Life is so precious,

but how often do we go blithely along merrily.

Life is so precious,

but how often do we block out the bad.

Life is so precious,

but how often do we take our blinders off.

Life is so precious,

but how often do we hit reality.

Life is so precious,

but how often do we really face reality.

Life is so precious,

so live each day as it is your last.

Life is so precious,

so tell those you love that you love them.

Life is so precious,

so stop and appreciate what you have.

Life is so precious,

so learn to accept and not regret.

Life is precious,

so be thankful for good friends.



Life is so precious,

so reach out for them in times of need.

Life is so precious,

so hold them in times of their needs.

Life is so precious,

so through the good and bad be thankful to be alive.

Life is so precious,

so treat life as precious as a newborn baby.

I'm So Sorry

Dreams and hopes for the future

are suddenly dashed.

You had him and raised him right.

You did all the right things,

but something happened.

And you are left with questions,

but no real answers.

Tears down my face;

I cry for him; I cry for you.

Nothing I can do will erase your pain,

though I wish I could.

I wish I could turn back time.

I know you would trade places with him,

if you could and so would I.

I’m sorry seems, so hollow,

but it is the best I can do.

So I will end with those words

as tears stream down my face.

I’m sorry. I ‘m so sorry.

No More

The season of joy is arriving.
You will see him,
spend time with him,
laugh with him,
smile with him
and create memories with him.

Then suddenly you won't.
He is gone
from your presence.
No more will you see him,
nor spend time with him,
nor laugh with him,
nor smile with him,
nor create memories with him.

Others tell you he is in a better place
but that does not lessen your pain
for no more will you see him
nor touch him, nor hug him,
nor feel his warmth, and nor his caring,
nor comfort nor be comforted by him.

You are only left with a question:
Why? Why you my son?
For which there is no answer.
Only knowing you will see him,
touch him, hug him,
feel his warmth and caring,
and feel his comfort and be comforted by him
no more.

It

Scary, Marvelous,

Frightful, Delightful.

Which way am I going?

I want to control it,

but never can I.

And it controls me not.

It just flows;

Why can’t I?
