You

We will always be apart,

but you will live on in my heart.

I'm glad you came into my life,

and soothed some of my internal strife.

Now, I feel blue;

however, I will never forget you.

Even Though

Even though I love you,

I had to say good-bye to you.

Even though I love you,

I had to tell you.

Even though I love you,

I told you because

I didn't want to live a lie,

nor be unfaithful to you.

Even though I love you,

and told you, I would still give up

my life for you.

Even though I love you,

and will not be with you,

you will always be in my heart.

Planting Love

Plant a seed,

check the depth, the dirt, the moisture, and the sun.

Give it loving attention, and water it.

Water it enough, but not too much.

Pay attention to how it is doing.

Nuture it carefully,

and one day, it will bloom.

Love is the seed's name.

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.
