Yours

My heart is broken in pieces but
I know the broken pieces will mend if
I put them in your hands so
with faith I give you this heart you created for me
God, here’s my heart
As you know my love his been and
will continue to be  yours forever

You see the tears I cry and
the ones trapped behind my eyes          
Like my heart these tears are yours
dry them If you wish or let
them fall teaching me lessons along the way        

I may not understand what
you have in store for me or those I love
As I’ve always said you never give us
more than we can handle
The will is yours and
I’ll have faith no matter
 what your plans are

Single Rose

When you first met your single rose
she was sweet, but green round the gills as they say
Innocence dripped like morning dew from her fragile pedals and
in love was a great place to be  
To her well, love oh love meant forever 
She was getting ready to blossom taking her first steps
into a world that at times has been cold and cruel
All the while with newfound strength

she was there for you whenever you needed her     

Well my dear, a few years have passed
Her life not the carefree one you’re used to
Love has changed in her eyes
For her it hasn’t been the same
You‘re used to your single rose being the
roots that keep you grounded and safe

from all the heartache in the world

Baby you have been so wrapped up in your life
You can only see what you want through the rose colored glasses
you have chosen to wear  
How can she shield you from pain when
her heart ache is this bad?
She needs someone to be her single rose and
she loves you, and always will but
she’s so sorry you just aren’t the one

 

 

Forever Changed

She didn’t think she’d be here
In this place where she’d have to grow up
and be the woman everyone told her she could be
at least not this soon
Now she knows she can be that woman
the one who has to be strong when her tears want
nothing more than to fall for hours on end
Like many moments of her past have done
she is and always will be forever changed

Now she’s in a place where the strongest woman
she’s ever known is praying that the cancer she’s
trying to beat doesn’t take her from this world
So far as she can tell the strongest woman
she knows and loves is winning the battle
for her life
The love she feels for this woman makes her
do everything she can for a mother who would
do and has done nothing less for her

People have asked if her faith is shaken
She’d be the first to admit there have been times
thoughts of a life without her have made this daughter
wish she could take her place
It’s weird but her faith has only gotten stronger
her relationship with God has forever changed again
If it weren’t for Him she wouldn’t be here to take care of
the mother whom will never be far from her thoughts

Love Story

We are used to hearing the typical love story

you know the kind

The kind traditional fairytales are made of

When boy meets girl then falls in love and

in the end, they get married with the hope that

the bond they share will last forever

The love story she is about to put to paper is not typical

This one is the story of two women who like the

boy meets girl scenario met, fell in love

Then after fighting for what they believe in

they got married inspiring her more than they may ever know

Showing her and others that love doesn't take just one form

Yet unlike the typical love story theirs doesn't end there

You see these two want it all

They want to be mothers and

she, well she can't blame them

This inspires her too

She hopes all their dreams come true and

she can't wait to see what happens next

Running Away

Today has been a day she wishes she
could forget ever even happened
A day when her friends seen to
feel as blue as she does
She feels as blue as a cloudless sky
Even someone as optimistic as she
tries to be can feel like running away
Oh God she sees nothing but gray

If she ran where could she go?
Would her heart let her forget the stabbing pain
that has made its home there for three long months
if only for a while?
Her lover’s arms are what feel like miles
beyond her reach
She knows he’d wrap her in his love
if only he could be in the same place she was

When she lays her head down tonight
She’ll pray that He gives her strength to
stay grounded and fight the urge to
run as far and as fast as she can
one day she hopes her heart
will be as light as it once was

Summer Times

It’s hot as hell in the Florida sun in the summertime
So hot one can find themselves diving into a cool pool of
blue in a friend’s backyard or a bluish green ocean
on the shore of a white sandy beach
Just to get some relief from the beaming rays of sun
on hot summer days
Yet the heat brings back memories of Summer times of
great joy from her past
A past she wishes she could’ve frozen and
thawed out as life seems to be throwing curveballs at her right and left

Whenever she thinks of summer times she
sees a young carefree girl with dreams as vast as her imagination
A girl with no worries of what could or should be
when time seemed to do nothing but crawl and
two weeks felt like a lifetime
A girl just living in the what was from one moment to the next

As she sits here she can’t help but wonder if
there are still summer times of great joy left to be had
She’d give anything to be carefree once again
Thank God she has the summertime memories of her past to hold on to
For she knows it is these summertime memories that
may be part of the source of strength
she needs to make it through life from now on

I Wish I Could’ve Loved You

Dear Ex lover who shall remain nameless
Not because I'm ashamed of who you were but
I can admit the truth to myself now
The truth is oh sweet memory of my past
I'm ashamed of how I treated you
someone that loved me more then I deserved
You gave me your heart my dear
asking nothing but love in return
How could I have been so blind?
I wish I could've loved you
the way you loved me

I tried sweetheart I really did
You and I were young and well
I didn't even know what love was at the time
Yet no matter what I tried I couldn't make
my heart feel something it didn't
The love I once felt and still feel for you is like
the love between best friends
A love without end

I know this poem comes years too late and
the dreams you had of us lay broken at my feet
For all those broken dreams and
your broken heart I'm so sorry
I wish I could've loved you
the way you loved me
If you ever read this
I hope you find a girl who
can love you more than I could, and or did
Love, the girl who thinks of you
more often than you know
