Butterfly

She longs to be free
Every night before lying her head down
She prays He will give her the strength to take a breath
Spread her wings and flutter into freedom

The Ghost

He acts as if she is invisible
She does not understand how he can be so insensitive
Every time she asks him a question or two
he gives her the cold shoulder 

She wishes he would tell her what his problem is
She knows he won’t because
he is uncomfortable around her
He needs to realize she may be different but
she is still human and not a ghost 

Your Little Girl

Mom and dad I know I’ll always be your little girl
that’s the one fact of life I wouldn’t ever change
nor would I want to
We’ve been through a lot all of us
the lessons learned have at times been hard to bare but
I am a firm believer in the notion that what doesn’t kill us
can only make us stronger

One of the greatest lessons you ever taught your children
was to believe in God no matter what
My faith was tested when He called one of us home
at a time that we all perceived to be  to early 

I now see our loss through a different set of eyes
We lost a son, a brother and a best friend as we knew him but
we gained an angel the second God took his soul to heaven

I really believe He had a greater plan for him
one we may not understand until such a time
as we are all reunited

I am at a point where I have to make choices you may not agree with
All I’m asking is that you have a little faith in me and
trust that you’ve given me all I need to be a strong woman 
Always know I love you and I’ll never stop

When I Don’t Know

 

When I don’t know what to say I try to write a poem

that conveys how I feel but this time, oh this time beautiful girl
I don’t know where to begin so
I’ll follow the heart God gave me
that has never lead me wrong

I miss you more than I can find the words to say
I’m sorry I can’t be there in person like it use to be but
you’re always on my mind and in my heart
The one thing I can tell you is that
I cherish each and every moment we share
and I always will

If you ever need me I’m here like I have been
from the second we met
The key to the love we share lies deep within
that amazingly beautiful heart of yours
as it does in mine so if ever you get lonely
search for me inside yourself and I promise
I’ll be there

Every time I look through your eyes and
into your heavenly soul I see
the reflection of the little girl I once was
When I was your age my dear my only job
was to be the child that had nothing but love
in her heart for the family He chose for her
Trust me; you only get one chance to be a child so
hold on to your childhood as long as you can
because it only lasts for a moment in time

At Sunset

 

It has been one of those days

You know the kind everyone’s been there before
The kind where she wonders why she even got out of bed
an all too familiar question begins creeping into her head
Why me lord, why now?
She’s teetering on the brink of losing her mind but
instead she is writing this poem to calm her nerves
which are all but frayed and all she wants to do is scream


It’s so frustrating knowing the world is full of people
who just don’t care
She wonders how some people can treat others
who give so much as if they are replaceable
As she sits here she has one question
Do you have a heart?


Put yourself in the shoes of others
before you act so rude
Would you act that way if the tables were turned on you?
Well you had my day but
you will not have my night because
at sunset I intend to forget about you
at least until tomorrow
Then I have faith God will guide me through
just as he did today

True Friends

True friends are rare gifts from above

Like all other things in life

God knows just when you really need them

She has learned some friends blow through your life

like the wind on a cold day but true friends

will be there no matter what

When you are lost true friends will

 be there to be a beacon of light

anytime you need one

They care without asking for anything in return

True friends will spend time giving good advice even

if it isn’t taken

True friends can also be a

great source of inspiration

She’s always heard just before

He calls you home you can look back on your life
and count your true friends on one hand

She hopes she’s been someone a few

could call a true friend when
they think of her

What her Heart Feels

Some people think it's wrong

for him to love her

In their opinions she doesn't seem to

feel that same intense love

he has always felt for her but

they'll never know

what her heart feels

 

Over the years she's found herself wondering

why those who say their love will never work 

talk that way

Then she realizes those who question their love

only wish they could know a love like they have 

They'll never know

what her heart feels

 

They can say anything they want

about the love between them but

they'll never know 

what her heart feels when

he touches her heart

just by holding her hand

They'll never know 

what her heart feels when

he looks deep into her soul

just by gazing into her eyes 

 

The truth is she loves him more

than he'll ever even begin to understand

Their love is like a dream she use to pray

would someday come true 

Even though it has been many years

since her dream of love became a reality  

she'll continue to love and cherish him forever
