Sorrow’s lasting grip, never gone If this must be the way I paint a portrait in my mind Angelic glow permeates Soundly sleeping on a cloud Painless drifting above A haunting ache remains Your scent still fresh Or is that a thought Wishful wanting Just one more time One day, one hour Would never be enough For greed takes hold The heart needs more Sleep well, be safe |

Mountains
Majestic are your peaks Never tire of your scene Perfect backdrop to a photo Emotionally serene Snow gently wraps your shoulders Like a shawl to keep you warm Hikers in search of the ultimate In the winter skiers swarm When darkness falls upon you The sky’s forever bright Stars shine above your crest Lending light into the night Endless are your valleys Respect I give to you Each time I visit I’m thankful for the view |

Sisters
Patty, this ones for you as a Thanks for always being there.
Always together
Even when apart
A bond so strong
Begins in the heart
Always knowing
You’re there for me
We support each other
When need be
Over the years
We’ve grown so much
Laughing and crying
You’ve been my crutch
I saw you through breakup
You saw me through pain
We take on life’s obstacles
You’ve kept me sane
We get only one go ‘round
This wonderful earth
No dollar value
Can measure your worth
A knowing smile
I understand your thoughts
Thanks for always being there
I love you Lots!

Oceans Roar
Your mist refreshes as you wave
Foam rolls upon my feet
Lovers strolling at your edge
Awestruck by your power
Respectful of your rage
Calming whispers echo
A resting place for those who lost
Their lives just off your shores
Silence reflects their graves
When life turns me inside out
I run to you for comfort
Relief comes instantly
No two bodies are the same
Yet the effect is exact
Inner peace is sought
Foam rolls upon my feet
Lovers strolling at your edge
Awestruck by your power
Respectful of your rage
Calming whispers echo
A resting place for those who lost
Their lives just off your shores
Silence reflects their graves
When life turns me inside out
I run to you for comfort
Relief comes instantly
No two bodies are the same
Yet the effect is exact
Inner peace is sought

My Gem
Hailey this ones for you. Don't ever change
Within you is a power
Yet still unknown to you
Turning tears to smiles
Believe me dear, it’s true
Angelic in your early days
Free spirited from birth
In awe of your creative ways
From day one upon this earth
Described to me in a word
Genuine, loving kind
Loyalty to all you love
Unbiased is your mind
Putting others always first
A true friend to all you know
When hearing others comment
It is I who gets to glow
Marching solo to your drum
Like a bird to be set free
Each day brings new adventure
I can hardly wait to see
A fraction of the originals
Our genes are what began
The wonderful person that you’ll become,
I’ve only lent a hand
I have many hopes and dreams for you
And pray both night and day
I do not fear your happiness
Because you have found your way
I thank you for your open heart
You’re valued more each day
I’m proud to call you daughter
No matter where you stray
Be anything you want to be
One thing I’ll ask of you
Let no one tell you what to do
To only you be true
Within you is a power
Yet still unknown to you
Turning tears to smiles
Believe me dear, it’s true
Angelic in your early days
Free spirited from birth
In awe of your creative ways
From day one upon this earth
Described to me in a word
Genuine, loving kind
Loyalty to all you love
Unbiased is your mind
Putting others always first
A true friend to all you know
When hearing others comment
It is I who gets to glow
Marching solo to your drum
Like a bird to be set free
Each day brings new adventure
I can hardly wait to see
A fraction of the originals
Our genes are what began
The wonderful person that you’ll become,
I’ve only lent a hand
I have many hopes and dreams for you
And pray both night and day
I do not fear your happiness
Because you have found your way
I thank you for your open heart
You’re valued more each day
I’m proud to call you daughter
No matter where you stray
Be anything you want to be
One thing I’ll ask of you
Let no one tell you what to do
To only you be true

In Time
Surprised by my reaction
I should be overjoyed
Sadness fills my mind
Much time has passed now
Wanting to share happiness
The tears flow freely
A beautiful occurrence
A natural part of life
Hits me like a brick
Sad and happy co-exist
My heart unsure how to feel
Pain I hide from all
Silently suffer alone
The wound re-opens
A little each time
Feelings so familiar
Subconscious takes over
I’ve no control
Selfish thoughts
Allow me some space
In a while, It’ll be fine
I should be overjoyed
Sadness fills my mind
Much time has passed now
Wanting to share happiness
The tears flow freely
A beautiful occurrence
A natural part of life
Hits me like a brick
Sad and happy co-exist
My heart unsure how to feel
Pain I hide from all
Silently suffer alone
The wound re-opens
A little each time
Feelings so familiar
Subconscious takes over
I’ve no control
Selfish thoughts
Allow me some space
In a while, It’ll be fine

A Perfect World
A Perfect World
An unbiased heart of innocence
Sees the likeness of itself
In all humankind, regardless
A perfect place, pure harmony
All realize the world is free
To live ones life as we are born
No difference can be seen
All work towards the same
A peaceful existence
When a heart is pure
The mind is open
This is the earth
The doors are revolving
Enter if you please
Stay for a while
Someday the world will be
A balance of all people
Living as one kind, human
An unbiased heart of innocence
Sees the likeness of itself
In all humankind, regardless
A perfect place, pure harmony
All realize the world is free
To live ones life as we are born
No difference can be seen
All work towards the same
A peaceful existence
When a heart is pure
The mind is open
This is the earth
The doors are revolving
Enter if you please
Stay for a while
Someday the world will be
A balance of all people
Living as one kind, human
