Some people's kids! 
I'd like to tell you that my children inherited all of their talent from me. But, I don't write poetry, I don't play guitar, piano, or violin. Of course, Dad doesn't either! Where it comes from, I don't know...but I am really proud of all of them. These poems were written just recently by Jared and Lucas. Some you will see are in memory of a friend of theirs who was killed this spring. I will be adding more very soon. Aaryn has promised me her book of poems to look through too!

 

 

"Goodbye Great Friend"
In Loving Memory of Jeremiah Riordan

Goodbye, great friend
I'll see you in the end
But for now I cry,
And wonder why

Why did you go away?
Why couldn't you just stay?

You see that we're aching
There is no mistaking
This tragedy is making us die

And now that you've gone
It's very hard to move on
I've tried but I can't be strong
And all I can say is so long.

But I cannot wait to see
The day that together we'll be

And I know you'll be
Watching over me
But I can't wait to see
The face of this tragedy.

"The Star that Burned like the Sun"
In Loving Memory of Jeremiah Riordan

The brightest star is all burned up
and lost from the sky forever.
But in the heavens there is a scar
that won't go away ever.
The star shined so bright
but it went away
but we think about it everyday.
We will never forget that shining star
that lit up the sky with light.
The scar is there but the sky isn't the same
without that shimmering sight.

"Away too Long"

     Torn away
from what I love most.
    Not forever,
But it feels like its close
    Torn apart
because I can't see you
    Waiting impatiently
to hear "I love you too."
    Crying wildly
from memories so sweet.
    Knowing someday
again we'll meet.

"Broken Heart"

You must be an angel
sent down just for me.
Every minute without you
seems like eternity

You just can't imagine
how much love I feel.
When I'm with you
nothing else is real.

Sent straight from heaven,
flying down on golden wings.
So Unbelievably flawless.
tears are what your memory brings.

My soul is tortured
because we are apart.
I know its not forever,
but for now.........broken heart.
