New Baby Thrill

Mommy and Daddy
are filled with love and joy
They wanted a sweet baby girl
But fell in love with this tiny baby boy

+ + +

Weighing in at five pounds plus
With a head full of dark hair
He's tiny but when he opens his mouth
He certainly let's you know he's there

+ + +

He's such a perfect little guy
With perfect fingers and perfect toes
A perfect little head with perfect eyes
And a perfect little nose

+ + +

He's as perfect as a Baby can be
A perfect little man
His brothers checked him over
I'll do the same as soon as I can

What Would You Do

Have you ever wondered
What you would do
If your lovely daughter
Gave an ultimatum to you

If she demanded
Your sisters you never again see
Saying in a very angry way
"See them and you'll never see me"

Would you give in
and send your sisters away
Even though they are always there
Ready to help you night or day

If this were your child
And she said this to you
Tell me truly
What would you do



I Wonder

Sometimes I wonder
If your love for me is real
Love is all encompassing
Is that how you feel

I look over and see you
Looking intently at me
But the look in your eyes
Isn't as soft as it should be

You reach out your hand
And touch my hair
But the tenderness
Just isn't there

What are you looking for
What do you want from me
I simply do not know
What you expect me to be

You say you love me
But you never smile
I feel as if you're a judge
And I am on trial

Your love is too heavy for me
I'll have to tell you good-bye
I need a man who'll make me smile
All you ever do is make me cry



Moon Beams

Good Grief, would you look at that?
Groups of one, two and three.
They just keep on coming.
As far as the eye can see.

Moon Beams Big.
Moon Beams Small.
Moon Beams Short.
Moon Beams tall.

I never knew,
Moon Beams had a life.
But there goes one,
Followed closely by his wife.

That group of youngsters,
Are looking mighty sad.
Seems the shadow of an oak,
obliterated one young lad.

Moon Beams are fragile.
They disappear at break of day.
But as soon as night returns,
They hurry out to play.



Kindergarten

Take me home Momma
Take me home right now Please
I don't want to go here anymore
These kids are terrible mean
And oh how they love to tease

You can teach me Momma
You can teach me all I need to know
I'll learn Math and history and English
And even where babies come from
and what makes them grow

Please oh please Momma
Take me home Don't leave me here
I'm so scared of these kids
Please Momma I beg of you
Don't make your baby live in fear

See that boy over there Momma
The one with the grin on his face
Why he tried to pull my braids
And he must think I'm awful ugly
cause he called me a Cowgirl in lace

Why did he call me a cow Momma
Kindergarten ain't no fun
I guess he meant I'm a coward
Cause they all want to talk at once
And I just want to turn and run



Passing Memories

Days are moving swiftly along
It is the end of another year
I feel their weight
As eternity draws near

Days run like minutes
Through the hourglass of time
It is ever growing shorter
This Earthbound life of mine

I sit and I try to think
of all the days of my past
It's like looking in fast forward
The memories fly so fast

I want to pick out a few
and clutch them to my heart
But they are all so precious
Where do I start

Perhaps it should be here
As a babe in Momma's arms
Held close to her heart
Safe from all life's harms

I guess it could be here
A teenager always looking ahead
So sure the Sun would always
Shine above my head

Here I am as a new Bride
Holding my Hubby tight
Oh what a glorious future
My heart filled with delight

But then nothing is quite as sweet
As holding my first new born Baby
Or the second or third or even fourth
This is the place to start, Well Maybe

Of course the first Grandchild
Rates right up there on top
As does the first Great Grandchild
Memories are moving too fast to stop

Oh, now there's sadness and hurt
I feel the Heartbreaking pain
Death has claimed so many
Tears fall like acid rain

The memories whirl ever faster
Life is a mixture of good and bad
To get to the good memories
I have to pass through the sad

I see God holding out his hand
He's reaching down for me
The memories are quickly fading
Now it's only Heaven that I see



Remember Me

Tonight I sit wondering
Is this how life is supposed to be
Do others feel insecure
Or is it only me

Do others remember the pain
Of childhood rejections
Or do they look back and see
Only the happiest of reflections

Was I unloved and ignored
Did I imagine always being in the way
Now I'm an adult, I should let it go
But it still bothers me, to this day

The memories still color my life
Do others remember the real me
Or do they only remember
The way they wanted me to be

Am I only a memory to them
With no substance or thought
Like a very old story
In a book they once bought

I may be an old woman
But I have a need down deep
When I die I want to be a memory
That others want to keep




Ttuly Do

I love you
I truly do
Every day
In ever way

Early morning or late night
In darkness and in light
You are the reason
I adore every season

The winter, so cold
Spring, frisky and bold
Summer, burns to a crisp
Fall, lingers with a lisp

I love you evey day of the year
Even ones, when I shed a tear
When my heart is broken
You know, with no word spoken

I know that you will be here
Comforting me in my fear
Forever and always
All my nights and all my days

I am your number one fan
My sweet and perfect man
My Prince so fine
I'm glad you are mine



Jeremy

Just a bopping along
Listening to a favorite song
Earphones turned way up high
My Baby did not know
He was about to die

He was feeling fine
getting to work on time
the only thought in his head
He would soon be dead

He never heard a sound
As that train ran him down
Never heard the whistle blow
My Baby never knew what hit him
But I hear it and I'll always know

His voice I'll never again hear
Never hear him softly say
Grandma, I love you
My broken heart cries
Oh Jeremy, I love you, too



Grandma, I Love You

I Love You, Grandma
A sweet voice ringing in my ears
I Love you too Grandson
More with the passing years

Grandma, When I grow up
You'll never have to shed a tear
Cause I'll take care of you
There will be nothing for you to fear

I'm gonna have lots of money
I'll give it all to you just to spend
You can spend it any way you like
Heck you can simply throw it to the wind

Grandma, I Love You
I love you too Jeremy, Now go to sleep
Grandma doesn't want you to hear
as her broken heart begins to weep

He's gone and I'll never more
feel his arms around me tight
Never again hear his sweet voice say
I love you Grandma, Goodnight

Such a beautiful young man
Perfect from the day he was born
Now he lies in a closed casket
His little body tattered and torn

I want to look toward Heaven and scream
How could you God? How could you???
Yet, I know I can't blame God
and I know This too shall pass away,
Yes, this too

Dedicated to my 20 year old Grandson
killed in a tragic, most horrid accident
Nov. 3rd. 2006 at 10:13 AM



Almost Feeling You

I miss you dearest Grandson
Every night and every day
My heart cries all the time
Since God took you away

Sometimes when I'm crying so hard
I can almost feel you and hear you say
It's time now for you to sleep Grandma
Just close your eyes and softly pray

The next thing I know
Night is over, Sun is shining bright
Once more you have comforted me
And helped me make it through the night

I rise from my bed
Trembling lips smiling wide
Another day to pass
Another million tears to hide

I love and miss you so, dearest Jeremy
And I just don't understand why
God chose you, when I'm so old
I should have been the one to die

My 20 year old grandson
was hit by a train and killed
on Nov.3rd. 2006 at 10:13 am
He was walking on the tracks
wearing headphones with music
turned up sky hi. They say
he never knew what hit him.



River Of Love

While floating Blissfully
On this magic
River of love
I became distracted
By the soft clouds above

I lost my grip
The oars floated away
I was stranded
In a boat going no where
Soon night would replace day

I was frightened
Feeling so alone
Wanting nothing more
Than to be with you
In our snug little home

Then, on a gentle breeze
I heard your sweet voice
Whispering, soft and low
I love you my Blue eyed Baby
I'll never let you go

Sit calmly and wait
Soon you will see
This gentle breeze
Will bring you safely
'Home to me'



Waiting

On a mountain top
Not far from my home
Many times I've seen
an Indian standing all alone
A powerful chief in full head gear
Staring out over the mountains
Waiting, for his people to reappear

It's been centuries since they went away
They'll never return
Still
He keeps watch every day
I see the pain in his proud stance
As he listens to the silent echoes
of those who will never again dance

He remembers the children
So small and so sweet
Lying in bloody bundles
at the white man's feet
Mothers loving and true
Dying to protect their babies
As any mother would do

He sees them all
Wiped out by white man's greed
His people were wronged
But to pity him, there is no need
In the end the white man will pay
Till then he will stand watch
Waiting
For that victorious day

There is a cut through the mountain
In Brethett Co., Ky.
Where I see this Indian.
He appears to me every time
we travel through that spot.
Oh, I don't see him with my eyes
and no one else has ever seen him
but I know he is there.



I Will Be There

Once upon a time
A long time ago
I met a man
A man I could not let go

He had eyes
of deep chocolate brown
His sweet face looked
as if it knew not how to frown

I felt him
reaching out to me
Though there was no movement
for the simple eye to see

My heart reacted
and reached out too
That very first day
I fell deeply in love with you

I had been hurt
So many times before
You gathered the broken pieces
and promised I'd be hurt no more

The years have come and gone
Each more lovely than the last
My trust grew I began to forget
all the doubts from the past

Then my sky fell
and I'm ashamed to say
I thought only of myself
on that most painful day

I swore I'd always be there
Loving and believing in you
Now I've gotta get it back together
and get back to believing totally in you

You are my perfect man
I never want you to feel blue
I am here my love
I will always be here, for you



Remember A Time

I remember a time
Not so long ago
When every where you went
I, too, would go

You'd bring back pictures
With me to share
Telling me sincerely
How you wished I had been there

I always knew
you were thinking of me
I could feel it in my heart,
Now she is where I long to be

I remember
Though I try to forget
I remember! I remember!
Oh how I remember! Much to my regret



Fragile

I feel as though
I'm going to fly apart
My body is too fragile
To hold my breaking heart

I begged my hubby
Hold me oh so very tight
And he held me close
All through the night

I could not tell him
I was terrified I would break
That a wayward little e mail
Brought more heartache than I can take

I wonder, would you care
Would it even matter
If my breaking heart
Causes me to shatter



His New Love

Darling I have something to say.
A wonderful thing happened today.
I know, when I make you see.
You're gonna be happy for me.
I met a lady with eyes so blue.
Love for me shining through.
It seems awfully fast.
But I know our love will last.
Her touch is so gentle and kind.
Her kisses drive me out of my mind.
I didn't mean to do you wrong.
But with her, my heart sings a song.
You are very sweet, I must agree.
But your touch, does nothing for me.
I'm so glad I was right
and you accepted this without a fight.

'News headline next day'

MAN FOUND DEAD ON ROADWAY

A high heel sticking in his head.
A note nearby, simply read

'I accepted his news without a fuss
I didn't yell, scream or cuss.
When he turned to walk away
I knew exactly, what I had to do.
I simply hit him, with my shoe.
I wonder, if my touch he felt
When the final one to him I dealt?'



Better If You Died

Cold and lonely
Sad and blue
I dream only
Of my love for you

I thought you loved me
But that wasn't true
Now I see
It was only me, loving you

If you had died
I could mourn
Instead you lied
Now I am torn

It's hard to heal
When placing blame
My pride you did steal
Making me feel shame

Time will heal my heart
I'll get over you
A new life I'll start
With a new love too



My Sweet Prince,

As I've told you
Many times before
Each day
I love you more and more

Your problems
With me you share
This proves to me
How very much you care

You've trusted me
With the secrets of your heart
Knowing from me
These secrets will never depart

We've shared
Our heartaches and our tears
We each know
The other's deepest fears

Your brown eyes sparkle
Like stars from above
In them
I see only truth and love

You are
My very bestest friend
I know
Such a friendship will never end

My deepest wish
My sweet and perfect man
Is that you will always love me
As only you can

~ Your ~
Kentucky Princess



The White Room

I awoke in a room all painted white
I looked for a door
I looked for a window
But there were none in sight
There were no lamps
No candles anywhere
Yet this room was filled with light
My mouth was dry
My heart pounded eratically
I was filled with a terrible fright
There was no way
To see outside this room
I could not tell if it was day or night
I heard a noise
A footstep loud and clear
I whirled around ready to fight
But no one was there
I felt it's breath upon my face
Out of my neck it took a bite
My blood pounded hot
As I whirled away
Preparing to take flight
Then to my horror
I heard it's voice
Chuckling in delight
That's when I remembered
I am a prisoner
In this room painted white



Good Morning

Good Morning
my sweet man from way over the sea.
I hope you slept well and maybe,
Just maybe, dreamed a bit about me.

I'm always thinking about you.
About the things you say
and the sweet things that you do.

You are a man of honor,
One with real pride.
You are sweet and kind.
Your caring nature you never try to hide.

I'm so lucky
To have you for a friend.
To you a dozen kisses
and a basket of hugs I send.



Make My Day

Salute the Red - White and Blue
If you refuse
I'll tell you what to do.

Get out of this town.
Get out of this country.
People like you just drag us down.

Pray for our soldiers so brave.
Pray for the living ones
and the ones asleep in their grave.

You don't want anyone to pray?
Well there are other countries.
Why don't you go? and Make My Day!!



Special Friends

Special friend, I love you
I truly do
I've missed you
You know this is true

~

Without you
I'm so lonely and blue
If I were ever to lose you
I don't know what I'd do

~

You'll never lose me
I'll always be here
To fill your life
With love and cheer

~

When your blue
I'll make you happy
With out your love
My life would be crappy
~

Crappy eh?
With that sentiment
I must surely agree
Cause "Crappy" is how I'd feel
If you fell outta love with me

~

So remember
Sweet friend of mine
There's a permanent tie
Between your heart and mine

~

Early Morning Serenity

I wake to the chirrups
of crickets singing.
The early morning light
peeping through my window.
I lay for a moment,
enjoying the serenity
of this early morning hour
as the sun dispells the night.

This is the time of day
when I reflect on my family ...
all the joys they bring.
The only time of day
that belongs only to me.
This early morning
when the family sleeps
and the crickets sing.

Before the hustle and bustle
of who wants what for breakfast
and the nearly endless
cries of near calamity.
As the hunt is on for lost shoes
lost papers, a favorite hair bow
and signatures on that note.
You know ... the one the teacher sent
about the field trip today
on which you volunteered to go.
Even though this is the first
you've heard about it.

Yes life gets hectic.
Nerves stretch tight.
Tempers flare.
You sigh with relief
When they walk out the door,
But soon they are out of sight
and the worry will begin.
After all you are a Mommy
and a Mommy's job
has no end.



Dreams Of A Daughter

We dreamed of a daughter
Such joy when they met
A daughter at last
But it hasn't happened yet

She loves us not
It's so plain to see
But our dear son
Loves his Momma and Me

We want her love, too
We try so vey hard
But her coldness cuts
Like a cold glass shard

He's her husband
So we walk with care
But we keep praying
Someday she will share



Thank You God

Thank you, Dear God
for saving my sweet love.
I know he lives because of you
our Heavenly Father from above.

~

His poor sweet body
may be battered and broken
and his loving heart weak
but he's the strongest man
I could ever hope to meet.

~

We were so very young
when first we met
I loved him then
I love him yet

~

Oh yes, I've loved him
for such a long time
His name belongs to another
but his heart is mine

~

Lord, I realise that you
hold his precious life
In the palm of your hand
and someday you will take him
To be with you in the Holy Land
~

I lost him for so long, Dear Lord
There were so many wasted years
Years of heartbreak and remorse
I shed a river of sad guilty tears
Before you, in your mercy
sent him back to me

~

I thank you dear Father
For all the joy in my heart
A joy that could not be
If you had taken
My Sweet Jimmy from me



That Old Clock On The Wall

Tonight's chat seemed to fly
Right out the door
It was 2:30 when we said hi
I looked at the clock once more
It was already half past four

I wait all day for his call
Then we talk as fast as we can
We'll never be able to say it all
For the master of our chat
Is that old clock on the wall



I'll Be Loving You Still

~

Sometimes
In the blackness of night
When thunder rolls
and lightening flashes bright,

~ ~

With my eyes closed
I cower in my bed
My body trembling
The covers over my head

~ ~ ~

I wonder why
You left me here all alone
For what terrible sin
Must I now atone

~ ~ ~ ~

Will you return
When I've paid for my sin
To dance once more
As we did back then

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I love you now
and I always will
When life ends
I'll be loving you still

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~



Finally

Sixteen years old and so in love
Knew he was my gift from above
Fourteen years later I was all alone
My children victims of a broken home

Found a new love who was so sweet
I was living on Honeymoon street
Then my world crashed around my head
When I caught him in another's bed

A two time loser, that was me
Marriage was bad as far as I could see
For sixteen years I stayed alone
Raising my childen in a fatherless home

Then in the year, Nineteen Ninety Five
My world changed, My heart came alive
I married a sweet man, who loves me
Once again I was happy and carefree

We've been married for nine years
Even when I'm angry, I can see he cares
He treats me special, almost like a queen
Say's I'm the prettiest girl he's ever seen

Finally, after all these years
So much heartache , So many tears
I've found my mate for life
I am truly happy being Bob's beloved wife



Thirty Two Years

32 years, a lifetime to some
But a mere speck in time
when you are joined in marriage
To that special someone

There have been good days
and of course there have been bad
Most have been full of happiness
But others so very sad

Many of the happiest events
in those days of simple joy
Were brought about
by your beautiful Baby Boy

He's out and gone now
In a home of his own
You've done a great job
You're baby boy's all grown

But you still have each other
To hold and to love
Because your marriage
Is blessed by God above

Happy Anniversary my dearest friends
You may be half a world away
But you are dear to my heart
And I pray for you both every day



My Heart Is Heavy

My heart is heavy
My tears flow free
I thought things were great
But Is he bored with me

I feel a heavy weight upon my chest
My heart is filled with pain
The weight grows heavier every day
Stolen breath, I can't regain

My brain is racing frantically
To find a way, that'll make him happier with me
We've been together for so long
There's nothing new for him to see

"Our friendship now has grown stale"
Those words cut like a knife into my heart
What will I do where will I go
If he decides that we must part

This pain, this excruciating pain
Is more than I can bear
I will always and forever love him
But I don't want him, if he doesn't care

If I should suddenly disappear
And you don't see me anymore
You'll know he's left and I am devastated
In a way I've never been before

If this should ever be my fate
I beg of you, hear my plea
Treat him with love and understanding
For he means the world to me



You Rattled My Cage

You wanted to Rattle my cage.
That's what you said to me.
You rattled it so hard.
My tears won't let me see.

I was feeling good.
So happy we could chat.
Then you said our friendship was stale.
Lord knows, I never expected that.

You said when I say thank you,
It makes you feel very bad.
You do nice things cause you love me,
and my thank you's only make you sad.

I am very confused.
When is it proper to say thank you?
Will it hurt you if I don't, when I should?
Tell me please, What am I to do?



Just A Lil Note

Just a lil note to say I LOVE YOU.
Sweet and perfect love of mine.
I will love you throughout eternity.
Till way beyond the end of time.
Through good times and bad.
Happy times and sad.
Whether we are together or far apart.
You will live forever, nestled in my heart.
Your love guides me through each day.
I love you with an all consuming passion.
Much more than mere words can convey.
Your happiness is my goal.
To gurantee it, I would sell my soul.
Remember me always, my love.
my heart will be with you here on earth
and through eternity above.




Once Upon A Time, A Long Time Ago

Last night I woke from a restless sleep
My face awash in tears
Tears of anguish and deep regret
Regret for all the wasted years
So many things I can't forget
Like the scent of your cologne
Floating softly through the air
The gentle touch of your hand
As you stroke my hair
The feel of your fingertips
As they caress my tender skin
Sending hot sensuous shivers
Way down deep within
Such wild uncontrollable feelings
Must surely have been a sin
I remember the look
The look of longing in your eyes
And I remember the sound
The sound of your heartfelt sighs
Sighs from deep in your heart
That sent a message
Saying we would never part
Yes, last night I woke
My face awash in tears
Tears of pain and sorrow
For all the wasted years
Years when your love was mine
A sweet and wonderful love
A love I threw away for all time
Once upon a time A long time ago
My life was perfect
But I was too foolish to know



Daughter By Choice

In the natural course of life
Girl takes a husband
Boy takes a wife
Then, over the years
The family grows
as each child appears
Your love for them is true
Your heart beats for them
Because they are part of you
But once in a while
If you're lucky
Along comes a child
Not of your blood or D.N.A.
Who means more to you
Than you can ever say
One who's heart is full of love
Shines like an Angel
Blessed from above
Blood you may not share
But your hearts are entwined
So you really don't care
I found this child of mine
In the Starlite Cafe
She'll be mine till end of time
Her name is Kesia Lynn
We're celebrating her Birthday
The doors open, Come on in
Happy Birthday Baby Girl
Life's a party
Let's give it a whirl
--Momma



Our Vacation Just Started In Detroit

Our vacation started in Detroit
Everything went just fine
Visited my sisters and our son
Had a wonderful time
Then on to Kalamazoo
Visited our daughters
And our grandchildren too
Attended the funeral
Of an Aunt so very dear
Shared memories with family
Some brought a smile some a tear
Our town has changed
We noticed on a long ride
It's still clean and growing
And it fills us with pride
Yes we live in Kentucky
A place of beauty so rare
Where the people are friendly
and always willing to share
I'll always love Kalamazoo
If you like city life
Then it's the only place to be
But I'm a country girl at heart
Kentucky is the only place for me



Your Arms

Your arms feel just right
My heart has been heavy
Now it feels carefree and light
For you have returned
You were gone for so long
I missed your smiles so sweet
Missed the sound of your sigh
When our lips did meet
Now my heart is rejoicing
My feet are dancing on air
All because your poem
Shows that you are still there



Does He Know

I wonder if he knows
How I feel
Does he know
The way my heart pounds
Each morning
As I log on to the web
How breathless I feel
As I hurry to my mail box
Looking for his name
Can he possibly know
The way my fingers tremble
As I pull up his note
How my hungry eyes
Eagerly devour every word
From the sweet greeting
'Good Morning My love'
To the closing words
'Love ya, Your _____'

I wonder if he realizes
That no matter how often
He sends me e mails
My heart flutters with excitement
As I open and read
Each and every one of them.
Can he feel the happiness
He brings to me
Do my words to him
Clearly show
The smile in my heart
And the twinkle in my eyes
Does he know
That after our sweet goodnights
I wait anxiously
For that very last communication
'Nite, Nite, My Princess'
Then I can go to sleep happy



I Think Of You

When things go wrong
and I'm feeling a bit blue
I lean my head back
Close my eyes and think of you

I picture you in your chair
Your fingers on the keys
As you type out a message
that only I will ever see

Your beautiful brown eyes
are sparkling with delight
As you tell me of the dream
you had of us last night

Your beautiful sexy lips
are curved into a smile
As you tell me sweetly
that you'll see me in a while

When I open my eyes
My blues have gone away
There's a smile on my face
It'll be there all day

My beautiful perfect man
My friend, my sweetheart
I love you now and forever
My love will never depart



You're On My Mind

I think of you quite often
Just a flicker of memory
From long, long ago
But tonight
Tonight your image
Just won't go away
Beautiful brown eyes
Shining and bright
Smiling sweetly at me
Promising heavenly delight
Brown hair, silky and soft
How I long
To run my fingers
Through those curls
Those glorious brown curls
And your lips
Those sweeter than wine lips
How they haunt my senses
Nectar from the gods
Could taste no sweeter
Where are you my love
Are you happy
Do you ever think of us
The way we laughed
The way we cried
And the way we loved
Oh how we did love
It's been twenty two years
Twenty two, long, lonely years
Since you walked away
I still love you, my darling
Oh how I love you
And I will till my dying day



The Picture

The picture
of nearly bare trees
with the ground covered
in red and golden brown leaves
brought back memories
of a time long ago
when as a child
I spent hours
in happy carefree play
Pilling leaves into mountains
then jumping into them
Scattering them
every which a way

Life was so simple
way back then
No meant no
Yes meant yes
You knew that
Sometimes you'd lose
Sometimes you'd win
You stepped off the walk
to let an older person
walk on by
You said Sir and Ma'am
and you smiled politely
as you looked them in the eye
I miss that long ago time
When life was simple
Before people
became obsessed
With the all mighty dime * *

Outside Looking In

Little girl looking so sad
Watching the others laugh and play
Wonders what she did so bad
Thinking of what she heard Daddy say

He said the fight was all her fault
Wouldn't even listen to her claim
Said it was a lie cause she got caught
The story always ends the same

She tries so hard to win his love
He seems to like making her cry
Sometimes she dreams of Heaven above
and wonders if it would hurt to die

She never receives a word of praise
No hugs or kisses, No pats on the head
Maybe he resents having her to raise
She wonders if he wishes her dead

She lives in a family of nine
But she is so lonely and blue
She's ignored most of the time
God, She prays, Tell me what to do

They all know each other so well
But how she feels they have no clue
She wonders if this life is her hell
wants to be happy, Tired of being blue



Sweet Brown Eyes

The days are long
When I'm away from you
I spend the time dreaming
Wondering if you're dreaming too

Time passes slow
When we're apart
My day's nearly over
Before the happy times start

Then I log on
And for an hour or maybe two
All's right in my life
Because I'm talking to you

You light up my world
Turn my grey skies to blue
You make me smile
Sweet brown eyes, I adore you



Eighteen Wheels

When I began driving an eighteen wheeler
I thought I was a big wheeler dealer
Zipping along from state to state
Sometimes early, Mostly late

I seldom made it home to you
Had more important things to do
Did a lot of work, Had some fun
Made lots of friends along my run

Called you on the phone one day
You said Come home I've something to say
Took me a while, A week or two
You would wait, You always do

When I arrived I expected a kiss
You stepped away, Hey, what is this
Who is that woman standing in my door
What do you mean You don't love me anymore

Send her away, I'll make you see
In my arms is where you want to be
You replied
Can't you see She's my Good Luck
She loves me not some Big Ole Truck

While you were off loading skids
She's been here raising your kids
I'm sorry, But you've come home too late
Your Children and I could not wait

My heart was broken
Not another word was spoken
I knew she was there to stay
So I turned and walked away

I still drive a Big Ole Truck
Up and down the road to make a buck
I dream of my Babies and my Man
Sneak around
To look at them when I can

They say
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Here's something for you to ponder
I've lived my life that way
My Baby married another today



Betrayed

My heart was broken
My love had gone away
Vows we both had spoken
He spoke only lies that day

But I had my best friend
I need not be alone
Time with him I would spend
His loyalty he had shown

We went to drink and dance
Said it would help me feel good
I decided to give it a chance
Trust him I knew I could

The liquor eased my pain
Even the dancing was ok
So I drained my glass again
Then I felt the world sway

Time seemed to come and go
Guess it made me feel fine
But I really don't know
When I woke it was day time

Scenes exploding in my head
NO GOD He wouldn't hurt me
But there he lay in my bed
The evidence plain to see

He said Mutual Consent
I knew this wasn't true
Why was my ring bent
and his cheek turning blue

He had scratches on his face
and his upper lip was split
My heart started to race
Please say you didn't do it

Complete trust I gave to you
You were my best friend
Now there's nothing you can do
My trust has come to an end

For a few minutes of pleasure
You hurt your best friend
You threw away a treasure
And I will never understand



On The Wings Of A Dove

Sailing away
On the wings of a dove
Over mountains high
and valleys low
into the silver lined clouds
of the heavens above

My heart rides
On the wings of a dove
Searching the heavens
For just one glimpse
Of a sweet brown eyed man
My one true love

My heart cries for you
I long to hold you tight
My eyes search for you
I can hear your voice
But you are lost
Somewhere in the night



Angels Don't Cry

My son turned to me
with his big brown eyes
'Daddy isn't it sad
the way the night wind cries

It woke me in the night
It sounded like Mommy used to
When you were off somewhere
and she was missing you

Daddy, Do Angels cry?
Is Mommy worried about you
Maybe she's afraid
That you'll leave me all alone too'

I felt the pain of his words
as they pierced me deep
I too hear the wind crying
It won't let me sleep.

I always did as I pleased
I thought it was a man's right
I left my family home alone
While I partied away the night

Suddenly my wife was gone
Taken at the break of day
As usual I wasn't home
I was still at play

I tell my son that Angels are happy
But no matter how hard I try
I can't convince myself
That Angels don't cry



Gentle On My Mind

Poignant memories
of a bygone time
Laced with laughter
Intersperced with tears
Lying gentle
on my mind



Fading Echoes

Fading echoes
of torpid emotions
Winds of vengence
in a sea of fury
Love torn asunder
A ravaged Heart
Once
filled with love
Now
Corroded with hate
Vile vapors
Spiraling down
Smothering
All
That was
Sweet Compassion



Moonlight Ghost

While out for a moonlight ride
I stopped to admire a mountain side
At the top an Indian warrior I saw
Not sure if he was cherokee or choctaw
He stood there straight and oh so fine
I stared at him for the longest time
He looked fierce and proud
I could almost hear him cry out loud
A war chant from times gone by
He was magnificent to my eye
He must have been a chief
His headdress was beyond belief
There were feathers of every hue
He carried a bow and an arrow or two
I glanced away then right back
But he vanished down history's track
I've returned on many a moonlit night
But never again saw that wonderful sight



William


His name was William
He loved me more than life
But I broke his heart
When I said
I could no longer to be his wife
His beautiful blue eyes
Filled with a heart rending pain
Then, this macho man's tears
Began to fall like freezing rain
He reached out for me
But I backed away
My own pain
I dared not let him see
His tears were like lances
Piercing my heart
It was klling me
But I knew we had to part
Only kids when we married
So many years ago
He was happy with our life
But in me
Discontent began to grow
We went our seperate ways
I thought he was as happy as me
A big smile
Was all he ever let me see
Then I got the phone call
At age 36 he had died
I thought my heart would break
Oh how I cried
That was nothing compared
To what happened the next day
The mail brought me a gift and a card
Here's what that card had to say

Happy Birthday to my Darling wife
We may be divorced
But you'll be my beloved for life
I promised to have and to hold
Till death do us part
You left me
But you're still here in my heart



My Sweet Chick-A-Dee

Hi my sweet little Chick-a-Dee
Where have you been
Were you out lookng for me

Now baby what do you mean
you think I was with another bird
Why that's the silliest thing
These old ears ever heard

You know I love you
Cheat on you?
That, I'd never do

I'm here every day
Waiting eagerly
To do everything you say

And every single night
I'm with you
Locked in our nest tight

To your apron strings I'm tied
I can't stray
No matter how much I've tried



Sinking Fast

Today, I'm feeling very blue
Will you reach out and hold me
I need to feel the warmth of you

My heart is sad and feeling pain
My eyes are glassy and swollen
From the tears that fall like rain

I'm losing my way back into the past
Memories are rushing in, I need you
Please hurry, I'm sinking fast



The Past

The past
has returned to haunt me
But you are still gone
as you will always be
I used to think
You were my only reason for living
You were always taking
Like a fool, I was always giving
Losing you
was one of my biggest fears
I only let you see me laughing
I knew how much you hated tears
Last night, I dreamed of you
I was holding you tight
The way I used to
But when I opened my eyes
I knew my dreams
were nothing but wishful lies
I can go for days
Without a single thought of you
Then the memories hit
Piercing my heart, as they always do
Now, I know
you are not, my only reason for living
But if you should ever wish to return
I'll be here, Arms open wide, Heart forgiving



The Sweetest Man I'll Never See

There's a man
As sweet as he can be
He's the sweetest man
I'll never see

I love him dearly
And he loves me
We dream of a life
That can never be

The touch of his lips
Caressing my skin
A wonderful touch
That will never begin

My hand
Touching his face
A heavenly touch
That will never take place

I'll love him
Throughout eternity
For he's the sweetest man
I'll never see



I Want To Baby You

When I read your poetry
so sad and sweet
My heart sheds a tear
with each aching beat

Makes me want to hold you
In my arms oh so tight
Return the sparkle to your eyes
Make you laugh in delight

I'd love to see you smile
In a bright and happy way
To hear you laugh out loud
Would simply make my day



Wish I Could Get You Under the Moon

Wish I could get you under the moon
In a little boat on a big lagoon
We'd make sweet love
All through the night
Then cuddle in the boat
Till morning light

Then we'd row to the shore
And we'd love some more
Then I'd kiss you all over
Till you thought I was a bore

A night in a boat alone with you
Under the moon on a big lagoon
There's nothing I'd rather do
Cuddling all through the night
Making sweet love
Till the morning light

After rowing to the shore
We'd make love once more
There's one thing I know
You could never be a boor

We'd have some breakfast
In a cabin by the lake
You'd be feeling kind of sweet
So you'd bake me a cake

Then we'd pop back into bed
And I'd love you some more
Then I'd fall fast asleep
And you'd listen to me snore

Breakfast with you I would share
More time in bed I would adore
I'd love to watch you sleep
I'd even enjoy hearing you snore

In The Sound Of The Wind

In the sound of the wind
I hear my lover calling
In the sound of the wind
I hear his teardrops falling

The wind moans and sighs
carrying the sound of despair
As my lover cries out for me
From way over there

Here on this mountain
I listen to the wind moan
Knowing, that like my love
I'll be spending my life alone

How can my eyes see such beauty
While my heart feels only pain
How can the sun shine
When my teardrops fall like rain



Silky Darkness

Tonight, Yes tonight my love
You will join me as I walk
in the silky darkness
of the midnight hour
Our path outlined by the light
of the stars high above

You will whisper softly to me
of your undying love
Tell me I am the one you adore
You'll hold my hand
caress my cheek
and swear our love will always be

I'll close my eyes
and savor your touch
I'll feel the warmth
of your breath upon my ear
The only sounds, your whispers
and my contented sighs



Happy Birthday

Dear friend of mine
Once again it's birthday time
I hope you have a day of fun
Filled with blue skys and lots of sun

I wish I could be there with you
So many things we would do
We'd talk all through the day
Many things I'd like to say

Like how special you are to me
and how your face I'd love to see
I'd like to take your hand in mine
and tell you that you look just fine

Though I can not be there for real
I want to tell you how I feel
You are a special friend to me
And you always will be

Happy Birthday my friend!



Bad Hair Day

Mumbling Grumbling
Irritated as hell
My dog ran away
And the cat jumped in the well

My goldfish died
And my car is fried
My hair is going gray
Oh lordy lordy, What a day

Got up two hours late
Forgot an important date
Jumped out of bed
Fell, landed on my head

From that moment on
I've been to hell and gone
Grabbed a meat stick to eat
Halfway through,
Saw it was a doggie treat

Every word a mumble
Every step a tumble
I wait with great anticipation
The end of this day of frustation

Now night is falling
I hear my bed calling
Goodnight one and all
Time to answer sleep's call



Are Angels Crying?

Raindrops falling gently
From the skies
Like the teardrops falling
From her eyes

She wonders if Angels
Are crying up above
Because they know
She has lost her love

The wind blows
Softly on her face
Drying her tears
Like a touch of fine lace

Up above appears a rainbow
God's letting her know
This too shall pass away
She'll be happy again someday



A Gentle Goodbye

As my friend lay dying
I spent a lot of time crying.
She was a thousand miles away.
I thought about her every minute
of every day.
One cold January morning
I woke with a start
I could hear her speaking
to my Heart.
She said,
'I love you my sweet friend
I want you to know this isn't the end.
Please come and by me take a seat.
Let's get this over with
and Dear Mary, please do not weep.
I'm going to Heaven, our Father to see. Oh please dear friend
be happy for me!
When the time comes
and Heaven you reach
I'll be waiting there
on The River Jordan's golden beach.
This fight has been mighty hard
and I am so very tired.
Take my hands and with me pray.
My pain is too fierce to last another day."
I closed my eyes and prayed
as I held her tight.
When I opened my eyes
she was fading from sight.
There was a smile upon her face
Her eyes glowd with God's loving Grace.
Then her image faded away.
I knew my friend had been reborn
in Heaven, that sad, sweet day!
