This is a poem I wrote years ago, just after my mom passed away.
I'd like to share it with all of you today A Mothers Love Mothers are a special breed They fill a childs every need Leading the way with tender loving care A gift that only mothers can share Crying with a scraped up knee Child comes running with a plea Fix it mom so I can play With my friends I want to stay Teenage years filled with growing pain A mother that's almost going insane Asking mom, can I borrow the car I promise mom, I won't go far Off to college to get a degree A mothers tears is what I see Sad to see the child go away Happy to know she led the way

Making Changes
A heart cannot be played like a toy It brings happiness and so much joy A broken heart brings nothing but pain A heavy load with emotional strain We all have problems we choose to carry We try our best and can't seem to bury The memories haunt us every waking day We try to let go and they want to stay Making changes must come from within Reach down deep and you could win All the riches that lie so near Someone to take away all your fear Loving again is not easy to do Trust your heart to see you through Believe in yourself to get it right Soon you'll revel in sheer delight

The Almighty
I walk with Him everyday I listen to what He has to say He leads me where I need to go He has always been there to help me grow He brings me wisdom when I am weak He brings me happiness when things look bleak He helps me make it through the night He makes all my mornings very bright He showed me how to love when I couldn't He made me stop to think when I wouldn't I am His to take whenever need be I will follow Him and be set free

As I eat some of the wrods in my OP, I realized sharing the old is as good as sharing the new.
I find rereading and posting some of my old poetry has been very therapeutic for me. Makes me remember who I was and who I can continue to be.

Last night when I left the computer, I had a strange feeling about a friend. The more I thought about it, the more I thought I should grab my pad and pen......so, I did.
This was the results of my thoughts in verse Friend All the pain you hold From stories never told The tears you've never shed Scared your face may be read The lonely restless nights From all your inward fights Reaching out to no one Burning from that hot sun Melting slowly in the sand If you'll only grab that hand Trust you have a true friend With always an ear to lend Someone else to hold your pain And the tears that you refrain To ease your beautiful soul While you grow back into whole

Walk On
When I walk through that door And not a day before Do not cry for me As I am finally free There will be no more pain And no longer will I complain Life has been hard but good Sometimes a bit misunderstood Find the beauty in what was And push on because You have today Tomorrow find your way The strength I know you possess In all that you caress Be that driving force And steer your own course Make your future bright For I have taken flight Smiling from above While soaring like a dove

Quote:
I'm a mother and I raised my sons - pretty much on my own. So when I see someone pay tribute to their mother - for all the things we do, our strength, our willingness to love our children in spite of their successes or mistakes in life, it brings a smile to my heart! My mother and I, for a longer period of time that I care to openly share about, once did not have a healthy relationship. But we are closer now, as time has moved on and she is a pillar of strength and hope to me. She's 70 now and might not be around for too much longer.... I do all I can to convey how much I love her and forgive her for her frailties (sp?) in life. Thanks for writing your poetry about her and leaving it here! |

Recaptured
Long ago you told me we're through Your heart recaptured by an old view Still your eyes speak to me Not what you say but what I see Your need to follow your heart understood I wouldn't try to change it if I could I'll take each day and cherish our time Knowing any minute it could stop on a dime Losing you not to another soul Hoping recaptured makes you whole I'll not regret a moment with you Having you in my life was a gift come true

This is an old one I thought I'd share from 2006
Make It Real Shed that skin you hide Open up, show your pride Walk out into the light Everything will be all right Grab hold of the old Forget what you were told Reach out for today Wash the rest away Believe in what you feel It has to be real Let go of the pain It brings thunder and rain Push away your fear Stand up and cheer Be who you are A bright shining star

Let It Ride
Sometimes when depression sets in I try hard not let it win It takes from me a happy day Keeps everyone I care about away There are those days when I could curse That's when I know it's at its worse I have to let it ride the tide Or it takes away from my pride Asking others to forgive The way it makes me sometimes live Understand I'm not really cruel Don't mean to treat anyone like a fool Just be a friend and take my hand On those days when I can't stand Help me make it over the heap Long before I sink to deep

Reunion Number One
Butch Femme Planet reunion number one Bonding dancing just having fun Memories being made to last Even if the days go by fast Pictures worth their weight in gold So many stories waiting to unfold Online friends face to face All of us in one awesome place What a way to get to know Some of the things we never show Cabaret night the talent comes out While the rest of us whistle and shout In the ballroom looking grand That's the night to shake many a hand Dancing prancing all around Watching femmes as they astound Raffle tickets being sold For every gift as we've been told Spend your dollars and take a chance You'll want to once you get a glance Together at brunch means it's coming to an end Happiness from all that were able to attend Karaoke for those that stick around Get up and sing no matter how you sound One last chance for you to be bold Bring home stories to forever hold

Wanted
I want your heart soul and mind I'll keep looking until I find The one willing to give it all For that is when I will fall I want a lover and best friend Someone able to make it blend This special lady that I seek Must never be afraid to speak Communication tops my list It is something I must insist I don't need fortune or even fame You don't have to talk a good game Show me what you have from inside out That's how I'll know what you're about Love me deep and love me strong Let me know where I belong Touch my core and we'll connect All my love I will project Faithfulness until the end You'll never see me pretend I am ready to take that leap Also one you'll want to keep
