In the Quieter Moments

In the quieter moments I sometimes hear the whisper of your gentle voice on the wind and I want to cry because I no longer can hold you. I walk the spots we once shared and feel you there and a tear falls because I can no longer see you smile. As

Forever Rose

Forever Rose

Intending to modify the Rose,I elected to write a whole new poem to compliment "A Postcard From Heaven" which I posted in Grieving Mothers.However this poem is posted in a memorial site for the two teens who were killed nearly two years ago(?).The mother friended me on FB because of poems I posted there.She was having trouble coping and my poem helped her see her daughter's death in a different way,which is the best reward I could get.

This Is Me

This Is Me

Everything I need to move forward in life is denied me because I wasn`t born rich, nor am related to rich, nor auditioned for American Idol or America`s Top Model (And I don`t even like modeling), but the point is, I keep asking, I try to be cheerful, but when I hear no, we can`t help you, my self esteem plummets. When I hear "Oh your a musician?" No, not really. I can`t afford a keyboard, song writing equipt, or even have a place I can sing... When I`m told, I`m great with kids...all I can do is cry because I lost my son, and I can`t afford to have any children now, and never will. What I want, what I dream for, what I bleed and cry for...doesn`t matter.

It was only a dream but it seemed so real

" It was only a dream but it seemed so real"

Seems like only yesterday, We were like brothers. You were bigger than me, Always watching out for me, Protecting me from the others. Meeting you here seems so real, Im sorry that its the only way. I fold my hands and close my eyes, Oh my
