Lost
I wrote this poem just trying out the poetry thing and I got lots of compliments on it.
hurt
it has been one year since Lyn's daughter, Addie, passed away at age 32. another angel fallen to breast cancer.
Remove The Pain
As I tried to write this the way 'I' wanted it to go,the words would stop flowing but when I took my 'self' out of it,the words resumed flowing.It made more sense to those grieving than to myself and they loved it saying that it accurately describes them (grieving mothers).
Attack on 9/11
Freedom's Call We stand in the cold rain Feeling the intense pain Watching as our brethern die Hearing their final cry Ashes fall all around Drifting slowly to the ground Each cinder a rising soul From an attack so foul Staring into th

days with out
the tear that was shed was not the tear that fell but a glistening slip of tongue held out to dry upon an empty berth of grey knotted to prickly pear a bone white desert sky

Questions I'D Like to Ask Death
A bit strange these thought came to me as I waited to fall asleep so I wrote them down
Hope
I wrote this many years ago after seeing a dear friend struggling with the direction his life was heading ... he had lost all sense of being and had become suicidal ... he had given up on life ... he had given up on himself ... eventually the situation became too much for him to cope with and one evening he after a evening with his closests friends ... he took his life ... I never want anyone to experience that kind of despair ... We must never forget that there is always HOPE ... without it we cease to exist ... This is for you Mark my dear friend ... I wish things could have been different
O Tina, Our Tina
Tina was on another website. We knew she was sick for a while, and that she had just died. We were missing her, and some of us were really hurting, so I wrote this poem.

THE COLORED LIGHT OF WHERE YOU ARE
Dear Frank, impossibly beautiful poet, and my friend of the heart, dying unexpectedly, as was your always surprising ways, Aug 12, ~I miss you like the sullen empty sky must miss the gleaming stars awash the night... Wherever you are, I'm sure you must be outshining the rest...And wherever you are, I feel you drifting the corridors of our endless connected hearts. Dear Love, Dear Love. Dear Love.

Death ' 101 '
I have read this poem many times since putting it to paper. Each time it brings me peace.
Why, I Ask
This is not reality ... this was written in a response to a challenge by my lovely lady
Joseph Smith and Mountain Meadows
Called "the darkest deed of the 19th century" the brutal 1857 murder of 120,men,women and children at a place called Mountain Meadows in Utah remains one of the most controversial events in the history of the American West. Many Mormons ordered,planned and participated in the massacre... The Vision was a poem written by Joseph Smith...

TRIBUTE TO A DYING FRIEND
As told in the poem, a true story.
In The Light
Loss
The Darkest Rose
Such is an emptiness now found in the New England woods this time of year. Visting the grave of my mother, this sonnet is very darkly reflective of my suffering a deep loss, followed by a timeless bitter mourning from a death so deeply personal. Perhaps only in our dreams can such sadness be balanced by the celebration of another happier time in life and also with the hope of her eternal love.
i appoligize for how i sometimes am
And i appologize for way i sometimes act,im just all alone in a world where everything i loved seems to never stay and makes it hard to sometimes not lose my way. Now in a new place i have to start all over again,as my soul sometimes cries for it all

Good Bye Dear Friend
In memory of a very special woman: Donna W. Dear friend of 22 years. I found out tonight my dear friend had passed from an ongoing struggle with lung disease. The end came quickly and it's a reminder to us all to live well, laugh often and love without condition. Yesterday was the one year anniversary of the sister's passing. If there is someone you haven't forgiven in this life, do it. If someone seeks forgiveness from you, grant it. It's a win win situation. A moment of silence for all of us feeling the sting of loss right now. Blessings.

In Memory of Sandy Hook School
Shortly after I lost Momma I was online going through poetry pages and I came across this. The poem itself is amazing but it was the picture behind it. It could have been the farm I grew up on ... the lake, the little island everything was perfect. Shivers went up and down my spine and I knew Momma was still with me. I have kept a copy of this with me ever since and shared it with many who have have needed it.
there is no label just love for the children
there are not enough words to describe the pain, the anguish of loosing a child but when I found out that those children were the same age as my girl I fell. my heart goes out to the state to the families and to the angels.
The Old Man
Shortly after I first left home, (many, many moons ago lol), I was livig in Montreal in a little apartment, in an old house, on the 2nd floor, with the kitchen table set in bay windows overlooking a park. I spent a lot of time sitting at that table and this poem is a true story. It was almost 6 months later that I wrote it, and I actually had it published in one of the Eastern Townships Newspapers.

Into these poems I put my thoughts My feelings The why life has led me on Should I go this way or the other path way Which is best the left or the right path way My future I do not know what is instore only the future will no I know my pa
Paw Prints On My Heart
This was for Gino,a ferret, I first met at a ferret rescue event. He was a dark eyed white. He had been so badly treated by children ( flung around by the tail, etc) and I guess he finally bit so they cut his canine (eye) teeth off. OUCH! Poor little boy. He was totally deaf and blind in one eye. You would think he would hate people. But no, he was the sweetest, most loving little thing you ever saw. The last three years of his life he never saw a cage. He shared the cat's litter box, and sometimes bed lol. Gino used to get in my purse and go out with me, and oh he loved the grass. he would roll and roll. I just know that over the Rainbow Bridge somewhere Gino is playing in some big green field.
Eternity
written for a friend who was just told she has three months leftt to live
