Grief every where--written by me in 2008

I feel like Grief every where
Iam in such disperse
you can't touch it
you can't pin point it,
but it there,

I feel like Grief every where
I feel like Iam hanging on to a tree
come, come rescue me
this is how anger feels
like it eating away at me,

I feel like Grief every where
Iam in such disperse
I feel like Iam standing
in the hot desert sand
come help me, take my hand,

I feel like Greif every where
this is how I feel when God
changed my life plan
how much more of this
can I stand,

I feel like Grief every where
Iam in such disperse
I feel like the weight Iam caring
gets lighter every day
you will come comfort me?
you say?

I feel like Grief every where
this is how I feel
my friends and God help
drive the Grief away
only to wake up and find Grief
waiting for me other day

I feel like Grief every where
Iam in such disperse
you can't touch it
you can't pin point it
but it there
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,this poem was wriiten my me 8 years ago when
my husband passed away. Iam doing much better now 2012

DEATH

DEATH-----
WE THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY
WE SEE YOU IN SOMEONES SMILE OR WAVE
WE SEE YOU IN ARE PHOTOGRAFES
IT MAKES US MISS YOUR LITTLE LAUGH
WE STOP AND THINK YOUR DEATH NOT REAL
I TRY SO HARD TO SMELL YOUR SMELL
I TRY TO THINK HOW YOUR SKIN DID FEEL
YOUR DEATH STILL DONT FEEL REALLY REAL
WE COMFORT EACH OTHER NIGHT AND DAY
IN HOPES ARE GREIF WILL GO AWAY
BUT THEN HERE GOES THOSES FEELING
ALL OVER AGAIN
YOUR LIFE WITH US WILL NEVER END
YOU'LL STAY RIGHT HERE IN ARE MINDS AND HEART'S
YOUR MEMORYS FROM US WILL NEVER DEPART
THESE ARE JUST THOUGHTS IAM HAVING OF YOU
I JUST THOUGHT ID WRITE DOWN A LINE OR TWO
I JUST REALLY LOVE AND MISS YOU
IAM JUST SAYING YOUR DEATH
FOR ME, WAS REALLY HARD TO GET THROUGH
BY CHARLOTTE--2004

A Long Haired Angel

A long haired angel,
staring back at me,
she looks so happy she looks so free.
She looks so peaceful
hanging out in that tree,
oh I wish, she was still here with me.

A long haired angel,
her eyes are closed,
I love the way she stood, and the way she posed.
Now that she has,
gone away,
oh I wish, I had the nerve to say.

That long haired angel,
I miss her so.
I wish she did not,
have to go.
Her brain was not
in the right place,
oh I wish, I could just touch her face.

A long haired angel,
is up above,
that is where she thought she belonged.
She took her life
with a rope and a tree,
Now she feels, so nice, nice and free.

That long haired angel,
I miss her so.
I wish she did not,
have to go.
Her brain was not
in the right place,
oh I wish, I could just see her face.

Key

Don't lock your
heart away put it
out there to stay.
No chains around
it keeping
it safe.
Place it out
on the table
for all to
see for they
can know the
real me.
Take this
note as you must
i say love
or B U S T!

A Soldier's Cross

A Soldier's Cross

The soldier had honourably met his fate
And as he stood before the gate,
He thought he would forever wait
But his name was found atop the slate.

He asked if he would be sent below
For having to kill his country's foe,
But then was told an emphatic No,
Straight to the Lord with honour go.

You have given your precious life,
To help free others from hellish strife
Leaving behind both child and wife,
For this you will be given eternal life.

Long ago a battle was valiantly fought,
And in so doing an example was taught,
To His people who have never forgot,
With His life our forgiveness was bought.

In Heaven soldiers will be everywhere,
For they gave that others might fair
With peace and love for all to share,
But a soldier's cross is heaviest to bear.

Forever Rose

Forever Rose

At the prom he gave one red Rose,
For as the love in his eyes shows,
He desired everyone should know,
This is the Lass he will not let go.

He never wanted to leave her side,
They had a love neither could hide,
She was the rose of his heart,
They vowed they would never part.

She was his own sweet sixteen,
The prettiest thing he'd ever seen,
His best friend and sole sweetheart,
Surely Heaven's finest work of art.

Then tragedy took them far away,
Back home forever both to stay,
As late September's roses died,
They were laid together side by side.

Heaven welcomed with open arms,
These newlyweds,safe from harm,
This young man that she chose
And she his only Forever Rose.

About this poem:
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.

Sing Sweetly Darlin'

Sing 'Santa Maria', for the time has come

Sing 'Santa Maria', all the work is done

Lay down by the river, until the day has flown

Lay down by the river, until the light has gone

Sing sweet my darlin', all your cares have gone

Sing sweetly darlin', before you leave me alone

I'll lay you by the river, and listen with all my heart

I'll lay you by the river, until it's time to part

~//~

I'll take you to the river, to watch the failing sun

I'll lay you by the river, until the time has come.

About this poem:
This is actually a song I wrote a few years ago. I returned home from the hospital where my father had been rushed with a serious head injury. We were informed that his chances of survival were slim.

I returned home and put on the radio and I heard a story about a farmer who died trapped under a tractor after an accident on a river bank. The farmer's wife was with him and couldn't get any mobile reception to call the flying doctor, nor could she drive back for they arrived together on the tractor. She lay beside him until he died in her arms.

I picked up my guitar and wrote this song in the style of a Celtic lament.

Dont talk about tomorrow

Don’t talk about tomorrow
Just talk about today
So I say why
Ill worry about it anyways

Don’t talk about tomorrow
Just talk about today
But what if or how
Is it to much to ask
don’t worry about my life
is that what you trying to say?

Don’t talk about tomorrow
Just talk about today
Should I hide my money
Or stock up on my food
Oh God , I am trying to trust you
is that what you want me to do

Don’t talk about tomorrow
Just talk about today
Well maybe I need more clothing
Or maybe lots of new shoes
What is that you said God
All my stuff is not for me
But it all for you

Don’t talk about tomorrow
Just talk about today
Well love come my way
I want a mate now lord
Oh God you say , be patient
And get down on my knees and pray


Don’t talk about tomorrow
Just talk about today
Why is my Aunt now dieing
she only 73 ,,I trying to say
And again God says

Don’t talk about tomorrow
Just talk about today

Human

The wind, comes in the night to bring mass death, the sound sirens silenced in a flash of destuction, sleepy, dreaming in my bed, safe in my home, realizing life is not writen in a tomb, the raging storm, black like the deep,blasting through town killing people in there sleep,I run out side not even dressed the sound now is smoke detecters and people in destress,looking around i see nothing familiar, I must act, must try, theres a 11 yr old on my lawn about to die, get her in the car,but were not leaveing,theres no road,how to stop the bleeding, what someone there? yes someone in there underwear, all around now people lost and dead, wandering in the street, NO the 11 yr olds dieing, bleeding gasping i just start crying, " Stay with me please hold on"but i realize this act is done, Sun , lite, destuction all around, words cant express the suffering that abounds, life changeing , altering the mind, joplin is gone tonight, I hope you like my ryme.( Real experience of my brother here in joplin) .

a life that once was

Here I am just an egg, unknowing of what may become. Here I am an egg all sunglley warm, as I start to grow. Here I sit for 21 days to await my mothers eye. Here I am I quietly peep and listen for my mother to speak. Here I am breaking through this shell to feel my mothers sweet bill. Here I am one week old and so cold. Here I am or am I ?
