You were always there
for me when hard times
came our way

From the first time
our eye's met you have
had my back and cared
for me no matter what

Even when I made mistakes
it was you who showed me
the wrong I had done and it
was you who help me better
myself

There is no price or bounty
of riches that would allow
me to repay you for all
that you have done

through the years we have
weathered many storms and
together we have faced them
all head first

you have planted my roots to
keep me grounded while at
the same time left them loose
enough for me to fly

So thank you MOM for shaping
me into the man I am today
and remember that it was your
love that kept me strong

I LOVE YOU

I wish I could sleep
my eyes open starring in the dark
listening to the noises and voices
now the telephone is ringing
shrill laughter is torturing my ears
someone turns the volume on the TV up
great, all I need is a headache
I close my eyes trying to transition
to a quiet, peaceful place
I pull my pillow over my head
I am so tired so tense so on edge
I toss and turn on my make shift bed
it feels like for hours and hours
Finally things seem to quiet down
My eyes closed my hands folded
I say a silent prayer
and slowly drift of to sleep

I DO LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THIS EARTH,
I GIVE MY TIME MY LOVE,MY LIFE TO THE ONE I LOVE..
I TURN MY BACK TO ALL MY FRIENDS & JUST BE WITH
YOU,

I NEVER THOUGH THAT I MAKE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE
OF MY LIFE....TO LOVE & WORSHIP YOU ...
THAT SOMEDAY MY LOVE FOR YOU IS KILLING ME.

HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO MY HEART?HEART THAT FULL OF GOODNESS
HEART THAT ONLY TO LOVING YOU IS MY MISTAKE?
I LOVE YOU..MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY!I EVEN DON'T CARE
WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY..JUST..ALL I KNEW IS I ADORE YOU..
SEPARATION???DO YOU FEEL THE PAIN? OR..YOU ENJOY ..YOU USE
ME TO COVER YOUR ANGER TO ANOTHER LOVE...LOVE THAT YOU
HAVE EXPERIENCE ...NOW YOU BRING TO MY HEART & YOU MAKE ME
CRY AS WHAT YOU CRIED ON THE PAST..

DARLING...IT'S NOT ME THE ONE WHO MADE YOU CRY..
I LOVE YOU & I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU..
I OFFERED YOU MY LIFE..JUST TO SHOW MY LOVE TO YOU..
SEPARATION IS NOT MY WAY OF BEING FORGET THE ONE
I LOVE..

LEAVING ME IF YOU ARE HAPPY FOR THIS..
BUT REMEMBER..WHEN YOU ARE FAILED TO THE LOVE
YOU HAVE CHOOSE ..I'LL ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU..
YOU ARE THE LOVE THAT ..GOD..GIVE TO ME..



Edna~Yuri.

She walks into my thought like a flash strong;
A new way opened up in the dark night
Leading to her ever present memories along

With the past records; sorrows, pains, joys bright –
Light and shade of moments memorable
Covering the whole range my mind can cite.

She walks into my mind like a warble,
Never such a ballad heard in the past
As is music unseen and audible.

To me only a difference they cast.
The sweet reminiscences of her love
And affection flash upon my mind first

And then from my heart the pains to remove,
I fly with her to her blissful dream cove.

My mother's brother is my uncle
And my dad married my sister
My brother ran off with my mother
My niece hooked up with my nephew
And I'm totally confused

“Grandma Bertie”

I see her in the sunlight
On a bright, clear, day
I see her milking cows on
A farm in her younger days,

I see her in the sunlight
In her kitchen making bread,
Chasing 17 children who’s
All wanting to be fed.

I see her in the sunlight
With the church doors open wide
I can hear her singing hymns
Like the sweet by and by

I see her in the sunlight with
Grandpa Alston by her side.
Their hair is turning grey now
With lots of Grandchildren
About 105

I see her in the sunlight at
Her home on Butterbean Ridge
She took in a dog named Racheal,
And was really glad she did

I see her in the sunlight sitting
Alone in her rocking chair
Grandpa Alston passed away now,
It’s been about 6 years.

I see her in the sunlight feeling
Tired and all worn out. She say’s
My children, I feel soon I’ll no
Longer be about.

I see her in the sunlight. Again
The church doors open wide. Her
Sons are carrying their mother
Through the church doors one
Last time.

I see her in the sunlight with a
Heavenly Glo on her face.
She says if anyone to join me,
God’s Path they must take

I’ll always see her in the sunlight,
On a bright or cloudy, in the
Wind,snow or rain. She’ll
Always be in my Heart to stay.

Written for my Grandma who passed away

Sitting,waiting
Just contemplating
Listening to my son playing video games
"I will train the animal!"
That's what the video game said
I didn't mean my son was an animal

Now neglected, the family returned
Time to move on, some past burned
Memories would linger, never erased
Yet these moments in time, act dazed

The heart of the home, had already left
Over the years, no more than guests
Passing through till today, now it ends
For this short time, they'll not defend

Each other- now pressure, joins the mix
Emotions are high, and feeling sick
They try to push on, but memories halt
Pleasures they remember, comfort is sort

Whatever the outcome, it has to be
Closure a journey, but whatever they see
Jolts from childhood, stirred come alive
Aware that in future, only memories survive

One day sooner than later I hope
A return journey I must learn to cope
Put aside the unpleasant history
And regale within my own story
Learn about the blood within
Of unborn relationships of no sin
A stranger no doubt is what they see
But in my heart is their identity
Can never remove that part of me
It's buried deep no one can see
Only then will I ever understand
The essence of me and my hand
Why the beauty of nature compels me so
To paint a picture of words you know
Admire the mountains with a unique intense
Imagine the freshness it just makes sense
Seek out all I need to learn
My birthplace my identity my yearn.......

This is the time of year,
That most people love!
May it be so, every day of the year
Cos its when we wish everyone!

Let's all be like children!
Children of one mighty God!
Greeting and smiling away
Sorrow or hatred, strife and pain!

Let's have all this positivity
Right throughout the year!
When we will hold all close
To our hearts, in truthness!

Help us God to perfection.
To be Your perfect children!
Make You happy as Jesus did!
So let's Pray ''God bless us ALL"
