Moving............
Heading north
time to leave this place behind
our memories are rich
no words can define
we're not saying goodbye
because it isn't the end
just saying hello
to unknown friends
our roots are buried deep
within this ground
so returning here
i'm sure we'll be found
but for now we seek
the sun and the beach
and connect with family
who've been out of reach
a new addition
a grandson too
made things easier
'twas our point of view
we packed our tunes
and our instruments too
squeezed the kids in
to experience something new
headed to Qld
the sunshine state
to open our eyes
and seal our fate..........

About this poem:
My cousin an his awesome family after living in an extreme town of bitterly cold and overwhelmingly hot for almost 20 years decided to head back to 'Gods country'..........and start afresh
How Love Feels To Me
My eyes were taken back the first time I seen you
I knew you had captured my heart and soul
I wondered if you felt the same when our hands touched
How does someone explain how our heart feels
I just knew it was you as I held you in my arms
I could not believe how beautiful you were
My heart raced each time I caught a glimpse of you
Is this how love feels as though you can hardy breath
It feels as if you were a part of me and we are one
Just passing thru time like a warm breeze on a spring day
This is how love feels to me
I knew you had captured my heart and soul
I wondered if you felt the same when our hands touched
How does someone explain how our heart feels
I just knew it was you as I held you in my arms
I could not believe how beautiful you were
My heart raced each time I caught a glimpse of you
Is this how love feels as though you can hardy breath
It feels as if you were a part of me and we are one
Just passing thru time like a warm breeze on a spring day
This is how love feels to me

About this poem:
To my children
The Scare
I got the call
Call me said Shane
The next morning I got another call
Your Dad is in the hospital
No explanation of what was wrong with him
I called the hospital to find his room number
Found him in bed and Mom waiting with him
He had a seizure
He can't drive for six months
I ate an omelet Mom made with ham and toast
I watched the Packers beat the Cowboys with Dad
It was the first meal I had eaten alone with them in years
I felt bad
Bad for all the meals I had missed because of bad words
I got some homemade salsa from them
I got a scare
But I got some time I wouldn't have had otherwise
Time with my Dad
Call me said Shane
The next morning I got another call
Your Dad is in the hospital
No explanation of what was wrong with him
I called the hospital to find his room number
Found him in bed and Mom waiting with him
He had a seizure
He can't drive for six months
I ate an omelet Mom made with ham and toast
I watched the Packers beat the Cowboys with Dad
It was the first meal I had eaten alone with them in years
I felt bad
Bad for all the meals I had missed because of bad words
I got some homemade salsa from them
I got a scare
But I got some time I wouldn't have had otherwise
Time with my Dad

Black cars
Mammy is talking in half whispers why won't she let me hear,
She tells me to go out and play ,go on be a dear,
Long grey faces standing still not a pin drop
Where is daddy to take my hand now I'm feeling fear.
Mammys Lips are smiling her eyes no longer the stars,
She been that way for some time now since the day of the black cars.
Mammy I am here for you my tears dried up ive cried for two,
Allow his memory to stay but his spirit to be on its way,
I know mammy you be okay now.
She tells me to go out and play ,go on be a dear,
Long grey faces standing still not a pin drop
Where is daddy to take my hand now I'm feeling fear.
Mammys Lips are smiling her eyes no longer the stars,
She been that way for some time now since the day of the black cars.
Mammy I am here for you my tears dried up ive cried for two,
Allow his memory to stay but his spirit to be on its way,
I know mammy you be okay now.

Though i never had a family, but i trained my little boy with all this principles, it's just me and my son but we're one big family.Kisses to my Sam, my son, love you so much, and RIP to my darling wife.
Here and Now........
Wait for me I'm coming
My journey has been long
My veins hold the key
To the word and the song
Time is but an avenue
I must endure the path
As I look ahead I see me
Relishing in music's bath
Don't worry I am fine
Guiding hands have loved me
I've walked a straight line
There is no reason to betray
There is no reason to belie
Don't worry I am fine
Guiding hands have loved me
I've walked a straight line
Blooming as a flower
The season is just right
My eyes are wide open
There are many on this flight
My confidence is high
My respect at it's best
I'll rub shoulders with them all
And let the music do the rest.........
My journey has been long

I've walked a straight line
There is no reason to betray
There is no reason to belie

The Alcoholics Phase
Growing up was hard, you had to do it fast.
Walking on eggshells, trying to keep quiet, just to please him.
Yelling and screaming back and forth is abuse of the worst kind.
It leaves no visible scars.
Driving you nuts, just waiting around for one last gulp.
Passed out anywhere, anyhow, i don't care.
Hush, hush. Be quiet. Please don't wake up the drunk.

Hush, hush. Be quiet. Please don't wake up the drunk.

From the time I was 8 years old til I was 14 my mom worked 2nd shift and i had to take care of my younger brother and my dad because he was always drunk. When this was published my dad threw me out of the house and didn't speak to me for 4yrs. I forgave my dad and we are very close today.

Most girl obses about how to be the perfect girlfriend
.The truth is that most guys are happy enough just to hav a girlfreind.however,it is important to know that for guys,being respected is the most important thing.Guys want to know that youy think they are powerful and strong.Also do not disregard his complement.If he tells you that he thinks that you are beautiful,don't tell him that u are ugly.You may be acting modest or displaying your own insecurities but to him you are saying that his compliment don't mean a thing.
