For as you grow you mature into
yourself by separating from
the nest.
You go off to college and
learn what it is like to be
an adult to manage your
money and grow into yourself.
Surprisingly you find your life
coming together.
You are finally a women of your
own time for you know what
you want and you aim for that goal.
I release you my child to begin
your life anew to be the women
you always intended to be.

I am the wind that lifts you up
So you might soar aloft
Spread your wings my love and rise
And be the best you can

I'll be there should you fall
To take away the pain
Wipe your tears, lift you up
And let you soar again

What inspires me April 2012



What inspires me today?
Watching my child kneel and pray.
The warmth of a sunny day.
The critters that come out to play.
Friends that stop by to sit a spell.
The smiles they bring.
The stories they tell.

young is old whilst old be young , we marched the deserts suffered the cold starved to win we are old , we survived lack of food when budgets tight we walked for miles when the car broke down we worked in cold or hot to pay the bills we are young , ancestors to current both endure the same at different times in lifes fate, yet share a tomb or the pillow at night as tommorow will bring a new light

there was a boy that i once knew
now he is alone
and on his own,
he is leaving the nest
to go to a place where he will
hardly ever rest.

he stands so tall
with his back on the wall
and without any reculation
he defends the GREAT NATION!!!

with a gun in hand
looking at his target to kill his enemy
he feels so GRAND
knowing that he can save so many lives
by the pull of one trigger
and without a blink of an eye

he, who is serving this GREAT NATION,
and threw the frustration
you can be sure
there will be domination

cause he is a solider
a true soilder

he has made is family safe
he has made me safe
HE KEEPS EVERYBODY SAFE

he is my hero
and will always be
my hero

this is my brother
this is blood

keeping me safe from harm
keeping all of us
safe from harm

Sometimes its best to leave well alone
Even when your credibility is cut to the bone
Unquestioned comments will fester away
An time will reveal itself in its own way
Never will a word be spent against kin
The cost to high to appease the sin
Respect for the 'laws is all i thought
No need to beg borrow or be bought
I'll stand my ground an hold my head
Never to know the words that were said
Things will never be the same now i know
A lifetime friendship turned into loyal sorrow
A different vision of what you see
A different vision of you to me

Beneath the shade of the frangipani
You spent your hours there
Ciggie butts overflowing
While the wind played
Havoc with your hair
Your vision always blurred
From the past of your despair
But a smile always welcomed
From under your bespectacled glare
Lost in your world
Amongst thoughts an memories
You'd hardly notice a visitor
Until upon you.. you'd freeze
Out with a shreik
Then your focus repaired
Hello daaaarling was your reply
To show that you cared
Beneath the frangipani
Especially in bloom
You mended many memories
An absolved your gloom

early sun shining upon the dew drips of the morning rose blossoms,
past days gone new days begun surprises in the oven ready to be pulled,
eyes shut all my life stuck in dream time from long before,
sudden scream yells at me not thy misses not thy mother,
lunch time comes and a child be born to my surprise a giant he be,
love has gone and days have past the time has come to open thy eye`s,
growing up is a part of life n time, it all will stop when you a wife,
for boyhood will be revived and you will survive with eye`s wide open,
with your children and wife by your side.

i was once a little kid my dreams where my life,
my haunts where my nightmares but i never dreamed of this knife,

i saw there was a chance for me to come true,
in my dreams i was forever werent you,

i never cried i never thought,
that i was a teacher that never had taught,
you looked at me like i was a present,

but that never came true,
i ended being your future,

and thats why i decided to see it through,
in my eyes you seemed like i was alive,

but that was my dream and now i have to thrive,
but never look back and always create your destiny as if it was your fate,

all this was my life that no one can debate,
im living in the now and thats reality,

so listen and learn that i was your child,
not a creature from the attic that was crazy and wild,

youve hurt my past but this is my now,
i know you love me,

but its changed my life i wont regret how,
but im still hurt inside as you can see,

i wont forget you but will you forget me!...
