Its so hard to say farewell
And overcome this
while feeling slightly frightened
Well now what else could I have felt
As you lay there completely still and silenced
So is there a heaven and is there a hell
Were you able to cast your demons out
Are you relieved from all their weight you felt
Or are they still pulling you down

While I'm surveying you my head hangs low
Did all of our prayers earn you a golden halo
Is there a tunnel of abiding light
I really hope that you now feel alive
Just yesterday we were kids in the fifth grade
Today I lay a warrior down inside of his grave
I want to rejoice in all the good times we've had
Instead a tear rolls down my face when I try to laugh
We're taught to suppress emotions and remove fear
But It's because of you that I am still here
I'm so proud to have served with you my friend
But it's time for you to rest now the battle ends
I will always honor your courage and sacrifice
Until we meet again someday on the other side

You broke my heart
No tears left to shed
In the beginning
No words need be said
We felt the same about each other
Where did all this trouble come from
No tears left to shed
Could It I'm be dead
Or could it be I've been hurt
I was on a natural high
You liked to get high
The texts grew
shorter
One text per day
One phone call at 11pm
Couldn't leave the phone
Tried to call you back
Never would you answer the phone
No tears left to shed
Could I be dead
Going a month without seeing each other
My feelings turning into rubber
My brains working on overtime
I had to say here's a dime
I hope you find what it is that you want
No tears left to shed
Maybe you can find someone to share your bed
For me
consider me dead

It was a cold windy night
As I turned off the light
I heard your voice call my name
I pulled the blankets over my head
The wind was whistling and whipping around
I didn't make a sound
Once again you called my name
I closed my eyes tightly
I felt you brush the hair out of my eyes
I was afraid to look into your eyes
I could feel a tear drop fall upon my face
I knew in my heart it was you
In a low whisper you told me I would be okay
Said you didn't have much time to stay
I opened my eyes only to see your beautiful blue eyes
Oh how I miss you so
Tears rolled down my face
You kissed away my tears
You took away my fears
I asked why you ?
Why couldn't you stay with me ?
Why did God take you away ?
You promised me you were in a better place
You gently kissed my lips
The winds no longer were whistling and whipping around
My eyelids grew heavy
I felt at peace
my heart didn't hurt so much
You took my hands into yours
Told me you loved me so
All the racing thoughts went away
I fell into a deep sleep
When I awoke I was alone
I thought I could smell your cologne
Was it a dream or did you come to me
In my deep time of need ?

As we age~
As we grow older,

The minutes and the hours~
The days and the weeks~
The months and the years~
Seem to pass as quickly
As the blink of an eye.

Life seems to be passing us by,
And we think sadly~
"It is over!"

Our memories become our life line,
Our only connection to the world.


But then a miracle occurs;
And we find another lonely heart
That has been floating alone
In a sea of memories~
Searching for something or someone
To keep them from drowning.

Two strangers meet.
They come from two different worlds.

They join hands and hearts.
They join bodies and souls.

And time somehow slows down,
And gives them the opportunity
To again dream~
To again feel~
To again love!

Streaks of pink and gold in the sky
Sparkling silver intricate spider webs
As the shining sun bids night goodbye
Waking the inhabitants from their beds

Songs drifting from high in the trees
While the Fairies bathed in the dewdrops
Glitters like bright diamonds on gossamer wings
Green frogs on lily pads hopped

Spirits were high as the new day began
Clean and fresh promising everything anew
Colorful dragon and butterflies flitted over the land
Sipping the nectar of the colorful flowered jewels

Sprinkling on each a touch of fairy dust mist
Yellow Buttercups, Pansies, Roses and Violets
Giving each of them a light kiss
Then flying on through the golden sunlight

Another day in the Glen had begun
Bringing a new promise from the morning sun.

---- IMAGE REMOVED because photobucket.com no longer allows embedded images ----Pictures I found in a box at home
Frozen images of a boy and a time long gone
Im flying a kite over a snow covered field
Behind me my grandfathers barn rest on a hill
His old tractor colored with rust and its tires are flat
I got my first BMX bike the spring after that
I would ride it up and down the clay covered roads
Staring far in the distance awaiting my dad to come home
Heres us standing next to a stream near the home we all made
Running along our old junkyard and the corn fields where we played
Some pictures are faded and yellowing from mold
Stealing the boy who was warm and now shivers cold
A boy who was always amazed with wondering eyes
Even when he awoke his dreams never would say goodbye
So I placed a new picture inside of the box
One I set on the bottom and replaced the old top
And now when I look I will always see us together
In this picture we took as a family last December
It was a beautiful day under a clear winter sky
A picture I hope that my children will find

This old coffee pot
needs cleaning but I
guess it can wait til
tomorrow
The weeds have grown
up around the house
and the bank won't let
me borrow
You're the last tear
shed in my weary heart
and has long since
dried
All that's left is this
old man whose youthful
years have died
It's not good to live alone
taunted by so many regrets
An apology to the Almighty
for renigging on my debts
Still, a memory of you slips
into my day and I toy with
some truth or lie
But that kiss from you can
never deny you're the last
tear I ever cried~

So your heart is broken but your feet are fine
I'll follow your lead or you follow mine
We don't have to be perfect for each other
We just have to dance with one another

No matter what your pain, your aches or tears
Music will soothe the hurt and fears
Listen, let go, forget and dance like mad
Music makes the feet and soul glad

Dance with me and ease the stresses today
You choose the music and let it play
To the rythm let your body move
With music you have nothing to prove

Dance with me, though you are a thousand miles away
Rock to the beat, make your body sway
Hear the music talk to your bones
Listen to all the different tones

Dance with me and it will all vanish in thin air
Every doubt, hurt, stress and biggest fear
Dance with me! Come dance! You hear Dance!
Hey why won't you just take a chance!

I didnt physically bury my lover today.
I buried my heart, that's lost and fraid.
I buried a soul, that's withered away.
I buried a love, that's departed astray.
I buried a mind, that is lost in space.
I buried a spirit, that use to have grace.
I've buried a beauty, that's faded with age.
My heart, mind, body & soul....i surrender!!! I live no more..

Sorry children, but it's all true..
On December 15,2012 it's all going
down..
At 7:00am. when you walk out to your
front porch to pick up the morning
paper in your slippers the sky will
be an errie red..
You won't think to much of it til you
hear strange sounds getting louder from
beyond the hill..
You shut your door and peer through the
keyhole and you can make out strange
creatures bounding accross the fields..
Hundreds of them..no..thousands..
In a minute you can make out the forms
charging like lighting..
They are vicious hounds from hell with
red eyes and dripping saliva blood..
Suddenly, a clap of thunder shakes the
earth and lighting splits your neighbors
house in two..
You notice that a few of your neighbors
have begun to drag the streets like zombies
and their eyes have been burnt out of their
heads..
You run to the phone to call your husband at
work but the line is dead..and so is he.
Meteorites begin pounding the earth and hail
stones weighing 700 pounds are crushing
buildings like match boxes..
The earth has shifted off it's axis and the sun's
radiation is burning all plant life like tinder..
The moon has cracked apart and the stars are exploding in violent colors
People are coming up out of their graves and trying
to sell you a life insurance policy with low premiums..
You watch the weather man on TV turn into some green
slime and then pop like a bubble..
Your bottom lip begin to drip down on your big toe
and you notice that the cat has run off with your
breasts..The mailman knocks on your door and when you
answer he's nothing but a skull with snakes running
through his eye sockets
You vomit in his face and he thanks you..but still delivers
the mail..
Soon the hounds of hell are tearing your house apart
and their salva is an acid burning holes though the sidwalk..
Vultures with hellish screeches and wings seventy feet wide
begin snatching up bedazed towns people and soaring them up
into clouds of fiery ash
More mutants rise from the dead and grow wings
Flying at sonic speeds..
You begin to feel your body change into deaths
breakfast
You have become super strong and you run down the street
and rip the neighborhood bully's head off just for kicks..
The earth splits in half and you ride into deep space on what was left of your peaceful habitat
The world is now only 300 feet wide and a confused duck along with your mother-in-law blazes into the
eternal night
The moon? Gone.
Your new lawn mower? Zip
The hot chick chick you were
dating? She's history.
Welcome to 2012!
