The kids are raised,left the nest, and now I’m all alone.
The thought of life without them is chilling to the bone.
Their life is just beginning as they take their solo flight.
I watch them as they take the leap and fly plain out of sight.
Tears of joy and sadness possess my every thought.
For them I am [...]

A smooth red gown flowed amongst the floor as she gave her last goodbye,
Red lips slipped into a kiss of farewell.
She gave him the token of her silk, white, handkerchief
Embroidered with the initials of her pure innocence
She cried for the traveling soldier
Dressed in blues
White navy cap
He promised her with broken words
Someday soon, I will be [...]

Where yet?
I don’t know
But it needs to be soon
Will you come with me?
We can be together
Away from drama
Away from all the pain
And all the people who judge us
Away from the stress
Away from it all
You and me
Me and you
We don’t need anyone else
Just us

When ever you opened your mouth to sing
the people listened closely as you transformed their world into a dream!
Your songs carried special messages across the world, to the homes of every man, woman boy and girl
You had so much love for God’s earth an trees,the beautiful flowers, birds and seas!
With a heart as big [...]

I am here now, and gone tomorrow.
Today I celebrate, tomorrow I shall sorrow;
This “I” is reality today –
Tomorrow, my friends and family will cry in dismay,
For this moment is the now;
To the next moment I must bow.
And I know that tomorrow may never be,
That by then I may have moved on to see:
New worlds, new [...]

Drama Friends Homecoming Graduation Proms
When there is drama everything goes wrong
You well find your best friends and you might be together in the end
Rodes are rough but don’t give up
High school relationships come and go
When you are quiet drama will never show
Show an effort and A’s and B’s will come
High school is full [...]

I miss the times when i could sit and smoke eyes bloodshot
with no worries
just knowing you are with me
now that you are gone
my life has stopped
i sit in my room alone and confused
of whats going to happen
anxiety creeps always
making me sad and scared
i hate the night now
because of my constant fear of the unknown
i hate [...]

FAREWELL, and when forth
I through the Golden Gates to Golden Isles
Steer without smiling, through the sea of smiles,
Isle upon isle, in the seas of the south,
Isle upon island, sea upon sea,
Why should I sail, why should the breeze?
I have been young, and I have counted friends.
A hopeless sail I spread, too late, too late.
Why should [...]
