I started writing again to cope with the loss and grief of my mom, Ginger - Rest in Love Mom ❤️ 2.12.19 / I miss you so much mom, I'm writing and sharing for us. / thank you for reading. / *just logged in again after several years, today is my Moms birthday.
I’ve cried an ocean of tears,
And I know there’s more to come.
Our days on Earth are numbered
They have been since day one.
The tale of good and evil
Began with wanting more,
But all this endless craving
Has only birthed more war.
We were given all that's needed
To live, to love, to thrive.
But we keep taking advantage
And buying every lie.
Our gardens have been poisoned too
With seeds of greed and wealth.
Instead of helping others,
We're taught to serve ourselves.
But I believe that change is near,
And I know you feel it too
That stirring in your spirit
Calling you to truth.
We are the hearts that still can heal,
The voices rising strong,
The ones who walk through shadows
Just to help the light belong.
It starts with how we listen,
With how we choose to care
With reaching out to strangers,
And lifting silent prayers.
We’re waking from the madness,
The hunger and the pain,
To gather up the pieces
And begin to dream again.
Not dreams of gold or power,
But of justice, peace, and grace
Of every child and elder
Feeling safe in every place.
So let the tears keep flowing
Let them water what is true.
Something sacred’s growing now,
And it’s being born through you.
The world may still be aching
But your soul remembers when
We came to mend the broken,
And become the truth again.

Born of a love so bittersweet
Photos of you with your hands on mom's growing tummy
Her sweater says "yes I am" and you look so happy - you also cared for the other two that came with the package - decisions were made some not your own and we packed up and moved to our new home - mom thought you were coming but you had once last go and got into trouble that much I know
Either way your time ended too early for me to find you and tell you " I love you Daddy "

I hope you embraced the time you had, you'll never get it back
I'm trying my best to forgive you for the love and support that you lacked
At the time when our mom needed us most
you turned your backs on us and now you're all ghosts
I hope you'll find peace when it slowly creeps up and I hope that you cry when that pains' in your gut
For me I'm still grieving not only for mom but the loss of the family I thought was my own
But I'm thankful and grateful for every minute I spent holding Mom's hand by the side of her bed
We laughed and we cried and I was able to be with my best friend, my Angel now in Heaven, my Mommy.

A handful of Memories
A cupful of sorrow
A flagon of happiness
Faith in tomorrow
A measure of taking
A measure of giving
A curious jumble
This business of living

Momma?
Can you hear me? Can you hear my lonely cry?
Momma? Can you feel me? I'm all broken up inside
Momma can you see me?
I'll never be the same
Momma I can't wait til the day I see you again

We are the ones who are hard to understand
We'll be the last ones in the movie theatre
because the ending scene made us cry
We'll stop to smell the roses
because they deserve to be appreciated
We are the ones who will take the time
to learn what keeps you up at night
We are the ones who will imagine
an entire future of adventures
with the people who show us love
We are the ones who will love you more
than we love ourselves
We will give you our strongest parts
in hopes that we can make things better
We desire to see you become the best you
to make sure that you always feel our love
We crave affection and appreciation
We give a piece of ourselves away every day
sometimes to people who don't deserve it
Our love is easy to take advantage of
and sometimes we don't get back
the love that we give away
When we hurt, we crumble and fall apart
We constantly have to put ourselves back together
We are more fragile than we like to give off
We carry our emotions on our sleeves
Our flaws have the ability to consume us
We aren't afraid to give you the world
but we are afraid to feel unloved
We want you to see what we see
We want you to understand where we're coming from
We are good people with good intentions
We are stronger than we believe
Not everyone can feel the way we feel
We feel too much, too often
We are not hard to love
We are something not everyone knows how to love
But you need to remember that
your worth does not change just because
no one is there to appreciate you, to remind you
You are not any less lovable
You are the most lovable person in the world
You are a light that the world needs
Your kindness is not your weakness
You do not need to change for anyone's acceptance
You do not need to stop giving love
just because you don't get any back
Your heart is the best thing about you
And one day when you least expect it
someone will notice you from across the room
and know exactly how to love you
They will think all of these things are beautiful
They will deserve the love you can give
They will fill the empty space in your heart
But for now, don't stop feeling
We are the ones who feel everything so deeply
We are the ones who can't give up because
We are the ones who will teach the world
how to love
