I've written poetry since age 19. It was the very day my youngest child was born. She was my little angel, and the first several poems I wrote were in honor of the Lord. If it weren't for Him, I wouldn't have such beautiful children. :) / / As poetry broadens, we find that we become not many, but one. No matter how many different poets and poetesses there are out there in the world, somehow we connect, and that is through the vivid words/world of poetry! I'm proud to be part of that family. / / One way we share our poetry is through books. Another is through audio. Rather we read, or rather we listen by ear, we are united as one. / I have published a book this year.. my first poetry book, entitled ''The Heart's Treasures.'' I hope you like it! / http://www.lulu.com/shop/debbie-j-embrey/the-hearts-treasures/paperback/product-22003971.html
What happens when we waken to a world of wealth
We only desire to be that much more wealthy
What happens when we waken to a world of crime
We only expect the worst around the next corner
What happens when we waken to a world of pain
We hurt inside and out and the pain is unbearable
but...
What would happen if we waken to a world of peace
We would be shocked, and wonder how long it will last

oft we tend to go on in life
as we forget the little things
or block out the sad things
that have happened in our lives
but I say, Nay, do not forget
that some things are worth
remembering and bringing back
so we can pursue differently
we have come a long way in life
but we need not to forget
what or who it was
that has brought us this far
my Dad was an inspiration
saying ''you can do it"
and should I just go on
without even a thank you
some things in life are forgotten
so we can pursue in life
but whatever happens henceforth
never forget
those that loved you most

aye
but the warmth I feel
beneath its heart
warms inside of me
as I write
as I breathe
as I indulge
in the beauty
of poetry
yes
the heart of the sun
is so gentle
as it caresses
enlightens me
delights me
thrills me
as the words
come flowing
into my head
aye
I lie here thinking
of birds singing
dogs barking
children laughing
I can't get enough
as I indulge
as I breathe
as I write
about
the sun

when I weep you are my shoulder to lean on
when I ache you take the pains away
when I'm lonely you keep me company
when I'm cold you keep me warm
when I'm sad, you lift my spirits
when I frown, you make me smile
I'm thankful for a sister like you
you do things so many others cannot do
but most of all
when I feel all else fails
you are there
to say
''I love you''

The sun rises and sets
upon your sweet face
a bit of nature
in all its grace
The sun flames in beauty
upon objects below
a bit of kindness
doth it overflow
The sun shines brightly
upon a quiet land
a bit of humility
as I hold your hand
The sun rises and sets
upon your sweet face
a bit of nature
can ne'er replace
The beauty I see
upon your sweet brow
may it shine forever
beginning now

high hopes
looking out
into the beyond
the future
tomorrow
big dreams
wondering
about life
what it could be
what it is
here and now
love bursts
faces smile
explosions
of yet to come
exploring
excited
then comes
the stranger
closer now
hits you hard
knocks you down
life changes
smashed dreams
broken hearts
sweet dreams
forbidden
tomorrow...
forgotten

moon passes over quietly
in the depths of the waters
eagle wings flap

Family, Friends and Fun
Always something to do or someone to talk to
Caring and the fun in sharing
Everyone can find something to do
Bring your best when you enter
Of course, invite others to join the fun
Overlook me when I'm being goofy
Kindness and hugzzz for everyone!

Out in the middle of nowhere
left for ruin
for pain
for nought
Now to face the consequences
all alone
afraid
bereft
Forced to face bad decisions
loss of hope
loss of faith
forlorn

I don't know why
it just happens
then I find myself
hiding
wanting to hide my face
turn away
pretend it isn't real
I just let it be
knowing inside
or somewhere
it isn't right
it was never right
yet the pain is there
I don't know why
so many suffer
without speaking
but go on hiding
their shame, their scars
their pain
I know it well
as I've been there
scarred
inside and out
never again
to be whole
Yes
the pain is real
it happens every day
but to let it
is not by choice
