Everyday Motivation
Some roses are red, Some tulips are magenta, We hardly can believe Four years ago we met ya. Most grass is green, Diamonds and ice are rocks, We hope you enjoy your books, new clothes and socks. Nighttime sky is black, The ocean (I guess) is teal, How lucky we are To have you is so unreal. The sun appears yellow, Boogers are chartreuse, If you were a ****** We'd always pick you!

Child's 4th Birthday Poem
I saw your picture And it still hurts. I wanna let you go But I haven't yet. You were my best friend. How can I forget? Your family was good to me And we said we would always be. I wish I could cry As easy as you said goodbye. Caught between A rock and a hard place Every **** time I see your face. I miss what used to be, And I wish I would set me free. I saw her picture And that made me miss her. An anchor drags me By my neck While I'm still Gasping for breath. The chain's held by a string But I won't reach for anything. I saw her picture And that made me miss her.

It Still Hurts, I Miss Her
You showed me your drawings, And to me they said a thousand words. I, on the other hand, showed you my songs, And they painted a picture for you. It's funny how we show each other what we mean. Even if we use different mediums, Our message is the same: I love you. I always will. I always have.

Webster’s dictionary defines 'jaded' as “made dull, apathetic, or cynical by experience or by having or seeing too much of something.” Let me tell you about my divorce. Left me destitute with no remorse. Thought it was a match made in heaven But how could it be when it was forced? Three months living in a blissful hell There was no way we could tell. My wife left me, abandoned me In our apartment by myself. She said she didn’t love me anymore As she walked out the door She filed for our divorce Using $200 I had saved up, of course. It seemed like she unraveled my universe And as if things couldn’t get any worse She was pregnant with my daughter And tried to keep me away from her. It seemed like every day I was cryin’. I didn’t even care if I was dyin’. Pain was so bad it’s like my heart was ripped out of my chest by a lion. Yah, and it’s like... I just got tired of carin’ And I just kept starin’ At my hands and my feet ‘Cause I got nothing in between I am jaded I am jaded

Your Daily Motivation
My darling, Though our time was short, it was the happiest of my life. The time has come to say goodbye. Until the 16th century, “God be with you” was the phrase people said, and I imagine it had special significance with those in love. So, God be with you, until we meet again. I will miss you terribly during our time apart, but the bitterness of waiting will make our reunion so much sweeter. I love you. Yours forever.

Goodbye Letter
It's been about a week since the divorce finalized. Sleep has fled my eyes, and I've wanted to cry So emotional tension can leave me and let be myself and I. Is there any other reason to steer clear Of my co-worker's relationship troubles and fear While on the outside I smile and pretend to hear Than to continue being friendly over a beer? At least I've got a financial break. I've got a lot of money to make Waiting tables for five days. It can take A lot out of me, but it's worth the physical pain at stake. My knees are sore, and my feet might break From all the walking. And from putting up with all kinds of stupid requests and complaints It's a wonder I don't get baked. At the end of the day, I may not thrive, But I'm lucky I still got a will to survive. So this Thanksgiving week I didn't crash drive When I could have, and it makes me glad to be alive.
