Her real father
Crystal Freda Aug 2018
When tears stream down,
He was there.
He gave her a reason to smile.
A reason to care.

She was carried on His shoulder
and seated on His lap.
Her little body shook
as He made her laugh.

When real life kicked in
with her real dad.
She went to her heavenly father
for this was the real one she had.
Wrote this on Father's day

Sometimes
Crystal Freda Jan 2019
Sometimes God puts a comma
because your story is not over.
Sometimes He puts a period,
but He will give you closure.

She's Here
Crystal Freda Mar 2018
Nightmares trembled in her head.
Her heart drummed and her feet raced.
She wanted the dream to end
and to stop being chased.
She screamed as she bounced from her bed.
The little girl jumped and ran to her mom.
Her face was red from streaming tears
and they dripped off her face as she tried to be calm.
Her mother wrapped her arms around her daughter
and hushed her to sleep.
Cradling her small, fragile face
and brushing her tears with just one sweep.
Slowly the little one calmed down to bed
and she lay with her on her chest.
Feeling her heart start to settle,
she closed her eyes now for a rest.

You will heal.
Crystal Freda Sep 2017
In time
you will heal.
In your mind
you will never forget.
In your heart
you will feel.
where it really hit.
Soon pain
will be gone.
It will be real.
It was hard
and wrong
but be still.
In time
you will heal.

Free me
Crystal Freda Apr 2018
This earth                                    
can have you                  
drift into the sea.          
Searching,
wandering
for an answer.
When you are lost,
call on God,
He will make you free.

Scarlet Bellows.
Crystal Freda Sep 2017
Blossoms bellow down.
Down
a
dusky
road.
Scarlet petals
on
the
ground.
Tiny
sprinkles
splashed
and
showed.

Step up
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
She looked at everyone around her
and all she could think was to disappear.

She knew she was alone already,
no relationships or people stayed steady.

Her heart beated alone
and started quickly turning to stone.

Only love or a helping hand
can do more than you think it can.

It can come from anyone
and that's all that needs to be done.

Just a smile or a conversation
can really change this nation.

Wandering Shooting stars...
Crystal Freda Feb 2018
Looking out the window
she wishes on a star.
Closing her sapphire eyes,
and wishing they weren't so far.

Longing that a wish
could fix problems she had.
Wondering if star powder
could erase the bad..

Shooting stars
wandering to and fro.
She watched and wondered
where those stars go.

steer
Crystal Freda Dec 2018
she glared at her
as she disappeared
from her life,
and maybe from her memory...

she never felt loved,
this was a hurt,
but not as much
as it could be...

she lived her life
like any normal kid,
thought of you a little,
not much from day to day.

If you didn't want her then,
she won't want you now,
you left her,
now she will steer you away

Under that smile
Crystal Freda Feb 2018
Under that smile
lies hurt and pain.
Under that smile,
everything's the same.

Under that smile,
she trembles and thinks.
Under that smile,
everything is blink.

Under that smile,
it may seem cold,
but under that smile
she has a beautiful soul.

Morning Rise
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Awoken by the
sun
from a night's peaceful
slumber
Safe in my blankets
under.

Eyes glaze beyond my
window.
Rise of a new
beginning
got me dancing and
singing.

A new day has
begun.
The sun is brightly
shining.
The day is full of
surprises.

Into the mahogany
Crystal Freda Jan 2022
She mustered up the mahogany
clouds and the salmon skies.
A raving reflection on the limpid lake
highlighting the hue in her hazy eyes.

Her tiny toes tickled the tide
brushing back bursts of the bay.
Whirring winds welcomed her hair
to the amplified air it stayed.

Deep daylight drowns dully
into the surrender of the sunset sea.
She steps up as she struts on the span,
her flat feet, and hovering hair are free.

Cherry Tree Sky.
Crystal Freda Aug 2017
Mellow blossoms carry
rose scented smells.
The cherry tree settles
with its crayola petals.

Red chrysanthemums
scattered throughout the field
surrounded by the tree
created so beautifully.

Colors so florid
in the midst of the sky.
Birds soar this colorful welkin.
Delicacy made from Heaven.

If to succeed
Crystal Freda Jan 2019
If I walked a little,
would I walk at all?
If I tried a little,
would someone take my fall?

If I spoke out,
would anyone hear me?
If I made the goal,
would anyone cheer me?

If I made a mistake,
would you help or accuse me?
If I hurt myself,
would you lift or abuse me?

People should never need to hear if
when they are in need.
Reach out in love
in order for someone to succeed.

inside of me
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Inside of me,
your heart is
tangled
with mine.
Inside of me,
our love is
always
divine.
Inside of me,
is full of
fluttering
butterflies.
Inside of me,
you shine like
pearly
skies.
Inside of mine,
our love will
never
subside.
Inside of me,
you will never
leave
my
side.

Understudy
Crystal Freda Sep 2018
She lay in the soft green grasses
surrounded by shady, shabby trees.
She closes her eyes and hears
the sounds of the forest.
Her heart beats with the rays of the sun
shimmering over her blonde hair.
She opens her eyes to fern vines
hanging above on the trees.
Her eyes intake all of nature.
All the greens and many colors.
She smiles and enjoys the day
in the forest exploring.

Growth
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
We all grow.
Pain may hit you,
hurt you,
but you will glow.
Every moment
of your life
you are together
or broken.
Growth puts you
where you need to be.
Hard time approach,
but you always get through...

Wait and Trust.
Crystal Freda Oct 2017
I sit and wait
like a lingering vine
whose fruit hasn't bloomed yet.

Everything is gone
except for God
who knows what He's doing.

I need to trust
more than I think I can
to be brave.

Pain hampers
my aching heart,
I wait and trust.

Someday my spirit
will be full of jubilation
as He planned.

Look down
Crystal Freda Dec 2019
There are some days
you feel kinda down.
When you are staring below,
you should look around.
There are a million petals
glistening violet hues.
There is vibrant green grasses
shimmering with the morning dew.
Butterflies are spreading
their wide, flashing wings.
Blue birds are chirping
along as the spring sings.
So admire the beauty.
Let it open your heart.
Once you are refreshed,
then that is a start.

Waiting by the flowers
Crystal Freda Sep 2018
Her petite body sat on the bench.
She waited for mother to be done.
As her mother picked all pretty flowers,
she sat patiently glazing at each one.

Her white dress glimmered
with her rosy red matching the flowers.
Her thoughts and imagination
grew within the second hour.

Soon interrupted in her thinking
came a small, soft ball of fur.
Its ears perked as it rubbed her dress
and soon began to purr.

Her small, smooth hand
brushed lightly against the kitty.
Her fur was quite warm and mellow,
and her sunshine eyes were so pretty.

Mother was now done,
and the girl took her new furry cat.
She grabbed her mother's hand,
and they carried the blossoms back.
179 · Jan 2019
Hope for Someday
Crystal Freda Jan 2019
She has hope
even when seemed lost.
She wanted to be happy
no matter the cost.

Her thoughts were dark
even in the brightest of times.
She tried to look and feel okay,
but her heart just couldn't shine.

She still has hope
but she will find it in her own way.
She doesn't have to find just anything
to brighten up her day.

Scenic Course
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Across the wavy seas
I see everything.
On this boulder
I stand amazed
along with the breeze.

Skies so potent and scenic,
The trip took awhile,
but I made it
and it was worth it,
but should never be repeated.

Every rock covered in green
leads to a path
and curvy roads
that leads to castles
ever so beautiful and foreseen.
176 · Jan 2018
In this Place
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
I lift my hands.
I bow on my knees.
I look up high
and sing melodies.

My heart beats for your praise
and I shout out your name.
I feel like nothing,
but you still love me the same.

My eyes fill with tears
and they fall on my face.
You pick me up
and take me to our special place.

I seek you
as you shine your light.
You keep me safe
from the darkness of the night.

I stand by You
and not by myself.
You wrap me in your arms
and I don't want to be anywhere else
175 · Jan 2018
Smile Today
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
You should smile today.
You should remember
how long you have
lived to stay.

Some people did not make
it to this date
but somehow you are here,
you are well and awake.

You saw the sun shine bright
when you started your day,
and you were able feel something
as you read this write.
174 · Feb 2018
Go there
Crystal Freda Feb 2018
Stand tall
and embrace it all.
Break every wall
and get up after every fall.

Be strong,
and move along.
Erase every wrong,
wait, it won't take long.

Take time to love,
and flutter like a dove.
No matter how tough,
you are enough.
174 · Sep 2017
Falling Colors.
Crystal Freda Sep 2017
Colors so florid
all around her.
Flaming hot, torrid
causing emotions to stir.
Breathing autumn mist air
with pine and subtle oak trees.
She glares and stares
as her hair brushes with the breeze.
Her eyes partake the flamboyant
sights straight ahead.
On to her voyage
where the colors have led.
172 · Nov 2018
Spoken love
Crystal Freda Nov 2018
Is she cherished to you?
Is she is in your heart?
Do you miss her
when you guys are apart?

She patiently waits alone
for you to text her good night,
but nothing ever comes
and it leaves her in a fright.

Do you even care anymore
to brighten her day?
She needs to know she is loved
in order for her to stay.

She needs to know she is special
and she's needs to be told
that she is more precious
than a million pieces of gold...
171 · Jan 2018
She lived her life
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
She climbed every ridge
every step
every rock
and conquered every bridge.

She has cried many tears,
lived many days
many times
and overcame her fears.

She has lived her span
a great one,
an amazing one,
and she's done all she can.

Enjoy Your Today
Crystal Freda May 2018
Tomorrow may be unknown,
that's why we make today last.
Enjoy your today,
and enjoy your past.

You never know when time ends.
Just live a full life of today,
just don't rush it,
do it your way.

Life is a one chance,
you never know what it may bring.
Just watch it pass by,
and explore everything.

Heavenly Night Dreams
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
A snowy midnight moon
glazes over your window.
Ice cold winds try to breeze in
with a rushing flow.

Peaceful dreams encounter you
with an angel's sweet voice
calming you from the brisk winds
and effecting you to rejoice.

Dreams bringing such positivity
and wondrous light
Glorious stars settle in the skies
for this magical night.

Angels sing such amazing songs
floating in your dreams.
Wings ever so heavenly
like radiant, sparkling beams.

Rest is taken softly
on this chilly Christmas night
where angels are flying
with magic ever so bright.
170 · Aug 2017
Someone is There.
Crystal Freda Aug 2017
I love you to the moon and back.
    It's amazing when you think about that.
    It's amazing how I think you are a star.
  Especially when we've come so far.
You've held my hand for so long.
You've been there all along.
You had my back in every way.
You always decided to stay.
I don't know what I do.
    If I knew I didn't have you to run to.
We all need someone.
168 · Aug 2017
The moon watching below ...
Crystal Freda Aug 2017
City lights glitter and flicker
as street lights turn on.
Cars speed by
and then they are gone.

Trees are blowing with the wind
and house lights shut down.
Darkness fills the world
and I glisten on the ground.

I'm shining on the river.
I'm following through the window of your car.
I'm glimmering above the forest.
I'm with you wherever you are.
168 · Jan 2019
In her tears
Crystal Freda Jan 2019
All her body covered in tears
like a salt filled bath.
A river of water
flowing in her path.

She tries to swim in her tears
one drop after the last.
Every memory haunts her,
she can't escape her past.

She envies the happy
standing on the sun.
Being able to stand in peace
not having to run.

Though we all have problems
we try to run from,
and if we escape too many
it won't be just some.

It's hard to stand
when you're drowning in tears.
Do all you can do
in order to conquer your fears.

Life gives us a chance
to capture more than one.
Maybe one day you will be happy
and standing on the sun.

Wake up

Wake up!

Time to be woken.
Speak your thoughts
for they need to be spoken.

I Am Who You Are
Crystal Freda Apr 2018
You lift me up
when I am down.
I call Your name
when I am bound.
and I need Your love
when I am on the ground.

I'm on my knees
crying every night.
You grab my face
and tell me it's all right.
I call Your name
with all my might.

In Your presence
I am found.
You knight me queen
with a golden crown.
I am infinitely Yours
forever and now.

Greatness is a wait
Crystal Freda Dec 2018
Expect your promise
because it will come.
It will expand more

She tried to be...
Crystal Freda Dec 2018
She tried to be perfect.
She tried to be what everyone wanted.
She tried to follow rules,
but she was terribly shunted.

She tried to be smarter.
She tried to be what everyone thought.
She tried it,
but she was not.

She is who is,
not who she tried to be.
She acts how she is,
that's not what everyone wants to see.
166 · Aug 2018
He will light your path
Crystal Freda Aug 2018
Darkness surrounded her.
Her path ceded into a tunnel.
A tunnel of obscurity.
Every step was a struggle.

Her eyes brewed with tears
and her heart ached with fear.
No one could see her tears
and no one cared to hear.

She looked up at the darkness
and cried out to God.
She choked on her tears
and her voice was weary and flawed.

Soon a light commenced
and filled the tunnel with light.
Her path glowed with radiance
and her steps were bright.

Winter Blessings
Crystal Freda Apr 2019
Ghost white flurries
parade silently on the slanted *****.
Little drops of winter blessings
unraveling sheer chutes of hope.

Almighty's shining spotlight
hanging in Picotee sky.
Magical and radiant
messengers roam and angelify.

The Lord's house powerfully
sustained and stood.
A calming and Celeste night
begat winter's blessings on the wood.

Sometimes love...
Crystal Freda May 2018
Hearts in love,
but sometimes in pain.
The sun will shine,
but there will be rain.

Some fruit so sweet,
but some can be bitter.
Sometimes you win,
yet sometimes a quitter.

Life shows promise,
but yet sadness.
You'll have love,
then it will vanish.

Some love is forever,
and it can be quite sweet.
Some can take awhile,
and some when you meet.

Love is a beautiful thing,
even if it can hurt.
You will always love,
and it will be in your heart.

Celestial Love
Crystal Freda Apr 2019
Celestial love
blossomed in her inner self
She let go of history
for she now seeking help.

She beckoned for His presence
for tired of living in fear.
Graveling for more
pining Him near.

After many years
of enduring this emptiness.
She at last unfurled heaven
and floated with His faithfulness.

[ Trapped ]
Crystal Freda Oct 2017
Trapped
in the same day.
Over and over
and Iit won't go away.
Trapped
in one time frame.
Running again.
Always the same.
Trapped.
Can't reach.
Forced in be secluded
to a breach.
Trapped
in a forced mentality.
Chained.
Wanting to be free.

Wings
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
When we were together,
we took flight.
We discovered every inch
and every sight.
Under you wing
I feet secure
until one day
our flight had a detour.
Your fluttering wings
no longer fluttered with mine.
You floated away
and my wings began to decline.
I felt scissors slowly
cut against my back
causing me to fall
and my flight lost track.
My wings were gone
as I fell from the sky.
Losing my heart
and my ability to fly.
Don't let a person define you.

Ideas blown
from bulbs
shining the brightest lights.
Her mind
so creative
and collecting storage.
Her heart
so content
on exploring this knowledge.
