I’m a little depressed
On this Christmas Eve
There’s not many gifts
Under our tree
Oh wait...
That’s how it’s suppose to be
It’s not about giving gifts
For all to see
Sharing your love
Sending smiles to all
365 days a year
Come one, come all
Give thanks for the things
That we already have
Spread happiness and love
Don’t ever be sad
For on this Christmas Eve
Spend time with loved ones
Since that’s the greatest gift for all to see

Drink me
  Just forget
     Numb the pain
        Have no regrets
           Feel the warmth
              As it touches your lips
                 Escaping your problems
                    From the first and final sip
Drowning your sorrows
Filling the void
Of fears and sadness
You just can’t avoid
         Eyes turn into a kaleidoscope
             Blurring your vision
                Feeling warm and fuzzy
Drink me down
As we run from our feelings
Having a night on the town
                 Escaping reality
                     Where we truly will be found

Softly chirping
       Light rain falling
Calling out for love
       Blissful sunrise
Swirling clouds
        Essence of peacefulness
Calming feelings
        Giving thanks
For all you have
         Being free
Singing aloud
        Take it all in
Breath in life
       Not looking back
Don’t think twice
      Recharge yourself
Rise to the top
      Not giving up
Never to stop
     Take a deep breath
Walk ahead
      To a better you
Revealing your thoughts
           When your dreams come true

Ice crystals form in your eyes
You see the world through all the lies
Imaginative illusions swirl around your brain
Trying to keep them in line, looking sane
Plucking words to form a single thought
Looking happy on the outside but your not
Your soul fills the shell in which your body resides
Eyes well up with teardrops as you cry
Whimsical imperfections in the beauty through your own eyes

A year ago we were as happy as can be
As we were in Florida spending time with the family
       This year just isn’t the same
           As we spend the holidays alone
               It’ll just be another day...

Unfamiliar feelings
        Heart dropping
Gut wrenching
        Deep breathing
Blood pumping
       Stomach twisting
Body tingling
        Love flowing
Mind racing
      Sparks flying


           How YOU make me feel
    From the first kiss
                And to today
         Forever and always

My tiny dancer
Who grew up to fast
We made a connection
That will always last
An instant bond of friendship
For my “Mini me”
I love you always and forever
        Unconditionally

I’m proud of all you have accomplished
      To be who you want to be
          Happy Birthday Chloe
              Make a wish and just believe
