Hello Poetry
Ashly Kocher Nov 2019
The good
The bad
The times we had
The ups
The downs
The struggle is real
The support
The critics
The simple joys
All because one site
Ties us together
As we pour our hearts out
Filling up the blank pages
Let’s continue this amazing journey
We have all created together

Hello Poetry!

Thankful ( repost)
Ashly Kocher Nov 2019
I’m not only thankful today but each and everyday for my family, friends and the life I have been given.
Thankfulness comes in many different ways but as for today I am thankful for the journey of life and happiness surrounded by the people who care and love for me.
I am also thankful for my husband, the one who has been by side, through thick and thin, my rock, my heart, my life.
I am thankful for the air in my lungs, the life I live everyday, the path I have chosen.
I am thankful for you, the person who is reading this, thank you for following my journey and your continued support, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Hug your loved ones, pray for the ones we have lost, but most of all, during this holiday season, stay grounded, love yourself, and be blessed for all you have in your life.
Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Holiday Season to everyone in my life.
I love you always and forever

Ever Changing
Ashly Kocher Nov 2019
Sometimes
Being alone
Even for a couple hours
Makes your mind get thinking
Of how things have changed so much
Things that we have lost or moved away
How continually life is changing
Even for the better
Ever changing
Life

Wine Time
Ashly Kocher Nov 2019
Time
Is just time
Aging like wine
The more wine
The more time
Being timeless
Losing time
Aging yourself
Just like fine wine
Just in time
To drink more wine
Losing more time...

Live Everyday
Ashly Kocher Nov 2019
You are brought into this world as a individual
To learn
To grow

Love your life
Live everyday
Learn everyday
Make everyday count for something
In the end you will feel amazing in what you have accomplished....

Symbolic Scars

Stitches will fall out someday
Leaving behind a scar that reminds you
That your a survivor each and everyday
Symbolism inadvertently shows strength that you endure
Struggle guides you to become more
Than what you think you are...

As The Holidays Start...
Ashly Kocher Nov 2019
Empty are our hearts as this holiday season starts
But know that you are not alone
Even though you feel so alone
I am always here to guide you
Filling the void in your hearts
Don’t forget me as the holidays start
Just know I am with you
Always will be
Even if, for now, we are apart
Listen for me in your time of need
Look for me when you sleep and dream
I’m never to far away
Forever in your heart I will always stay...
For this holiday season leave a empty chair for me
Wait for the magic to happen and see...

Ashly Kocher Nov 2019

Emotional
Ashly Kocher Nov 2019
I’m very emotional
I don’t know why
In a drop of a hat
I will instantly cry
For no reason at all
What’s going on
No one really cares
I just don’t know what’s wrong
Maybe I just need to make a call....
Is Heaven long distance
Probably so

Guilt
Ashly Kocher Nov 2019
I carry guilt with me everyday
Not being able to make you an aunt, our mother’s grandparents, and my husband a father
It haunts me all the time
Everyday I wonder why?
Anxiety
Depression
Sadness
And
Guilt
Just to name a few
Is a constant battle that I go through....

Time of Need
Ashly Kocher Nov 2019
When you need a moment for yourself
Take It

When you need to just relax
Do It

When you need advice
Ask For It

When you need friends and family
Surround Yourself

When you need change
Make It

Don’t be Afraid  to ask for help or take time for yourself and your spouse
Do what you need in the moment and all will fall into place

The right people will support and help you no matter
Lend a listening ear
Give a helping hand
Be a shoulder to cry on
Help you in time of need

Always remember that...

Not Meant to Be
Ashly Kocher Nov 2019
The other night I had a dream....
....I can’t stop thinking about it and what it really means....
It weighs on my mind and on my heart...
I don’t even know how to think or where to start....
Maybe it was telling me that my dream will never happen...
Having a family with you.....
Eyes fill up with tears, even after almost 10 years
Guess it’s just not meant to me...

Shadows of the Night
Ashly Kocher Nov 2019
The dark shadows of the night
Will come to you when you sleep tight
Good or bad they’ll show you the way
Think about it for when you start your day
Prayers will be answered either way
Listen closely while you sleep
Your beautiful nightmares may be deep
Showing you the way while you sleep
Nov 2019 · 162

My Big Sister
Ashly Kocher Nov 2019
Younger or older that doesn’t matter
What matters is that I will always be there
No matter what the situation is
I will do whatever I can to help
No strings attached
Because you are my best friend
My support
My other half
My “defying gravity”
But most importantly
My Big Sister...

Another Chapter Closed
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
Another chapter to our family has been written and closed
The book of memories, the laughter, the tears, the joys...up on the bookshelf it shall go
Home based on 8th Avenue will always remain “Home”
But, now, another family can make it their own
We put our marks on each of our lives
Always connected with our hearts no matter how many miles we are apart
Saying goodbye is never an easy task
Especially when you want that moment to last
Here’s to the new journey and adventures ahead
Home is where the heart is and the memories you remember inside your head
Always and forever our love will grow
Now it’s time for you to soar and go
Best of luck on your new start
Your always in all of our hearts....
My mom and sister are loving to Florida today... it was super hard to say goodbye for now.

Panic
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
Silent screams from within
The panic that starts to set in
Fearing the unknown
Adrenaline sky high
Freaking out as each minute passes by
Trying to breath and relax
But these symptoms are panic attacks
Like someone is choking you
Hands wrapped tight around your neck
Dripping and soaking wet
Wanting to crawl into a hole
Burying yourself like a tiny mole
It’s not in your head
It is real
But your in a constant battle of fear
Your not alone as so many suffer
Facing your own demise causing a  buffer
Reaching out asking for help
We are hear to listen in your time of doubt

Light to Darkness
