Happiness
Ashly Kocher Apr 2017
Bare your soul deep in mine
Walk me with, let's take our time
Look deep in my eyes
And you will see
A lifetime of happiness
Of the person you made me

Amen
Ashly Kocher May 2018
When the night has come to an end
I will bow my head, close my eyes and say a prayer
“Thank you for all you have given me”
Protect me
          Protect my husband
Protect my home
              Protect my family and friends
Also, say hi to my dad and tell him how much I miss and love him....

                    Amen
Ashly Kocher May 2018
I will shed one tear on this “Mother’s Day”
     Since I will never become a mother

         I feel the pain of so many around the world
Who can’t become a “mother,” who want it so bad
                     One tear I will shed for you (and for me)
           In hopes we can find comfort for one day we’ll be happy

Father's Day
Ashly Kocher Jun 2017
From almost a year to ten years
It's not any easier as more time passes by
I know your both flying sky high
You watch over all of us each and every day
Sending us little signs that we know your ok
From a penny on the ground, a cardinal flying by, a song to play, or a spider crawling around
It's the little things that remind us of you
We miss you so much, Happy Father's Day to you

Dad and Harold we miss you dearly and we love you with all of our hearts.
Wrote this a couple years back after my dad passed away and my husbands dad was already gone. Now it will be 3 years my dad is gone and 12 that my husbands dad is gone. Miss them more then words can say happy Father's Day in heaven dads!

One Day Ghost
Ashly Kocher Nov 2017
If only there could be
One day throughout the year
For all those who have passed away
That their souls would be released
For us to have one more day
Just to talk, hug or cry to one last time
Also, for loved ones to say a proper goodbye
For those who left us suddenly
                     And
Make your dreams of fantasy become a reality

She Gained her Wings
Ashly Kocher Oct 2018
No more suffering or pain to endure
She gained her wings
It’s now her time to soar
As she took her last breath
God held his arms wide open
Come to me my child
I will carry you to heaven
Your body is now out of distress
Your family will morn
Your family will cry
As now they have to say goodbye
A mother
A grandmother
A friend
Please wait for us
When we will cross over and meet you at the bridges end...
For my friends grandmother who passed away this morning. :(

Making love ❤️
Ashly Kocher Apr 2017
Your eyes glow like the stars at night
Your smile brings joy to my life
You pull me in and kiss me so
Please don't ever let me go
Kiss my lips and down by body
Sending shivers all over me and making me wet
Slip it in and go real slow
You push all my buttons until you make me go
Roll me over, I'll get on top
I'll keep riding it and won't stop
Moaning loudly and loving it so
Until you release and just let it go...

Rip Maestro
Ashly Kocher Oct 2018
The day has come for us to say goodbye
You’ll always be my best friend, always by my side
For now we have to part ways
We’ll miss so especially in the coming days
Always in our hearts
            Always on our minds
Maestro, you were definitely one of a kind
Now it’s time for you to cross the rainbow bridge and fly
Run free in Heaven, but don’t forget us big guy
We will miss you dearly
                       We love you so
Wait for us at the rainbow bridges end
For when it’s our time to go
            Rip Maestro
My sister in laws dog passed away.... I wrote this for her and her husband.

All day long

Either way
You’ll put up a fight
No way is right

Just as long as
You don’t look back
Continue going forward
Moving right along

The warm sun beating on your face
        
         The ocean waves crashing at your            feet
          
          The smell of salt water in the air
    
      The beauty of the world embracing your soul

        The beach can relax and fix you...

Endless Possibilities
Ashly Kocher Nov 2021
You search for magic that swirls around your head, encapsulated by the stories told through your eyes, finding endless possibilities as you dance on cloud nine.
You smile because your loved , you laugh because your happy, you cry because life is beautiful, even through the darkest of times.

Dreaming
Ashly Kocher Mar 2021
While I was asleep
You came to me
In my dreams
Kissed me on the cheek
Said “I love you”
As I drifted into deeper sleep
My dad came to me in my dream last night. Miss you dad 💜
Ashly Kocher May 2017
Sun rising
People awake
Butterflies flutter
Birds chirping
Bees buzzing
Wind howling
Rain falling

Stars twinkling
Fireworks bursting
People cheering
Families partying
Celebrating love

Selfish
Ashly Kocher Apr 2017
I keep getting pulled in many directions, I don't know what to do or say but right now I take it day by day
Everyone's emotions are running wild, but in this equation is a little child
A mother two daughters and a husband of course
have lost so much but I keep beating a dead horse
Many people are so generous and nice
But some people are greedy and don't think about the price
The price of ruining your family and turning your backs, open your eyes and come face to face with the facts
Things were lost but it wasn't just you
Yes it was 42 years but they lost everything too

Am I a writer?
Ashly Kocher Oct 2017
Am I really a writer or just form some words
Do you really understand me or do I just write for the birds?
Thoughts flow through my brain all jumbled and confused
I can’t help but unscrambled them and make sense of these floating words
Bubbles form above my head
Telling stories of reality that no one else said
Sometimes I feel like I’m not good enough to be on here
Sharing my stories of love, sadness and fears
So many words form into writings of my surroundings
I love sharing all of my feelings....
          Again,
Am I really a writer or
Just Wasting My
        Time....

New life
Ashly Kocher Apr 2017
Sleepless nights, long nights
Praying and hoping for a donor
A kidney was needed for a young man
To help be feel human and strong again
One phone call was all it took, for an angel to give just one look
In a blink of an eye, all will change
But for the better with the help of Gods grace
An angel has been sent down from heaven above
To shine positive light on someone who needed it most
We call it our Christmas miracle for a loving son
For soon he will have a new kidney and can forever have fun.

Ashly Kocher Jun 2022
Two lines
Means a drastic change in your world
Yet, never getting that chance
Also, means a change in your world

If you understand, I am with you…

Stars ✨
Ashly Kocher Apr 2017
Stars shine above our heads
When we lay down and go to bed
We all die every night
When we close our eyes and sleep at night
The lucky ones open their eyes
As we face another day to someone else's goodbyes

Infertility
Ashly Kocher Apr 2017
Guess I'm not blessed to carry a child
Been trying for so long but still end up in sorrow
I will never know what it means to be a mother
Or feel the joy of another
Another one like me and you
It always ends in sadness and makes me blue
Not be able to carry you
Is not what it means but I wish one day I could be blessed to hold you...

Simple Gesture: Try It

Smile with laughter

Two different worlds
Will make a difference

Dads Signs
Ashly Kocher Aug 2018
Dad was shining his light upon me today
Feeling very sad since you went away
I looked to the sky, hoping for a sign
The suns rays were shining through oh so bright
I smile and said “I love you dad”
Took a picture, I was so glad
Glad to know he was listening to me
Thinking of me
Loving me
I miss you more then words can say
But I know your watching over me everyday....

Different world
Ashly Kocher Apr 2017
Taking a jump to the unknown
Spiraling down the rabbit hole
Falling slowly with nothing in sight
Staying brave as I take flight
Coming to a land with my feet on the ground
I open my eyes to see what I've found
A different would that's kept secret and underground
To a fantasy of a world where no one makes a sound.

Comatosed like a Pill
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
A sudden pause
You remain still
In hopes you won’t be seen
Comatosed like swallowing a pill
Don’t blink, don’t breath to much
Drifting away, staying frozen and such
If you don’t move, you won’t be noticed
You’ll be hidden in plain sight
Remaining in your own self bliss

Permission
Ashly Kocher Sep 2022
She gives herself permission to have
Days of doubt
Grieve in silence
Just lay around

She gives herself permission to
Not to be herself
Not to smile
Hide and cry

The she is me and I am her
I give myself permission
To let my emotions
Sometimes take over

Give yourself permission to feel whatever it is you need or want to feel without carrying the guilt of not “being yourself”

It’s Ok, You’ll Be Ok
Ashly Kocher Jun 2021
It’s ok to cry
It’s ok to be sad
It’s ok to feel lost
It’s ok to hurt
It’s ok to not be ok

Same scenario, different situations
You can sympathize yet not fully understand
But that’s ok
Different walks of life
Different times in your lives
Grasping at straws to understand why
But the why can’t be answered at this time

It’s ok to cry
It’s ok to be sad
It’s ok to feel lost
It’s ok to hurt
It’s ok to not be ok

Times will get better
Even though the darkness is casting a shadow
There’s light at the end of the tunnel
Don’t hurry towards it, you need to heal in this moment


It’s ok to cry
It’s ok to be sad
It’s ok to feel lost
It’s ok to hurt
It’s ok to not be ok
But knowing you WILL BE OK
You WILL BE OK
You will ALWAYS BE OK…

Only in my dreams
Ashly Kocher Apr 2017
When I dream I think of you and all these
wonderful things you do
I Dream of you giving me a rose
That will enchant the scent of my nose
I dream of us walking hand and hand,
While we walk through the sand
I dream of us walking through the sunset
Where no ones over been yet,
I dream of you always being there for me, Hugging me,
Loving me, kissing me...
But who am I to Fool, nothing that good
could happen to me, But Only in my DREAMS...

Papa Bear
Ashly Kocher Apr 2017
Your lifeless body laying there, the silence was dark
The chill grew colder, the time passed by
The wait was over, it was time for goodbye
We surrounded your bedside, we prayed and sang
I know you heard us, and still to this day
The silence is now broken but the chill is still cold
Well be ok, I'm sure you know

I hope your watching over me each and everyday because I know your still with me in some way
I look to the sky and I know your still there...

You will always be my "Papa Bear."

Losing Hope
Ashly Kocher Dec 2017
Month to month
     Having hope
Wanting something so bad
     Yet never happening
I think I’ve come to terms
      It’s not meant to be
Why did this happen to me?
            I live by the quote
“Everything happens for a reason “
      But I’m starting to lose hope
Accepting Gods plan
      That I will never become a parent
Holding a child in my hands....

Empty Arms

Todays the day
Three years ago
You went away
Never knowing I had you
Until it was too late

I never got to meet you
Since I was saying goodbye as soon as we met....

My arms are empty and my heart is heavy..

Three years since my miscarriage. Stilled not healed and comprehend why…

Fibromyalgia
Ashly Kocher Mar 2018
Looking at me
I look healthy and fine
But you don’t understand the pain
I live with in the inside
The burning
The flare ups
The constant battle of pain
I wish I had a day without this battle
I would not take it in vane

Just because I look ok on the outside
Doesn’t mean I’m ok inside
But that doesn’t define me
I take the day and pain
One step at a time...
My sister has this and it’s a constant battle. Everyone looks at her and thinks she’s fine... she puts on a mask and hides the pain... don’t judge someone for you never know what their battling everyday.
