They saying goes:
“You wear your heart on your sleeve”
Well I wear two hearts on my sleeve...
One for you and one for me

It’s been two weeks since I last saw you
Laying in the casket, but looking at peace
As I stood there talking to you for the last time
I could feel your presence around me as the minutes passed by
I swear I saw you grin when I was looking at you
Boy do I miss you, you were taken from
us too soon
Thank you for the little winks and reminders you have sent me along the way
It sure does put a smile on my face and brightens up my day
Knowing your watching over me and knowing your okay
I miss you
Every
Single
Day

Trying to put into words
This massive pain in my heart
But also remembering the extra 6 months
We were able to share, make memories and give love
We know your happy, free of pain and having fun
But this emptiness in our hearts, hurts so much...

To get the best picture
You focus your camera just right
Now try the same focus on your own life to get the best result of you just right…

Simple things
Come with wings
Soaring by
The fireside
Protecting you
Watching you
Sending love
From up above
Giving signs
That their alright
Always there
By your side
In time of need
Come to me
I’ll guide you where
You need to be
Simple things
Come with wings
Look for me
I’ll be soaring by
Your fireside
On Christmas morn
Don’t be sad
That I’m gone
Just listen to my
Favorite song
Calmness will come
For I will sing
As I spread my wings
It’s the simplest things....

Sometimes not thinking at all
Creates the best recipe for perfection

Sometimes life is hard
Your dealt a hand of cards
That sometimes you may fold
Other times you have a full house
It’s how you look are the hand your dealt
If you rise above yourself
Or if you crumble and fold
Showing your not so good poker face
Falling down and losing all your chips
Put on your brave face
Look from a different perspective
Even if the cards don’t fall exactly how you expect

Dive into
The fountain of youth
To find the inner child
That’s inside of you

Growing up I never thought about making the bed every morning
Why make the bed when your going to get right back in it later that night
I had a thought today...
Making the bed every morning allows you to fold away your worries and cares of yesterday
When you unfold the bed at night and hop on in you peel away the thoughts and start anew
Think of this next time you think twice about making the bed every morning

Bring me back to bring me
Guide me on the mystical journey
Healing my soul
Mending my heart
Connecting me to the spiritual work of art...

For you are the only one to find your own happiness; love yourself first, everything else will slowly fall into place like a picture perfect puzzle

I will not change the person that I am
Take me or leave me
But here I stand
On my own two feet
Just being me
Love me or hate me
This is real, this is me

Walking down a narrow path
Torn and tattered drifting fast
Sunshine melting through the branches
Every step forward, taking chances
Never looking back towards the overgrown grasses
Taking each moment in, so no time passes

Today...
Tomorrow...
Will be
The last time
I physically get to see
You for the last time
I sure will cry
As we gather to say
Our final goodbye

The time has come to close your eyes
We said our I love yous and said our goodbyes
It's time to relax and let the feelings go
Don't worry about us, were stronger then you know.

It's time to see the light, and feel Gods touch
It's in Gods hands now, but please know we will miss you so much.

Forced to hold something in
Never to talk about it
Try and forget it
Asking yourself “did it really happen” or “am I making all of this up”
Simply because you can’t remember all the details
Eating away at you from the inside out, but never revealing the scars
Even if there is no physical scars to show
The scars are there, they are deep
Trying to heal yet get ripped open at the slightest remembrance of what you went through
Blank stare
Zoning out
Are you ok?
Yeah I’m “fine”
Constant lies to everyone because you don’t want the pity
Don’t want the “I’m so sorry”
Don’t want to be “that girl” ( or guy)
I just want to move on and forget it
Yet, it’s not possible
Not possible at all
One little thing can trigger that period in your life and time warp you back to the exact night or years your went through it
One minute your good, the next watch out
Wanting to crawl under a rock and cry, scream, yell “why me?”
Rocking away all the emotions flooding your brain
Trying so hard to remove that “so-called memory “ from your past files and deleting them...
But you can’t
You can’t at all
You will live with this the rest of your life
But it’s ok....
I went through it
I lived it
I made it
I conquered it
It will always be with me
But I am STRONG
I am who I am
I am ME TOO

The words are right on the tip of my tongue
But no words can I form....

Slowly
Petals
Fall
Off
The
Stem
Catching
Thorns
Along
The
Way

Thinking back on the days in the past
All the fun and memories we had
Behind the scenes, to on stage fun
Where has the time gone?
Years have pasted, things have changed
The place that I called “Home”
Just isn’t the same....

Play with me
Through the years
But as they went on
We drifted away
Causing many tears
Wondering why
What happened to us
We’ve been through it all
The blood, sweat, and the tears
I wish we could go back
To our younger years
Where we wished we were grown
But still young at heart
I wish we had never drifted apart

Embrace the beauty that surrounds us.
Open our hearts to be filled with love and open your eyes to seek out the little signs that are being given to us from above…

You rev up your car

Make a whole lot of noise
            
                Yet

You ain’t go anywhere fast...

Be grateful
for the one thing
someone has done
for you
Not
the
millions
things
they haven’t.....

Come walk with me to the door
Open it just once more
Release the monsters from my soul
I’m tired of fighting this one sided duel
Unlock the portal to my happy thoughts
Let me remember what my happiness had brought
I am not you and you are not me
But shedding this weight will set us both free
You’ve kicked me down, insulted me
Yet I’ve gotten up eventually
It’s time to part ways, I hate to say
But once and for all I’m lifting this weight

Come walk with me to the door
Open it just once more
Release the demons from my soul
I’m tired of fighting this one sided duel

Set me free
Let me be me
Restart anew
It’s time for me to breakthrough
Lock up the door, finally
That’s it, your gone
Indefinitely

Come walk with me to the door
Open it just once more
Release the demons from my soul
I’m tired of fighting this one sided duel

It’s time now to say goodnight to all my freight
It’s now or never to begin with a new light
Closing the door one final time
I am not you and you are not me
Anymore
This is goodbye...

The ups and downs of life are just the growing process to learn and accept the challenges that may occur..

The ones who are always willing to lend a hand or a listening ear, are often the ones who are silently breaking on the inside...

Love is the glue that holds our hearts together beating as one for all eternity

I can’t even imagine if we would have never met one another....



......so I won’t even imagine it...


Because meeting you...
....changed me for good....

If you could print out an image of you
That anyone could color inside the lines
How would you color my world?

I really don’t want to give it back
Who knew a gift had strings attached

If you


Can count


Your teardrops


Then your


Really not



Sad...

My heart is tired
Yet full of joy

My eyes are dry
Yet full of tears

My mind is racing
Yet my thoughts are silent

I am only human...

Avoidance isn’t key
Determination is what
Makes me

She closed her eyes
Made a wish...
Her whole world changed
For good

Happiness blooms from within
A pinch a love
A dash of joy
Perfection at its finest
For a happy heart

I thought......






I thought wrong.....

The patchy, dense fog
May cause some distortion
But if you look hard enough
It’ll actually show you
A work of art and priceless beauty

Words that cannot be expressed are better to get off your chest and maybe someone will be impressed by the inner workings of your heart laid to rest by trying your best of the simple words that are hard to express...
