The greatest gift under the tree
Would for me to find a loving family
To give me hugs
To make me smile
To wipe away my tears
To adopt me as their child
To give me a life
To grow up in a loving home
To make me a child that you can call your own
Will you complete my story and give us both, a happy ending.

A dream that seems so realistic but at last it is just a dream that simply fades away tugging at your heartstrings everyday but getting some comfort knowing they are all ok, just from one dream, that slowly fades away...
Ashly Kocher Feb 2021
I may not be exactly where I want to be but where I’m going is where the adventure will await me
Ashly Kocher Oct 2018
A new adventure is there on the horizon
Just squint your eyes, look harder, reach out, take a leap of faith
Don’t let the adventure slip away
Ashly Kocher Apr 2019
I want an adventure with you
Only you
Just us
You and me
To the point of no return
Sharing laughter, love, and compassion
Where we can just be us
Only us
Together.....
Oh wait
We get that
Everyday
All day
Us
Forever
Ashly Kocher Mar 2021
Adventure is out there
Waiting for you to follow it
Surrounded by nature
The sun peeking through the trees
Birds chirping and bright colors to see
Follow your intuition
Trusting your path
Make every step count
Make every moment last
Adventure awaits for you today!
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
Adventure is waiting
A new beginning
On the road to a new start
Tears a sadness
Tears of happiness
Here’s to the start of our new life...

Miss y’all already.....
Love you always and forever to the moon and back

Afraid is ok, but not doing something because your afraid, won’t allow you to grow within yourself as a person…


Sometimes you need change.
Sometimes you need a different atmosphere. Sometimes you need to let go.
Sometimes you need to move on.

Being afraid doesn’t mean you can’t do it
It means that your human instincts are telling you, ITS OK, and change is on the way…
Ashly Kocher Mar 2021
Not every time
After a storm
Will a rainbow shine....
Even though you can’t see it
It may still be there
If you look closely
Through the clouds
Color will shine
Sending it’s rays
Down to the ground
If you get lucky
You may see double
Meaning magic will happen
Leaving you less troubled
Ashly Kocher Aug 2020
Old soul


Young at heart


Defining moments
From the start....
Growing up is a part of life...
Growing older but staying young at heart, that the key to ultimately keeping your age, just a number....

A vivid dream
Of a girl hitting on me
Flirting with me
Kissing me
I think I liked it
But it was just a dream....
Or was it?
Ashly Kocher Jan 2022
Ever just wanna cry
Having tears fall from your eyes
No explanation on why
But, just to sit in a dark room and cry

Catching emotions in the palms of your hands
Dripping like a leaking faucet
Falling through the broken cracks in your fingers
Collecting like a puddle after a hard nights storm

Ever just wanna cry
Having tears fall from your eyes
No explanation on why
But, just to sit in a dark room and cry

Sometimes, you just need a really good cry
With absolutely no explanation on why….

Life is like a busy airport
           Friends come and go
Life has delays or cancellations
          You leave your baggage behind
                ALWAYS
Sit and wait for a fantasy destination
                
                     In the end
You will SOAR high in the sky
                Even if it wasn’t in the expected flight of passage...

Sometimes the pieces fall into place
Even though I am no longer here to see your face
Embrace the moment, as I will be with you
As you embark on this new journey
Remember how proud I am of you
This is a big step in your career
Even though I’m far away, I am always near
In your heart, whispering in your ear, your guardian angel when you have a doubt of fear
I will always protect you in all you do
Listen for the loud roar from Heaven as I congratulate you
As you, my daughter, receive your pin of honor
I’ll be looking down from Heaven even more proud then before
Remember always...
      Stay Humble
           Stay Strong
                Stay You
As you continue to allow me to always watch over and protect you

Missy, I love you and miss you more then you know
But remember I am right next to you forever and always
As you start on your new life’s journey

                                           Love,
                                                 MOM
I wrote this for my aunt who lost her mom 4 years ago. She will be moving up in her job as a lieutenant in Colorado. I wrote this like her mom was talking to her from Heaven. I hope the message gets across. Let me know your thoughts.

I am
Growing
With fire
Inside
Calming my
Energy
Relaxing my
Mind
It does take
Time
But I’m willing
To try
Cleansing my
Soul
Feeling so
Alive
Ashly Kocher Oct 2017
The feeling of being alive on the outside
But completely
DEAD
On the inside....

We are told God is all around
From the sky to the ground


.....always remember
You are not alone......

I’m not only found in church
Always talk to me because
I’ll thinking of you first


           ......God is all around......
I am not the most religious person but I believe in a higher being that is not only found in a church, but surrounding our lives everyday and everywhere.

We are all born the same way
We are all born naked
But some of us are born with the invisible cloak of creativity
Ashly Kocher Aug 2018
Sometimes you have to put yourself out there and show both sides of you. Fresh face and made up face. Never be afraid to just show your true self and remember we have all a place.
Ashly Kocher Apr 2020
All I
“Want”
And
All I
“Need”
Are two totally different things...
Give that some thought during this difficult and uncertain time...
Ashly Kocher Apr 2019
What are you doing on top of me
He whispered softly in my ear
“I’m giving you all of me”
Ashly Kocher Aug 2018
Stagnant air
Filling your lungs
Beautiful sounds
Become noise as one
Light shines
Through the darkness
Tangible objects
Disappear in thin air
Smelling things
That are no longer there
Seeing sights
Through a blind persons eyes
Stepping into someone else’s shoes
Just for one minute
Can open your senses
Giving you a world of a surprise
Ashly Kocher Jan 2021
To almost come full circle
Is perfectly imperfect
Filling the void of struggle and guilt
Holding onto that one thing in life
That you still can’t figure out
Ashly Kocher Mar 2020
Have you ever felt like you just disappeared
Lost
Forgotten
Like a faded picture through the years
Only holding on to memories yet holding back the tears
Screaming and crying but no one can hear
A daily struggle tackling your fears
Alone....
May add more to this later but loving the start of this write
Ashly Kocher Apr 2017
The feeling of being alone
Even though your surrounded by a million people...
Ashly Kocher Jul 2019
Why does the summer breeze feel so cold....
.....because you left us to face this world alone.....
Ashly Kocher Feb 2020
Ever feel alone in a crowded room yet everyone is talking to you or maybe subconsciously talking about you through hidden jokes making a idiot out of you...
Ashly Kocher Dec 2019
Some people like
To be alone
I, on the other hand, do not...
It’s going to be a long 4 days...
I’m not ready for this at all...
My husband is driving his mom down the Florida and won’t be back for a couple days... ugh. I don’t want to be alone! Pray for safe travels especially with this impending  winter storm heading our way!

Heaven

Promise me
    You’ll always be
          Standing there
               Right next to me
Ashly Kocher Apr 2021
Unfathomable times
Indescribable measures
Forever in our hearts
We will always be together
Found out one of my childhood friends mom passed away suddenly. She was the most kind hearted sweet woman you would have ever met. Please send prayers to the family.

The glass is always full
No matter how you look at it
      Physically
   Mentally
               Or
          Emotionally
There is always room to make a change
If your perspective on this break in the road is just a speed bump...
         Not a DEAD END ROAD
              The glass is always full
No matter how you look at it....
Ashly Kocher Aug 2017
All eyes on me
Always
I need to be the center of attention
Always
Put the focus on me
Always

Why are some people like this?
Always in the spotlight
Always need to be noticed
Maybe take a step back
And see the world a little different
Unfocus your camera lens of your eyes
So maybe the world would see you a little clearer
And for that reason you will always be seen...
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
When you least expect it you come across
The memories with those in which we have lost
A picture
A video
A card
An old post
Floods our memories gates
Making our tears burst
Full of emotions
Realizing that so many have been lost
But we’ll always cherish them
Deep within our hearts
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

Let me set the scene....
Grocery shopping 11:30 am...
Pennsylvania, Giant Grocery Store...
Older lady in sweat pants and sweater, wearing a tiara( yes tiara)
Is on Facebook live ******* about something...
I first though she was angered over “white rice” and the ingredients being in two different languages
Not the case....
It was over
“White Race”
She wants to shop where it is only white people and only in English.....
Let me ask a question.... what is the national language of America?
Answer: there is actually no official national language of America.
Among all the profanity spewing out of her mouth she was wasn’t even making sense in anything she was saying
She wanted to shop where only white peoples shop, as she yells “This is America“ and as the cashier is of Asian decent and the cashier we were at was African American
She only wants English to be spoken or written as there are families speaking in Spanish behind her in line  and most of her grocery’s are in two languages
She, I guess, felt entitled because she was wearing a tiara ( your not royalty)

WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TOO?
If you don’t like it...
Turn it off
Don’t go out of your house
Move somewhere else

This is America
We are diverse
We are multicultural
We are one
We speak many languages
We ALL fight for our freedom no matter our race or background

Get off your high horse and shut your mouth if you don’t have any facts to complain about in this day and age
Do we all agree on everything in this world, No we don’t and we all have our opinions and that’s perfectly fine
But to openly complain about absolutely nothing is immaturity at its finest....
I pray for you and all those who think it’s ok to make a scene for no reason at all and to think it’s ok to do so....
So to have seen this pan out today. It’s people like that you make the rest of us look bad in life. #america #one # poetry
Ashly Kocher May 2022
Are you a mom?
How do you answer that
When you have no physical proof of human life
No, I mean yes, no I’m not…
It’s just easier to say No
Then to answer with Yes
Since you know it’s followed by a millions questions you’d rather not answer
So quietly you carrying in your heart your little Angel, trying to be strong everyday…
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....
Ashly Kocher Jul 2018
Pour a glass of fizzy soda
Take a drink, quenching your thirst
Tiny bubbles tickle your nose
Disappearing like tears falling down your cheek

Like walking in the sand
Leaving footprints as you walk
Washing away when the ocean waves come up

Boiling water
Steam rising up
Fading away as it rises up

Fireworks bursting in air
Lighting up the sky
Dissipating to who knows where

Many analogies of things we see
But go away to where we don’t know

Even though you see things everyday
Just because there “gone”
Doesn’t mean you can’t feel them anymore....

Falling
Down
Only
To
Realize
We’re
Getting
Back
Onto
Our

Two
Feet
Again
To
Turn
Over
A
New
Leaf
That’s
­Just
Shedding
It’s
Colors
To
Make
A
Fresh
Start...

A new life is brewing
Want to come and see
Follow and see where my dreams take me
I’m making a wish
Starting to believe
Can’t wait to see
Where this new journey will lead me
A new start
A new life
A change is happening
Step aside, I’m ready to dive head first into a BIG change
You and me baby
We got this
Our new journey soon awaits
Us
Ashly Kocher Aug 2018
If your scared to take that step forward in life...
Put your feet together
Take a deep breath
Acknowledge how far you have come
Thank God for all you have accomplished
Then, and only then, will you be ready to embark onto your next chapter in your life
Ashly Kocher Dec 2019
Stepping back into a world that you knew before
Regaining trust
Starting anew
Thankful for life
My family and friends too
Today I start a new journey for me
I’m grateful to be where I need to be
Surrounded by people who care for me
Unconditionally
Here’s to a step in the right direction and new journey for me
Ashly Kocher Dec 2019
A new life is coming to be
A new life for you and me
Even if it was unexpectedly
We are happy as can be
To meet you in 2020
When we become a family
You
Me
And
Baby...

Arriving July 2020
I wrote this for my niece who just told me she is expecting
Ashly Kocher Apr 2017
Wherever you go whatever you do
Just know I'm standing there right beside you
Even if you can't see me I will always be there
Don't you ever worry, you don't need to be scared
Grow with love, stand brave and tall
I'll be right there beside you through it all
Ashly Kocher Dec 2017
You took your final breath last night
You have gained your wings
Now take flight
You have left a handprint on all our hearts
You will always be with us even though you had to depart
When the sun shines down on all of us
We will know it’s your smile upon all of us
We will never forget you and all you accomplish
Rest In Peace sweet little one
We hope you bring heaven a whole lot of fun...
Ashly Kocher May 2022
I never got to meet you
Since I was saying goodbye as soon as we met....
Two years today since my miscarriage 💔
Still haven’t comprehended that day, even two years later.
Ashly Kocher Dec 2020
Staring into the eyes of an angels
She emotes her powerful energy into your soul
Ashly Kocher Dec 2018
She removes her mask
Showing off her captivating and mysteriously ice blue eyes
Want to know more, take a look inside
As she turns around she removes her cape
Unveiling her fluffy white wings as they spread her entire shoulder length
Who are you, you may ask, she replies feeling anxious and shy....
I am you guardian angel in disguise
