I have enjoyed every moment of my life
Leaped out of airplanes
Ran down the street with bulls
Loved who I pleased
When I pleased
How I pleased
I'm exhausted
Lived selfishly
No concerned for my brother
Now age has caught up with me
Not one child of my own to help me
My hair is grey
My steps have shortened
And my body is broken
Sad though it may seem
I speak of this only as a warning
To the young                    
But I'm not looking back
I have made my peace
With my maker
If for any reason
My body totally fails me
That's okay
Death is welcomed

I like to go outside
In the early morning
The air is fresher
I can think clearly
Songs from the birds are so sweet
I close my eyes and inhale and exhale
Getting every thing in sync
Noticing the red sky
When I'd been out for awhile
I stand in the wind letting it blow my hair to and fro
Reminising of days gone by
When I ran through the field of bluebonnets
Laughing and enjoying
The beginning of the day
The morning
When I awake
The windows up
The curtains are waving goodbye to the night
And my smelling senses are going crazy
For breakfast awaits me
The morning
So pleasant
So calm
I wish it could stay morning
All day
Just for one day
I love the mornings

I took a long walk
To help clear my head
I turned to look around
And I fell into a hole
As I started back home
There was a lady walking towards me
I thought she was talking to me
Didn't know she was on the phone
How awkward
Got on my block
My house was just a few houses down
It had been raining
And there were puddles
My neighbor
Yelled to me
And I stepped right in the mud
I thought I needed to clear my head
But probably I  should have stayed in bed

I have a remedy
For the down times
Just smile
Even if you can't see your way clear
Just smile
Even though it hurts while your here
Just smile
Letting this time pass knowing
It's gonna pass
So
Just smile
Don't fear
Trying times get worse
Before they get better
The midnight hour is always the hardest
Seems like you want make it
Keep holding on
Be strong
And smile
You made it

Stayed up late night
AC broke
I was hot
Couldn't sleep
Went outdoors
To catch a breeze
It was slight  
Until around about midnight
Saw a shooting star
The sky was black
With specks of light
The birds were still singing
As the trees began to dance
The wind had picked up you see
I was refreshed
Tired and sleepy
So I told the Most High thanks for the wind
Said a little prayer
And went in

The flowers are so beautiful
Their fragrance so sweet
Everyone stops to admire the beauty of The Most High's pretty flower
Flowers don't boast of their magnificent hues
Because without Him it could not be
So the flower awakes every morning with the sun
To praise its Maker
And say thanks

I love you
When the sun doesn't shine
I love you at any given time of the day
I love you in the color blue and in the rain
I love you at the close of the day
I love you at dawn
When the day begins and the sky is red
I love you here
I love you there
I love you everywhere
I love you all the time
Your always on my  mind
I Love You

Sober memories
In a stupor
Lost conquest
Fiddling with broken pieces
Of a relationship
Thought I would mend
It back together
And I might could
But some pieces
Wouldn't fit like they should
Causing some of the good stuff to leak out
It would still look broken
That's because it would be
For I was the only one
Who was trying to fix it

I am a woman
Forgotten by society
A mother
Without a husband
I'm hardened by circumstances
Wounded by voices
Inferior to authority
I am alone
I could neglect my responsibility
And make a go of it
But the fear of that taunts me
So I stand and brace myself
I searched for help
I found it on my knees
Most High gave me hope for tomorrow
And strength for today
A promise to hold onto
While He prepared the way
