Some hearts break, some hearts mend,
Some hearts are never the same again.
Sometimes you have to move on.
Sometimes you have to crawl before you can run.
Some hearts bend, some harden,
Some hearts are never whole again.
Sometimes you have to breathe.
Sometimes you have to die a little, in order, to live.

5 minutes left, the clock is ticking slowly.
I don't want you to be in pain, but I don't want to let you go.
Stay as long as you want, as long as you can.
Try to hang in there. Don't go yet.

3 minutes, your breathing is slow.
The beeping is getting father apart. Oh no!
You are so young and have yet to live.
Time is against us again.
I wipe away the tears that fall down my face.

1 minute past, I miss you so much.
We are broken, deprived of you love.

IF
If I told you I was leaving,
    would you ask me to stay?
If I told you I love you,
    would you say I love you too?
If I told you I was dying,
    would you do all you could do?
If I told you I can't take it,
     would you hold me and say,
     without me your would wouldn't be the same?
If I said with my dying breath I need to see you,
     would you do everything to make that true?
If you were robbed of my love,
     would you fight to have it back?
If they told you I was gone,
     would you believe them and move on?

I don't think you understand what you've done.
The hurt you've caused,
The fear you've brought.
She is your child, your love.
But you put her last,
And you above.
You don't understand what you lost,
A poor young girl who paid the cost.
A daughter you've lost over time.
A good friend of mine.
I don't think you understand what you've done.
A beautiful woman with so much to do,
A beautiful woman you will lose.
And I will be there as I have always been,
To pick up the pieces and help her swim.

As I get happy my voice gets loud
You tell me to be quite and I have to wonder
Would it be better if I had duck tape over my mouth

My happiness fades and so does my light
My heart breaks a wound not at all slight
Tears want to fall, my throat closes up

Do you car at all?
Dear forest ranger,

Though I didn't know you,
What happened rang through my heart.
It's not fair that so soon in this new year,
You were taken from this earth,
Just January first.

The sirens ring through my head,
Haunting the woods surrounding this mountain.
I don't know your name,
Or if you had a spouse or kids.

I hope you knew help was coming,
I'm sorry they didn't make it in time.
I pray that your loved ones will be alright,
That in time they can heal.
I hope they find peace in knowing,
You are watching them from Heaven.
Written 1/1/2012. A forest ranger was killed on January 1, 2012 up at Mount Rainer. My family was in the area. We listened to the news and it was so rough with my cousin wanting to go out and help.

This poem is for that brave ranger.
Another new year,
But it's still not the same.
I'd rather relive an old year,
One where I can hear you say my name.
