Just once I said
just one last time
Just  in case
just because I  can

I did it
I done did it
I didn't plan to
I didn't want to
I REALLY did not want to
but I Did

Just do it, just did it

And it starts all over again!
Just
and
Do

JULY

It's July in Texas
hot it is
mid summer
almost August
too far from June

SATURDAY
I should go out
seize the day
but have no pay
to enjoy what I could do
so I just laze in front of the tube
with eyes glued
Mind semi engaged
in mindless shows
because that how it goes

Saturdays in July

The little GEM who brightens my days in so many ways.
She is determined, strong , outspoken.
Her endearing traits to be her own
Makes it hard to believe she is grown

I wish I could have given her more as much as she has given me.
What are these things you ask....
She gave me good memories and completed our family. Nobody else but her could
Show me life is good even when it is hard
She can always make me laugh

Apart from her I live now
I dont know how
I always think about her
And miss her everyday

I just have to to tell her I love her and
Seeing her makes my life complete because
She is forever my little girl.

Even after the many fights and I see a partial light
I  still want to go back
and fix it all.
I feel so small because you never heard my call
I thought at one time we could have it all.

I cherish the good times we had, still confused over the bad
Because I want to go back to the happy times we had.

I don't hate you but I must grieve over the loss
of a life we built
I must also find a way to ease my guilt.'
over the hard words, over the misunderstandings .
and of being too demanding.

I never wanted to walk away except in Anger
I just never wanted to relive the danger.

So I say I am sorry
but I understand
We have to move on
and that those
25 years are now gone.
