Rain, Rain on my day
Death
Disaster
Breath of Life you're  after
**** my Joy away

Nay I say

Breathe on me Breath of Life
Sing Songs of Greatfullness
Hide all the Hatefullness
Strength over Strife

Talent, good looks and all the rest
Tall, adorable, he was the best

Kind and decent, owns his own business
Man of mystery, wild and ****

The things you want
in the man you marry

They don't always necessarily

come

in
one

package

Choose wisely girls.....

Each year on New Years Eve
Since 1991
Each year on New Years Eve
I sit here all alone

My friends have all departed
they're dead or else they're gone


I'm much too old to party
go out in snow and ice
but dressing up with sparkling hair and high heels would be nice

The dancing and the laughter
are what I miss the most
the horns champagne confetti
To drink a New Years toast

But on the shelf above me
an album filled with love
sits quietly and waits for me

No, I am not alone

"Tomorrow is the first blank page
of a 365 page book.

Write a good one!"
Brad Paisley

Release me HP, let me go
I love you more and more and more

"But I have promises to keep
and miles to go before I sleep"

When the page was closed
I wept a while

So much beauty seen today
So much gladness in this happy season

So much saddness
None without a reason

My first thought (in Poetry)
Broke me out of my reverie

Leaving me in pain
for those who are so sad

Knowing that in vain
you'd given all you had


"When one door is closed,
a window opens up" for you

Oh, I can help!
I know where the window is!

Yes, come through the window!
Yes, it takes some effort to get through there...

You can do it!
I know you can

Look, look all around you
Here, here in Poetry's Home

HP poets eagerly
waiting to enfold you

Love is the window
Come, come on in!

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
don't sit there with a frown
Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly
'Cause Santa Clause is Comin' to Town

Christmas Time Is Here
What a wonderful time of year

Hope all on HP get a lot of presents
Have a White Christmas
and Drink a cup of Cheer

and everything your heart desires
may come to you my dear

Dear Quin:

There's Love that makes the world
Go 'Round
There's Love that lasts Forever

And you are such a clever guy
You fly so high
You touch the sky
you make us smile and makes us cry
with poetry and wisdom

But Love For You is so Profound
sometimes it knocks us to the ground
or causes us to spread our wings
and try for higher, greater things

You're poetry is in our Hearts
When will we leave you? NEVER

To all the soldiers serving now
To those who served in other wars

Born of your courage, strength and might
The freedom that you sought is ours

Because of you we can but say
A humble prayer of thanks today

It's over
and darling, it will never be the same

It's really over
I can't deny that it was only just a game

Feeling your arms around me
is just a long forgotten dream

'cause things are never what they seem

you gave me all that you could give
I've lost my reason now to live

because it's over
It's over

So full of life and vital things
upon the brink, I spread my wings
and close my eyes and look ahead
at all the things I've never said

at all the things I should have done
of prizes that I've striven for
and hopelessly have never won
of friends I've made
who've come and gone

Of mountains that I should have climbed
instead, on cushions I reclined
and thoughtlessly I drank the wine

of Apathy



So now that clouds have drifted by
and all alone, I lift my eye
and see the way to heaven's door
and know that life's worth fighting for

Next time I see a mountain high
I'll bound right up and touch the sky
I'll seek the prize and win this time
I'm not afraid, I'll take what's mine

won't rest on laurels in the sun
I'll fly to where the work is done
  and if it's worth the price I'll give,
of all I have, so we can live
in peace, I'll comfort anyone
who needs my help
to get things done

I'll thank the Lord for what he gave
his sinless life our souls to save

I'll hold my friends much dearer still
I'll share the wine, we'll drink our fill


No Apathy

Boy! Do we need some
air
In this season of
Despair

Politicians in my Hair

This morning I heard myself say,
"Don't go 'cause you won't get away"

"You'll never get anything done,
You'll be sitting there reading 'til dawn.
You're dishes will sit in the sink,
Your body will stink,
'cause it's all gone to hell,
Sitting 'round in you're petticoat pink" ? lol

But I logged on anyway......

"You're old" they said, "Not worth your salt"
That's what the young folks say.
"Get a life" they said, "Go back to bed"
"you're only in the way"

I'll get a life as soon as I have finished raising kids
Have finished doing dishes, have finished making beds

Have finished playing "Taxi" to you and all your friends
Have finished paying bills, have fininshed meeting ends

I'll "Get a life" when I am done
with work I have to do
To help down at the shelter
and  at the churches too

With PTA and parties
vacations and the like
I don't have time..........there is no time

For me to get a life.
