Goodbye

Yesterday, I lived life like a normal day
Yesterday, I knew what was coming tomorrow.

Today, I said my final goodbye.
Today, I became a different person.

Tomorrow, I'll carry on
Tomorrow, I'll be a better person.

Tomorrow, I'll love you just as much as I did.
Today and Yesterday,
and forever into the future.

The Lab

today my friend's best friend died
and i really empathized with her

Her best friend was
Charming
       brave
Affectionate
       smart
Lively
       gigantic
Versatile
       playful
Innocent
       silly
Noisy

And he was one of the best, someone whom she could lean on, someone who would cheer her up with a cuddle.

It hurts to lose a dog. A big, furry cream colored friend, with a big loving heart.

It's true that a dog loves you much more than himself. And you could see it in their eyes when you give them food or stroke their bellies.

This fuzzy feeling of friendship will never be forgotten.

R.I.P Calvin "Pancake", the yellow Labrador retriever.

So darling, darling,
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Won't you stand by me?

Farewell GrandMa

My Grandma
A woman of extreme strength, courage and love,
Who was beautiful, soft and now peaceful and free as a dove.
Someone on who our admiration was built around,
For her womanhood, wife, friend and grandmother since she was brought into this ground.
We have truly learned the most from,
Your strength. We will always respect all you went through in your hardships and distinguished ways,
Your ability to hold yourself with such dignity and pride in all your days,
Your beauty shines in us all who were lucky to be part of your devoted family,
We will carry you in our eyes, minds, and hearts and hold you close by all you have taught us to do,
And to remember the beautiful women we owe our lives to,
For giving us life ,to blessing us with her strong inner spirit of courage,
and her unconditional love.
For being such a person in who will always and have always
held deep in our hearts now and here after.
Grandma, You are taking a little part of us with you and left a void that no one can ever fill and now you will follow your angels who will guide you to your precious place.
May you look down on us with pride on what you brought
into this world with your guidance in which you are now
truly our angel of grace.
My Darling Grandma, as you enter your new heavenly home,
may you rest in peace for which you truly deserve,
For you will be truly missed and remembered for your love and honor in which we will preserve.
We love you always and forever and may God be with you and may all your sins be forgiven.
Amen

Dedicated for My GrandMother who passed on 29-April-2015

The Rhythm of the Rain

He played to the rhythm of the rain,
a glass of blood red pinot noir at his feet,
an acoustic guitar balanced on his knee –
crooning the sounds of an
aching heart.
The acoustic paused its epitaph,
letting the patter of rain on an
aluminum roof
fill in the sounds where his friend
should have been.
He glanced at the empty wicker chair beside him
and wondered –
despite their ranging conversations
from music to Hell –
why they never discussed what one would do
without the other.

wrote this after interviewing a man who lost his best friend

The day you past

I remember the day , I didn't know what to say, stuck for words, everything seemed so blurred, I murdered a hug but people just shrugged I pretended I was ok but I have to say it didn't last too long just for the day,

No moment goes by that I don't wish you were here , lay awake at night trying to fight the tears, wishing you would come home , prove I'm not alone,

We'll meet again someday so they say and I pray that then you will stay, just hoping you're okay and at rest, the big man only takes the best, when he took you he passed that test

We all miss you like mad trying not be sad, put on a brave face just like dad .. To see you one more time would mean the world but maybe it would ruin the surprise of the future

When our day comes at least we know that we have a safe place to go with someone who cares I know you're up there somewhere watching me write this and keeping me safe telling me you're in a good place.

My very first poem I wrote after my grandad past away in 2010

RIP MS

I hope you all see the hashtag
#WEplayfor24
Wear pink in her honor,
Put ribbons on your doors.

Yes people do die daily,
Life is fleeting this is true.
But to take away the best of us
...leaves you wondering what to do.

Please take the time to read Madison's story on Twitter or the news. She was a beautiful soul.

Angel

Saturday, March 14, 2015 an angel was sent to heaven
and oh god was the next day horrible.
Getting that phone call at 6 in the morning from my dad saying you're gone.
I was at my friend's house and i woke her up from my crying.
God, i wish we were closer and i would've known.
I went to church that day, that Sunday morning i figured out.
and i thought about you. Later, i went to my aunts, your mom's.
Everyone was there.
I held your mom so tightly and just cried.
I didn't know my cousin had an addiction. You were only 18.
Why did you have to go so young?
Drugs are such a horrible thing, but i know you're happy now with your dad.
I'm so sorry, Brittani.
I love you so much, i know you're much better now though. I just wish you were still here.
You'll always be my angel.

RIP

All of a sudden you get a shock right through your body, your heart feels like its three times the weight that it was half a minute ago, and the tears start pouring down your face. You are mad, but in the exact same moment you feel so empty. Be strong, he would not want to see you grieving over him. Be happy for him being in a better place now. Not everything works out the way you want it to.

God gained another angel , RIP Uncle Steve.
