The Path
Toni Jan 2011
I walk the path
not knowing my destination
I walk the path
not knowing where I am
I walk the path
sometimes happy and sometimes sad
I walk the path
sometimes excited and sometimes angry
I walk the path
making choices
I walk the path
living breathing sharing laughing crying
But most important
I walk the path of life not knowing where I'm heading
and in no rush to get there

Where Were You
Toni Jan 2011
Where were you
when your family was crying
where were you when your
daughter was growing up
where were you
when your son was crying every night
where were you
when your kids were not all right
where were you
when your daughter had her prom
where were you
when your son was lost and confused
where were you
when your daughter graduated high school
where were you
all those times we needed you
where were you when
our mom had to work two jobs just to support us
where were  you
when our mother was our rock
where were you
when your children were learning life's pain
where were you
when your kids were making choices
where were you
when you were not making any effort to see us
you weren't there
did you even care
we may forgive
but we will never forget

Life's Work
Toni Jan 2012
Create the beginning
Mend the broken
Forget the beckoning

Write the canvas
Alter the conscious
Make the cut

Get the degree
Go the distance
Gain the discipline

Achieve the experience
Embrace the essentials
Finish the ending

Free
Toni Jan 2011
I look out onto the fields that spread for miles
I see the animals of beauty strength and free will
I see their majestic forms and I am breathless
I can stay in this place forever
I can breath them in with every breath
I can see their wild side and the will in their eyes to stay free
I can see their loving side and the way they are with their loved ones
I could watch them graze for eternity
I could try to tame them but I would never forgive myself
For they are the the free spirited Mustang's of the wild

I can't see you
Toni Jan 2011
I walk alone along the path of nothing
I can’t see you can you see me
I reach for the eternal bliss of hope
I can’t feel you can you feel me
I feel myself reach the edge of no return
I don’t remember you do you remember me
I feel myself falling until there is nothing left
I’m with you are you with me

This isn't Goodbye
Toni May 2011
I know there is no hope
but I don't believe it
I know you will soon be gone
but I don't believe it

I love you so much
but I don't want to let you go
I will miss you so much
but I don't want to let you go

I know I will see you again
You will soon be free
to roam the mountains
and fly over the water

You will soon be able to rest
and be in peace
I Love You Donna
and will miss you everyday

These are the days
Toni Apr 2011
These are the days we will never forget
The days of partying until the sun rises
The days of being stupid with friends
The days of making epic memories

These are the days where we can be the most confused and lost
The days where we don't know who we are
The days of not knowing what path to take
The days of not knowing what we want to be in life

These are the days where we learn to be ourselves
The days where we grow and learn
The days where we make our biggest mistakes
The days where we make or don't make our dreams come true

These are the days
Where we grow up
And find out who we are and who we will be

— The End —
