step outside to morning quiet
No a soul is sight
The world slowly starts to wake
From a long and peaceful night
Color returns to the sky
As the stars go to sleep
This is a picture is my mind I will forever keep
Peaceful morning as cars drive by
It's such a beautiful day I will not lie
As I look up towards the sky
I close my eyes and take a deep breath
How I love morning quiet

Last one to be picked for a team
Last one to be asked to see a movie on the big screen
Always wondered what I am doing wrong
Used to playing by myself and listening to songs
Far from the prettiest girl in school
I never played by there rules
Not skinny enough or had perfect hair
Just wanted some friends who were fair
Finally asked to the prom by a guy
2 weeks later he said goodbye
Last to be asked to the big dance
All I ever wanted was a chance
Guess I will last in everything I do
Another rough patch to get through
Often wondered why people couldn't see me for who I am
I'm not looking for attention or pulling a scam
I guess the answers I will never find
Just want people to see to be honest and kind
Last One

As young kids we were so naive
Whatever someone told you
You would believe
People grow up and apart
I wish I would have known that from the start
I was always alone
I never fit in
Was always the one picked last in gym
Over the years you see what your old friends have done
Some have succeeded, others have failed
Some have hit the open trail
I look back at that time and wish things could have been better.
Sometimes I wish I could write those people letters
I would say to the bullies
You have not won!!!
I am skinnier now and I do not weigh a ton
I have succeeded in life, I am on my second career
What have you done in the past year?
Looking back on my life , it made me who I am
I learned how to take a stand
Looking back, I'm glad I am who I am

Lost in time I find my dreams

Open my eyes nothing is what it seems

Daydreams come few and far between

I see myself in fields of green

Far off places, no car can find

Place of peace, persons so kind

Peaceful lakes and blankets of trees

Green pastures as far as the eye can see



Lost in time I find myself

Back from when I put my life on a shelf

Almost grown my children are

Goals they set, they will go far



Lost in time, the older I become

Maybe now its time for fun

Putting everyone else before me

Now it's time for my spirit to be free

I close my eyes my imagination soars

So many things for me to explore

In my life I want so much more

Mother Natures Anger

Blowing breezes, wind chimes sing
Who knows what today's weather will bring
Clouds in the sky, dark and mean
Pouring rain makes grass green
Earth drinks until can't drink any more
Here comes the floods across the floor
Families run to the door
Mother Natures angry, her fury rages
I can no longer see the rain guages
Angry winds scream fiercely and loud
Blacker than black storm clouds
Pieces of homes and trees in the sky
Funnel cloud creeping down, see it fly
Pain and destructive what it brings
When it ends, it destroyed everything
Darkness slowly starts to fade
Trees are gone, no more shade
Blowing winds, silence reigns
Out from the rubble you can see the plains
Mother natures anger is finally gone
Slowly you open your eyes here comes the dawn

Looking over the meadow everything so green
Its all so serene
Flowers and trees move in the wind
Who knows what we may find
I breath deep all the fresh air
Not a single worry or care
I take a deep breath and close my eyes
Then I raise my head to the sky
Sunshine feels wonderful on my face
I will return to this place
I take a deep breath one last time
Before the lunch bell chimes
Now its time to go
Return to the work flow
I dream of when we return
only to breath that fresh air again

Alone I sit because certain friends are no more
They call, I won't run out the door
Different paths our lives have taken
Only to see who you truly are, my eyes awaken
I will not apologize for who I am
You knew who I was since our friendship began
You want more from me than I can give
Alone you will be and how you'll live
I'm done giving in to everyone else
Maybe your issues will fix itself
Time for me to move on and live my life
I am far from the perfect mother and wife
My heart is saddened by the way you are
Continue this way and you won't get far
