The feeling, when someone we love, drifts away
Like A balloon, Loose floating to the sky,
To A destination, who knows where,
I’ll always have colorful memories,
As I travel alone, and stare.

Everyone has dreams, about their life,
The way they think it should be, many change, you must let them go,
If you do not, you will live the rest of your life, creating and living in misery.
You are in this life to make your soul stronger, any challenge, has some pain,
You can use the tools you have to build, a happier better future,
For you will never be able to go back and create the past again.
Everyone is on a different journey in this life, to be happy, you must learn to forgive,
If you keep thinking of the negatives from your past, you block the door,
And keep positives in your future, from coming in.
Anyone can create excuses, eliminating things they should learn, and enjoy, this time,
Often the path in front of you is like a red carpet, then you make up those lame excuses,
Remember failure, is a part of every one’s life this time, although if you never try,
You live the rest of this life, creating more doubts and confusion in your mind.
In this material world every one has their greed, it seems the first advice all doctor’s give,
Stop drinking, smoking, enjoying life, get all your drugs from me, then you,
Start questioning every minor ach and pain, after your hooked, that’s all you talk,
And think about, your last appointment, and when the next will be, with no guarantee,
Of a longer happier, or healthier life, you will live or ever see.
We each go through many mud puddles during life this time, you can always complain,
About ***** shoes, or clean them, and give those shoes a sparkling shine,
The same works for those, dreams that never materialized, and the negative,
Thoughts you repeat and hold inside over time, for if you do not clean them,
Let them be, the rest of this life,
You will always have a ***** mind.

Almost everyone has a loved one,
You can count on, at any time,
It could be a, sibling, parent, child or partner,
A feeling of security, always in your mind.
I  remember those feelings,
Then they began to fade,
All of my people now, are buried in their graves.
I’ve been asked, are you lonely,
It just becomes a numb feeling, I carry inside,
One thing I know is certain, I’m the next in line to die.
I do not want sympathy, or sit around all day, and cry,
No one said this life, would be easy, always, give it your best try.
You should never waste your time, in this short life,
Have confidence, in yourself, your thoughts, you must rearrange,
Especially on situations you have no means to change.
God gave us this life, we only have this one season,
Never give up discovering your soul, for any reason.

Feelings, emotions, smiles, and tears,
Someone, you can count on, to be there,
Whenever, life brings you, fears.
A person, who won’t run,
From the unexpected times,
As you share ideas, for future plans,
They will listen, while giving comfort,
Even if, it’s just holding your hand.
You cannot create true love,
As if you were planning a meal,
Shopping, at A mart,
Just looking for a certain, ingredients,
Age, wealth, and looks,
That is trying to create, a situation,
A reason, many relationships,
Fall apart

Love is so hard to explain,
Hopefully, all involved, are thinking the same,
For many these days, just use the word, as a game,
Causing others, to drop tears, like rain.
To love, you have to, totally trust,
Love does not appear, from hours, of lust,
You have to keep feeding love, to avoid, any rust,
Actions and words, have to match, that’s, a must.

We use to be close together, shared good times,
Helped each other through, bad weather.
There were few days, you would see us apart,
We had A friendship that connected,
Right from the start.
We could feel each other’s emotions,
As if we shared the same mind,
We would guide each other through, lonely times.
Our last time together, was just A normal day,
Then for reasons unknown, our friendship,
Just drifted away.
Over the years we cross paths, it’s just like the old days,
Then we part again, journey our separate ways.
We all have friends, we hold so close in our mind,
When we think of them,
A feeling of peace, happiness, comes every time.
During this life, most friendships, will drift apart,
We will only have A few, we keep as memories,
Close to our heart.
