In another life
there’d be no
shattered hearts
no lashing tongues
no broken parts
second chances would be
pearls in our palms
there’d be no storm
only divine calm
no hurting souls
feeling empty inside
In another time
love would weave
through lives
creating peace
and a will to survive

multiplying like
playful bunnies, at least they’re
a nice shade of green

their desire is
similar to ours, you see,
the warmth of the sun

safety in numbers
invading where blooms should be
their defense is strong

(I look out my kitchen window
and I see too many!)
🙂
Do you hear the music?
Isn’t this our song?
The night you held me closely
and I knew I belonged
Do you hear my heartbeat
so in sync with yours?
It’s amazing how well we’ve fit
throughout all these years
Do you know the spell you cast
when you look into my eyes?
My knees fall weak, my dreams are you
Your love makes me high
Our happiness and hills we’ve climbed
are tightly in our minds
They’re for the scrapbook we created
full of laughter and times we cried
I wish for twenty-four more,
of making memories with you
I wouldn’t be complete, My Love,
You’re my rock; My Love so true

Happy 24th Anniversary to my Hubby
and I’m posting this to share, not to brag,
because I wish this happiness for everyone!
Sending love and hugs! ♥♥
Just when you think
all is worked out
A wrench is thrown in
creating new doubt
Your mind is befuddled
Your breathing sporadic
Bitterness comes a knockin’
Life becomes problematic
But don’t think you’re incapable
of crawling through the haze
Don’t think you’ve exhausted
all the feasible ways
Even though life’s been
a true humdinger
In your dark and sour mood
You must not linger
Get up, dust off
Stop your yammerin’
or you’ll start your family
and friends all a clamorin’
Does absolutely no good
to frequently niggle, so
when you’re feelin’ down,
form a grin and try a giggle!
(This is an oldie
from February of last year,
but I thought we all could use
a smile today! )

from the light of your
smile, in each teardrop that falls
my love grows stronger

A prelim to our 24th Anniversary
♥
Turn the pages from the past
Put your worries in last place
In those fretting times
where hope has vanished
search for a caring embrace
Use a shoulder if it’s offered
when tears begin to fall
They’re not a sign of weakness
but a cleansing of the soul
Take advantage of the sunshine
warming your spirit with it’s rays
and even when the clouds are rolling
there’s always reason for praise
Faith, Love and Strength
follow Hope in each new day
and with each precious baby step
You will find your way

This is dedicated to my family
and anyone who needs a “small helping”
of inspiration. ♥
We sail through life smoothly
until a wave knocks us down
with no means for escaping
no turning around or backing away
We’re still caught in the aftermath
of that dismal day
The best move is to dive in head first
We may get hurt
where our emotions could run so wild
that our souls would be fully drained
from the collision of shock,
new found pain
Where tears could fall so long and hard
that face muscles would begin to dance
and our happiness would be scarred
Our only choice then,
is to move forward
We must learn to deal
the hand we’re dealt
and consent to acceptance
With weeping more infrequent
and the embracing of strength
Our eyes will open to the light and follow
allowing Hope and Faith
to enter our hearts once again

Dedicated to my family
with all my heart. ♥
I loved you not too long ago
My heart gently placed you
on a pedestal
You remained there
and could do no wrong
How beautifully we belonged
Then the pavement cracked
and I found myself
straddling both sides
trying to decide which was right
watching where my heartbeat landed
My mind was stranded
somewhere in the middle
where nothing made sense
and two and two made five
I was alive
but my time was up
I had to choose
and lose a part of me
Though forever
our love didn’t last
you will always
be a vision from my past
Maybe down the road
our lives might chance to mingle
and we could feel that hold
Just a slight tingle again
