Bonding

Bonds, insurmountable, indescribable
Father son, Father daughter
Mother son, Mother daughter
Push, Pull, Give, Take.

Unbreakable bonds
Feeling, knowing, being
Talking, laughing, crying
Mine, mine, mine.

Some bonds are undeniable.
Unrelenquishing bonds
Binding bonds that never let go.
Bonds that are all about letting go.

Peace, quiet, tranquil
Tense, nervous, frustrated.
Always there always with you,
Miss you, take me with you.

Believing so......

(art by: dedpan.deviantart.com)

If you believe hard enough

does that make it so?

Some people say yes,

Some people say no.

For me I choose yes,

No would be too bleak.

I'm a glass half full person,

Every day of the week.

So for now I'll close my eyes,

And wish I may, wish I might.

Hopefully soon when I open my eyes,

It will have all come true, in spite.........

Some semblance of a poem

Stress
The bane of my existance.
Cold frigid weather
Snow upon snow upon snow.
Bundle layer, turtlenecks are all too small.
Or maybe I'm just too tall.

Maybe that is it.
New pants,
Hubby likes.
Tight today, water weight go away.

Driving in snow, watching snow fall,
My whole world is snow.
Did I mention it's snowing........
AGAIN?

Tomorrow is another day.
I'm tired and need to sleep.
Had a power nap at noon,
It wasn't enough.

The END!

The whistling nose....

I have a nose,
A nose that grows.

He itches and tickles
And whistles with air.

Snot an buggers run
Like a spicket turned on.

Today I hate my nose
Hopefully tomorrow it will be gone.

In case you haven't figured it out......I have sinus issues today.  It started this morning with a sore throat.  Now it's like a cold.  It is however cloistered in my sinus, which is the MOST annoying thing!  Lots of things going on behind my ears..........I never get sick.  Although I'm not sure it's a cold or virus.  It's acting more like an infection.......stress brought this on.  STRESS I TELL YOU!!!!!

Hoping to feel better sooner than later.

Memories......

Memories falling like leaves
orange, red, yellow
crisp and curled on the edges.

Images shimmering back
haze, fog, playback
movie reels clicking by.

Smiles caught forever on paper
moments, lasting, eternal
the flood gates open once again.

Ahhhh the memories
tapped, perused, refiled
always there in the background.

It's who we are
what made us today
all those memories locked away.

I've been in a reminiscing sort of mood.  A call from an old friend I haven't heard from in a long time threw my brain back through the years.  Awesome memories, troublesome memories, if only, what ifs, whys......all racing around in my head.  A different life in a different place.  Can we take back just portions of our life and not the rest?  No, just move forward.  Learn from past experiences, mistakes and not so mistakes and keep moving forward.  Sometimes we may move in a circle and come back to what we left off with. 

I find that certain people in our lives always cross our paths.  Usually multiple times, in different phases in our lives.  They are connected to us, they all come back around. 

Remembering loved ones past and present......

Hailey and poetry and rhyming and..........

If I had it all to do again
I would do it the same,
Over and over again.

The same three wishes,
the same favorite dishes,
the same colors and fishes.

The same boyfriend,
the same break-up,
the same heart-ache, again.

And why you ask,
Why would I suffer and laugh all the same?
Why would I choose it all again?

Because if I didn't,
If I didn't do it all again,
There wouldn't be you.........

My baby girl.


This is a poem I wrote for my baby girl Hailey........who most of you know is not a baby anymore!  But I like it.  What more is there to say?  Why don't we go eat hay, down by the bay in the middle of the day............Crap, make the rhyming stop!

Now I'll have to go mop, or pick up the slop or shop, yeah.....shop!

Ok, I really have to go now!

LOVE

Oh, there in the distance
I hear it, I see it,
I long for it,
To touch it, to feel it
Warm, comforting, eternal.

I reach and reach,
Are my arms long enough?
Will my fingers ever get there?
Ah yes, they will.

I've found it, touched it,
Held it, comforted it
and now it's gone.....
It fades, away, away

My heart aches
and I long for it again.
Stronger now, as I know,
I know now what IT is.

LOVE

I see it everywhere and watch it everywhere.  It is in all our daily lives, and today I choose love over hate and death and destruction.  I'll close my eyes to all else today and see only the love all around me, because today that is all I can handle.  Everything else will have to wait for another day..............

I challenge all of you to see ONLY all the LOVE around you for at least one day.............the rest can wait!

Go experience the love.......you'll never want to come back.
