Love can’t be forced
Or bought , or sold
It can’t be compared
To diamonds or gold.
It can’t be rushed or
Taken too slow
Love knows the pace
It must take to grow.
Love is not chocolate
Or homemade fudge
It encorages forgivness
Love holds no grudge
Love is a feelings
That can’t be denied
Love won’t be destroyd
Or pushed aside.
Love is all around you
And it’s not hard to find.
If you can not see it,
your heart must be blind.

I want to know you
Your heart and soul
Inside and out
Head to toe
I want to kiss you
a thousand times a day
And stand beside you
Come what may
I want to know your dreams
Your hopes, your fears
And I want you to know
I’m always here
And all these things
I want with you
I NEED to know
You want them too.
If you let me love you
If you Let me love you
like no other before
Surely you will see
Only God could love you more.
With my love comes inspiration
In me you ‘ll find your muse
You will succeed in Life
With my love you cannot lose
With my love comes support
As I stand here by your side
Lifting you or catching you
From my love you will not hide.
With my love comes adoration
For I truly believe in you
In my eyes you are perfection
There is nothing you cant do.
With my love comes a faithfulness
You’ll find I’m your best friend
You will learn to trust and lean on me
In my love you can depend.
With my love you will only lose
all the doubt that floods your mind
lust, jealousy and impatience
In my love you will not find.
You will no longer know misery
Or loneliness and fear
heartache and emptiness
you will not suffer here.
With my love you no longer need
to use armor for protection
no walls to hide behind
In my love you’ll fine affection
If you let me love you
your fears I’ll put to rest
Of all those who can love you
Only I can love you best..
For CW, because he asked me to
Never will I admit
Never will I reveal
what you do to me
how you make me feel
I can see so clearly
you feel it as much
I see it in your eyes
everytime we touch.
Images of us
Are fantasies forbidden
Though it’s just a crush
I’ll keep my feelings hidden.
When you walked up today
Just to say hello
It took my breath away
But you must never know
How is it that you
can stir emotions so deep
And yet be unaware
Of the secret I must keep?
The first day back to school
The summer went so fast
My girls are growing up
Why can’t these moments last?
I was so excited
as I woke each one to say
"Get up! It’s time for school"
"Can’t be late on the first day"
With new shoes and clothes
And a fortune spent on supplies
Soon a spark replaced
the sleepy in their eyes.
Then hair and teeth were brushed
as we scurried out the door.
This is when they told me
What I hadn’t known before.
This year they would be riding
The school bus to the school
I didn’t need to drive them
Having mOm there wasn’t cool.
I felt my heart start breaking
as they climbed upon the bus
They didn’t want my help,
Who was I to fuss?
all I’ve ever hoped
to pass on to each one
Was for them to be independent
Now I guess that part’s begun.
As the old bus drove away
I slowly walked back inside
I felt no longer needed
As I sat in the floor and cried.
I remember once I said
I looked forward to this day
And now that it is here
I wish it would go away.
So on the first day back to school
I sit alone, with tear-filled eyes
My children are all grown up
And I hate how fast time flies
To Beth and Rache
I’m not sure If I told you
how much I appreciate
the many times you saved my ass
With kids, homework, and dates.
Please allow me this opportunity
because I want to tell you now
your good deeds will be rewarded
someday, someway, somehow
I wish I could snap my fingers
and make all this go away
things would be like they once were
and the two of you would stay
I know you wont be far away
and I hope we can stay in touch
It sucks that you aren’t just next door
and that we won’t hang out as much.
I didn’t expect to feel this way
I didn’t think I would be so sad.
I didn’t realize how much I love you guys
I didn’t recognize what we’ve had.
I can’t think of a single time
when you weren’t there for me
you were always there to listen
and to show me things I couldn’t see.
You have been more than just neighbors
to us you’ve been a friend
You were compassionate, and giving
on you we could depend.
Please don’t forget about us
For you will always be
Our most favorite neighbors
Especially to me.
And when you look back on the days
of your time in number 9
remember the girls in #10
And visit us sometime.
6-1-05 (wg)Entering
into my dreams
foolish
it must seem
allowing
you back inside
knowing
before, I cried
craving
your caress
Trembling
I confess
Exhale
I breath you in
Undress
I’ll be your skin
Loving
you so much
Submissive
to your touch
Passion
in our midst
knowing
you were missed
Guilt
rushes in
Reality
of your sin
Begging
you to stay
Hating
this new day
Dreaming
of you again
Fantasies
omit the pain
Caressing
is your touch
Longing
passions clutch
Undressing
You’re my skin
Exhaling
I breath you in
Thrusting
Into me
Forever
Won’t you be
Revealing
my entire soul
Completely
you make me whole
Rising
the morning sun
Reaching
finding none.
Tearstained pillows
bittersweet rhymes
Scars on a heart
Repaired many times
Abandoned by Love
Orphaned by fate
As destiny Teases
Yet patiently you wait.
Tempted and betrayed
By infatuation and lust
A hard lesson learned
Unfair and unjust
Endurance , Persistence
now around you dance
because you believed
in Love and Romance
AS A Mother
I know I haven’t been
Who I promised you I’d be.
The moment I first held you
The day God gave you to me.
I want so many things for you
that is why I push you so.
If I let you repeat all my mistakes
It will only hurt us both.
You deserve all life can offer
Don’t let it slip away.
I will be here for you
Every moment, Every day.
I lay awake at night
Thinking back on words I said
I fear I was too hateful
As the day plays in my head.
And as I lay there sleepless
tormented by the voices in my head
I fear that I have hurt you
I go to kneal beside you bed.
I cry there in silence
while peacefully you dream
Please God let her forgive me
For today I was so mean
I love you so much it hurts me,
My heart breaks for you each time
I see your confidence weaken
I know the fault is mine.
I guess I shouldn’t question
when every single day
You can’t stand to be here with me
You can’t wait to run away.
Oh how I want to tell you
How much you mean to me
But I shouldn’t have to TELL you
It should be what you see.
So I will make this promise
If it is not too late for me
To be a better Mother to you
The Mother I said I’d be.
YOUR MEMORY
IT CAUGHT UP WITH ME TODAY
I WAS COMPLETELY UNAWARE
I WISH I’D SEEN IT COMING
HAD MORE TIME TO PREPARE
IT RATTLED MY HEART , RIPPED OUT MY SOUL
UNTIL I WAS SURE I COULD TAKE NO MORE
BUT IT DIDN’T LET UP , IT WOULDN’T LET GO
I COULDN’T SHAKE IT LIKE THE TIME BEFORE
SHOWING NO MERCY AS I LAY THERE
WHERE IT KNOCKED ME ON THE GROUND
AS SOON AS I THOUGHT THE MOMENT HAD PASSED
IT RETURNED FOR ANOTHER ROUND
THIS TIME IT SHOOK ME HARDER
MY HEART POUNDING IN MY HEAD
I GUESS IT WASN’T SATISFIED
THAT JUST MY SOUL WAS DEAD
IT PROVED TO BE MUCH STRONGER
AND MY BODY WAS GETTING WEAK
AS REALITY WAS SINKING IN
I BEGAN TO FEAR DEFEAT.
NOW THE WILL TO FIGHT ABANDON ME
I HAVE TO LET IT WIN
I NEVER THOUGHT YOUR MEMORY
WOULD BE WHAT DID ME IN.

You say the things
I have longed to hear
whispering promises
Sounding sincere.
I want to believe
what you say is real
your touching me
your breath I feel.
My heart is melting
your voice is hypnotic
every piece of you
to me, is erotic.
I am losing this battle
my defenses you shatter
the wall crumbles down
but it doesn’t matter.
A hopeless romantic
will always give in
pointless to fight it
Love will always win.
Laughter Is The Key
Yesterday I sat in amazement
as a watched my brothers son
laughing with his daddy
both having so much fun.
In this perfect moment
my heart filled up with joy
As I watched my little brother
become a little boy.
I knew this little boy
who had come out to play
For it wasn’t long ago
he made me laugh that way.
As I watched the two boys playing
I was suddenly aware
To see my brother in this light
was a sight so rare.
Unable to drown out the sounds
The laughter filled my ears.
Perhaps that’s when I realized
I had not laughed in years.
The laughter coming from them
Was as contagious as the flu
and soon they had me laughing
And playing with them too.
Being a single parent
Is a struggle everyday
So many things I must get done
leaves me no time for play
But there was a little girl
locked up inside of me
Desperate to come out
Now I have found the key.
So today the dirty dishes
And other chores can wait
Im going to play with my children
Before it is too late.
Like Peter and Wendy
In Never land
You and I
go hand in hand
Forever with you
Never growing old
A love everlasting
Never growing cold
And when we reach
our one-thousandth day
will you look
to me and say
"You are my lover
You’re my best friend
Our Fairy Tale
Shall never end"
And from the sky
you take a star
I make a wish
And here you are.
Now I know
Wishes come true
Because tonight,
I wished for you.
6-23-05
To Tommy
All my life I have heard
Perhaps you've heard it too,For each of us there is some "ONE'
That special mate for you.
Suppose someone belived it
sat out to find the "one"
Imagine she got lucky
With him a new life begun.
But what if circumstances
That neither could avoid
took thier love away
leaving them both destroyed?
Now some of you may say
I'm an old romantic fool
But I just can't believe
that fate could be so cruel
Now sometimes life gets crazy
In spite of the good we do
So I believe Fate was aware
So she prepared for us a "TWO"
Of course it 's just a theory
and one I cannot prove,
but if you have lost the "One"
Perhaps you have a "TWO"
A special day approaches
It comes just once a year
There’s something I must say
And something you must hear.
It isn’t that uncommon
A topic of conversation
Dad’s who aren’t around
No support or visitation
Now I ‘m a single mother
And lately I have found
Everywhere I look I find
More single dads around
And as I get to know them
It is revealed to me
this is not a part time dad
This man has custody
So as Father’s Day draws closer
Let’s not forget about
The many single dad’s out there
No wife to help them out.
And to the single dad
A simple word of advice
You will be rewarded
For your sacrifice.
One more thing before I go
One thing I’d like to say
To each and every Dad
A Happy Father’s Day !
Written for the many single dads I know and adore.
Great Job you Guys!!!
Greg, Kerry, Tommy, Tom, Johnny, Dan, Brian Presley, Mike P., Ron, Doug B., Brad, and many more. Happy Father's Day!
