Photographic Memories

I went through all our old photographs

memories made over thirteen years

Pictures worth a million words

that bring my soul to tears.

I study each one carefully

replaying the memories in my mind

looking for clues of what the future would hold

and the heartache it would leave behind

Smiling children, visiting new places

a canoe trip, a wedding, the park

How could we have known that summer day at the Lake

how quickly our bright lives would turn dark

Birthday smiles and Christmas mornings

Putt Putt golf and a day at the beach

So carefree and not knowing how soon

happiness would be out of our reach

Our passage through life captured on paper

If not for the photos would soon disappear

Fade out of our minds like the love in our hearts

bittersweetly remembered through the years.

I Hate To Cry

"I'm not scared of anything"

I wish my lie was true.

I don't want help,

"I don't need anything from you!"

I hate when I cry.

I hate when I'm scared.

My life is going by

I can't feel anything, anywhere.

I'm sad and depressed

I'm weak an abused.

I'm told I'm bad.

I just don't know what to do.

"I don't want your help"

But I don't want to cry.

"Leave me here"

"Just say good-bye!"

"So your gone....?"

"Good riddance" I say!

I guess I'm going to cry for

Just one more day!

Water Droplets

So much depends upon the little water droplets

falling from your big brown eyes

about to run down your rosy red cheeks

Coming from somewhere lying deep down inside your heart

Yet in the end all they are and will ever be

are little water droplets

running down your rosy red cheeks

My inner Child

Looking through the window

There is a small child

Sitting with his pillow

He has been there for a while

He is nervous about the room

And the place where he stands

His smile turns to gloom

When he sees my large hands

Looking deeper through the pane

To see what is wrong

He’s not sure he is sane

He has been there way to long

As I peer into the glass

This child starts to fade

Leaving no mass

And me standing in the shade

Your Star

I miss you so much

But I can still feel your touch

I preyed to you last night

As I hold on tight

I look up and I cry

A tear drops upon the floor

I look for more and more

Another star means another death

I miss you so much

I love your touch

It’s not the same without you

That’s so true

You should still be here

Holding on to me

I miss you so much you mean a lot to me
