Do You Remember?
Do you remember us staying up till the break of dawn?
Laughing and talking till all night long.
Do you remember all the silly fights we had
Screaming and hollering when we were mad?
Now I look back and think that they were not so bad.
Do you remember all our clothes we had were hand me downs
Spending our summers with Grandma and her taking us into town?
Do you remember the beatings we got from dad
Even if it was over something not so bad?
Do you remember us being so close
Sharing each others dreams and thoughts?
Do you remember all the hateful things dad said?
He not only messed with our lives but also our heads.
Do you remember the day you told mom what I thought was my little secret?
How that day changed everyone’s lives, she only made me feel alone and rejected.
Do you remember always being able to stand your ground with dad?
You were never afraid to say what was on your mind.
Do you remember being so strong and in control?
I was so jealous of you and wished I could be like you.
Do you remember when things changed between us?
We were once close and then one day we were miles apart.
Tell me what happened that changed things between us.
Tell me do you remember?

Autumn
Autumn
The leaves start to fall from the trees
There is a gentle or brisk blow from the breeze.
Everything is changing colors
To brown, yellow or orange.
All the animals scurry to gather their food
so they can provide for their families in the months ahead.
The flowers slowly fall asleep
some are just planted in the ground so deep.
There seems to be a nip in the air
and not the hot and humidity that was once there.
Our summer vacation is over
its back to school and work we go.
Car pools, PTA's, staff meetings and answering telephones
no basking in the sun, its off to meetings and conferences.
The time will change
only to give us an extra hour in the day.
I love this time of the season
but I also sit and dream of another season.
How it also changes things even greater than the next.
Summer comes and goes with a sigh
and then as Autumn approaches, we greet it with a cheerful Hi.

Another day (poem by me)
Another day
another way
to show you
how much I love you
how much you mean to me
There is no mountain high enough
there is no valley low enough
to keep me from loving you
My love grows stronger every day
I think of you day and night
We will be together forever one day
no matter what it takes, we will find a way
when I look into your eyes
I can see forever looking back at me
When you hold me tight in your arms
I feel warm and safe inside
Thats where I long to be always.

A Toast to love ( a poem by me)
A toast to love
A toast to love
for the feelings that it gives us
Happy, sad, high and low
for the roller coaster ride it gives us
We can cry tears of happiness or sadness
but we do this all because of love
Love can lift us up so high
that we sometimes think we can reach the sky
Love can also make us cry
and make us often wonder why
so let us give a toast to this thing we called love and to all the feelings that it has to bring.

A Seed ( a poem by me)
A Seed
Our love is like a seed
You plant it
You water it
You watch it grow
Every day our love continues to blossom
until it is a beautiful flower
Our love continues to grow and strengthen
more and more every day
it will last until eternity
Eventhough we face many obstacles
and the leaves fall off one by one
the next ones grow back stronger and better than before
and eventhough the seasons change
and the flowers seem to sleep
the feelings we have for each other will only grow deeper and deeper.

A Love Gone Bad ( a poem by me)
A Love Gone Bad
We came together as one
Loving, sharing and trusting each other
We laughed and cried together
Hoping that it would last forever
Our love growing stronger and stronger every day
Letting no one or nothing get in the way
As time went by things started to change
Truth became lies and love was turned into rage
As the rage grew and grew
There was only one thing left to do
It was time to go our separate ways
Hoping to find another love another day
With all that has been said and done
Only time could ease the hurt and pain that was done
Learning to share and trust once more
Opening our hearts to love once more
I am glad that we had this time together
I am just sad that it didn’t last forever

A Hospital Stay (poem by me)
A Hospital Stay
I am in a room with four walls
laying on a bed and looking at the ceiling
waiting to see what the next day or two may bring me
the nurse tries to find a vein to stick an iv in
they stick and stick until my hand is sore
Finally they find one but it does not stay in
The nurses are slow in giving my medicine
when they know I should be on a schedule
but then again they want to give me another dose
just when I had one two hours ago
As I lay here trying to sleep
I break out in a cold sweat
Then feeling like I'm going to pass out
I get to feeling weaker, calling for a nurse
Knowing that my sugar has dropped
and I need to get some before I go into a coma
I call and it seems like it takes forever for someone to come
Finally you show up to check on my sugar
and as I suspected it is low and I need sugar fast
As you are giving me dextrose 50 in my vein
I start feeling better as it goes in
you also bring me juice and something to eat
then I start feeling better as my sugar starts to raise
the next day, the food you bring me to eat
is not what I am to have according to my doctor
I have to call the dietician to get it right
hoping that my lunch will come to me right
I am wanting to go home
but my doctor tells me I still have to much fluid built up
My legs are so tight and they hurt so bad
that I am taking pain pills every 6 hours
I can not stand on my feet
or get my shoes on
I am so tired of being sick
I try so hard to do what the doctor tells me
why is it not working?
I just want to be well
Just why am I going through so much hell
I will be so glad to get home and in my bed
I am so tired of looking at the same four walls
