  • Tomorrow’s not Promised

    There comes a time in life when you have to realize this is it… when everything around you changes and you feel like you have changed as well. This is called “growing up”.

    In a life full of questions, in a life full of fun, there isn’t a moment that passes that I wonder is this the one?

    Is this the one time that I’ll make this mistake
    Is this the one time I’ll cry
    Is this the one time I’ll laugh
    Or is this all a lesson of which I’ve passed?

    Time is an essence
    a tick of the clock
    when you look around you
    nothing has stopped.

    Every     day passes
    another day gone
    another day older
    another day closer.

    Live your life to the fullest
    and have no regrets
    because tomorrow’s not promised
    but today…
    today I live
    today I grow
    today i tell you i love you
    Tomorrow, I just don’t know…

  • The Pride of Our Country – Happy 4th of July

    The Pride of Our Country

    Today as before, our brave do fight
    For a land they love, a flag so right

    The pride of our country, yes they are
    The strength of our nation, best by far

    Just as our brave from each war gone by
    They march for us proudly, flag held high

    From all over this land they come to serve
    They’re taught by the best, this they deserve

    When troops give their all, the world does see
    Whether serving on land, in the air, or at sea

    The pride from this country, march through war
    With home drawn strength, held deep in their core

    Our best are so awesome, their loved ones well know
    May God guide their journey where they – for us – go

    What these brave must have is support from their own
    The love from their people, firm thankfulness shown

    Our greatest achievement is that we’re still free
    Please take time and ponder who caused this to be

  • Life’s Obstacles – Poem

    Life’s Obstacles

    Life is hard
    Life is weak
    Life is everything you seek

    When we live in a world full of hate
    We live with hate
    When we live in a world full of love
    We find love
    When we live in a world full of joy
    We seek joy.

    Life is hard
    Life is good
    Life is what we make of it.

    Live.Love.Laugh

  • My Best Friend…

    My Best Friend

    We have known each other for way too long
    You aren’t just my best friend
    You are like a sister at all costs.

    We have been through ups and downs
    at one point we didn’t talk
    life moved on
    and then one day out of no where
    you came back into my life
    it was has if we never stopped talking
    as if we had never been apart
    that’s how you truly know this friendship will never part.

    You mean the world to me
    everything you do
    I know if I need you
    You’ll help me through

    If you’re ever in a bind
    I hope you know I’ll do the same
    No matter what time or day
    I’ll always be here
    Just call out my name…

    I know it sounds corny
    but the saying is true
    Friends for Ever
    Just Me & YOU!

    Dedicated to my best friend Grace – I have known her for over 15 years now and she is like a sister to me in so many ways. I was inspired to write this poem after she wrote me a sweet message on my facebook page. She just got married, and I was so lucky to have been chosen as her Maid of Honor…. It is truly a blessing when you find a true friend for life… Love you….

  • Get Your Own Friend

    Get your own Friends

    Get your own friends
    why do you have to seek out mine?
    are you not over it?
    give up your pride…

    Tell me a story
    the one that fell apart
    the one that left you
    and died out your heart

    Get your own friends
    leave mine alone
    is it not enough that it ended,
    that you keep lurking around my door?

    Time is of essence
    we all have to move on
    leave it alone now
    leave it be
    leave, leave, leave…

    Get out of my mind
    out my head
    leaving was the best thing
    if not I’d be dead

    Get your own friends
    just leave mine alone
    find a new hobby
    find a new friend
    just stop trying to steal mine instead…

    This was inspired by a dream a friend told me about. She stopped being friends with her child hood friend and she started hanging out with her friends and taking them from her, she just wanted to move on from their friendship, but every time she turned around, she was there. Hope you enjoyed the poem.

  • Happy St. Patrick’s Day 2011

    Happy St. Patrick’s Day 2011

    Saint Patrick’s Day is a religious holiday celebrated internationally on the 17th of March. It is named after Saint Patrick (c. AD 387–461), the most commonly recognized of the patron saints of Ireland. It originated as a Catholic holiday and became an official feast day in the early 17th century. It has gradually become more of a secular celebration of Irish culture. (via Wikipedia.org

    Here is a fun poem for St. Patrick’s Day…. ENJOY

    I’ll Wear a Shamrock

    St. Patrick’s Day is with us,
    The day when all that’s seen
    To right and left and everywhere
    Is green, green, green!

    And Irish tunes they whistle
    And Irish songs they sing,
    To-day each Irish lad walks out
    As proud as any king.

    I’ll wear a four-leaf shamrock
    In my coat, the glad day through,
    For my father and mother are Irish
    And I am Irish too!

    ~ The Holiday Spot

    Have a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day – Drink lots of Green Beer, but don’t drive home drunk, make sure to get a taxi or your luck will be lost….

  • Tomorrow’s your Big Day…

    Tomorrow’s your Big Day…

    Tomorrow’s your big day
    The day you tie the knot,
    The day you say I do,
    And forever be his glue.

    I see the way you look at him,
    The smile in your eyes,
    The way he looks at you,
    The love just shines.

    Tomorrow’s your big day
    I’ll stand right by your side
    I know your dad won’t be there
    but he’s watching from above,
    watching every step you take,
    and sending you his love.

    Tomorrow’s your big day,
    The day you tie the knot,
    The day you say I do,
    and forever be true.

    Tomorrow’s your big day,
    A marriage made by two,
    The day you fall in love again
    and say I DO…

  • Happy Valentine’s Day

    Another year gone by, and another Valentine’s is here. Not everyone is blessed to be in a relationship. Valentine’s day is said to bring a lot of depression and suicide rates up. People need to realize that Valentine’s day is just a holiday invented by people to celebrate your love, but you shouldn’t just celebrate it one day out of the year, you should celebrate your love 365 days out of the year. Okay well not exactly celebrate since you can’t buy gifts and go out to dinner every single day of the year, but you can celebrate it by loving each other, respecting each other, making memories that will last a life time.

    If you are couple go out, be romantic but don’t just do this special thing on Valentine’s day, go all out on a regular day, I think it would mean so much more than just because it’s Valentine’s Day. Don’t get me wrong, flowers and a gift is nice on Valentine’s day too…

    For those who don’t have someone to celebrate Valentine’s day with, why not go out with a friend, have some drinks, watch a movie. If you feel sad don’t fret, there is always next year.

    Happy Valentine’s All – hope you have a wonderful day!

    Here’s a poem I found:

    It’s More Than Saying I Love You

    We give on this day candy and flowers,
    But we never stop to say thank you for the many hours.
    You have stood by my side and gave a smile,
    As if to tell our hearts it’s been worth every mile.
    No need to buy a teddy bear or even a card,
    It’s pretty simple and not at all hard.
    Just put your arms around me and hold me tight,
    And say without words that in your heart all is right.
    You may say I Love You throughout the year,
    But on this day you need to make sure.
    The words so sweet and straight from your heart,
    That your life would be lonely without my part.
    So put forth the effort and take the time,
    Look me in the eye and say I’m glad you’re mine.

  • Dear Santa

    Dear Santa

    Dear Santa, I’m older
    But, still believe in you
    (At least, I believe in
    The things you try, to do).

    Maybe, I can’t ask for
    A Tonka, or, a train.
    (But, if you’d bring one of them
    You know, I won’t complain).

    But, what I really wish for
    Is a special present
    Love that can’t be “returned”
    Once it has been sent.

    Everybody needs a little
    And some, need a lot
    But, if you get a tiny bit
    You still know what you got.

    So Santa, drop a little
    Under each Christmas tree
    Then, all will get a present
    From what it’s ‘posed to be.

    And if there is no tree
    For the alone, and poor
    When you get, to their place
    Just, drop, a little more.

    What do you want for Christmas this year?
    I hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday and a Happy New Year

  • November Rain – Dedication to Veteran’s Day

    November Rain

    Today it rains on my parade
    Today the clouds come out to play
    Today like any other day is November Rain.

    I sit there by the window
    waiting for the phone
    waiting to hear about my husband
    who is out there in the war…

    I sit here in my room
    coloring on the walls
    wondering if my daddy
    will be able to tuck me in at all…

    I remember playing ball,
    I remember our first dates,
    I remember when we used to argue
    I remember his face.
    I wonder where he is,
    And I wish that I was there
    My older brother is my hero
    I just couldn’t bare…

    I sit here looking at the pictures
    remembering my son grow up
    I would have never imagined he would grow up to fight for us all.
    My son is a hero he left that November day
    He looked me in the eyes and said
    Mama, everything will be okay…

    I looked into his eyes, and told him I was proud
    but deep down inside I wanted to hold him down.
    I wanted to yell, please don’t go
    Do yo know how dangerous it is out there?
    Do you know some boys don’t come back home?
    I kissed him on the cheek and gave him a great big hug
    with tears in my eyes I said goodbye…

    I put on my brave eyes and told him I loved him
    That day it rained on my parade
    That day the clouds came out to play
    That day became November Rain.

    Mama please don’t cry
    but today is the day I go to war
    today is the day I fight for our country
    Please be brave, I’ll be alright but I have to do this
    It’s only right.

    My wife is waiting at home, I hold pictures of her at night,
    My child is waiting with tears in her eyes, I wish I can hold her tight. My brothers and sisters I miss so much I wish I can see them now,
    My mother is praying for me to come home,
    I wish I can call her now.

    I’ll never get that chance now,
    I did what I needed to do
    I fought for my country and died,
    but I believed in the Red, White and Blue.

    We stand strong,
    We live strong,
    It’s the way of a soldier.

    Today it rains on my parade
    Today the clouds come out to play
    Today like any other day is November Rain.

    ~Dedicated to all the Veterans, all the Soldiers who have passed, and all the Soldiers who are still out there risking their lives for us each and every day~
