  • 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~

  • Remember Poem

    This is a poem I wrote about a dream I had. I had a dream with my grandmother and it was so memorable that I had to write about it. Do you ever have a dream that is so clear that you can’t stop thinking about it?

    Remember…

    I remember your face,
    The way you used to look at me
    Your smile embraced my heart
    And with a blink of an eye;
    You were Gone!

    I remember your eyes
    The dreams you left behind
    And the love that will always remain

    I remember that night
    Standing by your side
    Telling you to hold on
    I didn’t understand the things that were going on.
    And with a blink of an eye;
    You were Gone!

    And I will remember you,
    every night before closing my eyes, I will remember you.
    With every breath I take, I will remember you.
    I will remember the good times
    I will remember the tears
    I will remember that you will always be near.
    Because with a blink of an eye;
    You were Gone!
