We have all witnessed miracles, every day, the glory of the sunrise, the beauty of the sunset, the cleansing rain, the promise of the rainbow, the melodious song of children’s laughter, the miracle of new life. All things we take for granted and never acknowledge as a miracle from God. And I have been the same way, never giving it a second thought… until recently. I feel and believe that I have been the recipient of the g...

In the face of the most recent massacre in the US, the unbelievable senseless loss of such young lives, as well as the lives of the teachers trying to protect them. I have to wonder what this world is coming to, and what kind of people will inherit it. When did it become easier to grab a weapon, and open fire on a multitude of innocent victims, than it is to accept our own short comings and learn to deal with it? Or to se...

Where do you go when love diesWhat do you do when your heart criesWhere do you turn when there’s no one thereThe nights are lonely with no one to holdDays seem longer and so very coldWho do you go to when you have something to shareFriends gather round to try to consoleBut something is missing, you're not wholeThat special someone that will always careYou made me laugh, and brought me new lifeNow my world is bare and full...

Although I never got to give you lifeI will love you for all my lifeI never got to see your first smileBut your smile brightens my worldI never seen you take your first stepBut you stepped into my life to stayI wasn’t there for your first day at schoolBut you have taught me what love is all aboutYou were barely sixteen when we first metWe talked and became fast friendsYou welcomed me into your home and lifeHow much better...

Your friendship has give me the confidence to share, My worst and my best and still you care. You see me for who and what I am, really, You accept and support and love freely. You take what is offered and ask nothing more, For me your friendship is wonderful, not a chore. I don’t have to smile if I feel like crying I don’t have to work at it if I don’t feel like trying. You always appear when I need you most, Your spirit...

Who can say what lies beyond tomorrowWill it bring Love and Joy or only sorrowOf all the questions in my mindThe answers to these I never findIs it because if I could seeWhat really lies ahead for meI would bring about an endThat loved ones simply couldn’t comprehendAnd leave them living with the pain,Or is it to keep me from going insane.Is it really the best way To live our lives day by dayDoes living my life as best I...

Tonight I lay in my bed empty and coldI wish that you were here for me to holdWe’ve talked by the hour, how it will beWhen you arrive to finally be here with meThe dreams will come true, I know they willBut deep in my heart, I’m scared stillOf the disappoint I’m afraid you’ll feelWill you embrace me or turn on your heelWill you run for the door, and not look backWill my heart shudder, tremble and crackOr on your face will...

My hairs too long, my body too short.When I laugh really hard, sometime I snort.My belly too round, my backside too wide.No matter what I do I can never hide.Touch my toes? What a silly dream.I’m big enough to be a one man team.My clothes are a few sizes over big.I’m built like a tree, not like a twig.Of me, others make jokes and tease.I have feelings, be gentle please.I know you don’t mean to make me cry.But when I do, d...

I watched a young mother walking with her boy,Her proud smile told all of her joy.As cute as a button, cheeks rosy and red,Dark curls peeked from under the toque on his head.His laughter, like bells ringing out in the cold,His steps never faltered, he was so bold.I watch as he stomps, kicks and jumps in the snow,Such an adorable little man, too quickly they grow.This sweet little angle perhaps two or three,On short little...

The boxes are packed The truck is stacked The movers have just closed the doorWith a look over my shoulderI’m now feeling bolder This is my life no moreWhen life starts anewEverything is askewLike driftwood upon the shoreMy hands they are shakingA big step we are takingAs a couple we start to exploreWe can bend, with no breaksWe will make mistakesNever fear, we won’t keep scoreHoney, with you by my sideWe’ll take it in st...

This house, envelope, box and a key, was all he had left to me.With trembling hands I opened the note,heart tortured, I read what he wrote.All my worldly possessions I leave behindI pray that for you, the years will be kind.The key opens the box, my prizes are hidden there.Your birth bracelet, first tooth, locks from your hair.My grandfathers pocket watch, it's old and worn, Dad gave it to me the day you were born.Your mo...

What did you see when you looked at meThe woman who gave her heart, so young and carefreeThe woman who you claimed with a ring of diamonds and goldDo you see the woman you promised to love, honor, and holdYour words were sharp they cut like a knifeI dont know why I ever made you my wifeThe tears they fell like unending rainHow could you have left me in this kind of painWhat did I do, why did your love grow coldYou made me...
