A Wonderful Year and Life October 2012......... As I continue on my journey, I am reminded of my wondrous circle of friends that watch over me. Just last year I was with a dear friend, I jokingly call her my sister and she said "let stop by the local dance club". And on top of asking me it was Halloween night. I had not been since my Debbie became ill in 2009. I must say the place looked the same, and they were still play...

Today 60 years ago an Angel was born, Put on this earth for many to love and learn from, Many knew her in her short life, I however was given the privilege to call her Mom. She was Mom for only 10 years, She taught me to love, She taught me to give, She taught me to learn, She taught me to be myself, She was mine on this earth for 10 short years. She was given her wings one glorious August Day; After a gift was delivered...

I used to be your angel,Your protector,Your friend,But now I am fallen,But not by my hand.You fell in love easily,You got hurt easily too,You questioned my friendship,And said I'd been untrue.You thought I'd betrayed you,I'd not said the truth,You thought I'd seen all,And let it pass blankly by.What you don't remember,Is the reasons I gave,Before this all happened,When we were still sane.I told you,"Stay calm, dear,"I'll...

Yesterday I missed you. Yesterday I needed you. Today I miss you. Today I need you. Tomorrow I will miss you. Tomorrow I will need you. I want you to hold me just one more time. Some know the pain, others can’t imagine. It is one you never want to feel, but know you must. The day will come, when you have to say; “Goodbye” You are in my heart; there I will keep you safe. Your memories are in my mind, I will share them with...

Live or Die I noticed Alex on the last day of her senior year, I knew this would be a life changing day for her, I just had to wait for the events to occur. It was the day they were all waiting for; it had finally come. The last day of high school was among them and they were only 5 minutes away from walking out those doors for the last time as high school students. The clock ticked as each second went by when finally the...

This runs in conjunction with my previous stories  How I Lost My Way part 1 and part 2- - - - -  from a young age I was taught about angels we sat as the nuns read to us, our little eyes wide pictures swirled around us, all stories from long ago loving angels and warrior angels, white, red and black being of the youngest I sat in complete awe waiting for my angel or at least a white feather from heaven my mind grew and gr...

How to describe this Can one truly imagine Does the heart really know What it is, this Emotion A need to feel A want that beckons A touch that traces A tingle that craves In you what is found Is Love and care A feeling of protection Alpha Male scent in the air A pulse that thrives Feeling the unknown Your hands guide A body, mind, a soul Those hands are warm They cradle a lost being River darkened from the past Yet clean...

Lightning burned through the heavens above, a furious display of power punctuated at random moments by deafening cracks of thunder. The cold fire set the night sky alight. A storm in Heaven.  As flash after flash ripped across the electrified skyline Alenna stared on in silent awe. It was a lightning storm without rain or wind, only those terrifying bolts of pure energy searing across the landscape of Heaven; testimony to...

There was a demon in my bathroom mirror. This was not one of those cartoon imps, with their chubby faces, and tiny horns. It was not the kind that waves its cute little pitchfork at you as it capers off to some daring, childish mischief. No, this one was a demon of the first degree. Its blood shot eyes stared through the glassy surface of the mirror, sharp teeth like tiny knives visible in it's open, screaming maw. Every...

For all the fallen... But especially for Jer! The warrior cried Tears of fury The angel came down War torn and weary The sound of her voice Soothed his soul She read in his face His darkest goal Weapon in hand Purpose of stride He moved among them He didn't hide Her purpose to Protect the soldier Who in his anger Became a bit bolder Focused his strength Swallowed his pride Prayed for mercy Refused to hide Her wings surrou...

This poem was written several years ago now, when I was in a deeper, dark place and I think expressed much of my feelings at the time about loneliness, my disability and how people looked upon me.Sometimes I wonder, why I look how I do?Why God created me, so I could suffer what I go through?The pain, the suffering, the feeling of being hated,By all you people just for being created.I look in the mirror, and don't see my r...

The greatest girl I ever met, No one’s better, that’s a sure bet. Smarter than Einstein and more beautiful than JLO,I don’t know how I got her, but I hope she will never go. If I’m lucky, maybe, just maybe,She’ll stay forever and be my baby. She’s so perfect and also so sweet,It’s such a shame that we have yet to meet. Every time we talk my heart starts throbbing, And then when she leaves, I end up sobbing. I love her, I...

Devils Island is off thecoast of Michigan, on Lake Superior. There were cabins scattered around the island. Most of the island was unpopulated, except for the park ranger’s office and twenty cabins. Today was Kaitlin’s thirteenth birthday; and as a treat, her parents took her to Devils Island. Since Kaitlin was now a teenager, her parents let her stay in a cabin by herself. The cabin was small and rustic, surrounded by so...

This is the story of an angel without a halo One day unlike an angel he wallowed What a paradox I am a creature of heaven But now I am in hell and lesser mortals on my heaven dwell If only I could get back my halo I would bring back the smiles And wipe tears away And touch people in my ‘angel way’ As he wallowed aloud The devil heard And thought for a while How the angel had served “just like heaven he served at hell” He...

The click of the light switch focussed his attention and he bobbed back to the surface of consciousness. Soft, retreating footfalls. A whispered kiss. The baby opened his eyes. A gentle glow illuminated the room to his left and his gaze, seeking comfort, was naturally drawn there. He was warm, full, content, sleepy, and yet still expected something more. The familiar beaming face appeared, garlanded by blonde curls, light...
