My Babies

Are Growing Up

Time

Life is too short to pass us by
My children growing up before my eyes
I'll love them till this days end
Even more as the new day begins
Time just seems to fly to fast
One day it's our future then it's our past
Where does it go I have to ask
Each day brings a whole new task
One baby grown
With three of her own
One with a passion for music inside
The sixth grade and blooming and trying to hide
But no where to run for time does tell
Your growing up now and it's a living hell
Another who's as smart as can be
I know she didn't take after me
In the third grade and feeling grown up
Always wanting to put on my makeup
Last but not least there is my son
It's kindergarden he's just begun
Where did it go this time that I held
Right here in my hands I feel I have failed
I let it slip away right before my eyes
Oh how this time just flies flies flies
Older I am but it's just another year
Can't cry over spilled milk can't shed another tear
Time can be a friend to us all
Because no longer is my family so small
Four children and three grandchildren too
I guess for that reason I'll never be blue
For as I get older I know they'll take care of me
Because they truly love their mommy
So as this time just slips on bye
I'll put on my smiling face and try not to cry

Sometimes

Love Is Just Blind 

Blind Love

The pain runs deep within my soul
I often wonder why I wasn't told
You would leave me here to die
Again I'd be left alone to cry
Tears that run a crimson red
This life and these trials I wish I were dead
Empty and hollow is all that I feel
My love and my heart you did steal
Then you ripped it and tore it apart
Why didn't I see this from the start
I was but a blind one you see
But I thought your love was for me

Inside My Mind

Nothing Is Left 

A Breathless Air

I breathe in
A breathless air
A heart despondent
In despair
The force so heavy
Within my heart
To repair this love
Where do I start
Somehow we've lost
What we once had
A soul so empty
A life now sad
I try to breathe
This breathless air
The walls grow dark
My minds blank stare

Oh How Those Eye's

Do Shine 

Heather

I wrote this tonight after I went to my Ex- father and mother-in-laws 50th wedding anniversary party....As I stood there and looked and him and at her I realized how much he had done for me....just by giving me...HER....Heather
And I am proud to say me and him and his family do still have a bond and a love for each other....Heather will always be that bond between two family's
Be proud of who you are Heather and know Mommy and Daddy will always love you.......She will be 26 years old the 25 of September


Heather

28 years ago a bond was sworn
Between 2 people a love was born
But over the years that bond was broke
For so long they never spoke
But as the time went flying by
They once again said their first hi
And since that day they've got along
They put their love where it belongs
Into their daughter they both love
A precious angel sent from above
If she knew the love we felt
I know her little heart would melt
I looked at her on this day
I thought of times so far away
When she was young how her eye's did shine
I was so proud that she was mine
I won't regret the days back then
And no I'll never reget him
He gave me her through his love
I thank him now and God above

My Love For You

Is Forever

Love Will Never Die

As heartbreaking as love may be
I'll never give up one memory of you and me
Never will I wipe you from my mind
Inside my heart it's still your love I find
The arms that once held me tight
That made my world so wonderfully bright
Will never ever go completely away
For inside my heart your love will always stay
Together we may never be
I guess with time we will see
If our love was meant to last
Then our future won't become our past
I watch your eye's when you look my way
As you try to hide your love today
I told you once the eye's told all you feel
Inside yours I still see a love that's real
One day we'll find a way to live
And maybe then we both can give
It takes two too keep love alive
Together we both must strive
And maybe then we can see
This love was really meant for you and me
In my heart my love is true
Until I die I'll always be there for you

Time Will Tell

If All Fails 

Your Love Had Fell

I lost my love of long ago
Inside my mind I'll never know
If this love was meant to be
This love we shared just you and me

You'll never know my love was true
A love sworn too only you
A love now gone but I'll never forget
Nor will I ever have one regret

I'll love you till the ends of time
I'll love you now inside my mind
For now your loves so far away
It drifted somewhere astray

My soul as empty as can be
Your love I can no longer see
Nothing left except an empty shell
Where at one time your love had fell

With God

All Thing Are Possible 

With Life " Comes Change"

With life comes many changes
Around each corner there's another turn
You turn the wrong way
Life changes dramatically
How do you know which way to turn
You put your trust in God
And know that everything will be fine
Life "will change" but with God beside you
Everything will be fine
But with change comes fear
And fear causes us not to trust Him
It causes us to turn in the wrong direction
If we could just remember
With God all things are Possible
And with " life's changes"
Life will be just another fork in the road
Guided by The Almighty
With Hope, Trust and Love
Love being the greatest of the three
With life "comes change"
The direction we take is our choice
As I face another fork in my road
I choose to trust in Him
And pray the direction I take
Is the choice He would want me to take
