Life

Life is a long, hard road
Because, you win some,
You lose some, but you
Live, you live to see another
Day and some things can’t
Always be easily done
All the time because no
One is perfect.
Life is a journey of discovery
Because you will always find
Another path to walk on.
In this life I have been
Lost and I had to find
Myself on my own.
Life is a merry-go-round
That won’t ever stop
Turning around. Because
When you start to feel that
You can’t go any more you
Start going in circles when
You give up on your self.
I took a journey of discovery
On a long, hard road and
Found a merry-go-round of
Life that won’t stop.

An Old House Adventure

 

An old house is an adventure that could speak for itself
The stairway is like an escalator to the heavens
The creak of the floors is like the scratching of fingernails across a chalkboard
Wind howls around it like the cry of the wolf
Shutters slam like the beating of a snare drum
The attic is a cave to the past
Walking through the cellar door is like walking into the scene of a horror movie
Lights flickering on and off like the lights on a Christmas tree
The fireplace is like a dragon’s flame
Hallway photos are a photograph album of days gone by
The grandfather clock chimes like in Time Square
Shadows on the walls dance in the moonlight
Mice scuttle across the floor like thieves in the night
The tin roof slants like a playground slide
Sights and sounds of an old house definitely speak for themselves

The Angel Walks

 

The angel walks
Among us
Living, breathing
Deep inside us
Going wherever we go

 

The angel walks
Among us
Guarding, protecting
Talking to us
Don’t stop believing

 

The angel walks
Among us
Flying, helping
Do we know this
We are all angels

 

Let’s help others

 

Have faith
Just know that
The angel walks
Among us

I Love You

 

I never really knew you
You were just another friend
And when I got to know you
I let my heart unbend
I couldn’t help past memories
That would only make me cry
I had to forget my first love
And give love another try
So I’ve fallen in love with you
And I’ll never let you go
I love you more than anyone
I just had to let you know
And if you ever wonder why
I don’t know what I’ll say
But I’ll never stop loving you
Each and every day
My feelings for you will never change
Just know my feelings are true
Just remember
There won’t be another you
