LIFE IS ALL ABOUT CHOICES
EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
THEN LIVING WITH THEM CHOICES
EVERY SINGLE DAY

WALKING THEM MILES
THAT JUST HAD TO BE
SO MY BABIES
COULD BE REJOINED WITH ME

EVERY DAY THEY WERE GONE
WAS LIKE BEING STABBED WITH A KNIFE
FOR THEY ARE MY SOUL
MY BREATH AND MY VERY LIFE

A FEW MORE DAYS OF SORROW
THEN TOGETHER WE WILL RUN
PLAYING AND LAUGHING
AND ENJOINING THE WARM SUN
UNTIL NIGHT TIME FALLS
AND OUR DAY IS DONE

NIN-:rose:
 
when your day is rough
feeling as though you won't make it
through, reach into your innermost self
and bring the positive to the light
 
love will always overcome
no matter what the event
you may think you cannot go on
but your innermost strength
will shine through
 
Love as with life
is what we choose to make it
My choice is to make
both as memorable
as I can.

NIN-
 
Hearing my little angels voices
even over the phone
Brought a smile to my face
and peace to the bone

NIN- :rose:
 
hello world
another day begins
shake off the night
and let's go

coffee helps
maybe some breakfast
but 6a.m. comes early
so let's take it slow

chores are done
laundry finished
maybe it's time
to take a nap
 
when love comes to mind
I have two thoughts
our children... and you

No matter what happens
I will be with you
and here for you

Sometimes I feel like
life is too hard
and I need to give up

But I will persevere
and stay with you
for our family is everything

I have touched zen
on a mountain of solitude

absorbed the tao
of a tranquil pool

basked in the sun
of god's golden light

I have been moved
by the earths orbit

held by gravity
of the situation

and as the season changed
I found joy in children's laughter

and love found me
in the zen of it all

lovely images painted in this piece...hope you write more of these...:rose:
 
lightening wrapped itself around thunder
Budda paddled a bright orange raft
the ducks took flight

like a ninja in the night
in front of a marching band
tip toeing across water

trees dance in anticipation
while taking a shower
over bar ditch rivers

the windows moan and shake
sitting in the middle of it's wake
here comes, hurricane Ike
 
I want to lay with you
In a field of flowers
And grass so green

I want to show you love
Like you have never
Felt or seen

I want for you to see
That outer beauty
Will one day fade

But it is the love
That is inside
That is where true love
Is made

I want for you to see me
All of me
Inside and out

I want for you to learn
What true love
is all about

It has it’s good times
As well as
the bad

It has happy times
And sometimes
The sad

But if your love
is really
True

Staying together forever
is what
You will always do

For you have found
What very few
Ever do

You have found me
A love
That is
forever true
 
I survived hurricane Ike...

powers back on ...(~_~)


Trees didn't sway side to side but rather they twisted back and forth
the hot water heater door went across the yard one way
while the dog house rolled across the grass the opposite direction
candles reflected in the window where rain fell side ways
a window blew out of the bedroom when the front door flew open
the yard looks like a war zone
....where tree limbs lay like thoughts fallen yesterday
power was out for five days here... and we were the lucky ones!!!
 
I am so glad that yall did and that electric is back helping to brighten yalls day a little more
you all will never know how happy I am that all of you are safe

welcome back you two

The morning Katrina's big brother came
Twisting trees bowed under gray clouds
as if they wish to run or fly
Aqua bullets shot sideways, machine gun style

A door flew open while another took flight
as a window relieved it's pane
The dog house tumbled across a dark, drenched lawn
while the pup whimpered in the living room
wishing for a dead calm eye

The wind screamed a warriors song
Powerless, candles flickered
as natures unbridled fury pounded,
yard after yard, inch by inch, for miles and miles.

Rivers form, as leaves turned into boats,
sailing away with water bottle buoys
and debris submerged into submarines
thrashing in the air, tree limbs became kites

The proud sought shelter while the timid cried
it was every man for himself
when the landscape became one big brawl
as every tree in the forest began to fight
In the wake of hurricane Ike.

movement of nature speaks
when man becomes soft in his safety...
 
nothing binds us
yet we are like a five strand rope

we are not grounded
yet we stand together upon the earth

we move freely here and there
much like the winds we swirl

climbing mountains and descending valleys
like a river we flow

like the stars above we shine
in our own constalation

each of us have the freedom to leave
but together we stay, our family
