Time And Eternity
Because I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves And Immortality. We slowly drove, he knew no haste, And I had put away My labor, and my leisure too, For his civility. We passed the school where children played At wrestling in a ring; We passed […]
On The Wings of A Prayer
I set you free on the wings of a prayer To fly through life in His tender care, You’re free from the nest and the ties that are bound Free from the pressures I carry around. If I kept you I’d only be cutting your wings, Not offering the chance a true family brings. The […]
Legacy Of An Adopted Child
Once there were two women who never knew each other One you do not remember, the other you call Mother Two different lives shaped to make you one One became your guiding star, the other became your sun The first one gave you life, and the second taught you to live it The first gave […]
Kisses In The Wind
I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams. You are here each day with me, at least that’s how it seems. I know you wonder where we are… what’s taking us so long. But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong. Now go outside and feel […]
Secret Lands
Let’s go back to the old days When we searched for waterfalls We had found the hollow caves Where water rushed in walls Let’s lay, to look at the stars On the ground we wrote our names There’s secret rooms to explore Their doors shown to us like flames The leaves kept us well hidden […]
Forever Friendship Ends
I don’t know if you’ll get this I don’t know what to say.. I don’t know how to apologize it might come out the wrong way. That’s a chance I’m willing to take, in hopes you can forgive me. I never meant for it to be like this but that’s what I can’t make you […]
Love Too
“The birds faded out, The trees stopped their swaying, The whole world hushed, And there was only you. You and I, eyes locked tight, As you mouthed those words that felt so right. Just like everything around me, I fell silent. The courage I had before was gone, Because I hesitated and thought about it […]
My Destiny & Fate
“Fate tripped and was temporarily out. You promised me I would never lose you And I was reaching for fire When I recklessly believed you. I didn’t know when I let myself love you, I was stepping into the blade Aimed straight for my heart. Destiny signed me up for heatache I didn’t ask for, […]
The Raven
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. Eagerly I wished the morrow;–vainly I had sought to borrow From my books surcease of sorrow–sorrow for the lost Lenore For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore Nameless here for […]
Fairy Land
Dim vales and shadowy floods And cloudy looking woods, Whose forms we can’t discover For the tears that drip all over Huge moons there wax and wane Again, again, again Every moment of the night Forever changing places And they put out the star-light With the breath from their pale faces. About twelve by the […]
