I saw sparkles in my head
Right before I went to bed
Sparkles sparkled everywhere
All around me and on my head
No matter how I moved my head
Sparkling sparkles were here to stay
Poets
WHAT ABOUT ME
Busy listening
Giving counseling
Drying tears
Encouraging words
Holding hands
Hugging tight
Helping those
Morning, noon and night
Drained to the core
Words-there’s no more
Energy is spent
Body hard hit
Along with the mind
Phone always ringing
Mostly sobbing
No singing
What do you think
What should I do
Never how are you doing
Is life treating you well
Is there anything I can do
Can we talk about you
I’m here for you day or night.
Sitting before the Lord
Reevaluating my life
Not seeing progress
Nor my prayers answered
I cried out from
The depth of my soul
What about me
What about me Lord
What about me
I don’t see what I prayed for
Why no one cares to listen to me
Ask me hard questions
That make me think
Receive a hug I didn’t give
A tissue to wipe away my tears
What about me
What about me Lord
Will it ever be my time?
The Expected You
Living in grace
Running life’s race
Petitioned above
For undying love
That will forever last
Going about my life
Along my usual path
Awaiting my answer
Believing to come soon
Giving thanks everyday
One day I began to see
Someone drawing nigh to me
I wondered if could you be
The one I prayed for sent to me
The Expected You
One Connected Heart
The moment I laid eyes on you
I knew you were my forever love
My heart skipped gleefully
To rest upon your heart
That was the beginning
A fresh exciting start
Of love intertwining
Two young hearts.
Years have come and gone
My heart still beats for you
The bond is stronger now
Than when I first laid eyes on you.
No one on earth
Can tear us apart
Because what we share
Is one connected heart.
Her Last Breath
She clawed her way upon his chest
The pain that wracked her body stole her rest
Medication dulled the pain but never completely took it away
In and out of consciousness, delirious to her surroundings
In her weakness she pulled on his strength
Because she had none of her own
Tears streaming down his cheeks, through his beard, onto her hair
Thoughts of losing the love of his life was more than he could bear
I have to be strong for her no matter what the outcome is
Lord give us a miracle and let this nightmare end
Her breathing was so shallow he checked to see
If she was still with him or moved on to eternity
Pulling her closer to him to breathe for her once more
A flashback of the years gone by
When everything was great
The memories will be tucked away
In the heart that beats for her
My heart will always beat for you
With every breath I take
Your smile, the twinkle in your eyes
Our wonderful life together
Can never be replaced
As she drew her last breath
He whispered in her ear
I’ll always love you
Forever
