This is me
on a good day
on a bad day, well
it's not so easy

Today is the day
I want to be
in the moment
to live for now
for what we have
together

Our love is
a perfect answer
to anything
a gift
you give me every day

Love
between us two
is wonderful
and new
and yet
somehow

everlasting
neverending
forever love
a never lonely
again love

This is me
This is you
This is us
Our love
Forever to be

I love to kiss
your soft, sweet lips
tasting of honey
sugar-lips, sunny
you're my ideal
keeping it real
you know how I feel

Some kind of wonderful
never can I say
that you're dull
on a good day
give me a way
to get even closer to you

kissing you
is like kissing
the moon
or the stars
jupiter, or mars
it's out of this world
you are a pearl

Sometimes I worry,
quite a few times lately
i hurry
through my life
trouble and strife
what we sterive toward
is peace

peaceful, powerful
the vibe I get from you
is sweetly shy
asking myself why
I live or die?

Thankfully I have
people in my life
to remind me
why not to give up
love, after all
gives me all
I live for
don't know about you

the lucky few
experience love
and come out better
on the other side

Giving and recieving
love, peace, harmony
give me one sweet memory
one shining light
glowing out at me

Some days
I almost give up
Some days
life doesn't seem
worth pursuing
at all

Love is a shimmering mirage
fooling me into believing
I can be glad again
who cares?

When those dark dreams haunt me
begging me to end it all
just fall down
and die
I tell myself

just don't give up...
keeping the faith
is worth the wait...
I pray for love
just give me a shove
in the right direction
life's protection
from indiscretion

So when I kiss you
tell you
when  you are gone,
I miss you
I mean you're
my better half
my soul's own mate

why wait any longer?
every minute the feeling grows
stronger
just can't stand this misery
any longer

Baby, be mine
my life is
on the line
to dine with me
on fine wine
life, love, longing

this is my song
it can't be wrong
do I belong?
the ones I am among
tell me
this is too much
a crutch

I say no,
love will grow
if you feed it,
fast or slow,
we all know

Why we try
sigh
reason's why
in times of darkness
we possess loving kindness

Give me your love
and you give me me life
no lie
I give you my best
and all the rest
is just an emply nest
with no one in it

Surface of the sun
hotter than july
chosen one
you make me cry
don't really know why

miss you every day
give you a kiss
long distance
every single day
though my hair might
begin to go gray

Tell you one thing
if you see a bird
with a broken wing,
do what you can to mend it

That's my philosophy anyway
to live and let live
give of yourself
not your pocketbook
which works for me
not much  money

love me tender and true
so in love with you
I've given you all
I've got
all I will ever have
My Love

Coconut Palm and Cherry Tree

I am a tall and slender palm
Swaying in the salty breeze
Along comes a hurricane
Blowing over everything

Many plants, and people,
with weaker roots than i
are washing inland,
or blowing out to sea

But I was planted deep
oh, so long ago
and when a storm comes
I may bend double
in the wind

but I don't break
flexible and strong
I've weathered many
storms through the years

and every time
I found one truth
to rely on

that with high winds
comes rain
to quench my thirst
so my roots grow
deeper every season
my foliage is greener

So now, I no longer fear
the winds and rain
as I did when I was young

Now I shelter younger
weaker plants
they grow in my shade
flowers on parade

Do you fear
as I used to?
or do you rely on God
to help you weather
the storms
in your own life?

One day an island girl
came by walking by and
planted a cherry seedling
in my shade

She blessed the tree
before she left
and said we would
grow ever closer
through the years,
then watered my roots
with her tears

That young cherry tree
began to grow
it put down roots quickly
soon, too soon
storm season was upon us

For I had grown fond
of that delicate,
beautiful tree
so different
from me!
I was so sure
I would never see it again

But I underestimated
that plucky, brave lass

Her roots had meshed
with mine
we became one
from that first moment
the girl watered us
with her tears

we became as
mother an daughter
and I realized
sometimes family chooses us
and opposited do work well
together
if we learn acceptance
of our differences

Years later,
she began to bloom,
and she asked why
her flowers were
pink and fragrant,
while I had none at all

I considered lying,
but she deserved the truth
I told her who
and what
she is

Why she is so special
a kind of miracle

To my great surprise
her reaction was not
what I expected
she reached her branches up
towards the blue sky and declared

You'll always be my mom
I Love You

Family is more than
blood relations
its learning to grow close
and rely on those
who God has placed
in your path

Family is
sometimdes built
instead of born

dedicated to my REAL family (my friends)

online games

how many of you love to play games online? I love to play scrabble, and tetris.  i won two scrabble games the other day.  tell me what your favorite online games are.

Music to my Ears

The other day I was singing some of my favorite songs, and I wondered, what kind of music is the most soothing?  Different people must listen to various styles of music to relax with, since we all have our own tastes.  My husband likes classical.  I like smooth jazz and easy listening.  What kind of music relaxes and/or soothes YOU the best?

Just comment and let me know, I'm curious....

waxing poetic

this time of year, it seems to me
the earth can take a breath
a tiny pause
a parentheses
after summer's heat
before the winter chill

autumn is a gentle easing
temperatures are pleasing
telling us to wait a while
enjoy the colors and the flavors

the leaves' own majesty
does celebrate the days
when the trees give one last hurrah
'fore they go dormant 'neath the snow

So let us too enjoy the time
we have, a time when harvesters
bring the bounty in
rewarding all their hard work
through the year

Thanksgiving's coming up--
but why wait till then?
thank God right now,
for autumn

Time

We only have so many hours each day, so what we choose to fill them with eventually makes up the fabric of our lives.  We all have mundane everyday tasks we have to do, chores and busywork, but the time we spend with the people we love is time well spent.  Just hanging out with family and friends, might be something you will look back on fondly someday.

Time spent improving oneself with education or "brainy" activities can also be fun, such as one of my favorite vocabularity expanding games, scrabble.  Keep in mind that the more time you are wasting on whatever your choice of time wasting activity is time you will never get back, so choose well.

Tick, tock...

Again with the heat...

Just when I thought we were finally getting a break from the 100's, here we go again!  It makes me wonder if fall is EVER going to arrive...Sweltering and Dry, a perfect environment for the wildfires here in texas.  Please pray for rain-boy do we need some. 

In future, I think I'll refer to 2011 as the unendably looooong, HOT summer, lol.  But seriously, we need a break from heat and drought.  The only good thing about no rain this summer is that there aren't any mosquitos, no stagnant water for them to breed in, I guess.  So at least we got a break from being eaten alive like usually happens to me summers.

As for fall, (whenever it decides to finally show up) all I can say is... BRING IT ON!

love

Ah, love...what makes the world go round...or what can drive you absolutely bonkers!   How many times have you looked at your partner and thought, what in the world was I thinking?  This person has zero percent in common with me!  If  you're honest with yourself, you would probably say there have been those kind of moments.   But then they do or say something that makes you fall in love with them all over again, and you wonder what you would do without them. 

My wonderful hubby and I are coming up on our seventh anniversary this month.  I am glad to report that so far, there hasn't been even the slightest hint of the infamous "seven year itch" with us.  I am just as much in love as I was when we said "I do".   Then there are the times I just want to pull my hair out and scream in frustration. I wouldn't have it any other way.  As maddening as he can be, I love him like crazy.

with love to my knight in slightly tarnished armor...

Creativity

Sittimg here, staring at my pc screen, waiting for inspiration, it occurs to me that creativity is an awesome gift.
God made each of us unique, with our own voice and our own something special we can do.  There's no reason to let it go to waste, just because we might be scared that others won't appreciate it or like it.  One of my favorite songs says "sing, sing a song, don't that its not good enough for anyone else to hear"  AMEN!

Make a joyful noise, write from your heart, do whatever gives you joy, and don't give a fig what anyone else thinks.  You are special and one of a kind, because there is just one of you.  Like snowflakes, no two of us are alike.  Viva la difference!

Long HOT Summer

Does anyone else think this is the closest you can get to hell without dying?  This summer, at least here in Texas, makes me long for the good old days of ninety degree temperatures...lol.  Here we are in the beginning of September, and so far we've had almost two months straight of 100 degrees or over.  I want fall, and I want it NOW!!

in a bad place? remember this

I sing this to remind myself we are never as all alone in whatever's going on in life than it might seem.

When you walk through a storm


Keep your chin up high

And don't be afraid of the dark.

At he end of the storm

Is a golden sky

And the sweet silver song of a lark.



Walk on through the wind,

Walk on through the rain,

Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.Walk on, walk on

With hope in your heart

And you'll never walk alone,

You'll never walk alone.
