"Waiting for spring"
When spring finally arrives,
There will be birds singing in the air,
And sounds of children everywhere.
Then I'll know it's worth the wait,
Of those long winter nights,
Be it alone or with a friend,
I know that spring
Will arrive in the end!


"Good Feelings"
Wouldn't you like to fly away?
Even just to be free.
Wouldn't you like to sail away?
Come on and join me.
It's to this perfect spot,
Not far from a dream.
So come along with me,
And travel your road of destiny
Standing in the Bright sunshine,
Or even in the rain.
Glowing bright like the moonshine,
Come along and take my hand.
The road won't be too hard,
If you trust in me.
So we soar to the heavens,
And dive through the clouds.
We slide along rainbows,
And smile out loud.
We sing silly things through our eyes,
Come on baby and make me high.



"Cloudy Days"
I know the way through cloudy days,
Where the sun shines so bright and gay.
When she shines so bright and clear,
My hearts beats so loud for all to hear.
She is my love, this women of mine,
So warm, gentle, so very fine.
When her love shines my way,
I never have cloudy days.

"Dawn"
Glistening with the coming dawn
Dew sits heavy on the meadows lawn
A gypsy wanders through the glen
Ever watching for foe or friend
When he stops to rest for the night
He is greeted with a wonderful sight
Wondering where she's been his whole life.
He now knows he won the fight
To struggle against loneliness and despair
Now he is with someone, someone who cares.



"FRIENDS"
Friends are interesting creatures
Who come with all sort of features
There are some who are comical
And fill us with much humor
And there are those
We only see in the summer
Some are so kind
And some considerate
Some keep us on hold
For oh too many minutes
Theirs are compassionate ones
And others who make us wonder
There are those who help us understand
All our foolish blunders
There are some who make us irate
And yes some we use words like hate
For it's those friends that we lose
That remind us of all the times shared
So my friends please have a care
A friend may be counting on you



"My Swan"
I write this swan song,
So I can run away.
From feelings of sadness,
Not being able to enjoy the day
..............
I feel as if I'm all alone
Please tell me I am wrong.
I need some reassurance
Yes I really need to hear it
...........................
I want to tell the world
About the love I've found.
But now when I look
I'm not sure she's around.
.........................
I need you in my life,
I've never felt this way.
I know I felt this
Before we ever kissed
......................
You mean so much to me
All my thoughts of a dream
What will I do now?
Without you in my schemes
........................
I feel so very sad
my feelings so very true
I can't go on in life
Without all of you
..................... ...
I'm sorry to do this
I'm so damn scared.
I love you, I feel
Are words I'll never hear
............................
I'm afraid you'll never say it again
God that really hurts
Just thinking that thought
God that really hurts
..........................
I'm so confused and scared
I don't know what to do
I want to see you, hear you
And always be with you.
............................
I promised never to leave you
A promise I want to be true
But am so damn scared
I'll never hear I love you


"Love?"
I thought I knew what love was a long time ago.
Got married, divorced and knew I was sort of wrong.
Spent long days and lonely nights wondering how and why me.
Then I met someone so familiar why was she, because she is my dream.
She showed me that I was correct in my first marriage assumptions.
I was mistaken about love and really lost nothing.
Now I know what it means to feel someone love me for real.
Unfortunately there is a catch, yes a catch to this deal.
She has been hurt and told lies too.
Now she believes them, not me or you.
I would take a bullet or cut my heart out.
If she would only see she can believe in me
I love her too much to ever be thoughtless
Of her fears, thoughts and desires.
I just wish she could see, without her,
Others I can't say I love to, for it would make me a liar.
For I don't want anything less than her
And to settle for less would not be fair
I long to touch and hold her always
And forever run my fingers through her hair
So she's been hurt and not in a nice way.
So her answer is forget Frank and why stay
She won't give love a chance though
She loves me that she knows
Yet is sure with me the pain will be more
So instead I live the rest of my life in sorrow
Never to share this love again comes tomorrow
She is going, god no, going away
With her go my each and everyday
I'll never feel this way again I know
There is absolutely no worldly way
So all I can tell her is
Ill never hurt you and I love you



"Fear of A Life"
You lifted a heart so sad and depressed
You helped my soul, which was filled, with unrest
You made me feel new and alive
Realizing my heart had almost died
I dreamed big dreams for my life
Never thinking you wouldn't be the wife
I'm sorry I did this to you
But my feelings have always been true
It gets so hard sometimes with certain songs
Makes me think of things I'll always long
I know what I felt that first night
Someone above was telling us we are just right
So I thank you for the brief moment of love
I just wish you would listen to the voice above
I'll always want you by my side
Still never really understanding why you hide
I know I never understood what was fear
Until now with you not near
Of course I'm scared, I'm full of fright
I shall never know you the rest of my life.



most of those are from the divorce solo parent going up the wall period of life

this next one what can i say I was hungry and ..... sounds like corny

"Banana Split"
I am that special treat
That is everyone's desire
I am that special dessert
That always sets you on fire
,...............
The banana is firm and sweet
Ice cream comes in many flavors
Peeling me can be such a treat
The taste of me one savors
.....................
The succulent hot dripping fudge
Always poured all over me
It is never enough though
So pour more and more, please
.......................
Now the cherrie, nuts and cream
I taste better than a dream
Eating me is a dream come true
But do you have to use such a cold spoon



"Friendship"
Friendships are an interesting thing
Some wind up wearing your ring
Some make you feel good inside
And others just make you want to hide
The friends I like the best
Are the ones who put me through no tests
So a friend is something we all need
And especially in times of need
So if you have a friend that's good
Remember to do the things you should
And take care of this kindness
Without friends you will end up mindless


Another tag poem

"CRICKETS"
I wake to the sounds of crickets
Singing their songs in the thickets
The evening is not complete
With out them rubbing they're little feet
The sound is sometimes too much
And all you want them to do is hush
So you sit there and listen
And just keep a wishing
That's they will shut up

I just started a new thread, titled Tag Game .... I have a hard time getting into chat rooms :D I know how to use them, but have to be mindful of dh's jealousy triggers ;)

Thanks, actually to both of you :D
It was a nice day :)
