ONLY A "CHILD"

Only a “child”

The moon so high in the sky,
Holding secrets the courts still deny,
They know you are “only” a child,
Yet hold firm the sentences, while the world sighs.

No compassion, mercy is ever held,
While weeping alone in their private cells.

Mistakes made as a “child”,
While the courts still in denial
Charged as adult, no chance of parole
Holding this young life, with it forever on hold.

They dream of better tomorrows,
Only left in such desolate sorrows.
You can help change this destruction,
With education and a little instruction.

The next child could really be yours,
What will you do?, when you finally get the “score”?

Now is the time to speak out, & have no doubt,
Your voice is needed, for this child’s way out!!

THANK YOU MY FRIEND

For the many times I have called your name
you listened with your heart, gave me advice.

For the times I cried so hard, I could not speak,
you gave compassion and soothed my soul,
Your understanding of my faults and mistakes,

For the times I ached so badly,
you cared about my heart,

For all the love and support you gave me in the rough times,
Without betrayal, understanding and just being my friend.

I THANK YOU!

My Brother's Keeper

Living in fear for years, each day and breath would be their last.
Calling for help, tho no one would answer, only God's animal kingdom witnessed the horrific and barbaric abuse
they faced, with nowhere and no one to turn , no one listening , to keep them safe from harm.

The ultimate began as they were involved in the demise of their abusive father.
Now being finally released from the liken of a Pow camp, but finally free of abuse, tho
Upon being taken by authorites, another abusive life began, beyond their comprehension.

While in custody, a man appeared claiming to be interested in their case.
but not trusting as they were, not wanting, but giving up hope and life as they had experienced.

The saga began, this man beside them,
to defend them with all his strength and courage,
to fight for justice, for a life gone, such a life was not worth living.

This man gave them hope, courage, caring support beyond
measures untold, but most of all unconditional love,
something that was so strange to them,
How can this be ?

With yesterday gone, and the promises of a life anew,
finally in peaceful sleep, in the care of my brother.

So dry up those tears, that come from all those past years,
Come sit beside me,
Enjoy Life anew.

As a friend, lean on me,

We both have journeyed so far and

Giving joy to others, will make our heart sing.

Caring and helping those in silence,
is a joy and wonder to behold.

To discover the beauty thrust upon us.
Enjoyed by all, without a fuss.

We both searching for our tomorrows,
tho we know so many with such pain and sorrow.

We can help them with life anew , We have told,
A time of excitement and healing of the soul.

So stay with me my child,
Rest, in peaceful sleep for a while.

Dedicated TRIBUTE for my special friend, KRISTA LYNN McDANIEL~~~Life "anew" is waiting!

IF YOU ONLY KNEW

If only you knew
Those many moments alone
Seeking to come forward, as on cue.

I hold in my heart, all I have to offer,
My love & friendship for you will not falter.

If you could only see my eyes,
And in my heart, what’s really inside

If you could hear my tears,
Thru all those many years.

If you could feel the anguish that is undeniable,
Not a trusting soul, for so many are unreliable

If you could touch my pain, the echo of my heart
You still wouldn’t know where to start.

The pain, hurt and betrayals
Have come and left this life
Leaving me with such awful strife

But carry this with you always
In this life, I was loved by YOU!

I’ll find my way, somehow again,
Beautiful spirits all around me
Memories that make me smile

Cherished few in this life
So sacred in thoughts, word and deeds

I love who you are, a friend to me
I miss you tho you are always here

I think of you often, tho miles apart
So dear, so close always to my heart

My Hubby, My Love, My Life

Tho We've been together for so long,
Most of the time has been like a song.

I do love you so very much,
I still tingle just from your touch.

You're always so helpful and neat,
and I'm so proud your're mine to keep.

Yes, time is swiftly passing us by,
like flowers in spring, then summer, they die,
But you keep me going strong,
guiding me thru right and wrong,


Loving me as you do,
always so sweet and kind too.

Without you, I'd be so very weary,
and to go on in life, would be so dreary.

Your certain laugh and smile,
is a welcome to stay a while,


To see you in cheerful spirits,
is listening to a song with all the right lyrics.

So glad our lives have come together and touched,
and I will always LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH.

Written for my hubby, Michael

JUST ONE MORE DAY

Give me just one more day
to show/prove who I am
what I have become

Shy away from rumor/accusations
false lips, to hurt and seal honesty

If in doubt, confront me, for the real truth
a lying tongue can destroy nations, let alone
a devastated heart.

I am who I am in all truthfulness each day,
Let them come to me, with their deceit

My light will forever shine, for I am
who I am always and a day.
