It's quiet and peaceful
with a cool breeze -
birds are chirping while
landing on palm trees...
The sun is out
for a relaxing day -
people stroll by
as the move on their way...
To get some exercise
or lay by the pool -
eat lunch on a patio
until they are nice and full...
Sweet Saturday's
where beauty surrounds -
I breath in salty air
and listen to the sounds...
of the life I dreamed of
living close to the sea -
I am so lucky that this
happened for me.
I have to believe
I have to trust -
that all I am learning
is a must...
For my future
for my dreams -
and trust the process
in between...
Rejections sucks
but maybe I'll see -
it is what will
set me free..
to really do
what I want to -
while my hopes
pull me through.
I'm so glad
I moved on -
and all my past
is now gone...
I wasted time
trying to see -
but it was all
wrong for me...
I finally found
my new home -
from now on
this is my own...
I'm happy inside
I'm thankful too -
this is what
I needed to do.
Chin up buttercup
count your blessings
not your trials...
This will pass
like everything else
it just might take a while...
The glass can be
half empty
but that means it's half full...
So use what's left
with all your strength
and follow the golden rule...
Live each day
try your best
leave negativity behind...
Do what you can
with what you have
and you will be just fine.
All I can do
is try to heal -
and pamper myself
as I try to feel...
Normal again
like it was before -
if it will happen
I'm not even sure...
I wake to the day
and shed a tear -
the throbbing pain
still lingers here...
Dreams that I want
to awaken from -
problems I pray
are finally done...
Yet I still rise
and face the new day -
when really I'd rather
just hide away.
I'm trying to be
happy here -
and let go of
all this fear...
about the future
and where I'll be -
make choices that
are right for me...
Starting over
is scary to say -
it's learning to live
a whole new way...
New places, people
new scenery -
wondering where
I will finally be...
working and living
with security -
I will get there
eventually.
As I wake with a smile
I have to stop and say -
thank you dear Lord
for this Easter holiday...
My son is here with
his dog by his side -
we will soon hang out
and cookout poolside...
We'll share laughter
and good food -
Enjoying this day
with a happy attitude...
Thank you that this
worked out my way -
I give praise to God
on this Easter holiday.
You were only
a beautiful dream -
although at the time
you truly seemed...
So perfect
life was new -
and then unfortunately
it was true...
You headed to heaven
you died so young -
we were alive
and had barely begun...
Living what would
be your life -
I wonder if I could
have been your wife...
I doubt it
but we will never see -
because our love
will never be...
We skinny dipped
enjoying your mansion -
back in the day
it was such an expansion...
rest easy my friend
I do not know -
why the good ones
have to go.
Maybe he's right
I'm never satisfied -
Maybe when I said I do
I actually lied...
So why am I still
standing by his side -
why haven't I
ran away to hide...
I think it's because
I love him from my heart -
and I never want
that to fall apart...
I'm not perfect
and never have been -
but I choose to live my life
loving only him.
Let it rain
please let it rain -
let it rain down
on this ground...
It may not be
my forever home -
but it's the home
I've found...
I traveled long
I traveled wide -
with my favorite people
by my side...
Now that I am
finally here -
I can not help
but to abide...
with the animals
and towering palms -
with the many flowers
that keep me calm...
Please let it rain
and feed this earth -
so that it thrives long
after I'm gone.
Don't be afraid
and hide away -
Just look and face
the brave new day...
I'm sick of the scary
and of the fear -
I made the move
and now live here...
So quit the crying
work it out -
no longer live
in any doubt...
Yes things happen
everywhere -
so live your life
no matter where.
Who would of thought
I would wake up one day -
living the life
I dreamed of and say...
I just can't believe
I am really here -
we made it reality
and now we are near...
The ocean, the waves
the towns that we love -
living the life
we actually dreamed of...
Thank you dear God
for blessings from you -
together we made
this dream come true.
I'm trying to do
what's best for you -
for all of us
and Buddy too...
But I swear
that I miss you -
each day is hard
to get through...
You're energetic
and so much fun -
your young life
has just begun...
So this is what
they think you need -
in a few weeks
you will be freed...
and we will pick up
to where we were -
me throwing balls
and petting your fur...
I love you Shilo
and miss you too -
I'm just trying to do
what's best for you.
