What We Were
What We Were
What we were is what we are
The good and bad, the near and far
The small and large, the happy and sad
Treasure each day, be grateful and glad

Just Like The Weather
Just Like The Weather
Life can be good
Life can be bad
Just like the weather
You never know
what’s to be had
Seasons of joy
Seasons of sorrow
Just like the weather
There’s always tomorrow
Months turn to years
Years to a lifetime
Just like the weather
It stays on our mind.

Beach Memories
Beach Memories
Sitting on the porch
Remembering the day
When that strange
Flamingo passed my way.
So cute and pink
With Drink in hand
Walking the beach
Kicking sand.

Life is Like fishing
Life is Like Fishing
You never know what your going to get
Sometimes nothing
sometimes a snag
sometimes a big catch?

This Spring is Better than Last
This Spring is Better than Last
This spring is better than last
No point living in the past
Each new season is there for a reason
Life keeps changing, just rearranging

Tomorrow a Fulfilled Dream
Tomorrow a Fulfilled Dream
May the sun shine today
Yesterday be a warm memory
Tomorrow a fulfilled dream

Divorce
Divorce
Lonely, sad
life feels bad.
An empty house
without a spouse.
Want my life
to feel just right.
Be content
not to vent.
Have to heal
so I can feel.
To love again
before the end.

May Day
May Day
It’s soft and gentle, the first day of May.
The crabapple branches wave in the breeze.
The dandelions fluoresce in the spring sun.
The last of the tulips stand one more day.
The quiet surrounds, the warmth hugs – May arrives.

The Little Things I Love
The Little Things I Love
A surprise call during the day to say “I Love You”
A small hug when I least expect it.
Opening and closing the car door for me.
Walking hand in hand quietly talking.
Caring about how my day went.
Offering me quiet loving passion.

The Edge of Love
The Edge of Love
The sadness is really hard to bear, struggling on the edge of love.
To really know if it is lost or still there, buried so deep under hurt, guilt and sorrow.
Or is it just a fond remembrance of a once new and passionate love?
The answers, the truth, lay deep inside.
There is no shortcut, no gentle path, it’s an uphill battle all the way.
There will be a time, when you crest the hill, and the answer quietly appears.
You may be talking tall and alone or holding hands with the love of your life.
Only time and patience and tears will tell what your heart already knows,
but silently waits to whisper to your soul.

Location Unknown
Location Unknown
I love your caress
the gentle touch of your hand
the warmth of your body next to mine.
I love the time we spend together
in a place that has no name.
No street signs point the way
no one else knows
found only by loving hearts
location unknown.
