letter of love

writing letters still exists

Letter of love

After many years I picked up my pen to write
A letter to a long lost friend.
We grew up together she and I , together we
Laughed , we joked and at times we cried.
Then her and her family moved away
I searched for her night and day.
Like most teens in school we knew each other
By first name , as I searched – it seemed in vain.
When one of her friends I happened to see
And her address and name was given to me.
With tears in my eyes I started to write and my
Heart was filled with delight.
My feelings poured out on to the paper !

“ I fell in love with you from the start- you captured
My soul and my heart.
A happiness I never felt before until you walked into that door..
I don’t know if you feel the same way too , but my heart
Belongs to only you “

Two days later I received a reply
“ I’m sorry I never got to say good-bye “
My feelings for you are the same and maybe I’ll
Get to carry your name.
We’ll meet in college and start again for I love you
Much more than a friend .

The college years went by fast and we knew our love would last
Careers we both have now , and we took our wedding vows
Our love letters we put away for our children to read some day.

mothers love

 

I am but a mere child clinging to my mother s breast
Sucking out the love she has inside, as it makes me
Dizzy as if I am high.
The warmth and nourishment that it gives
Gets me stronger – with the strength to live.
Mother! Your love can’t be denied, it is something you cannot hide.
And you may not be around to see me grow
But in your heart you will know.
Whether it be distance or death that keeps us apart
You will always have me in your heart.
You nurtured and tutored me to know right from wrong
And showed me how to become unselfish and strong.
You showed me how a mother s gentle heart can be
And from indignations and chains you set me free.
We was born free – no leg irons or shackles to be found
Even the umbilical cord was thrown to the ground.
We as children are born free as eagles up in the sky
We could soar and we could climb.
All of this has been given to me, because you and GOD set me free.
GOD gave us a brain for us to use, and a heart with which to choose.
But the most important thing he gave to me
Was a mother “who loved me “.

a better place

All the tears that I have shed , and all the blood that I have bled
Cannot compare to what lies ahead
My soul mate , the love of my life is going to a place in paradise.
She says the gates have opened wide for her “ to go inside “.
Family and friends have gathered around for she is heaven bound.
The pathway is lit up with lights so bright , and all the
Angels in plain sight.
“ Swing Low , Sweet Chariot “being sung by a choir
Burning in her heart like a fire .
Her eyes are glassy and she has a smile on her face
Telling me she’s going to a better place.
For me not to cry, not to shed a tear for in my
Heart she’ll always be there.
I held her in my arms till her last breath , and now
I must lay her to rest.
I know I’ll follow you thru heavens gate
So wait for me – I won’t be late.

food for thought

As we get older we tend to search for what will complete us , such as love ,companionship
Friendship, , communication , a hug , a kind word .
The thing is that when we are young we do not think about getting old ,or getting ailments
That we never had before such as loss of strength , loss of memory ,loss of sight
Loss of hearing and so much more.
We feel infallible and nothing can hurt us , but we do get older and with age comes
Many things that we drag around like a chain .
We look at our parents and at times tend to ignore them and their complaints of pain.
There are more things going on now than ever before , with all the technology
We can go on a computer or cell phone and get information so much easier than ever before.
In doing and using this technology we can learn about a person and even destroy that
Person and their livelihood or shut down a company s system with the touch of a finger.
It seems that it is like the movies where robots become the masters of humanity .
Tell the people that are in your life that you love them before it is too late.
We will not be around when you need us or a listening ear or eyes to see your tears.

awaken the kraken

They go into politics with good intentions in mind
Till the corrupt politicians make them blind.
They say you cannot achieve that goal without the help
Of someone , so they introduce you to the one
With ‘ THE BIG GUNS ‘
They will back you with billboards, radio and TVs. ads
If you follow their simple plan.
They are lobbyist who are willing to pay if you do what they say.
Once they have their nails in you – none of your dreams will come true.
You are now just a piece of meat from your head to our feet.
They will freeze you or eat you as they see fit and take their
Bites bit by bit.
The only ones that stay true to themselves are the peacekeepers
Such as MANDELA , MARTIN LUTHER KING ,
The KENNEDYS who were assassinated because they wanted change
And we as the public are to blame.
Wealth and power is what politicians seek and want the public blind and weak , so we allow this because we are meek and afraid if we speak.
( truth being said : no one person can do it on their own without
Physical or financial help from people who believe the same as you)
Injustices can only be fought with the power of voices united .

strangers love

You came into town as a stranger, but one look at you
And my heart was in danger.
How could I avoid your piercing eyes looking deep into my soul
Touching every fiber and taking all control.
When you spoke it was like a soothing song and in that flow
Was where I belonged.
You asked : can you tell me the best place in town where
I could lay my weary head down ?
You touched my arm and it was like electricity in my veins
And I’ll never be the same.
What is this power that you posses that I want to show
You my very best!

Yet when I wanted to speak, my tongue got tied and my
Knees got weak.
Is this what they call “ love at first sight “ ?.
Am I wrong or am I right ?
Can someone you meet for the very first time
Control your heart and your mind.
She said : I fell in love with you many years ago
But I was young and you didn’t know .

We moved away- and in my heart you did stay , so now
I’m back to stake my claim cause you’re the one that
I need to tame , they’ll be no more running around
So you better plant your feet on the ground.

This is that strangers love of which I speak , when my tongue
Got tied and my knees got weak. YAHOO

band of brothers

Band of brothers

We are a band of brothers and sisters stationed
In countries far away – where civil wars
Are fought “day to day“.
We’ve become the peace keepers for the oppressed
Who are so very tired and need a bit of rest.

The struggles are the same worldwide
People are fighting for freedom , and that they can’t deny.
Poverty , hunger, sickness and civil war is all they have
To look forward for.
“ Peace “ is just a word blowing in the wind
But it’s in their hearts hiding deep within.

Many want us there in hopes of creating change
So their lives will not stay the same.
All of this has been here since the beginning of time
humanity could not live together so GOD separated us
But if we was to use our own monetary words which say
“ IN GOD WE TRUST “
It would be a blessing for all of us.

Let all the good hearted people hold each others hands and soon
It will spread throughout each and every land.
I know it will not happen in my lifetime, but maybe for
Our great grandchildren , this world will be just fine.
