January 2006 Theme ~ "Nostalgia"
Friendships Never Forgotten
Laughter filling the airNot a care in mind
The only thing running through our heads
Is to just have a good time
Friendship pacts made
To never be apart
Closer than sisters and brothers
We hold deep within our hearts
Times long since passed
Leave memories treasured
Even though friends separate
Stay in the heart forever

When I Was Young
Early morning walksThe air crisp and clear
Orange and brown lined treetops
My favorite time of year.
No words passed between us
No sounds did we make
Never were we in a rush
Our own time did we take.
Those special moments I recall
Time spent with my mother
Our daily walks when I was young
Memories I wouldn't trade for any other.

If Things Were This Way
Once upon a time when I was youngSomething I would have loved
Some toys and nice clothes too
Food to eat and a bed to lie in
Instead of a cold dark porch
That was too small to play in
While waiting for someone to
Come home and let me in.
As the hours pass I start to shiver
Waiting to hopefully receive
A nice warm dinner.

My Wedding Day
I thought it would never happen to meI did not feel special enough
To be complimented
To be deeply cared about
To be in a man's arms
To feel his kiss
To be beautiful in his eyes until now
Your always on my mind
I look forward to everyday
As long as your in it
My heart races when your around
My skin tingles
when your arms are around me
I feel warm inside
When you tell me I' am perfect
I have butterflies in my stomach
Just thinking about your kiss
They flutter even more feeling it
I never felt real love until now

Through the Years
As I've grown older through the yearsThrough laughter love and many tears
I now recall with fondness my childhood
I always tried so very hard to be good
Grandma's old dresses we loved to wear
Parading down the street we would dare
Spending time with Grandpa and his sweetpeas
Climbing fences and those great big trees
Playing board games and always being outside
From morning 'til dusk when we'd all be so tired
We'd have our tea and then straight off to bed
Then to sleep when our prayers had been said
Gone are the days of never locking the door
A family outing once a week to the general store
No supermarkets or busy streets way back then
We will never ever see life like that again

Nostalgia
It was January 6th about six years ago or was it sevenThe day the angels came and took daddy off to Heaven
I don't know if he knew that it was his time to leave
As that angel appeared, and his heart gave a last heave.
As I miss him more and more each passing year
I smile as I remembered the stories oh so clear
About the mischievous little boy and his friends he told
As they lived and play and became tricksters bold.
Dad told us of a time when he and Marvin or Jack
Moved a crabby old man's outhouse a few feet back
And you know what happened to the man when he went out that way
One of the stories he laughed about in his younger day
He was the sort of man that could make anyone smile or grin
Daddy told stories about hunting camp or going fishin'
One about mom bending over picking berries in black pants
And gramma thinking it was a bear.... can you imagine that!
Oh yes nostalgia has set in these days as I grow older too
I think of things I haven't thought about in a year or two.
Sometimes they bring laughter or maybe a tear will fall
But it warms my inside thinking about dads smile most of all.

Say Stephanie
In memory of my first daughter, Stephanie April, born and died Thanksgiving Day, 1991 Say Stephanie.If you do not allow me to say her name,
You deny she was ever here.
And she walks with me everyday,
As an angel-child.
Say Stephanie.
She was, and is, and always will be.
Don't glance away
when I tell you about her
For her spirit deserves to be honored,
And her name deserves to be cherished.
I loved her and I always will.
Say Stephanie.

Memories
Thinking back on the good ole days,Of being a child with naught to do but play.
Of swimming in the lake with nary a care,
And breathing in deeply of fresh, clean air.
A few years down the road, I reached my teen years,
The memories of parties each Saturday are so dear.
Though fun they were there was the price
Of Sunday getting together to make the house look nice.
Next come High School graduation
A great and wonderful situation.
Then along came marriage
And nine and half months later, a baby carriage.
Looking back on all my memories,
I have decided, if you please,
That I would not change in any way,
A thing that has brought me to this day.

Reflections of You(th)
I close my eyes, I dare to dream,I wish upon a star
And there I hold the memories
of you within my heart.
I hear your voice, I feel your touch
and I fondly recall
Every moment of the years
like it's not past at all.
I see you smile, I hear you laugh,
while dancing in your eyes
Something quite mischievous,
reflections, I realise.
A scent, a glimpse, I hold my breath,
somehow I feel you near
With love shining from Heaven
though I wish that you were here.
I close my eyes and in my heart
forever you will be,
For dare I dream to always hold
your loving memory.

Yellow
Strands of gold glimmering sunhis fingers and wide eyes
from my head down to my bum
This ever growing prize of mine
My love of your feminine
beauty, your crushable frame
what part of yourself
equals what part of me?
I'm sorry if my despair
led me to stab you with knives
How I miss the soft pleasure
of turning my arm behind
my head and curling
my fingers to meet you
Idling stroking you as
I lay in bed and stare
up at the ceiling
your an arms length away
I'm sorry if my solitude
caused me to burn you with bleach
