She Laughed

I don’t know what happened but the one I used to make laugh all the time now just cries. I buy her roses to make her smile but instead she cries and says they remind her of when her mother died. I tell her a funny story and she just stares and sighs. I remember her laugh it would fill the room joy. She smiled and laughed most when she was with our boy. But cancer took him when he was only 3 and a half they he died so did her laugh.

Shadow

It's the second day of February so out the hole he creeps.
We wait to see does he see his shadow to know whether
or not we get six more winter weeks.
How crazy are we?
We're letting our future depend on a Groundhog's shadow.
Maybe the really shadow we are afraid to see
is the shadow that is our own insecurities.
Because how secure can we be in ourselves when we sit in wait in anticipation for to see if a Groundhog sees his shadow.

My Last Breath

When I see you my heart swoons.
I tremble from your kiss.
I get lost in your eyes.
I love you like my last breath.

You say you love me the same,
and that you can't imagine
your life without me.
You tell me I'm the air that you breathe.

You say all these things,
but then you choke and beat me.

Well as much as I love you;
I must leave. Because
if I stay the next time you
put your hands around my neck
it just might be my last breath.

Alone

I’m from a family of seven
which to most it would seem
as if I would never be lonely.
But somehow in all that crowd
I always feel as if I’m alone.
Alone as a feather on the wind,
or alone as a single grain of sands.
My voice speaks but no one in the
family hears it. I reach out for
a hug but all I grasp is air.
I’m alone.
Alone as one ripple is on the sea.
Alone as the sun is in the sky.
In a family of seven somehow
I’m alone.

Capture a Moment

To most people it may seem as if I’m standing still,
but I’m not, for I am just catching a moment.
Time may be endless, but life is not. So each moment
I live I try to capture it. Even if it is just a cold breeze pasting across my
face, or a smile from stranger. I hold it there for a moment in capture it
in the camera that’s my heart. For tomorrow is not promise so I live for today, and in this day I’ll be sure to capture a moment

Stranger Among Us

As the clock of time ticks sometimes the love ones we knew become strangers among us.
The brightness of hope that was once in their eyes has become a dim light of despair.
Their once quick witted brains have now become a jungle of slow confused thoughts.
All their answers have turned into questions.
And their laughter is now nothing more than soulful cries.
Now because Alzheimer the woman I knew so well; mom!
She is now a stranger among us.

First Love is You

It is never wrong to love someone else;
But make sure your first love is you.
You can buy your lover a gift that is cool.
But make sure you also buy something just for you.
You can whisper sweet words in your lovers' ear.
But make sure you tell yourself you are beautiful every time you look in the mirror.
I know when you love someone else you sometimes lose yourself.
And there is nothing wrong with love someone else;
But make sure your first love is you.

It Don't Matter

Yes I have a disability.
But it don’t matter.

Yes I use a wheelchair for mobility.
But once again it don’t matter.

Yes because of my disability my speech is sometimes hard to understand. But like I said before it don’t matter.

And yeah there are those who because of their disability they have to talk with their hands. But you know it don’t matter.

Whether or not a person has a disability don’t matter.
We should all be treated as if we matter.

We Are Apart

I know it has been six months since we went our separate way,
but I heard from someone that you were hurting the other day.
I immediately opened my arms to embrace you and take away your pain.
I wanted to run to you and give you a shoulder to cry on.
I saw myself picking you up as you fell in anguish.
After I heard all I wanted to do was be there for you.
Wow, all the things I couldn’t do when we were together;
I want to do for you now that we are apart.

I Talk with My Hands

Just because my voice doesn’t speak
don’t mean I don’t say a word.

I talk with my hand
when I want to be heard.

I speak fast for those who know me.
I slow down for the ones who stop
to hear me. I talk with my hand.

I have preached sermons
and I have told jokes
With my hand I have spoke.

Now, as for those who don’t
want to hear me no matter
what I say or do.

I’ll still talk with my hands
I’ll fold them and pray for you.
