Some of my poetry.

I don't have much to talk about tonight. I have been wearing myself down all week trying to get this Camp out sleep over birthday party planned out. So, instead of a long drug out blab session. I thought I would share some of my poems. Please, respect me and my work. Don't claim any of it as your work. These poems are things that came from my heart. They were wrote while shedding many tears (and a few laughs of memories). I hope you enjoy them. Few of them have titles.

When things seem to fall apart,
I remember the day I opened my heart
I asked you to come in
And wash away all of my sin
You gave a new birth and an abundance of love
And remind me daily that you are always above
To keep me up right
When life seems to tight.
When I stumble and fall
You pick me up and stand me tall.
I remember well what you brought me from
And wait for the day you promised would come.
When life feels like an endless cave
I remember what you lovingly gave.
A son so loving and kind
Something down here we rarely find.
So we run to your arms
Knowing we will be safe from all harm.
My prayer this night
Is your help to finish this fight.


Time is passing slowly each day.
Holding on tight to things you would say.
Praying a pray for another days light.
Knowing you lead the ultimate fight.
You gave God your soul and promised your life
Leaving behind your family and wife.
We know that you are in a better place,
But still wish would see your sweet face.
To hug you tight and kiss your cheek
To see you sit here feeble and week
Was something none of us could take.
Yet we are know this journey will all will make
To see you again in Heaven some day.
I’m selfish you see, I want you back to stay.
I wondered at first why God would hurt us so bad.
Knowing the loss of you would make us so sad.
But he had a plan to follow through
He needed an angel so he took you.
I want you to know I love you so much
Just to feel one more time your tender touch.
I know you would want me to hold up and be strong.
But seeing you again is the for which I long.
Selfish of me to wish you were back,
To take you from your mansion to a little old shack.
You’re missed dearly and that will not change.
Not seeing here feels so strange.
I’ll not wish you back, and I will not cry
For this was only farewell, but never goodbye.


The days pass by
While I sit here alone
Wanting to see you as I cry
Listing for a simple tone.
A whisper
A laugh
A hum in the wind.
I miss your hugs
The comfort they gave.
You soul lives in Heaven,
But your body in a grave.
I feel so cold
So empty inside.
I see your chair
Your hats
Your clothes
A life for God,
I’m so glad you chose.
My love for you is forever.
It’s dwindling is never.


I stand here watching as you walk by,
Wondering why you even try.
You come out each season to look for me,
I have saw you sitting in that tree.
I walk out in range for any good shot
The shots ring out behind my trot.
I run off laughing because once again I know,
Another season gone by with no deer in tow…


Waiting for the pain to leave
Knowing I should take time to grieve
But the family is so torn apart
I hate to let this crack break my heart.
You laid alone as God came down.
Without a whisper without a sound
You left this world and us too.
I couldn’t say goodbye to you,
Or let you know my love.
But God needed you in Heaven above.
I hide the tears, no one should see,
Everyone says that’s not the way to be.
I want to take the walk
To your grave for us to talk
I wish He would have let you stay
But I am let her to cry and pray.
For a day I’ll see you again,
Our life in Heaven will then begin.
You were more then and grandfather to me.
Just wish I could have let you see
The Child of God, I’ve grown to be.
But from above your looking down
And watch each time my knees touch the ground.
I pray for peace and comfort for us down here
And ask that I didn’t need to shed a tear.
But the tears do fall fast and hard.
Breaking this wall I built to guard
MY BREAKING HEART!



Days now spent in endless tears.
Sometimes it seem that no one cares.
I know down deep tears are seeping
And they all will start weeping.
You loss has left a gash so wide
Sometimes I want to just go in and hide.
I don’t go visit, your old home.
But still my mind will roam
To the times we spent together
Knowing inside it wouldn’t last forever
We miss you dearly, but don’t ask why.
We knew it was your time to fly.
Well all knew this day would come.
No one imagined, we’d feel so numb.
I’ll miss you till my life is through
And know one day I’ll see you
Standing at the gates of pearl


Tomorrow’s his birthday
Wishing he could hear you say
“Happy Birthday my little man”
And pat his back with your hand so tan.
He doesn’t realize how lucky he was
And how dear you were to all of us.
He’s turning eight, I should be glad,
I wish he could have known you like I had.
To hear your tales of times gone by
When it come to them you were never shy.
I wish you were here to share in his special day
To hear the things you would have to say.
It’s days like this I miss you most.
Special days to share a toast.
To things past and things to come


Our first Easter apart,
This completely breaks my heart
I kept looking for your face
But it was out of it’s place.
I had hoped to be able to smile
If just for a while
But that’s something I couldn’t find
You took it with you when you left us behind
I know your leaving wasn’t by choice
But with this decision you had no voice.
I know time will make this easy
But that thought feels so cheesy
I wouldn’t dream to bring you back
To live in a clay built shack.
A beautiful body, you now show
Your lost babies are surely in tow
You have the life most dream of
No one pushing or trying to shove
You walk up right no cane needed
When God called you humbled and heeded.
Now the days come to a close
And only Heaven knows
How I’ll move on
With you gone…
