Having Friends

Friends

Friends are there to encourage us.

To help us when we are scared.

To love us, even though, they know us.

To be honest and real with us.

To hang in there with us....

and

To pray for us when our kids are having there tonsils out and we are freaked out!!!!

I am so thankful to all of my friends and I hope I can always be a good friend to you all. I love you all. :)

The Layer

is there a way to understand

and not have an

underlying layer of sadness

so far

I try and try

to avoid thinking

about the layer of

sadness that is with

me

It is much easier to see

others and want to

help them

because I really

don't want anyone

to feel like I have felt

and sometimes feel

what I feel leads

to understanding

but I don't know

WHY

stillness

sometimes it still hits me
no matter where I am
or what I am doing
no matter how many
people are with me
or how many aren't
maybe it will never
leave
maybe that is okay
just the way it is
for me
I can still
breathe

Happy 4th of July- We Love the USA

Enjoy the day!!!

The Organization of Writing Thoughts

Writing is like a prescription

I sit down

write what goes

through my mind

go back and read it

then I am completely surprised

that it makes sense

then I am even more

surprised

that anyone can

relate to it

but there is always

someone who

understands

this lets me know

there are others

out there like me

who write for

understanding

I pull what I write

from my heart

most of the time

buried so deep

I can't give it much

th0ught or it will

retreat again
