Sweet Baby

"Sweet Sweet Baby, its time to close your eyes
and soar of above in the starry skies
I'll hold you until you fall asleep.
Sweet Baby, this life will get you down
your dreams will often hit the ground
but I'll be there to build you up.
Sweet Baby, when you feel no one is there for you
when you question if they care like you do
I'll be there to show you love.
Sweet Baby, you'll climb the hills that seem too steep
you'll conquer your fears and realize your dreams
and I'll be there to cheer you on.
Sweet Sweet Baby, its time to close your eyes
and soar of above in the starry skies
I'll hold you until you fall asleep.
Sleep my sweet."

Don't hide behind who you think everyone wants you to be, find yourself.

Just a little something I wrote a while ago, stumbled upon it this evening and thought I would share.

can you hold my hand forever?

“I'm holding onto what I hope will keep you by my side forever” - Dallas Green

You
(I wrote this for my mom to my grandma)

you were there for me when i scraped my knee
you were there when i first fell in love
you were there when he turned his back on me
you held my hand, you were enough

you were there when i said my i do's
you were there when things came unglued
you were there to comfort and guide
you were there, you stayed by my side

you were there for me when my children were born
you were there to wipe tears from my eyes
you were there when they began to grow and soar
you were there to tell me our future was bright

you've been there my whole life through
i can't imagine a single day without you
tomorrow holds a different future than i dreamed
but your hand i will hold through everything

just around the corner

are they waiting there...just around the corner
i can hear the footsteps they're coming closer
my pulse beats in my veins
my breaths get shorter
is this how it's gonna happen
my life can't be over
i'm frozen still in the place that i stand
all defenses have fallen; i should have ran
as i wait for the fear to boil over
the shadows grow larger as the terror gets closer
5 seconds pass and all goes quiet
i shake my head at last and choose to fight it
they won't take me today, i'm not ready to go
my life has just started, i scream.....
NO
when i open my eyes, i'm standing alone
the shadows are gone and the beating has slowed

walking the line

I have been playing with the idea of putting together a book of my poetry and illustrating it...here is one of the pages I came up with. I really like how it came out, thought I would share. Below is the actual poem.

:::walking the line:::

there's a haze that fills my eyes
a darkness I can't hide
each moment that you're away
i'm one breath closer
to my break

     is that what you're aiming for
     each time you walk through my door

     can you see the power that your presence holds
     how the look in your eyes torments my soul
i scream for you to go away
but inside i pray for you to stay
how can pain be so appealing to me
when my mind is begging to be free
     i can't fall for you again
