That place

On rolling hills my heart takes flight

to bound expanse, to frolic right

I breathe the air and inward take

the sun the grasses upon me break

It is the open plains I seek

to onward go where sky meets peak

This earthy goodness oh so right

I run bared footed on paths till night

and nestle down for rest just when

my eyes grow heavy and hearts a'grin

with memories of day's bright fun

this is the place I'll always come.

Mom

She cried the day you left

She kissed the ouchie on your cleft

She held you close when life was rough

And worked so hard to keep you tough

She laughed at all your silly jokes 

She made you face that nasty bloke

She made that awfully crazy cake 

At your bodacious birthday eighth

And on her lap you felt secure

The day you pondered life's demure 

She held you up and watched you sing 

At your first great recital fling 

She taught you how to laugh at rain

Whether healthy or in pain

She gives and gives and seldom takes

To make your life reach higher gates

So on this time I'll stop and say

You are the best, take joy this day!

Happy Mothers day Mom. <3

When I get to heaven

When I get to heaven
The songs that I shall sing
With angel voice and music
And love for all I'll bring.

When I get to heaven
Ill miss those left behind
But others gone before me
Will I love to find.

When I get to heaven
My troubles past shall be
Tears and sorrows never
Just smiles for all to see.

When I get to heaven
Ill stop and ponder long
The long dark road I travelled
To reach this shore alone.
