APART
we’ve always been together,
we did everything with laughter,
we thought it was forever.

when I was in danger
you knew how to ease my fear,
you were always there to be my savior.

at first we were strangers,
until we became closer,
and now we are together.

but time flows like a river.
it became complicated and faster,
until we realized that we’re older.

and that is what is keeping us apart,
I was here,
and you were there.

but I know we still care,
but our friendship slowly fades in the air,
how can it be so unfair?.

can “our past” be also called “our future?”
because I don’t want to surrender
the memories we’ve shared together.
 Don’t walk in front of me,
I may not follow;
Don’t walk behind me,
I may not lead;
Walk beside me,
and just be my friend.
Of all the friends I’ve ever met,
You’re the one I won’t forget,
And if I die before you do
I’ll go to heaven and wait for you.
I will give the Angels back their wings,
And risk the loss of everything.
Just to prove our friendship is true,
I’m thankful I have a friend like you!
Is something wrong?
I can see it in your eyes.
What is going on?
What’s with all the lies?
Please tell me now.
I want to know.
Don’t hide it inside.
Let your feelings show.
Is it to hard?
Please tell me the truth.
Maybe I can help,
Or your feelings I can sooth.
Is it a death?
Please don’t be sad.
Is it your grandparents?
Or your mom and dad?
Don’t be too glum.
I’ll help you out,
Even if u just there,
Cry, or pout.
I’m your friend.
That’s what I’m here for.
Don’t lock me out,
Don’t close the door.

 

Don’t Go

You never see me, but I always see you. You’re in my mind, my thoughts, and all my dreams too. You think you’re imperfect in every single way, that there’s no reason that you should stay. There is a reason, a simple one really, just open your eyes so you can see clearly. The sky, the mountains, the air we breathe, why in the world would you want to leave? You give hopefulness to a heart that’s filled with despair, you help free the souls that would never care. You can’t go, you just have to stay, because if you left, it’d hurt too much to say.
We have been there for each other most of our teenage lives
Went through the worst, dealt with each others strife
Tears that have run down our faces
The love we give the other embraces
We have always helped the other out
And we have always known the other would be there without a doubt
Now you’re going through tough times
And I am here making these silly rhymes
I was just writing to let you know
I love you a lot and I hope that it shows
You are very special and loved
Emotions being tossed pushed and shoved
So do me a favor while you are gone
Know I am here waiting no matter how long
I will be here for you until the very end
Because you’re rare and that what we call a true friend

To my Butterflies

THIS SAYS IT ALL:
Time passes.
Life happens.
Distance separates.
Children grow up.

Jobs come and go.
Love waxes and wanes.
Men don’t do what they’re supposed to do.

Hearts break.
Parents die.
Colleagues forget favors.
Careers end.

BUT……..
Sisters are there,
no matter how much time and how
many miles are between you.
A girl friend is never farther away
than needing her can reach.

When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you
have to walk it by yourself, the women in your life
will be on the valley’s rim, cheering you on,
praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on
your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the
valley’s end.

Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk
beside you….Or come in and carry you out..
Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters,

daughters-in-law, sisters, sisters-in-law, Mothers,
Grandmothers, aunties, nieces, cousins, and extended
family, all bless our life!

The world wouldn’t be the same without women, and
neither would I. When we began this adventure called
womanhood, we had no idea of the incredible joys or
sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we know how much we
would need each other.
Every day, we need each other still.

Pass this on
to all the women who help make your life meaningful.
I just did.
Short and very sweet:
There are more than twenty angels in this world.
Ten are peacefully sleeping on clouds.
Nine are playing.
And one is reading her email at this moment.

Send this message to ten of your friends
including me.
If you get 5 replies,

Someone you love will surprise you.
