Love and Music - Original Poem

Love and Music
She was only four when she sang along with the old record
“Put another nickel in, in the nickelodeon…”
The dry cleaning fumes from the shop below lingered
With the music playing she went to sleep,
Days were filled with imaginary playmates.
Mommy and daddy were busy with customers
A room filled with shades of brown and black hats
Perched on wooden heads were her audience.
She greeted the customers with a million questions,
She wished for real people to be with
Mommy and daddy were busy with customers
“All I want from you is love and music, music, music.”

I Didn't go to Church - original poem

I Didn’t Go to Church Today
I went to the dog park to enjoy the company of creatures who know how to love unconditionally.
I shared coffee with friends whom I cherish.
I went for a walk in the neighborhood and felt connected to those around me who were tending their gardens.
I gazed at the summer sky and watched the clouds drift by.
I breathed deeply and felt gratitude for being alive on this Sunday.
No, I didn’t go to church but I spent the day with God.

Birthday Lemons - poem

The four large, fragrant lemons in the old wooden bowl

Speak to me of love, laughter and friendship.

They tell me of their tree that shaded little girls

Playing with dolls till dusk,

Of the sweet, tart lemonade we sipped through years

Of Birthday parties and on hot summer days.

The lemons smile knowing the secrets we shared,

Of the boys we liked, first kisses and the lies we told our parents.

They whisper to me of their presence in my life,

Through the years of Childhood innocence,

Marriages, Births, Heartbreaks and even Death.

Today is my Birthday and the lemons are here,

As messengers from my best friend,

That I am loved.

Counseling with Pastor!!!

What a blessing!!! I also called Andrea M. right after I got off the phone with my dad last Friday.� She was great to let me know that I need to set up my guidelines not only for me but really for the boys and then stick by them.� I can change my mind.� They are my kids.�

My meeting with Pastor Bill and Kim was very good.� We discussed the wedding but the best part was being able to vent about my dad and the family situation.� They helped so much.� ONE, was to let me know I am not the one in the wrong.� (that would be the devil working through my dad to make me feel guilty!) and that all I can do is pray and let the love of Jesus shine through me,,, on this dark situation.� I want to show them all the love of Jesus no matter what they have done.� I am not to judge but I do need to be responsible for being safe and keep my boys from getting hurt.

Last one

This is probably going to be the last time i write in this thing..everrrrr. Or i hope.

I realized a couple days ago what people are all about. You cant call people your best friends just because they are there some times. You cant call them best friends if you know they talk about you behind your back. Well, I am done with one of my "best friends" & honestly, this year couldnt have been more dramatic, thanks to her. I love hanging out with her, and I love how I have met so many more people thanks to her, but its time to really move on from that. While her telling me little life lessons can sometimes help me out, it discourages me more than anything else. No one is perfect and I'm sure we both have realized that by now; we were so fixated on perfecting this friendship for so long, but nothings perfect. Friends fight. The only problem with this friendship was that we fought over stupid things. And, I dont mean to be the girl who blames it on everyone else, but 95% of the time, the fight was not my fault. It was all her. She has been a hypocrit throughout the entire friendship. She told me a long time ago she thought I was changing when i started to smoke weed & drink. What do you know, she started drinking every weekend and eventually smoked weed as well.. Tells me i shouldnt keep things from her, but she keeps so much from me. Says I shouldnt talk about her, she talks so much about me. Tells me this and that, blah blah blah to the point where its eventually come to me that the entire friendship was a lie. It never seemed real from the beginning, and to be honest it feels like she only became friends with me because of Alex. And now that i have no ties to alex anymore, she could care less about this friggin friendship. And im happy to say that I could care less too.� I also think that while she was telling me to grow up, she was happy she knew all of my passwords to "destroy" my social life.. good one.

Thats basically it.� And i dont care what anyone has to say about that

So the other day I was checking my facebook and like an old man was apparently checking out the people on the�flirtable application.� So he like clicked on like the yes button like I am flirtable or whatever and it's like OLD PEOPLE AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE DOING THESE THINGS!!� That's just like not right...at all.� I've had an old man come up to my mom and I in the gym and told us that we knew how to shake our butts.� He kept on checking us out after that and then my mom gave him a nasty stare and he left us alone.� I really wanted to curse that guy out so bad.� I mean that's just like not cool.� They should go after old ladies with wrinkly skin who they think are hot not my mom and I!� Old people have to realize that once they look all wrinkley and shriveled up that nobody is going to go for them anymore!!
