I can see everyone around me, And everyone can see me too.                 But I long to see the one,                 Who watches over us anew. The one who sees us all, But remains invisible to the eye.               The one who guides us through life,                As we stumble and we try. I look up at the sky,Continue reading “God In Our Heart”

In our family’s realm, where hearts unite, Generations mingle, like stars in the night.            With varied views and thoughts held dear,            We cherish the bond that draws us near. Let us weave a rule, a gentle decree, That honors our differences, sets us free.            We will never complain, never explain,                     And enter the serene autumnContinue reading “Don’t complain, Don’t explain”

​​ When we love someone, We speak so softly.          The more we love,          The softer our words oft. But as love wanes, Our voices raise.        Till we’re shouting,        Lost in a loveless daze. We don’t need words, To speak in love.        Our hearts and minds,        Connect like a glove. Just whispers, In each other’s ears.Continue reading “Let Our Hearts Talk”

Some people hide their feelings in tears, Others in a smile so sincere.             But I wear my heart on my sleeve,             And express my feelings, without reprieve. I don’t believe in hiding away, My emotions, come what may.              I’ll laugh, I’ll cry, I’ll shout,              And let my feelings out, no doubt. I’m not afraid toContinue reading “Heart on my sleeve”

Cracks are never good, they say, For people try to peep and pry.            They want to know what’s going on,            And they won’t let it go until they try. The cracks that form on the surface, Are like windows to the soul.           And though we try to cover them up,           They always seem to takeContinue reading “Cracks In The Heart”

Don’t know how it was, When we waited for letters.            Excitedly checking the mailbox,            Hoping for something better. The anticipation and thrill, As we tore open the envelope.             Reading words from a distant friend,             And feeling a sense of hope. But now things have changed, And waiting seems like a crime.              We send messages everyContinue reading “Beauty of letters”

When love dies, it leaves an ache, A painful void, that’s hard to shake. The memories fade, the flame goes out, And what was once love, is now in doubt.             The promises made now left undone,             The passion and fire no longer won.             The sweet caresses, now just a memory,             The love that once was,Continue reading “The dawn will come”

Come, let’s remember old things, Let’s relive the moments of our past. The memories that our heartstrings, Once held, and made forever last. Come, let’s do old things once again, Let’s dance like we did before. Or simply sit, and chat like old friends, And let the memories overflow our core. The dust on ourContinue reading “Find a treasure in old”

Wherever you are, my heart is there, A bond that’s strong, beyond compare. For though we may be far apart, You’re always with me, in my heart. The miles may stretch, and time may fly, But still our love will never die. For in each moment, we’re together, In spirit, and in every endeavor. WhereverContinue reading “Life’s journey, you and me”

Imperfection, a label we’ve placed, On the things we see, the life we’ve traced. But what if imperfection was not a flaw, But a chance to grow, an opportunity to draw? For nothing is perfect, in this life we lead, From the smallest seed to the tallest weed. Our families, our friends, ourselves included, AllContinue reading “My imperfection is my perfection”

Sitting on Cannon Beach at night, Fire burning between us bright.         The sea, in high tide, was black as coal,         Eagerly rushing to kiss the shore’s soul. The sky was merging with the sea, A sight so beautiful, it felt like a dream.         The wind was so strong, I felt its might,         As if itContinue reading “A night at cannon beach”

Three wishes I have, to fulfill in my life, To bring me joy, and banish strife. For what good is living, without a dream? A hope to chase, a goal to scheme. My first wish is for love to find me, A soulmate kind and true. Someone to share life’s ups and downs, And helpContinue reading “My Three Wishes”

As I hung the curtains in my new home, I remembered days from years ago, When my son was small and by my side, Handing me things with joy and pride. Now he’s grown into a capable man, Taking care of things as best he can, And I find myself in a different role, ReceivingContinue reading “Role reversal”

You are my oxygen, my love divine, A breath of fresh air, in this heart of mine. Your presence fills me with joy and bliss, A feeling of completeness, I cannot miss. With every beat of my heart, I feel your love, An embrace that fits like a hand in a glove. Your touch releasesContinue reading “My love my oxytocin”

Children who leave home and go far, To chase dreams in lands afar, Leaving behind the familiar, To tread paths unknown, singular. Their eyes bright with ambition, Their hearts filled with determination, They seek new experiences and knowledge, With hopes to build a brighter future image. Their parents’ hearts ache with pride and fear, AsContinue reading “Empty nest”
