Bits and Pieces of Life, Love
and Inspirational Messages

A Christmas Story
11
I want to remember. I dont have it so bad.
Things could be worse and I could be mad.
I want to be thankful for all I have had.
Knowing I am blessed isnt so bad.
12
A Gentle Little Lamb
13
This stranger in the night,
He rapes me of my innocence.
He moves, Oh. So slowly,
Stripping me of my senses.
Over the past year we have seen the rise and fall of pedophiles in
this country. I remember when I was a child. My father molested me
during my youth. I know what it feels like to be hurt in this way. I
wanted the reader to feel the fear, to understand how this affects
children even years later in adulthood. When we become adults this
part of your childhood you put behind you and move forward.
Though, you will never forget. I left home at fifteen labeled a out of
control teen. Even forty-five years later I can still feel him coming
near.
14
A Kiss at Dawn
15
I gently touch the warm, moist forest floor
Where small soft babies slowly stirring next to a mothers
Bountiful breast, each moving quietly over the other.
I listen, for the suckling and slurping of each fragile new life.
Growing older and reaching middle age, I find myself reliving the
moments in my childhood.
16
A Lost Love One
17
I have a son who serves with the Navy and has made a career out
of the military. With the war raging in the Middle East, I can only
imagine how it feels for the thousands of mothers who have lost their
children. I write this passage for the mothers who have seen this very
picture. I want them to know there are others who can share their pain.
18
Mommas Prayer for Her Soldier
19
I Pray for YourAngels,
So they may always be with You.
My son joined the Navy in 1998. I have always had a soft spot
for our soldiers. But when it is your son, all logic leaves. I wanted
to say what every mother wants to say to her soldier son.
20
A New Horizon
21
Together we will keep the embers red,
Until this last piece of our nightmare is dead.
22
A Perfect Day in May
23
Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
Celebrating Memorial Day.

A Place Where the Spirit Grows
25
Many years have past and Bluebell got old.
She still remembers what Little Big Man once told.
We all have a time when we must go.
But there is a place where the spirit grows.
Little Big Man was a very old ferret I adopted. Bluebell was a
parakeet that befriended Little Big Man about a year before his death.
In nature these two critters are enemies. But in my home, they would
eat together and sleep together. Bluebell had no fear. Little Big Man
was dying of cancer and became very sick toward the end. Bluebell
didnt understand and became angry when Little Big Man couldnt
play.
Death is confusing to anyone, when we lose a love one to illness.
It brings great pain for everyone as the illness finally takes away the
body of the one you love. This is what we mourn. Without the body
the spirit is free to move onto the next part of life. The spirit continues
to grow.
This little fable, teaches us that death of our body isnt the end of
our spirit.
26
A Resolution for the New Year
27
I started writing poetry in the winter of 2004. For each holiday or
event, I wrote a piece that would represent that time. Keeping my
goals to write short poems that inspired & lifted our spirits. So when
the first of the year came I wrote this piece to reflect how I saw the New
Year coming. Though, there is much we cannot control. We can
control how we react to these issues.
28
A Soldier Rides
29
Then some special Vets
Came one day.
They pick you up and
You went on your way.
30
Bad Bad Boys
Do you know a Bad Bad Boy? You can always count on them,
He may be the guy next door, Always being right there.
Or someones brother, Especially if its got sex
You cant always be sure. In it for them, somewhere!
Hes a Mamas pride and joy, But when the night is quiet,
A fathers nightmare. And your bed lonely and cold.
Take the good with bad. A Bad Bad Boy,
Its seems only fair. Can fill that empty void.
31
Into the late hours of night. Your faith in many, many ways.
Hes honest and trustworthy, So when you find,
The best friend to have. Your own little Bad Bad Boy.
Dont tell him he cant. Be sure to love them only,
Because hell show you he has. They are a rarity like no other
little joy!
32
Choices
33
Christmas Cheer Coming
34
As I grow older with each passing new year.
I cant help but shed a few tears.
35
Dear Kenny
36
For together we can conquer,
Any thing, that comes our way.
I want to say I love you,
In my own little way.
37
Dear Sal
38
One day at a time, it still doesnt seem real.
To lose the love of your life the pain is so real.
So I hope you wont mind if I say Hi every now or then!
To let you know how my life goes on and how it comes in.
I lost my long time companion last year, a chocolate lab that I miss
very much!
39
Did You Know I Have Cancer?
40
Or was it the day I left this mortal realm?
Or was it my funeral, and finally our farewells?
Do you notice, I am no longer in pain
And though I have left your side.
I am much closer as an angel, then I ever was when I was alive.
Cancer is a part of our life. Weve come a long way with research
and cures. But there is still a percentage of people that will leave us
behind whether there is a cure or not. This is a very cruel death for our
love ones. Knowing there is no easy way to leave someone behind, I
like knowing my love ones can watch over me from beyond.
41
We Die the Way We Live
42
Your eyes will cry
Just one little tear.
But your heart will scream,
With senseless fear.
43
Earth Angels
44
Their work is tiring, and difficult.
Without complaint they never wear.
They know their duty is needed.
Their rewards are few to share.
45
Final Good-byes
46
What a special gift to give
To share your love one last time.
Once your affairs are in order,
Then there is no surprise!
47
Goodbye, Old Man Winter
48
Soon warm spring rain will help the flowers stay.
Giving life to everything in a subtle way.
Before you know winter will be here again,
So lets enjoy this spring weather while we can!
49
Happy Birthday to My Old Friend
Life is never easy, and the road has taken its toll.
With each Birthday we managed just to hold our own.
With our senior years now knocking,
I feel much wiser about our days of old.
So I want to wish you the best of the Big Five O!
50
Happy Fathers Day
51
A tribute to our fathers, I wanted to create a verse that honored
fathers on Fathers Day. I find very few good messages out there in the
Greeting Cards for Fathers Day. I wrote this with vision of it in
greeting cards for those who have very special fathers.
52
Happy Mothers Day
Mom Tum!
54
With this milestone I have conquered.
I want to start the next part of my life,
Saying Thank You to the one person,
Who taught me how to love in this light.
I am where I am today looking at life,
Thankful for all my falls, my blunders, my plight.
With everything that Life gives and takes
I wanted you to know that day long ago.
Changed my future and the path I was bound to go.
Above all I am glad to be here today.
To tell you
This is my gift to you, on Mammas Day,
To say I love you Mom Tum in my little way!
55
Happy Thirtieth Birthday Son
Then the day came you was ready to go your own way.
So I ask God if he could help you find your pathway.
56
Hello!
I created this piece for one of many Poetry Contests that I entered
over the past year. I wanted to write a piece that was a little spiritual
in nature, but deliver a clear message. I wanted to remind readers that
there is a lot of life we take for granted.
57
Hello, Dear Ashley!
I got a message,
You werent feeling well.
Your body is fighting
Cancer.do tell!
58
Take each day as it comes,
And rest when you are done.
Keep in mind that you are young,
And show them doctors you are not done!
In memory of Ashley a young man who left this world way too
soon!
A fellow poet asked me if I could write something for Ashley and
his family during a very sick episode he was having in the hospital.
This is what came from my heart. Though, his family has seen this
poem, Ashley didnt.
I wrote another piece titled, Oh, Ashley! when I received word
that he passed this life and went home. I wanted to honor this brave
young man.
I created this simple, easy reading verse to lift up the spirits of any
child who may be sick with Cancer by just replacing the name and age.
I pray that my words of inspiration might be of some comfort to those
involved in such a cruel illness.
59
HOPE
With the recent storms and endless victims over the past year. I
wanted to remind us that HOPE is more then a four-letter word.
60
I Am So Sorry!
Her body might be gone, but her spirit remains the same.
She is watching over you with all that remains.
61
I Miss You
62
In Memory of Sal
2/11/96-10/26/06
63
So let me just say.
I will hold your spirit high each and every day!
Always being thankful for every moment in each day.
But, there is one more thing I want you to know!
You saved my life,. This I know!
64
It Wasnt Long Ago
As I grew older,
And the years have gone by.
I look back at my life,
And I cant help wonder why?
65
I soon learned what fear would be like.
For pain took over and made its own life.
But this is my body and not my life!
My spirit and soul are the keys to a better life.
There was a time in my life where pain ruled with an iron fist. In
the early nineties it was MS, later I will be diagnose with
fibromyalasia. Each with a life sentence just the same. I wrote this
for someone who was suffering with great pain that just crippled her.
The doctors have no answers, just more pills and so you live in a lonely
world of chronic illness. I know that pain. There is lot of us out there,
so this is for you!
66
Its Halloween!
67
If you listen carefully,
You can hear her laughing eerily.
As she flies through the night sky,
Where little Trick or Treaters is passing by.
68
Kylie Champa
69
When days are hard for me to bear.
I sit back and give a song to prayer.
With your favorite song at heart,
It wont be hard to get a fresh start.
70
Mr. Habit
71
My Soul Mate
72
I know that we are aging quickly now by far.
I dont want it gone with out said
How much your life here is treasured in my heart.
Over the years, our loyalty for each other went beyond duty,
And beyond the time and space that we share today.
For the love we share together
Will be crown by the sands of time.
In honor of the special man in my life, for the love of my life, Sal,
my support companion. He was my legs when I couldnt stand. Now
in his later years we both have learn to respect father time.
73
Oh, Ashley!
74
Part two of a pair of poems dedicated to honor the life of this brave
young man. I believe this clear and simple verse gives a clear message
and offers the understanding of the courage that this little guy
possessed. My goal is to see this piece published and honor forever the
life of Ashley.
75
Oh, Katrina!
OhKatrina!
We had no idea what you would do.
But when the morning light came,
Life was never going to be the same.
Many of us watched the news in horror.
The breath taking pictures brought such sorrow.
What will we do? The survivors cried!
We have no water, no food or pride.
We lost everything, and some lost their lives.
Oh. Katrina! How will we survive?
76
Then the worst came to pass.
The Levis broke and what was left will never last!
Our country has suffered many blows.
But the loss of life from Katrina, no one will ever know.
77
Oh, My God!
78
On a Wing and a Prayer
79
My adult years are winding down slowly, I am afraid to say.
Golden youth shares my spirit; my soul is ready to call it a day.
So when my days have come to a welcome end.
My last wish is to leave the way I came in
On A Wing & A Prayer
80
Patience
81
So each time I find myself anxious, or stress out.
I must remember I have the Patience to wait it out.
My Spirits Loyalty is to my Higher Self.
Giving me the courage and erasing my doubt.
82
Poor Wont Buy Me
83
Poor wont buy me
The embarrassment back, when I couldnt pay my rent,
Save my car from repossession or let me say yes to my son.
When all he wanted was a little toy Tonka truck.
When I took ill in the early nineties, no one could prepare me for
the road, of government resources, below poverty conditions, and
aurora of a lower social class that everyone snubs. We watch
conditions changing at the local levels, in high government, and in our
own cultural habits every day.
A person needs back bone instead of courage, and discipline
instead of focus, persistence instead of anger, and you learn to have
patience of a saint, skin tough as nails and Faith like the Pope.
Then I write another poem.
84
Sal, My Pal
85
A short time ago my loyal companion, Sal, a chocolate lab gave me
a real life shocker and I had to face his mortality. The scare has made
me realize how precious our time together is right now.
Until that time comes and I am force to bid farewell, I want to
celebrate Sals life with this piece.
86
The Day Virginia Tech Cried
87
This loss will change us, making us stronger despite this fall.
Within time our pain will ease.
Whether we ever know the truth or the lies in between.
We lost a child and that will hurt us all.
This pain we must share as a country, standing united one and
all.
Let us pray for their spirit that will never die,
Our kids deserve more, remembering their lives.
So this is a memorial for us to live by,
Remembering the day Virginia Tech Cried.
88
The Heavenly Walk
89
When I am asked,
At those Pearly Gates
What I like best?
90
The Wind of Change
Over the past year, I have felt as if I am on the verge of major life
changes. With simple rhyme, and easy flow I wanted to share with the
reader the excitement I feel about the change that is drawing so near.
Something I believe all of us can relate and enjoy.
91
This One Is for You
92
I remember a Christmas not too long ago.
How we played in the white Virginia snow.
Halloween was always a whole lot of fun,
And riding four wheelers and shooting guns.
93
To Love & Forgive
Is to say I am sorry
When I know I am wrong.
Is to take back my angry words,
And apologize for my wrong.
94
We cant change what we dont acknowledge.
Dr Phil
95
A few pennies can really go a long long way.
Making a big difference and giving hope in a big way!
Food and shelter are their immediate needs.
Then we will take the pennies and teach them to read.
96
What Dreams Are Made Of
Goals that keep the spirit high with education filling our hopes
And training the learning mind. Capturing ours wants,
Warning off our fears and challenging our demons
That we hide here and there!
Giving way to unconditional love that bears no boundaries.
Shows us courage when the rocky road is hard to fair.
Faith that never tires, Hope that never wears,
Honesty that bears fruit and will follow despite past ware.
Chorus
Can you see your dreams are they in your reach?
Just let your self-go and dont be afraid to meet,
Meet your destiny head on and dont be meek,
For time is of the essence, the right time is what we seek.
97
Chorus
98
Will You Be My Valentine?
99
So when my Valentine finally finds me.
I hope, I can remember, when I wanted this Dream!
Once all of the holidays make their way out of our life. The next
holiday Americans enjoy is Valentines Day. Each year the spring
begins with us looking for mates and courtship is in the air.
I find these traits enduring, beautiful, and we can share in the
meaning of finding that one person you want to grow old with. (Our
other half.) Each Valentine that passes I read this and know hope is
out there somewhere and hes on a white stallion, too!
