You, daughter, and I are apart
By physical distance.
By directions of the heart.
By life’s circumstance.
By twists and turns
Caused by poor choices made;
By hard lessons not learned;
By words said and unsaid.
Yet in my heart, mind and soul,
You dwell with me.
Everywhere I go,
You’re with me constantly.
No matter how far apart we may roam
In my heart you’ll always have a home.
Driving with your lights/
off during dark daytime storms/
doesn’t save power.
Snow on the mountains/
fell really early this year./
Skiers are happy!
The waiting I end /
up hating most is one I/
can do nichts about.
Ev’ryone should have/
the chance to spend their birthday/
alone at least once.
What you think may not/
be the truth, but since you won’t/
discuss, you won’t learn.
Sometimes all you can/
do is wait, pray, hope, have faith,/
and do all you can.
Grey storm clouds gathered/
oe’r my head. Still, I looked up,/
and saw eagles soar.
Once you’ve broken trust,/
forget about earning it/
back. It is too hard.
Or
It’s too scary
Or
Once you’ve broken trust,/
don’t think you can just win it
back. It’s too scary.
There is something wrong/
with a homeless man texting/
to find his next meal.
