My One True Love

By: Cyndi Hard

I was at the end of my rope

Ready to jump

I couldn't take it anymore

I was about to give up

Kept looking for love in all the wrong places

I was sick of seeing the exact same faces

I thought for sure I'd be alone forever

Already accepted that I wouldn't have anything better

Then I met you, my life was changed

You made everything so perfect, even when it rained

You made my life worth living, instead of boring

You gave me a reason to get up in the morning

Almost cried when you said you'd marry me

Then your feelings changed so suddenly

I'm still not sure what went wrong

I do know that I'm nothing now that you're gone

Looking back there's so much I'd done differently

Like opening up and not taking myself so seriously

I miss being able to see your face

All I had to do was name a time and a place

You made me want to be a better person

Although, I felt at times I was a burden

You always had the best advice, said the right things

There's no way I can throw away my feelings

You were my all, my everything, my life

I will never say goodbye

I'm not sure what the future holds

But I hope it's you and me, together, growing old

There's no doubt about it, my heart beats for only you

I'm the only one who will love you through and through

Through anything and everything, I'll be here waiting

Waiting for you to bust down the door and save me

If I can't have you I'll be alone forever

Because no one will make me happy - no, not never

I hope you can see just how much you really mean

There's not enough paper in the world for me to truly express my feelings

I'll wait my whole life for you, if I have to

The truth is: I love you; And can't live without you

In speaking of a persons faults

pray don't forgot your own,

remember those with homes of glass

should never throw a stone.

If we have nothing else to do

then talk of those who sin

tis better we commence at home

and from that point begin.

we have no right to judge a man

till he's been fairly tried,

should we not like his company,

we know the world is wide

Some have faults and who has not

the old as well the young,

so, remember, the next time we begin

to slander friend or foe

Remember, curses sometimes like our chickens

roost at home.

IN THE MEAN-TIME

Imaging a world without loss and pain

Without the daily struggle the daily strain

Somedays I wake up so tired and sore

From the battles I fought the day before

Weeks go by without looking in the mirror

I don't want my eyes to show my fear

The scars from my past I'll someday reveal

In the Mean-Time I'll look for a band-aid to steal.

Brandon Edward Jepsen

There was an old man from Blackheath

Who sat on his set of false teeth

He said with a start

Oh lord bless my heart

I've bitten myself underneath.

Jumping, Jumping,

Jumping, Jumping,

Jumping, Jumping,

Jump

Off my bed,

I hit the floor,

And settle with a thump.

My mommy scolds me.

"That's not good.

That way, you should not play."

But listen so,

I do not though,

Much to her dismay.

Jumping, Jumping,

Jumping, Jumping,

Jumping, Jumping,

Jump

Off my bed,

I hit the floor,

This time, my head, I bump.

My mommy takes me in her arms

And turns me over so.

My bottom, she does give a swat,

My tears begin to flow.

But listen so,

This time, I know,

Still stinging on my rump.

No longer on my bed, I play

When I prefer to jump.

**written from a child's point of view

be

a survival

elevate your soul

over your loss and unspoken pain

its alright to fall some times as long as

you standtall on happyday with a smile again

What should I cry, in lines,

That I will not cry, in eyes?

Rather be daft, and laugh

At the amazing array,

Every day, of wafting

Words, driven in herds...

To the idolatry of poetry

Gods and Goddesses.

We must not forget the brave souls

That gave their all, that fateful day,

to save others from joining the prey,

There own lives they gave when

they said, "not us, we will not be

used in this way", and down brought

they, that plane that was meant to slay.
