Three Years Ago Tomorrow

Three years ago tomorrow,
Monty died today.
I Feel the sadness and the pain
Just like it was yesterday.

He stayed with us a little longer
Not for himself, but to help make us stronger,
To be able to accept that final day.
Three years ago tomorrow,
When Monty died today.

To cherish and remember
All that was good and dear.
About Monty,
who three years ago tomorrow
Died today.

The last day of February,
The 29th to be exact
Which tomorrow isn’t there
So, three years ago tomorrow,
Monty died today.

Hearts Aflame

Thunder crashes hearts aflame in anger
Love
All things no one can blame
No answers right
Nor all wrong found tonight
Only thoughts a hunger for those
Roaming a tortured mind
Late in this cold, dark night.

Cold And White

Cold and white
Blowing blizzard on this night.

Blaze aflame with no aim
To be the one who warms your heart
Frozen by drifting, deadly white.

Hurt

This is what I say…

 

 

 

“No way
No way can hurt
Hurt me today.”

Sitting Down To Write

Sitting down to write my life
Hear it flow from start
Thru heartache, pressures
And some strife
Coming out full of joy
Learning, seeing warmth glow
Radiating with sweet love.

Can this, could this be my life?

Destiny

Anchors surrounding me
Pulling down
Into depths of destiny
Weighed by happenings
I have no way of breaking free
Destiny
Destiny is pulling me.
