Memories last
to give us space to remember
those gone from this place.
Holding close, holding long
remembering all the snuggles, caresses
Thru the night so long.
Heartache cries missing those loved
now my heart’s alone
a empty place.
I can’t, won’t forget
your loving soul’s a memory
all that I have left.

❤️ Rest in peace sweet Jake ❤️
Don’t know what
Will become
Of
The life I live.
Will I succumb
To
The world around me
Accept
At all that it offers
All that I need?
I don’t know
What’s to be
But
I do know I can make it
Wonderful, great, most of all
Happy.

Go for gold
Don’t look back
The future is yours
Even if
You go off track.
The way is there
Briars may disrupt your way
You could get stuck
But
Know help is coming
It’s on his way.
Don’t look back
Don’t regret and cry
It happened
You made it here
You survived.

No matter what happens to me
the world will turn on into its destiny
flowers will bloom, bees be busy
nothing matters except the going
the moving from what has
to what will be.
Save your breath for breathing
your words to speak adoration
of the heaven that has given all
just for you
asking nothing in return
only wanting to be.

Closely, slowly
I come to you
I feel your breath
Breathing
Breathing on me
All around
you.
I see your eyes looking
Past me
Looking to a future
With
Or
Without me?
I can’t answer
This question
For
You.
I can only answer
I want
Need
To spend
The rest of my life
In this world
With you.

The choice is yours
The time is right
Don’t hesitate
Make yourself extremely clear
If it’s wrong
Or
If it’s right
Makes no difference
It’s yours today, tonight.

You call me, you call me loud
I hear it echoing
echoing thru the clouds.
What is it you want?
What has made you call?
I’ll answer in a minute
I’ll answer all.
But now I’m busy
Busy
Making
My own call.

Nobody does
Nobody will
Change the world
Alone.
Still
That’s how
It starts
That’s what will.
Change the world
A change
Nobody can
But
Everybody
Will.

I’m thinking, thinking
Things to do
Things I’ve done
And
Those accomplished
By me
For
You.
Some weren’t very big
Had no idea was to do
Then
There were others
Huge
On the scale of all things
Remembered
Lasting into the next millennia
Next spring.
I’m thinking, thinking
I really don’t have to do
Anything
Cause things happen
I’m thinking
Things happen
No matter
What I think I should do.

Not this morning
not today
will I be a victim
of
Yesterday
