Rebuilding This House

We let our house break
Only to resurrect it again
We rebuilt the walls that were caught in the fire~
Destroyed by the wrath of sin.

The house is charred and tattered
But our lives go on
We try to put the hard times behind us
But the fire left us vagabonds.

 They tell us to protect our home
By building the bond from within.
To do so- we must understand more-
Stop pointing fingers, and learn to begin again. 

We have to give the other,
The benefit of the doubt,
To never go beyond not talking~
We must try to work it out.  

To build a stronger house
We must keep other troubles at bay...
We must cherish each other and 
Be the best of friends, each day.

I know I hurt you
When I got involved with him..
It was never my intention ~
It's something I'd rescind.

To hurt you- was the last thing I wanted 
The last thing I wanted to do...
But my sorrys' don't  count for much now
They're all so overdue.  

 But I want you to know 
Is something without a doubt...
Is that I love you to the moon and back,
And if you let me, we'll work it out.

Facing Change by Changing Face

She decided she needed something different She decided to change something for real She always had hated her earlobes Her lips would never "seal the deal". Her tummy was now flabby And her arms now jiggled when she walked She wanted some quick fix that reflected a "new" girl Instead of the girl she got.  So she went to the cosmopolitan city And checked in at the spa And she had her looks evaluated They even checked out her ta ta's!  And when they finished up the exam An estimate they had comprised They told her to come back again,  Once she had gotten over her surprise.... Because the list was now quite long Longer than she suspected once before And she wondered how she had not known To much of her bitter horror! She went home and thought about it And cried a little too-  How could the people at the spa Let her leave with so much left to do?  Then she drove back to the city With all the money she had saved,  And asked for botox, l

Only Peaceful Days

No more swallowing my anger To be loved by you No more biting my tongue  To be supported by just a few. I tire of laying down hopelessly Waiting for the pain to go away I feel a different kind of pain Some people would say.  They say I'm over sensitive That explains what I feel They say I'm too serious,  That I'm spinning the roulette wheel.  They fail to recognize-The hate they spin With their cackling laughs I can hear what they say Behind my back, the wistful cracks, about my chubbiness, or the brains that I lack. And they do it to everyone Not just to me, they're heartless...deceiving, make you trust them, lie to your face, only to enthuse them..., What made them so mean? And I try to outrun them I try to leave But I have to spend holidays  they're my family. And I'm forced to spend it  If I want to be close to my mother And I feel so alone, even among all the others. And I lay in bed at night Trying to decide what to do- take all the pills in the bottle Or

You Were My Girls

Everyone's got to have their rock She was that someone for me She loved to spend her time sitting Shootin the breeze And always listening She would tell us that we were her girls She always felt that way She would make the time No matter what And chuckle as she'd say: You were your mom's, And you were my girls too- I've always felt that way! I've always  felt that way. She lost her mom age eighteen Her dad died at twenty eight- She lived a life of real hard times But it never controlled her fate! She would make the sweetest things In her special kitchen there Wanting to talk and share the small stuff With always such love and care And when times would get to be trying As they oftentimes could be She would raise her eyebrows and laugh Always looking for the good and the funny! And oh, I loved her so This sweet sweet grandmother of mine And I will always cherish time spent with her The days were warm n sunny and fine. She wo
