tree that we wrote our love on will stand there maybe longer than we can appreciate the little moments we have together.

We will most like forget where we found that tree  but, hopefully we will not forget that day and how much we still love each other even on our worst days.

I know the tree was not just representing our love but the love that came before us and the love that is yet to come.

This tree represents so much love and peace and hope that so many more will enjoy it too.

WINTER

Storm here you come to make an already cold day colder and wetter than before, I don’t know if you care but we don’t want this storm or need it either.

We hope it just quickly ends and we can move on to spring for we got the cold weather and have got through those days.

Now we don’t want to think about snow and how much it may cost us in the long haul, all I want to do is not worry about the things I can’t control but for now I will just do what needs to be done and go out into the storm.

So

many signs telling you what is coming up ahead and what to watch out for but, instead of looking and reading those signs.

You decide to deface them and treat them as if they are your canvas to make your art on and in hopes that they will take them down and let you do your own thing.

You don’t want to be caution, you just want to go through everything at your own speed with no care for what everyone else has to say at this point forward.

Riding

my bicycle through the streets with all ages of children and adults as we show off our Christmas spirits.

We are brave and we are happy to give up and commit to something that is more about someone else and for the first time not about us.

We are united as one as we ride and ride until the end of the ride comes and everyone gets a drinks and snacks until we are ready  to go home and take a rest for we worked  so hard today.

Christmas

is almost here and these little moments of us decorating the tree and the house well feels like it’s been a long time.

Since we’ve just sat down and talked to one another about the little and big things going on in our life.

It makes me realize how much we have been taking the time we have together for granted and now it’s time to start building our love and bound back up to where it used to be so strong and beautiful the love between a parent and child.

Only

You can fill this empty space I’ve had since I could remember

at first I thought it could be filled by worldly things but nothing kept that space filled.

Until one day I knew not what to do next with the life I had made for myself from the choices I had made on my own.

So I gave my life to the lord and I was saved and everything I did or listened to felt heighten and the empty space inside of me that only he could fill was filled and overflowing.

100 Word Wednesday: Week 95

Photo by NeONBRAND

We were so much alive with so much energy to go around.

We didn’t mind sharing our time with those that we love and care about.

We didn’t have a moment when we didn’t have anything to say to one another for we really just enjoyed spending time together.

For this time of year was our favorite time of year and we just had to decorate and show our spooky spirit done to just the bones.

The lights casted creepy scary shadows all night long no matter where you looked they would turn their heads and watch your every movement.

Childhood you were left in the past for I didn’t need to hold you anymore when my days were hard and I just couldn’t understand how cruel people could be. 

I knew that the day would come when I could hand this all without the comfort you provided for me. 

It was time for me to be a big kid and let go of my childhood toys and embrace the new things the world had to offer me for these toys were farther more durable than you ever were to me.

100 WORD WEDNESDAY WEEK 93

 on that instead of learning we are trashing the place where we can take ourselves to a place where we can expand our minds and find ourselves. 

To step out of our little bubble of comfort and meet new people and express ourselves more without worrying about much. 

Though there is still those that rather ruin the good things because being bad is fun and in a way they are taking back control and listening to no one for they are who you fear now.

from the coldness of the blood color water I stretch out my hands in hope that someone will see me and will come and help me.

But, the water is getting colder by the minute and I don’t know how much longer I can wait for someone to come. 

Today wasn’t suppose to be like this but, I decided to go to beach to see the rare sight of red water and red sky it was supposed to be a great experience and not end with me overboard and alone.

is my time to just not worry about anything and just sip on my cocoa and write down all my thoughts of my day. 

Charging my phone as I wait for replies for my plans for later this day, I really do enjoy this quite moments I get for there seems to always be noise around me. 

I just need a moment to refocus on what I need to get done for things are happening all around me and it just seems to becoming too much and coming at me so fast.

Under the sea

where  colorful fish swim and people on vacation like to explore and see so many beautiful things.

They begin to forget about their troubles and focus on the things that are small and they don’t think much about.

For the ocean will always be there and the can come and visit when they have the time and the things above the world just distract them for just have a moment to take it the wonders and new things that appear in the ocean over night.

so smile and enjoy it.

Time

Time goes by fast sometimes but, as a child I loved to read and learn new words in each page that I turned. 

Reading wasn’t something I loved to do but, not you can’t find without a book or kindle or phone in my hand reading something. 

I am old now but, my adventures are not over as I travel between each page that I read and I am lost to the world when I read. 

I love to lose myself and am very grateful for the time I have to read.

Sometimes you have to let people go and walk away from them when the pain is too much to keep dealing  with. 

Staying  is just not an option anymore and so you cry and feel the pain and you walk away knowing that these wounds will heal.

It might take longer than you thought to get back up on your feet but, there is hope that things will improve just give yourself the time to heal.

Don’t try to jump back into everything so quickly this time so you will see the signs earlier on.

some place that is new to me and you

for our time is limited on this vacation

and I know that you want to get in as much scenery as possible.

We go to North shore first and work our way to the other places before it gets too dark and we have to turn around.

You already made sure we both had on the right shoes so that we can make it through the walk too and on our way down.

It’s hot out but, with our hats we will be fine.
