I’m in

mywords2228

my moment because of you and I don’t know what the plan I feel that is coming is.

But, I’m ready to give it all up and move forward for the life that feels like floating on air.

The life that feels like a nice breeze blowing through you air, the sun shinning down on you as you lean your head back.

The feeling when you’re so hot that when the first rain drop hits your forehead you just sigh with relief that the heat wave is over in this moment as you let the rain pour down on you.

The moment when the cold morning air is welcoming as you wake up as you walk out the door and welcome the winter in hopes spring will come soon.

You realize that the moment that you will overcome the struggle is near and you can feel it as you make big changes in your life.

You know that you are fully embracing all that you are and there is not  a moment you want to forget of deny.

You are in your moment and the feeling is so amazing that words really can’t describe how good you feel as you are filled with so much love and confident that you could ever want or need.

For this is your moment and no one can take that a way from you and your mind will replay it over and over until you do better next time.

I

mywords2228

want the peace to wash over me right now as the stress takes over.

Wreaking everything around me and ripping me apart little by little each day and moment that it’s around.

I don’t want to feel as if I’m not at the top of my game but, at the same time I won’t allow myself to fall apart because of other people choices in life.

I won’t reflect on the things that you decide is not important to you because we were raised different and I feel bad when I drop the ball and let people down when there is little help to begin with.

I won’t stand by feeling sad for you when all the lies you have told catches up to you and I will not be the one handling you case either.

I will not be apart of any of it as you talk on with no responds from me and in the end I will know all my hard work paid off and what you have learned from this lesson will not be my concern.

I will not become hard because of the difficult moments I’ve faced because of others for I was and am strong enough to handle them for now.

I listen to my God who has always has my back and is not two-faced and trust I do not take for grated and one I trust with my life and will always have my back.

One day the peace I once felt will last more than two days but a lifetime and when that day comes I will truly smile and enjoy my life.

I know

mywords2228

you want me to go far and just when I feel I can’t do what I used to do you tell me

your strength will come back and you will be better than before.

And don’t you doubt yourself for you are great and the moment you realize that the better.

There is no time to be wasted for while you have already wasted so much and it’s time to take that second chance and run with it my dear.

You  are one with yourself if you just knock down that wall and open that curtain and let the light back inside.

You are strong and you are beautiful and your words matter more than you could ever know.

Open up and don’t hide away no matter how bad things get because this year, this moment is yours and if you keep letting them slip by I don’t know if you will ever be open enough to keep looking and believing in me.

So starting tomorrow don’t be afraid to get up and do what you know needs to be done and in the long run things will pay off and you will be strong enough to say no to the temptation that will come your way.

No time to be distracted and down, Smile and shine until you believe you can do the impossible because I will always be here pushing the way for you.

You always

told me to wish upon a star and everything I ever wanted would come true.

Being with you was all I ever wished for.

As I stand here among the big star and the blue lights and stars on the tree.

All I can think about is the time I had with you because of those stars I had wished on every night that we spent laying outside on our blanket.

Just looking at the stars and not ever really saying much to each other for we didn’t have to speak to know what we had and what these nights meant to us.

Tonight you are missed but, I know soon we will spend more nights staring at the stars and knowing that sometimes wishes do come true.

Holidays

Come and go

but the love that one feels for their family and friends stays burning all year-long.

The rooms are full of laughter and happiness and new memories are being formed to carry on to the new year.

In hopes that the new year will give them more chances to reconnect and learn more about each other as the time goes on.

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.

I’m

mywords2228

going to make you see the real me.

For I don’t want you to miss out on anything that makes me who I am.

I know the days are long and I’m not around as much as you want me to be.

But, don’t think twice that I’m not fighting to keep you around and for us to be on the same page.

You are my sun that wakes me up in the morning and the light that always makes me smile.

I am at one and at peace when I am with you or just thinking of you.

I know that there were missing pieces from my life before you but, now I am not alone in my head or in my heart.

For you I embrace the little darkness I have to face just to get a chance to see you my light, my hope, my truth.

Just

mywords2228

when I thought I knew it all you showed me a new way to look at life.

You showed me that even when those around you aren’t giving their all doesn’t mean you should too.

To keep going strong even when you just want to give up so badly.

You helped me to smile again and to enjoy the little things at the end of the day.

I wish

mywords2228

that more days could be filled with Joy and happiness.

That people could help one another more than the little time they can afford to give up. 

That we wouldn’t forget the things that come before and after. 

That we would cherish the things and time we have together for so much is happening.

I wish that somethings would become less important the most important thing would be family and all the things that are  too much would leave those that can’t handle it alone.

    Traveling

    is all I wanted to do this year as I knew I had to get to you and see you for the holidays.

    Nothing can stop me from getting to you this year not even these leaves I’m about to drive through with my new red car as I make my way on the back roads this year. 

    I know that I must take my time but, don’t worry I will make it in time for Thanksgiving dinner and to hug you later when our stomachs are full and her hearts are just as full too. 

    Today means so much to me and I just didn’t know how much until I walked through that door and saw you sitting there with the biggest smile I ever saw on your face. 

    Seeing you and hugging you was the greatest moment of my day and then came the food but, it’s you I will remember when I look back on the memories we made today.

    how you capture me tonight 

    like magic that seems to not ever end. 

    You travel to so many hearts and lives 

    I wonder do you ever just get tired. 

    You share with so many and some experiences last a lifetime 

    where others only last a season or less. 

    Do you cry for the love that does not work out or do you hope that one day things will turn around for the couple. 

    Oh love as I hold you in my hands tonight I can’t stop but smile and enjoy this time I have with you. 

    I wonder if I will learn anything new from you tonight or will I unlock the secrets that were always deep inside of me.

    Thinking

    of you on this cold morning as I stand here 

    my mind is full of sorrow of the times we had together and now there over. 

    I know when I leave this spot and go back to the house we both used to call home 

    you will be gone and the home I loved coming back to everyday will be empty and lonely.

    I know that I have to leave this spot but I just can’t face what will come once I leave and so I stand out here just a little longer and hope maybe things will be different. 

    If I come up with the right plan just maybe things will workout for us and this moment will just be temporary. 

    I know that I am the key to your happiness and you are the key to mine when it comes to our love. 

    I know this is the real thing and you are it for me so Our home my be just me for now but, soon you will be back and things will be better than before and I hope we stick this time and handle things differently from now on.

    I thought

    mywords2228

    I was clever as I said those words to you.

    I thought I knew what was needed to be said but, you prove me wrong and I’ll never forget that smile on your face.

    All the small things from you became all the things that mattered.

    Your sweetness was something I started to crave and I realized how lucky I was that day. 

    You were truly special and different in your way and everyone else that came to play.

    Didn’t have a chance to catch up to the strength and understanding you had.

    You opened my heart and fixed all the pieces that were damaged and you opened your arms. 

    And you never let me go even though sometimes I tried with all my might to push you away.

    You never truly let me go even when I broke away one day.

    For every time I looked around there you were and I could not ignore how I felt.

    Sunrise

    You are my sunrise, you light up my life in the morning and make every day a special occasion.

    You are bright and some days you are different then the day before and even though your moods change I still love you so.

    Your beautiful and amazing and even though some times I have to close my eyes when I first see you in the morning.

    I know watching for the time that you are up and about is worth the little bit of sleep I missing out on.

    My days with you are always days full of smiles and joy and laughter is never far behind either.

    Days with you are the days I live for now and forever more.
