Daily Prompt: Cherish

mywords2228

This time of year always reminds me to cherish the little things in my life and to appreciate  the time I get to spend with my family.

I cherish the moments with the ones I love more than maybe I did before because in a blink of an eye they can be gone and I don’t want to miss out.

I want to know that when they leave this earth that they were happy with all the times we spent together and lonely and sad that the ones that they ached for never came around.

I want to show them how much they mean to me and make their day for I love them so much and I want to spend so much time with them.

That nothing in this world is more important than them, for their love fills me up inside with so much happiness.

I cherish the ones who mean the most to me for one day they could be gone and I don’t want to regret not spending enough time with them.

Merry Christmas

mywords2228

everyone I hope you are enjoying your day wherever you are with the ones you love and hope you cherish all the moments you get to spend with them.

And remember that it’s not all about the presents but the time spent with your love ones and the birth of Jesus and how because of him we are in a better place if you believe.

This holiday always seems to bring the best out of some people and the worst out of others.

But, it’s a time where you just don’t want to give up on things for you want to believe it will all work out in the end.

For you want to enjoy the last minutes of this year before the new journey of 2018 comes your way.

What tore us

mywords2228

apart doesn’t seem to matter anymore as I’m drawn to you tonight.

You smile and I smile and all the things that hurt me and that hurt you are all in the past and now that time has healed those wounds.

Maybe now we can start something new and get to know each other all over again as we have both grown over the years.

Were not the kids we used to be and now talking just seems so much easier and we laugh about the things in the past that seemed like a big deal at the time.

You lean on me as I lean on you and we both realize that there was so much we had been missing out on in each other life. 

We both felt like we needed more out of the life we had and just needed someone new to help us push past the borders in our life. 

And move into a new space and see what life takes us outside of the box we had grown so comfortable in. 

You became so much more than I thought was possible in my life and everyday I made sure I spent time with you and didn’t want to take you for granted again. 

For I didn’t know if this would be my last chance with you but, I hoped that we would build a strong enough bridge to hold us together and that we would not ever have to worry about not being in each other lives. 

We made plans and follow through with them and we made sure we didn’t get lost in each other. 

But, that we helped each other reach a goal each day or week because we didn’t want to resent one another and we wanted to be the best at what we loved and to know that the fire that burns in both of us is still going strong. 

I believe in you and you believe in me and at the end of the day we will always have each others back until the day we die.

The beautiful purple sky reminded me of your beauty and I just couldn’t get you out my mind after taking multiply shots of the sky that day.

I have not ever seen the sky so purple it felt like a once in a lifetime thing and I just couldn’t believe I was lucky enough to witness it.

It was like the day I met you and we talked for hours and hours until we both realized we had to get some sleep and go home, I never forgot you even though you blew me off after that. I will always keep that memory with me of that night.

Memories of you!

Talking to you

mywords2228

always is worth the wait, I know we don’t talk as much anymore and I don’t know how you feel about that. 

But, life is throwing so much at both of us that the time when we could probably talk just doesn’t happen for we both end up just being too tired. 

So days have gone by and maybe even weeks and months and then one day it just seems like a good time to say hi and it always never seems like time has gone by. 

We just pick up where we left off and talk and talk until we have nothing left to say until next time when ever that may be. 

Time doesn’t really stop me from not caring and the feeling of not being there for you always doesn’t sit right with me but, I know that life is pulling us both in two different directions. 

SO it’s hard to but the certain that when something big happens you are always the first to know and even over tired you always seems to make just a little bit of time seem like hours. 

The memories and the moments yet to come are the things that I look forward too as this year comes to an end and a new one is yet to begin.

Lord I

mywords2228

hope that one day I can make you truly proud of who I am and who I have yet to become, as you guide me on this path.

I want to say thank you and that I am grateful for things that I have been blessed with and thank you for the things I didn’t think I needed in my life.

The hope that shines inside of me is so bright and even when evil blows my way the light inside of me blocks out the things that I don’t need to hear.

I hope I will always know what’s right and what’s wrong and the spirit inside me will guide me away from the things that I don’t need to touch and let into my life.

The hope that my kindness will get to someone and maybe they will think twice before they react a certain way to someone who means no harm to them.

The hope that not only will I become better but others that trust and love you will continue to do better as well.

Daily Prompt: Faint

mywords2228

The voices of the people I thought would stay in my life

for a long time became faint as I walk away that day.

I didn’t remember what they said to me but my heart still feels a little empty

from the piece of me they took that night.

They didn’t even see me walk away or even cared if I had showed up

but the words they said just hit me so hard I felt pieces of my heart fall away and the pain was so much I almost fainted.

But, some how I got the strength to turn around and walk out that door and go to a place that ended up saving me from not recover from that pain.

There had always been someone there for me that didn’t like the other people I hung out with but respected that I like them but, always warned me that one day things would come clear to me.

And the first thing you did that night wasn’t tell me you told me so but, that you would do anything to take this pain away and that trying to get revenge wasn’t worth it for karma always comes back around.

My heart is fully healed now and you are still by my side not only protecting me but the family we built together and maybe one day our kids will have a friend who stands up for them like you did for me that day.

Daily Prompt: Express

mywords2228

Please express how you feel before I walk out that door

I’ve waited for so long trying to have patience because I wanted to give you space.

But, in the end it didn’t even work out because now I just can’t stand by and have you sometimes show me how you feel and other times play it off like we’re just friends.

I don’t want to seem like the one making stuff up but, I’m not the only one seeing you this way.

So I’m putting my foot down and I’m letting you know how I feel and if you don’t want to share with me tonight.

Then lets just leave what happened before in the past and lets just be friends and that be the end of it.

For I don’t play games with those I care about and mean something to me.

Today may be the last time you get to see a certain side of me but, you had your chance and once I walk out that door the wall is back up and everything you saw before will be gone.

But, tomorrow I promise you that I will be your friend but, you need to now give me the time to get over what you’ve done.

And, when I come back don’t try to win me back as more than your friend for you’ve had your time and I won’t be made a fool twice.

I’d do anything for you

100 word Wednesday week 40

I would do anything for you, like make you breakfast on your days off

or do your errands for you so you can just relax a little bit longer.

I know you work so hard so that life could be so much easier for us and for that I would do any little thing just so you feel appreciated when you start to think why am I working so hard.

I’d do anything just to see that handsome smile on your face, to hear your laugh and be wrapped in your arms.

I’d do anything for you

Poetry

You were

mywords2228

the hope I was looking  for.

The peace I needed to wash over me

the smile that lifted up my spirit after a long day.

The arms that picked me up when I couldn’t go on anymore

The joke I needed to hear, so that I could laugh again.

The eraser I needed to erase all the things that didn’t matter anymore from my brain and my devices.

Your one of the reasons I have a new beginning and hope that everything will workout.

You’re the reason I’m still fighting this thing called life.

Living for me because you gave up your life for me, trying to do what’s right and praying that things will get better but that I will take something away from all that has happened to me.

I won’t give up for you are there for me now as you were there for me than.

I could

mywords2228

use your touch as the memories come to my mind

and the tears begin to fall.

Moving forward alone just doesn’t seem so possible right now

so hold me close and give me the comfort I need so much lately.

I want to get lost inside my thoughts but the truth and reality is too strong

I can’t pretend that everything is okay right now.

I know that I need to have the joy and love that will outweigh the sorrow I feel

so come to me and wrap me up inside your arms and hold me until I stand on my own.

And even then still hold my hand and guide me through the things I’m still not strong enough to deal with right now.

Daily Prompt: Mighty

mywords2228

My God is mighty all the time

But, on the days that I am going through the roughest storms.

He knows just what I need without me asking for anything at all.

I run to him the moment things turn bad but also when things are good.

Recently, the loss of my great grandma had me rushing to my God.

For I know I needed him more than ever as the tears washed down my face.

And he delivered his strength and comfort through the days to come.

Yes, there was sorrow in my heart and soul but he was there not ever letting me go.

I will be okay because of him and for that he is mighty for he will always love me and now my great grandma is spending time with him.

And, one day we will all be together again.

Protect

mywords2228

100 Word Wednesday: Week 36

We stand here to protect and serve, and sometimes our job is hard

Because some people don’t want to listen to us or some of us don’t do the right thing.

But, we here still trying our best to protect you and make sure nothing bad happens for that’s what we signed up for.

We could have choose anything as our career but we fell in love with what this job has to offer not just for us but for our family and friends.

We don’t just protect the one’s we love but, the ones that need protection more than they think they do.

The one’s that feel all alone and have no one to count on at the end of the day.

You stood

mywords2228

there looking at me with so much love something I hadn’t seen in a long time

the moment seemed like a fairytale.

Too good to be true or real, My heart beating so fast as you walked towards me and opened your arms.

And nothing I could do could stop myself from falling into those arms and feeling  like I was finally home.

You whisper in my ear to let it all out and just like that you were my strength as I became so vulnerable just then in your arms.

You carried me from the darkness and into the light as if I weighted nothing.

Without the baggage I left in the dark, life seemed much easier to take and breathe in as the day went on and spent sometime with you.

I didn’t know I had been waiting for this moment until this moment came along and slapped me in the face.
