  EACH TIME YOU LEAVE  Each time you leave me I grow stronger. I learn to abide the nights once eerily long, daybreak holding back until I can no longer stand the darkness, now a warm cocoon of dreams held gently in a bed that doesn't creak and bow to nightmares of your world. I chose the meals, the music, the length and breadth of traveling into the canyons to hear the silence of my own heart. And when you return, the rightness of things goes all topsy and turvy until I can make the necessary adjustments: of saying yes, when I mean maybe, maybe when I mean no. Each time you leave, my protest of your absence grows less strident. "I miss you" is less real. For each time you leave, you leave me -- expanding into who I am becoming without you. Copyright © Laura Landau December, 2001 travelwomanla@aol.com LOST LOVE Everyday she thinks back, The wonderful way he caressed her face. The caring look in his eyes, the way he smiled, It took her breath away. One day he was hers, The next day he was gone. In an instant she lost so much, His last breath lingered in her memory. So many tears, she cries, As he watches her from above. If she only knew he was looking. If she could only feel his touch. One more time, that's all she wants. Finally that day arrived. She fell into his arms again. She felt his sweet caress and it took her breath away. Copyright © IBeMeghz@aol.com DREAMS The rain softly was coming down Dark clouds hung overhead It was a gloomy, sad sort of day But inside of me the sun was shinning brightly Wandering thoughts of someone so dear One who has such beauty I want to hold Often dreaming of making smile and laugh Long talks of this and that and everything else Laughing and crying we share so much My heart aches when you are sad When melancholy strikes think of our friendship Like a seedling it can only grow stronger each day Hoping and dreaming that you will smile And open your heart just a little Once you do the sun will shine for you as well © IRBT1@aol.com, July, 1999 THE RARE MOON FLOWER Sora le Cron Next to my home in the Caribbean, I sat on my candlelit patio Listening to the warm, quiet ocean, While sipping my sweet hot cocoa. Then I felt a chill in the air. I searched, feeling a little sour. What was it that caused that feeling? And then I saw a blooming Moon Flower. No one could see it but a lucky few, That flower so immortal, heavenly, pure, As white as the moon, as shy as a child, Yet as proud as a woman in rabbit fur. I stared at the flower in silence. I was full of mystery and pride. Then I wept tears of sorrow As the rare flower withered and died. I watched as it withered and died. © Jean Chapin, 1999 jchapin@pps.k12.or.us WISHES If dragons could make wishes come true Only these wishes I would wish for you. Happiness, health, a bountiful life, free of all worries, free of all strife. Knowing dragon cannot make them come true, I wish from my heart all the best for you. Life, love, happiness and more, for the rewards you have given I have lost score. Thank you for being a friend.. being there and knowing when.. to hold me close and say "it's all right, things will be better at mornings light." Dragons cannot make wishes come tree.. So my heart wishes all these things for you... © Jazzu_2@yahoo.com  EACH DAY Each day brings new beginnings, Don't let your life drift by, Visit friends, who share your thoughts, And hold your head up high Wear a smile upon your lips, Carry love within your heart, You'll make it in the outside world, All you have to do is start. Make some plans, set your goals, Don't waste another minute, Just use that hidden inner strength, You'll see - the sky's your limit. Move on ahead and don't look back, Your strength will grow each day, You'll find that peace within your mind, You thought you lost one dismal day. - Auihor Unknown -  I'M STILL HERE Mom, please don't mourn for me I'm still here, though you don't see. I'm right by your side each night and day and within your heart I long to stay. My body is gone but I'm always near. I'm everything you feel, see or hear. My spirit is free, but I'll never depart As long as you keep me alive in your heart. I'll never wander out of your sight- I'm the brightest star on a summer night. I'll never be beyond your reach - I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach. I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around And the pure white snow that blankets the ground. I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond, The clear cool water in a quiet pond. I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring, The first warm raindrop that April will bring. I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine, And you'll see that the face in the moon is mine. When you start thinking there's no one to love you, You can talk to me through the Lord above you. I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees, And you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze. I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep And the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep. I'm the smile you see on a baby's face. Just look for me, mom, I'm everyplace! - Author Unknown -  WHAT I AM NOT SAYING Please ... hear what I'm not saying Don't be fooled by me, Don't be fooled by the face I wear. For I wear a mask, I wear a thousand masks, Masks that I'm afraid to take off, And none of them are mine. Pretending is an art that's second nature with me; But don't be fooled, for God's sake don't be fooled! I give you the impression that I'm secure, That all is sunny and unruffled in me, Within as well as without, That confidence is my name and coolness is my game, That the water's calm and I'm in command, And that I need no one, But don't believe me. My surface may seem smooth but my surface is my mask, My ever-varying and ever-concealing mask. Beneath lies no smugness, no complacence. Beneath dwells the real me, in confusion, in fear, in aloneness. But I hide this. I panic at the thought of my weakness and fear being exposed. That's why I frantically create a mask to hide behind, A nonchalant, sophisticated facade, to help me pretend, To shield me from the glance that knows. But such a glance is precisely my salvation. That is, if it's followed by acceptance, If it's followed by love, It's the only thing that can liberate me from my self. From my own self-built prison walls, From the barriers that I so painstakingly erect. It's the only thing that will assure me of what I can't assure myself..That I'm really worth something... But I don't tell you this, I don't dare...I'm afraid to. I'm afraid your glance will not be followed by acceptance and love. I'm afraid you'll think less of me, that you'll laugh... And your laugh will kill me. I'm afraid that deep down I'm nothing, that I'm just no good, And that you will see this and reject me. So, I play my game, my desperate pretending game, And my life becomes a front. I dislike the superficial game I'm playing, the superficial, phony game. I'd really like to be genuine and spontaneous, and me, But you've got to help me. You've got to hold out your hand... Even when that's the last thing I seem to want or need. Only you can wipe away from my eyes the blank stare of the breathing dead... Only you can call me into aliveness... Each time you are kind and gentle, and encouraging, Each time you try to understand because you really care, My heart begins to grow wings, Very small wings, very feeble wings, but wings. With your sensitivity and sympathy, and your power of understanding, You can breathe life into me. I want you to know that. I want you to know how important you are to me. How you can be a creator of the person that is in me, if you choose too... It will not be easy for you. A long conviction of worthlessness builds strong walls. The nearer you approach me, the blinder I may strike back; It's irrational but despite what the books say about man, I am irrational!!! I fight against the very thing that I cry out for. But I am told that love is stronger than strong walls and in this lies my hope.My only hope. Please try to beat down those walls with firm hands, But with gentle hands--for a child is very sensitive. Who am I, you may wonder? I'm someone you know very well... For I am every man or woman you meet. - Author Unknown - AN ANGEL'S PLEA Mama, mama, please don't cry. I'm in heaven, looking down. I watch you day and night. I watch you smile. I watch you cry. We'll be together again one day. But in your heart, I'm with you always. Mama, mama, please don't cry. You loved me then. You love me now. You played with me when I felt sick. You read me stories and taught me to pray. You held me when monsters entered my dreams. Mama, I am safe in heaven now. Mama, mama, please don't cry. I loved you then. I love more now. - Author Unknown - I ONCE TOLD ... I once told a man that I no longer voted. He responded by telling me this. The choice of whether I voted or not was why he waded through rice paddies, toted guns, and fought battles. It wasn't long afterward that I began to vote again. I once told a man a lie. He responded by telling me this. All of the decisions that he made were based upon the words that I spoke. I have long since told the truth. I once became upset over a gift I received, because it wasn't what I wanted. The giver saw the disappointment in my eyes and told me this. He chose the most valuable gift he could find, because he felt I should have it. I am since very joyful over each gift that I receive. A man once told me a secret which I quietly whispered in another friend's ear. The man told me this, after hearing his own secret repeated. The reason he told me the secret was because he trusted me, not my friend. I no longer take trust so lightly. I once gave a gift to a friend and she cried. I told her it was just a small gift I had found. Her response was that it was not the gift, it was that I had thought of her. I now give gifts often. The shiny coin was not to be mine, so I had been told. But on my way out the door, it found its way in my hand. When it was discovered that I had stolen the coin, I was quietly taken aside. The owner of the coin told me this. Integrity is given with a choice. I have since chosen to stand with integrity. Once I told a man of all of my dreams. He smiled warmly and even chuckled then asked if I ever planned on living any of them. I now choose the spending of my days very differently. - Author Unknown - I AM THE CENTER OF MY UNIVERSE but I do not live here alone. each move I make creates a ripple in someone else's ocean each breath I take affects the air all around me each word I utter falls on someone else's ears that which I touch is felt by another that which I do will certainly affect another that which I do not, will also affect another we never know how far reaching something we say or do really is until it returns to us ... and it always does All things in life form a circle whether we see the circle or not - Author Unknown -  DON'T LOOK BACK As you travel through life there are always those times when decisions just have to be made when the choices are hard, and solutions seem scarce and the rain seems to soak your parade! There are some situations where all you can do is to simply let go and move on gather courage together and choose a direction that carries you toward a new dawn. So pack up your troubles and take a step forward, the process of change can be tough but think about all the excitement ahead if you can be stalwart enough! There could be adventures you never imagined just waiting around the next bend and wishes and dreams just about to come true in ways you can't yet comprehend! Perhaps you'll find friendships that spring from new interests as you challenge your status quo and learn there are so many options in life, and so many ways you can grow. Perhaps you'll go places you never expected and see things that you've never seen or travel to fabulous, faraway worlds and wonderful spots in between. Perhaps you'll find warmth and affection and caring- a "somebody special" who's there to help you stayed centered and listen with interest to stories and feelings you share. Perhaps you'll find comfort In knowing your friends are supportive of all that you do and believe that whatever decisions you make, they'll be the right choices for you! So keep putting one foot in front of the other and taking your life day by day. - Author Unknown - MY CUP HAS OVERFLOWED I've never made a fortune, and I'll never make one now, But it really doesn't matter 'cause I'm happy anyhow. As I go along my journey I'm reaping better than I've showed. I'm drinking from the saucer 'Cause my cup has overflowed. I don't have a lot of riches, And sometimes the going's tough But with kin and friends to love me I think I'm rich enough. I thank God to the blessings That His mercy has bestowed. I'm drinking from the saucer 'Cause my cup has overflowed. He gives me strength and courage When the way grows steep and rough, I'll not ask for other blessings for I'm already blessed enough. May we never be too busy To help bear another load. Then we'll all be drinking from the saucer When our cups have overflowed.
