Hidden Love
4/17/97

I've shut the doors of my heart
Shut them to the truth
These are feelings hidden from even me
Someone pulled the doors open
And let a light seep in
This light showed me the truth
Yet I still have kept it hid
Someday, perhaps I'll let it show
Let it show that I love someone
Let it show that that someone is you
But for now until the time is right
I'll keep my love hidden away

Your Eyes
2/20/97

Everytime I look into your eyes
I see something new and exciting
There is a sparkle there
That I've never seen before
Your eyes tell me stories
Stories of your past and of your dreams
They show me how you feel
Each time I glance into your eyes
I get lost in seemingly endless sees of blue
Reality blends into dreams
I hope you understand how I feel
And after one quick glance into your eyes
I know you do
And perhaps you feel that way too

Without you
12/9/96
Dedicated to my "crush" at the time

Being without you
Is so hard for me to do
I think about you daily
I want to be near you
I want to feel your gentle touch
To see your sparkling eyes
The miles between us
Kill me inside
I count the days
Until I'll see you again
When you are not with me
All I can do is think about you
I miss you
And wish you were here
Because being without you
Is the hardest thing I have to do

A piece of my heart
12/96

On the day you left
A piece of me went with you
Why couldn't you go
And leave my heart with me?
I miss so much about you
I miss your smiling face
At night I dream about you
I dream we are in the same place
As our lives go on
We will either grow together or apart
No matter what, you will always have a piece of my heart

Please give me my heart
11/96

You took my heart
Without my consent
You stole it
While I was looking away
And all you do is break it
My life seems to have an empty space
A true love could fill the void
But you have taken my heart
And you keep stomping on it
The things you don't say
Hurt me worse than you'll ever know
If you want me to go away
Please give me the pieces of my heart
And allow me to have a new start
And if you want me near
All you have to do
Is show me you car
And quit breaking my heart

For the sake of my heart
11/96

Somewhere deep inside
I still care
Care how you are
Worry you are unhappy
And I want to see you again
But closer to the surface and the truth
I no longer care
You have hurt me
And I am protecting my heart
By seperating the depths of my soul and my actions
Maybe someday I will allow the two to connect
And allow you into my life again
But until then
You must understand
I have to keep those feelings locked deep inside
For the sake of my heart

Family

In memory with love
2/14/98
In loving memory of my Mamo (passed away on 2/9/98)

Understanding why you had to leave is something I'll never do
We had so many plans
There was so much we needed to do
There was so much for me to tell you
When I needed to talk, I turned to you
You were supposed to be at my wedding
And here to hold my children
I know you will be there in spirit
For you have moved on
You are living in a palace with the Lord
I understand it was time for you to go
And our loss was the Lord's gain
But I still cannot understand why you left
You left so many of us here and we all miss you
I know as I write these words you are looking down on me
And I know you are smiling
And I can smile too when I think of you as my Guardian Angel
On earth you loved cherubs and now you are among them
I love you very much and always will
Though we will always miss you, we are comfortd knowing you are with our Lord
But please help me understand why you had to leave

I miss you
4/15/98
Dedicated to Mamo

Everyday I struggle to grasp why you left us
I know you had to go
And you are where you must be
I also know that I will see you one day
But we all miss you deeply
Everyday we catch ourselves wanting to telephone you
Wanting to share something with you
Or needing to askyour advice
Then we realize a telephone can no longer connect us
But I know you are watching us
And I know you communnicate with us each day
Though it may be subtle you let us know you are there
And we know you will always be there and watching over us

Why did you go?
12/96
In loving memory of my Granddaddy (passed away 1/21/96)

Will I ever understand why you had to go?
I thought we would always be together
You were a true friend
I trusted you
I wanted you to see me as an adult
I had hopes you would be at my graduation and wedding
Now my children you will never see
I understand that it was your time
You were a great man
And God wanted you up in his heavenly land
Still I donźt truely understand why you had to go
There are many of us here who miss you
Though it has been nearly a year
I have never forgotten the day you died
I rest assured knowing you are with the Lord
I know you watch after me from above
You are my guardian angel
I have always loved you
Today nothing has changed
I just wish I understood why you had to go

To my mother with love
12/96
Dedicated to my Mommy: I love you Mom

Since the day I was born
You have cared for me
You have taken care of my every need
From changing my diapers as a baby
To being my best friend now
I have always looked up to you
And I still do
You are so strong
When you are faced with hardships
You handle them with grace
The way you relate to daughters is amazing
You have been where we are
And you understand
You give me constant support
If I need something
I can and will always turn to you
I hope that someday
I will be as good of a mother as you

To My Sister
1995
Dedicated to Jackie: Youźre the best little sister ever

The day I met you
I knew I would always love you
You were a precious little angel
You seemed so innocent and sweet
I knew there was so much I could teach you and give you
I knew I would always have someone there
To give me an honest opinion on all I do
To make me laugh and cry
To share all my strangest thoughts with
Someone to talk to late at night, when everyone else is asleep
As we have grown up, you have been all I wished for and more
You are the person I confide in
The person to whom I try to share my experiences with
The person who teaches me things I never knew
A person who I can respect
Someone who laughs when I am being strange
Someone who supports me in all I do
You are a great friend and sister
You are all I dreamed you would be
I know that my sister must be at the top of the list of all time great sisters
As I look towards the future
I know we will move farther apart, but we will always remain close
We will always be together to mend each other's broken hearts
And share our secrets and our dreams
For we share a bond that ties us together for eternity
The bond of sisterly love

Friends

To Crystal
12/96
Dedicated to Crystal: Best friends forever

We have been through so much together
I can remember your swimming lessons
And I'm sure you remember mine
We have gone through so many crushes
And broken hearts
We've told each other everything
We told each other about our first jobs
You've supported me
And I've supported you
In all of the trials we have had
Through small fights over silly things
We never lost our friendship
Over the years we have grown very close
Though there are many miles between us
I still feel like you are here with me
I think of you as more than a friend
You are a sister to me
I will always be here for you
And you there for me
I know we will be there to see each other marry
And hopefully to hold each other's baby
As we grow old
We will look back on our youth
And recall how two strangers became as close as sisters
I will be eternally thankful for you and your friendship

For a Great Friend with Love
10/96
Dedicated to David: You are like a brother to me!

When I think about you
I just have to smile
You were a true friend
You were always there to listen and to care

We've grown very close over the years
You've been with me through it all
We've cried together
And laughed until it hurt

We told each other everything
We knew who each other liked
We even knew each other's innermost thoughts
You were my confidant and I was yours

You are no longer here
College has called
And you have gone
I am still here with my friends

I miss you deeply
I miss our late night visits
I miss all of our inside jokes
I miss bumping into you wherever I go

I know we will always stay in touch
But it will never be the same
For I will hardly ever see you
Still I will always remember you

I'm glad we became friends
And pray we stay that way
I will always be here for you
And you will always be there for me

You have changed my life
I will never forget you
Nor will I ever be the same
I hope someday our lives will meet again

I have found a great friend in you
I will always be thankful for the time we had together
You have earned a special place in my heart
I love you and always will

My World
1995

The world is ever changing
Once we all were safe
Children were allowed to walk alone
No one locked their doors
It is still like that in my world

My world is a place where anyone may go
It is a private beach in my mind
You never hear of murders or any other crime
The water is still so very blue
The sky is too

There is no such thing as a prison
No pollution clouds up my land
The people that live there are all so very sweet
There are no worries about looks
Everyone is happy with how they are

My world is a place that is so beautiful for all that enter
Once you arrive you immediately see how peaceful it is
No animals or people fear for their lives
Food is plentiful
You don't see starving children when you turn on the TV
We don't have trials, for there is no crime

If my world were real, it would be the best place
Everyone would be friends and all would be safe
If only the real world were like my little world
Life would be so grand!

It was just a dream
1995

I was trapped
The air was tight
It seemed there was no room
Over in one corner there was a fight
Is there no way out of this tomb?
Then a dreaded bomb was dropped
Cries of shear terror rang out through the room
People were scrambling about
Is there a window in this small room?
Suddenly out of nowhere a window appeared
People shoved to get to it
The window was shattered
People began to crawl out
Those who got out began to relax
They were safe
Inside the world shook again
Walls began to collapse
The window was gone again
And I was trapped
A few final cries rang out
Then the last wall collapsed
Then a high-piercing alarm went off
I awoke with a start
I was trembling all over
After a few minutes I realized it was just a dream
Just a horrifying dream
For reassurance I looked out the window
I noticed a long narrow crack in the street
It was just a dream
Wasn't it?

Inside
1993

Inside of me there is a hidden sould
A soul full of pain, grief, and memory
The soul is full of cheer, love, and friendliness

Pain in this soul is of death
Death of people I knew or felt I knew
Death of loved animals
Animals I felt were my brothers and sisters

Grief in this soul is of things I never got done
Grief of things I should have done
Grief of knowing if I would have done it,
It may have changed something

Memory in this soul is of good and bad things
People I'll never see again
Times I has with people and animals that are not here with me now
Love and being loved
Injuries and soreness

The cheer in this soul is of friends and family
Friends I met and the things we had in common
Family and the fun we share

Love is a number of things
Love I gave away
Love that was given to me
Love I wish I had

The friendliness in this soul is friends
I share my talents with other
Friendliness is understanding
