Another Poem

I wrote this one about 6 years ago I think....hope you like :-)


With You

Baby I'm just overwhelmed, there's just so much to do
I feel like I don't have time to be alone with you
There's always other people, other things we need to do
I need to find some EXTRA time, to be alone with you
I think I'll always wonder, how we've ended up so well
I LOVE YOU very deeply, and you love me, I can tell
You fill my heart with happiness, I'm so complete with you
I might could spend my life alone,
Just all alone
WITH YOU.

Lost and Found

The last few months for me have been at the very least, a whirlwind. I met my wonderful boyfriend, and have enjoyed every minute I’ve shared with him, my mom and I decided we are going to Ireland in October, and numerous other things that have happened to make it just one big…well…mess I guess. Most of the things that have happened in the last couple of weeks will be left unsaid, but note the fact that I felt lost within my own life. I was scared, excited, bummed out, happy, grateful, thankful, and reluctant all at the same time. The only person really holding me together was Cletus. If it weren’t for him, I don’t know where I would be right now. I’ve started going to church again, and that’s where the ‘Found’ comes into play. I hadn’t been to church, except for a couple of times with Zach in high school, for probably at least 10 years. It was somewhat unnerving being in a church for something other than a family members or friends wedding, but I’ve gotten comfortable with it. I’ve also realized that there were 2 things missing in my life, and I’ve found them both…Last night, I did something I haven’t done in a long time…

Support Pimpin

I was on my way to the bank yesterday when I saw something that totally rubbed me the wrong way. I'm all about supporting our troops in Iraq, and everywhere else they are. I am very thankful that there are people in this country willing to die so I and my family can be happy. I even have a few of those ribbon magnets. One is green camouflauge colored, and I have a couple of yellow ones that have a SeaBee in the middle, but they all say "Support Our Troops". My sister was in the Navy, and her husband still is. I don't have them on my car because one got stolen. Now, here's where my gripe comes in...those magnets (if I'm not mistaken) were created for the troops originally. So when I saw this one on the car in front of me yesterday, I wanted to get out of my car and give the driver an earful. "Support Pimpin" on a ribbon magnet???? Come on. There are people dying so this dummy can be a smart ass...I guess I just don't see the humor. Oh well, that's my gripe.
