She dreams of days, when she can fly
Without ever really questioning why
Days where life, decides to play
And things, forever, go her way

She dreams of love, eternal, true
Hoping one day, he’ll be you
Her hand against the window shade
Thoughts and visions, heavily weighed

She dreams of all, such wondrous things
The kind to make her whole heart sing
My beautiful, daughter, so full of love
My beautiful blessing from Heaven above

May all your dreams come true!! Happy 27th Birthday, Sunshine!

Silver threads spun together

A symbol, of our love, forever

A circle, wrapped around our fingers

The desire between us, forever lingers

No end to what the future brings

Ours hearts, as one, with these two rings

 

The hands in the picture are my husband’s and mine  ❤

A candle flickers, on the bedroom stand

This is the night, she so carefully planned

Her favorite book, laid by her side

She promised to read it, but knew that she lied

The pill bottle, there, on her white satin sheets

Open and empty, she’s falling asleep

Her thoughts start to wander, with dreams, unfulfilled

The rooms getting colder, her body now chilled

The flame, once so bright, is diminished instead

For she took her own life, when she made her own bed

Where once you were, you’re no longer there

I bet you thought, I wouldn’t care

But I do, you see, it’s important to me

The reason you felt, you had to flee

Did I forget to mention you?

Is this something I should do?

I hope one day, you’ll change your mind

When once again, my blog, you’ll find

 

Authors Note: This was a challenge from my dear friend, Michelle of Putting My Feet in the Dirt.  She wrote a poem about losing a follower and two days later, I noticed I lost one, too, so I blamed her lol  She dared me to write about it, so here it is 🙂

A storm rumbles in

With the thunder of hoof beats

Over the horizon
