Cluttered, empty spaces, found, but left unkempt

Emotion thrown, strewn about, in moral contempt

Answers, unquestioned, doubt exuded, within

Why on Earth am I? And where shall I begin?

To put the broken pieces, puzzled, back together

No help, those, who only dwell in fairest weather

White clouds follow, over me, pours down the rain

Why is it, no matter what, praise becomes disdain?

Received, but never sent, animosity finds its space

However small, to penetrate, a sacred inner place

To smash the dreams, so broken, and overrun

Now I see where I am. And why I have begun.

For C & J – two beautiful people
She tries so hard, just to be

The one she wants him to see

Through all the ups and downs

And the turmoil that swirls around

He smiles and laughs his boyish grin

Knowing well, from deep within

Her love for him shall never waver

This is ultimately what will save her

From wondering if she’s got it right

When at times, she’s up all night

Just watching as he breathes, she sighs

Questioning the reasons why

She doubts herself when she can see

The fine young man he’s grown to be
