Emily,
It made me so sad when you told me that you cut your wrists. And it was made so much worse when you rolled your sleeves down and showed me both of them. "Sorry to change the subject, but I have to ask: what do you want to be when you grow up?" "Once I’m out of this place," you gesticulate around the hollow halls of the hospital. "Once I’m out...

Plagued by memories
Sitting in a rocking chair trying to recall the passing years clutching a bible, he sits by the phone for a voice to remind him he is not all alone He can't help but wonder where the years have all gone and questions his purpose as life carries on He thinks of his family with great admiration the laughter and love...

Blessed Husband and Dad
I'm most grateful dad in this world. Blessed with a wife 2 boys and 3 girls. They brought meaning to my life. I could not ask for a better wife. Whenever I were feeling down. God would send one of you around. Forgive me for the times I'd overreact. I wish someway I could get them back. I am human just like you. And...

Premium Member HUMAN FAMILY TREE
Trees form an alliance…you might say they’re in cahoots… with other trees and organisms that intertwine within their roots. Pine, fir, palm, cherry, maple…it matters not what we call them what differences on their outsides we may see… The thread connecting them means they are all one family… and that family is…tree. It’s amazing how it works…if a tree needs something...

Because We Are Before And Now
Because we have all the leading roles See, you and I are sitting in the same row Even if our roads are separate See, you're walking, and I'm walking beside you. Because we have separate homes See, we still see each other often You in other block, mine next to you See, you're cooking, I smell the food. Because we are friends so...

Messy Boys
Jibber jabber, pitter patter; another one is screaming, now what's the matter? Little feet, stinky feet, how many rocks did you just eat? Sticky hands, runny nose; did you just pick your nose with your toes? Booger picking, booger eating; do we need to have another prayer meeting? Messy house, stained up clothes; with these three boys, anything goes. Terrible two's and attitude; where'd they...

Stepdaughter
When anger clouds your eyes, And your heart fills with rage, Unable to hold back The hurt inside; When you lose control Of your inner storm, Expelling evil On those around you; When I feel your blows Against my body, Fierce and desperate, Like a trapped animal, I know you don’t want To be this way– I know you don’t want To hurt anyone But I also know That I would rather...
