Mother Emotional Sits, patiently waiting Finally the music begins Playing ~*~ Sweet girl Dressed up in frills A basket in her hand Decorates the path she walks with Petals ~*~ Vision In her white dress Glides toward the altar The carpeted aisle decked in Daisies

To all you singles in the cyber world Who think you know all the risks and dangers I'm sure you've heard all the horror stories About the online fatal attractions And you probably have at least one friend Who's had a long distance relationship Maybe you've been told those rarely work out But you're still harboring a secret hope Well I'm one of the few success stories And this long distance stuff isn't easy Everyone figures the distance is tough But they only focus on the lovers It's assumed one of them will move closer And they'll live happily ever after But it's not a sacrifice for nothing Th

Hello there human, my name is buddy I couldn't help but notice you staring See, my owner seems to think it's funny To dress me in the outfits I'm wearing Playing dress up is wrong in many ways But it's something I've learned to tolerate Since one of the perks is loveable praise And I get treats when I co-operate I really don't mind all the attention Though loving me for me would be preferred I adore getting all this affection But some of these costumes are just absurd She dresses me in all this silly stuff As if forgetting I'm purr-fect enough

Sun rises and falls Day after day Moon follows Night after night In a never-ending game Of tag With each passing second Minute, hour Our lives become a bore Schedules create Predictability That is seemingly Endless And we complain Nothing changes But if we stop Just for a moment If we look back From when we started And we compare it To where we are now There are but few Similarities The differences become Nearly overwhelming From our attitudes To our relationships And our dwellings It's startling to think Everything changes.

The time when you realize Your breathing Is just an illusion Within a world of lies We seek truth And our own life's meaning Which is often surmised True wisdom Will come with time - And time Cannot be compromised

Soft fur Keeps me cozy, As I soak up the sun Lazing around the house all day. Love me, You know I'm irresistable. My purring will soothe you When you pet me, Meow.

Nature's subjects bow down gratefully Appreciating her regal Presence, her graceful M o v e m e n t s Accompanied by MAJESTIC Roar, she isn't to be trifled with Her never ending beauty is grand Though her wrath can be unforgiving.

Dear mother - this loving ode is for you To relate to your ears how my heart feels An attempt to convey the gratitude Regular conversation might conceal I'm convinced without possible question No daughter could be as lucky as I Your loyalty shone through your depression You've always been there, my faithful ally My sister and I, how lucky we are To be so well loved without condition And many thanks can only go so far For all the time you spent in the kitchen So mother this is your dedication: My appreciation for all you've done "I love you" expresses adoration In this loving ode I've barely be

Your poisoned words are killing me You are nothing more than a snake Attacking victims visciously Your poisoned words are killing me Crippling me emotionally Trusting you was a huge mistake Your poisoned words are killing me You are nothing more than a snake

Wind's slow, languid breath lifts hair from my face Calming my heated skin from sun's long kiss Freshly cut grass, and fragrant flowered trees These delicious aromas fill my nose Ivy-laced lattice, vibrant hues of blooms Bronzed, sandy beaches pleasing to the eyes Children's amused laughter, birds cheery tunes Water being splashed - music to my ears Lovely sights and sounds, perfumed silky air Senses come alive: first taste of summer

Is there really a point in living life, If we have no one with whom to share it? Living can suck without husband or wife To credit your daily life with merit. We need someone to listen to our stress: Calm down our anger, console our grief, To celebrate with us in our sucess, And after a rough day, be our relief. To whom else can we turn when life's unfair, When everything's wrong and we need a friend? To comfort us when it's too much to bare, We need someone on whom we can depend. We need someone to tell our daily tales, To be there for us through both thick and thin, To take care of us when w

Relationships are like a rose Fragile, beautiful - with some thorns If neglected, will decompose Relationships are like a rose The more you care, the more it shows And weathers better through the storms Relationships are like a rose Fragile, beautiful - with some thorns
