Life questions-list

How does your last breath give way to your soul

How does your last heart beat end your dreams.

Is your fait set by the ideas you wake up with

Can we really choose our future among the causes in the world

Is life really a challenge if you set your own limits,
If you choose to continue or quit?

Going off the deep end , when your reaching for so much more.

How easy is it to get lost in the motions and forget ourselves and our dreams?

WHERE WOULD WE BE

Where would we be …you …and me

Without the man in his old run down truck

With his furry companion in the middle.

Without all the acquaintance’s we met along the way

Without all the souls that have touched us to create a memory

 

Without loves lost, broken hearts mended and lessons still to learn

Without or diamonds in the rough, Our children

our gifts from heaven at just the right time.

Without the journey traveled the dreams fulfilled or forgotten

And the journey yet to come.

Without the trips down the dusty road or along the river

Without the snow or rain and perfect sunshiny days.

Without all the things that we don’t see beyond our control,

that make our world, everyone’s world go around.

Without the world and everything in it

Without you, where would I be.

Faces

The faces that grow on us

change before we see the child inside fade

Before us stands another face,

A face that grows on the world

They are with us but a brief moment in time, but

They remain in our hearts, forever

Forever giving us glimpses to the past

And stretching our dreams to the future

Remaining still,

the familiar face in the crowd.

What gifts they bring to the world

Is all that we have instilled in them

May you see yourself as a gift

To be loved and cared for.

Be all you can, strive to succeed

To fulfill, your someday.

of our children whom I cherish

Flight

Flight
The flight of life takes off Slow and easy,
With lots to see and learn.
Then climbs to a faster pace were
we start to glide into
The gentle, comfortable middle.
When we hit that comfort zone
We start to look higher, and so we climb.
Before we know it we are over the top,
and on the easy slide down.
Take it all in and enjoy the flight,
Before you know it we are looking
at landing.
And the flight has ended all to soon.

May your ride not be to bumpy to the next birthday.
May you enjoy another 60 birthdays even more!
The best of life’s flights to you

The end of days

The end of days is the beginning of forever,
forever no more memories, of secrets, forbidden stories
longing for dreams forgotten with time
lost loves reunite without question

I can only see the end of days because
the night eludes me
days never end, they replay, rewind, remind
eye's that see clearly shut, await the sun

If there are no days there can be no nights
Night imprisons my mind with all that is,
was and will be, my life

Lost Souls

Lost soles tied to earth
beckoned by the heavens
held silent in disguise
freedoms hope searches
love weeps sorrow
reckless fantasies take hold
fear releases broken dreams

everything that is gasps another breath as you lay silent

love awaits your smile forever

THIS DAY

How have we come to this

this comfort, love, life

This day..

As you look at us do you see who we are

can you feel our dreams come true, our future awaits

This day..

Can you see our babies tender faces

and soft sounds of happiness

This day..

can you feel the sun fade as you glide through

the evenings glassy water

This day..

Began with friendship, restaurants and oil changes

This day..

Can you hear the cheering parents

at soccer and football games, Christmas programs

This day..

Do you remember the names and faces of friends and colleges

whom touched our lives

This day..

As you climb into that car can you feel it's power

beneath you pushing around the corners to the finish line

This day..

As the cold steals our breath with beauty and sheer silence

we listen for his call

This day..

A new sound beacons our children to ride forever

This day..

We struggle with our dreams and desires

This day..

As many (to few) the powder hits us fueling a passion within

This day..

A new job becomes so much more, a beginning we never imagined

would take us on a new road, today it is our life blood

This day..

gives us opportunity, freedom, passion, knowledge

This day..

We will give and receive love

From this day forward I am yours Forever
