Reading the poems
I left on your bed
You thought I was
Messing with your head
What did they mean
You seemed so confused
Wondering how I meant
Those poems to be used
You asked some questions
And I tried to reply
But I may not have been
Clear as to what and why
You’re still missing the point
My love hasn’t wavered
My dreams are the same
Our life together, savored
I have given God my broken dreams
And am trusting in HIM
To fix and to mend
I’m out on a limb
I’m patiently waiting
For God to mold my dreams
Into HIS will
As strange as it seems
I’ve tried to fix things
On my own before
But the patch was short
Not there for more
Wanting another chance
Too see for myself
That you’re not still missing the point

A poem that Mother Teresa had framed on her wall
People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered
… love them anyway
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives
… do good anyway
If you are successful, you will with false friends and true enemies
… be successful anyway
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow
… do good anyway
Honesty and frankness will make you vulnerable
… be honest and frank anyway
People love underdogs but follow top dogs
… follow some underdogs anyway
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight
… build anyway
People really need help but may attack you if you try to help
… help people anyway
If you give the world the best you have, you may get kicked in the teeth
… but give the world the best you have
… ANYWAY

Knowing you’re with another
Sharing a love we once knew
How does this make me feel
Jealousy rears it’s ugly head
Green with envy
Anger even starts to brew
But these are but a passing thought
Tempered with understanding and love
Coming together in a strong alliance
Hidden in the back
Almost, daring to be seen
Is the eternal optimist, hope
Sitting quietly the struggle persists
Not knowing what will happen
Where our lives will lead
Opening up like never before
Baring my heart and soul
Vulnerable to the core

“How can you not be mad?”
“It must hurt like hell.”
They just don’t understand
“How can she date”
“Flaunting it in his face”
They just don’t understand
I was never quite sure
How I would react
They thought they understood
I surprised myself
Making it this far
They thought they understood
I try to explain
The depth of my love
Now they are confused
My love transcends
My own personal needs
Now they are confused
It all comes down to this
Understand Nothing
Believe in a Purpose

I see you now
Happy as you’ve ever been
Spending quality time
With another
You smile more
And are light on your feet
As beautiful as ever
I have seen you
I remember the days
When we smiled and laughed
Days that are
Too far in the past
Still the pain that I feel
Pales by comparison to
The pain and the hurt
I inflicted on you
Built up over time
Like a great wall
Some parts would crumble
But it would never fall
Now the wall is slowly
Eroding away
With a touch of another
Smoothing the sharp edges
You are molding yourself
Into who you want to be
A confident and beautiful woman
Who deserved much more from me
Yet I too am changing
Perhaps a little to late
Painful lessons
Twisting my fate
