The Song of 2013

Going through the year of loss and mourning has been super difficult for me.   Moving to Texas didn't pan out the way I had planned; going through a year without my hero.  Dealing with other losses too.   This song embodies what the year is for me.  Just hanging on.  

Hope

The darkness, the cold,

The loss of a chance to be bold.

Hands tied, lips sealed,

Unable to truly feel.

Silence falls everlasting,

Only the sound of my heart blasting.

Unable to see what is there,

Unable because all is bare.

I look in the darkness for a clue,

Something to cast another hue.

I find that deep within,

I nurture it with hope that something may begin.

Lost in the forever night eyes closed,

Looking for something deeper I suppose.

Not sure if I can cope…

So I continue to nurture my ray of hope.

Coming Through

We all travel through darkness at some point in our lives.  When we find ourselves on the other side, we can’t weep for what we've lost.  We have got to pick up what remains and keep moving forward.  We have to do this in honor those that came before us, those who lived and breathed so that we can.   We have to also have the knowledge in our hearts that no matter what, things will always get better.  Know it, believe it.

Emotions

Emotions can flow like a river, coming from no where and engulfing all that is you.   I myself have experienced this first had the last month and a half since I lost my Grandma.   Grief is a difficult emotion to describe and it comes intermittently. 

When Ya Gotta Go...

Sometimes, you just have to smile and let go of what is serious.

Faithful

There is nothing like the love of a faithful companion.  Someone that will adore you and see through all of your faults, someone to be there and cuddle you just when you need it the most.  Nothing like unconditional love…. Be it feline, canine, or any other variety, our pets offer us something so precious that it must be cherished. 

Scenery

Scenery changes from one season to the next and even depending on where you stand.  If you ever feel like you’re surrounded by the same scenery and you need a change, maybe you should just walk ten feet to the left.
