Oak Tree

You grow for one purpose
To thrive
You have one water and light source
That's all you need
About twenty feet down you plant your roots
To keep you down
You bend with the wind
So you won't snap
Your strong an immovable
Your my will
You'll grow over the years
Bigger an stronger
Your experience guides me through your branches
To the top I can see my destination
Now the trek down
Your wisdom shows me which branches hold
Circling your trunk
I shimmy down
My feet touch the ground
As your branches
Release their embrace
Looking up as far as I can
Your the one tree
I'll fall from
You are what keeps my heart planted
You are my oak tree

Clouds

If you listen closely. To what the wind has to say. You'll hear a thousand secrets. Whistling your way. If you keep your ears open. Listening just hard enough. There are truths that are hidden.

Time To Reflect

Time is a gift, We lose it each day. Reflect on your wishes, Make them happen each day. I have taken a journey, To discover myself, I'd lost "me" through troubles, Lost colour and health.

Ready Now

Ready to take on the day. In my own special little way. Ready to embrace. The sometimes cold human race. Ready to finally say goodbye. Now I have the answer to why. Ready to lay flowers.
