YOUR SELF DESTRUCTION

I watch you whenever I am near,

And you amaze me for you are quite rare.

What is the word that describes you?

Well there's not one, but quite a few.

You are a maggot, a parasite and a leech,

Into your pocket you never reach.

You're always broke and from paying you get away,

But it will come back to haunt you one fine day.

You think you are so smart but yet you display,

There are men more worthy than you born everyday.

You turn up your nose to people who care,

Yet without them you'd be nowhere.

We all see the real you and we're not impressed,

In the past you've given us time when we've expressed,

That you are no good and need to change,

If only your brain we could re-arrange.

We hope you awake soon to face your responsibility,

But maybe that would be an impossibility,

Because your entire life is focused on you,

You might wake up too late and your friends will be few!

THE ART OF GIVING AND RECEIVING

I look at you from across the room
And I realize that our love has bloomed.
We’ve become closer with each passing day,
And even have the same things to say.

At night as we lie in the bed we share
We become a loving pair
And I am happy that we have met,
For Cupid’s arrows our hearts have set.

My heart races as you hug me,
I quiver from your touch so soft and free.
You say we must give love to receive love,
Having found you, I agree to the above.

We hug and kiss when we are together,
No matter the time or the weather.
We think the same things and enjoy similar interest,
You have become my lover, you are the best!

Your eyes twinkle as I look at you,
My heart races with that little nod you do.
So, I carry you in my heart,
Whenever we have to be apart.

REALIZATION OF LIFE

To a love lost before it was found

Across the trail of thoughts that I have,

Across the dreams that I create,

Is a vision of a life unknown

And probably impossible to make.

To the "ups" and "downs" of life,

The "ins" and "outs" can compare,

But when I stop to think about everything,

I thank God for my being here.

Whenever things don't seem right

Or appear as a part of impossible dreams,

I wish I could turn on a light

And make them beautiful realities.

But reality is not like our minds creation,

It's not filled with getting what we demand,

But a place where a struggle is a chain reaction,

To the "wants" and "needs" of every Man.

CAROLYN, MY DARLING DAUGHTER

The stars twinkled ever so brightly,

The angels sang your name cheerfully,

Every day into my life you bring joy,

I thank the Lord you're a girl not a boy!!

I thank Him too for the bond we share,

As mother and daughter and friends who care

You're my greatest friend, the reason I live,

My best wishes and blessings to you I give.

I pray for your happiness and your success,

I pray to God daily that you will be blest.

You're all I could ever want a daughter to be

I am so happy that you are a part of me!

There is so much in life's journey to success

Your accomplishments are my happiness.

All your pains are my deepest sorrows,

May you have only glorious tomorrows.

Remember you are my jewel, most precious

Remember daughter, that all I do, I do for us

All your tomorrows will always be true,

I send my blessing today to you.

LA FELICIDAD DE UNA ABUELA

A Grandma's Joy

The cutest thing we've ever seen

Came with the birth of a little being.

She entered our lives one August morn,

That's when little Ciarra was born.

She waited until I arrived from miles away,

To come into the world the every next day.

So it was that we had a month together,

To form a bond that will last forever.

On her first birthday it was a joy,

To see her play with each new toy.

Her second Christmas was also a treat,

As we bundled up just to cross the street.

She's talkative and without a doubt,

She has her grandma Brenda's mouth.

She loves to draw cats and to dance,

It's so cute when she gives you the glance.

God bless this little angel dear,

For whom we've come to love and care.

TE QUIERO MAS

I Love You More

Each day my feelings for you grows,

The love I have for you quite freely flows.

I dream of when we will nolonger be apart,

It is the day we will fulfill the longing of our hearts.

God has been planning this for you and me,

He has guided our paths and soon our spirits will be free.

The love I pledge will be yours always,

It will grow because we show it in so many ways.

Together we'll become one body, one soul and one mind,

Because true love is special and it we did find

So when you look in my eyes and smile at me,

I know your love I'll always see.

And daily I know my heart will truly soar,

As I tell you I love you,

I LOVE YOU MORE!

ES NUESTRO DEBER

It's Up To Us
As another month has come to an end,

Only God knows what comes around the bend.

But as we share with those near at heart,

Lets stop the horrors that tears us apart.

May we come to appreciate and love each other

As many a mother, father, sister or brother.

Because life was meant to be of joy and peace

So let freedom be and hatred cease.

We owe safety and life to the new generation,

Not death and sorrow amid any celebration.

Not a world of fear but one sees tomorrow,

One filled with happiness not with sorrow.

So let's join hands around the world,

And send love and friendship on a swirl.

For no one should sit back and nothing do,

The peace of this world is up to me and you!
