Overcoming Obstacles
Lost in dark depression
Not knowing where
to turn
I opened the windows to my soul
To see what I could learn
I swept up the depression
Scrubbed the sadness
and the hurt
I put it all in trash bags
And set then by the curb
I found stashed
in a corner
Tucked high upon a shelf
A treasure chest of knowledge
That I could love myself
And wherever my future
takes me
I know that I will win
Because I opened the windows to my soul
And let the sun shine in
Forever Stay In My Heart
It was late when I heard the phone ring
I didn't kno then the grief it would bring.
He was killed by one thoughtless mistake
That a few of his friends decided to make.
I can't understand what they were thinking
The driver of the car had been drinking.
All I do now is think about him and cry
And ask myself again and again, why?
I cherish all the memories that we shared
And remember how much he loved and cared.
He is gone now, and yet it's still hard to part
So that's why he will forever stay in my heart.
My Little Superman
I babysat a little
boy months ago,
When I'd say, "It's bedtime", he always pleaded, "No!"
I still remember everything we did so well,
I'd tell him stay up late then whisper, "I won't tell!"
We usually made cookies, or atleast we'd try,
They would burn, and we'd laugh 'til we'd cry!
Movies, popcorn, pillow fights, and Nintendo,
Beanie Babies were another favorite from the 'Ty' Co.
His role model was Superman, how he loved him, too!
No one could've known what this boy would do.
He always brought joy into so many lives
Why? Oh, why would he have to die ?
He loved to play baseball and sing in te choir,
But he had to give them up because him muscles would tire.
Still, he kept on smiling, through the pain, of course
Even when he took a turn for the worse.
After treatments failed and several weeks went by
Home at last he came....perhaps to die.
Family and friends brought a lot of gifts
And then one day my sister and I went for a visit.
We watched his favorite movies, called Child's Play
The last time i saw him was on that day.
Imagine yourself at ten years old meeting your fate
His whole family was with him on this date.
They all hugged him and said not to be scared
They told stories and memories that they all once shared.
He is an angel now, in a better place
And I doubt that anybody will ever forget his smiling face.
Now he is home, and at peace once more
How I wish that I could once again to his door.
I will not forget him, I don't think I ever can
He was a real life hero...my little Superman.
