Heart, Mind, and Soul

This poem was about a boy I really liked in high school, then one day I got to school and I saw him kissing another girl. As a teenager I thought my world was over. I was really good friends with the girl so it broke my heart and I felt like she had stabbed me in the back but really she had no idea what was going on. It was him the whole time, stupid teenage boys, but I got over it pretty quick.

Heart, Mind and Soul

I see you sitting, staring at me thinking I don’t know. I have watched you for so long. We both gaze at each other; I feel my heart pounding. I see you looking my way, I look at you; we sit gazing into each other’s eyes. You know that you can feel my heart pounding, not even realizing what you mean to me. I long to feel your hand your hand squeezing so tight; then it happens. We sit close, not seeing the world around us. I feel my heart jump from my chest. Talking to air, not hearing the words, just watching as you pull me closer, I wanted to die in your arms. Then you walk away, not knowing what to do, sitting there in awe. I wanted to run after you. I walk away, but my mind, my heart, my soul is screaming for you to come back to me. I want you back in my arms; I can’t let go. I won’t let go; screaming for help deep inside. You found someone else, someone whose heart will jump too. I feel I no longer have a heart, a mind or, a soul. I’m just sitting there with nothing to say, nothing to do, pleading come back. I can’t let you go; I want you to be mine. I want you for my own, but you found another, someone more pretty than I. I’ve lost you but I will never forget you. You will always be with me; you are my heart, my mind, and my soul.

So this was when I first started writing poems, it is extremely cheesy and a little early for the season but for some reason I was in a Christmas mood in August!!? Well, hope you enjoy, I am having fun going back to all my old poems and re-reading them again, even if just to see how I have grown in the writing field.

No Time

It’s time to go it’s time to run,
no time at all, no time for fun.
Sometimes I wish, oh can’t you see?
Sometimes I wish there was more time for me.
I dream and dream my wish could come true,
I dream and dream it’s the best I can do.
I’m always hoping this day is it,
I’m always hoping then I got hit.
I was hit with the spirit Christmas brings,
It made me realize I was flying with wings.
I could walk, I could run, I could do what I please,
unlike some other less fortunate than me.
I took so much for granted, it took my breath away,
I didn’t know I had so much, I didn’t know what to say.
Now I look back and think of my time here,
and tell myself I have nothing to fear.
I decided that life is not worth living,
if you’re not in the spirit of giving.

Life

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted anythng. I have been so busy between Bryton's school and my classes, there has been no time to play on the internet, for fun anyway. Well, This is a poem I wrote for some friends when they got married. I was a bridesmaid in their wedding and this was my gift to them. I typed it up and put it in a nice frame. I looked really nice. I hope they still have it but I don't know I don't talk to them very often anymore. I hope you enjoy this new poem and sorry they don't go in a specific order for you!

Life

On this day in your lives, two becomes one.
Your circles complete, the puzzle’s almost done.
You’re joining your hands, your lives, and your hearts,
To promise to love until death do you part.
Along the road, there may be some bumps on the way,
But never give up and don’t ever stray.
There may be times when you feel afraid, but just
Hold on tighter and you’ve got it made.
If you cling to each other when things get to tough;
You’ll make it through the hard times
And life won’t seem so rough.
Always look for the good times, never dwell on the bad,
Just make sure you stick together, and
Remember the fun times you’ve had.
On this day in your lives, two becomes one.
Your circles complete the puzzle’s almost done.
You’re joining your hands your lives and your hearts,
To promise to love until death so you part.

Jen and Josh, I hope you have an awesome marriage.
Good Luck in all you do!

Good Luck

I am puting yet another poem on my blog! This one is the one I wrote for my brother, Preston, before he left on his mission. I read it at his farewell!

Living the Gospel

Where will I be without you?
Where will I be when you go away?
What will I do when you leave here?
Is goodbye just something they say?
Your leaving this life for two year to come,
Living the gospel, and teaching to some.
So live your life to the fullest, tech to the best,
Because after it’s over your put to the test.
There’s people out there who need your loving touch,
Helping them out won’t take very much.
I know you can do it, though I know it will be hard,
away from home, just don’t let down your guard.
So away you go for two years to come,
Teaching and preaching until you are numb.
You’ll do a good job and I know you’ll have fun,
As long as you remember you’ve already won.
When the time comes to say goodbye,
I’ll try to be strong and try not to cry.
I’ll see you again after two years have passed,
But I’ll just keep praying that it will go well,
that you can do good and, not feel like failed.
In the eyes of the Lord everyone is a winner,
Including you too and even the sinners.

Good Luck, Preston! I love you!

Thirteen

Here is one more poem that I wrote back in 2007 for my best friend, Tiffany Stueben. She as always there for me when I needed her and just needed to talk even. It doesn't matter what it is or what was happening she was always there. I love her like a sister! I hope you enjoy the poem!




Thirteen
We used to be inseparable. We never were apart.
We always were together, right from the very start.
Skippin’ school and ditchin’ class, always having fun.
There were times we didn’t know if we’d ever be done.
Now you have your life and I have mine that’s all just the past.
Life is one big play for us and we are just the cast.
Sometimes I wonder if it ever will be the way it used to be.
Sometimes I wish that we still were the friends that I still see.
We’ll always be friends is what we would say.
Best friends forever are what we would stay.
Though life has been hard and times have been tough,
We’ve both had our issues and some have been rough.
We’ve shared some good times and we’ve shared some tears.
Thirteen years have gone by; so far we’ve been good.
We’ve kept our promise, just like we should.
Though our lives both have changed
And things aren’t the same,
We still keep in touch just as we claim.
We don’t know the future or what is in store,
But thirteen years longer is we we’ll hope for.
