Debbie's (Mom) Poetry
BAD WORDS
Life's amazing when,
kids, that I have borne;
bad words that they learn, ring
over and again, I'm never forewarned.
I'd watch what I'd say.
I was ever so careful;
but then came that day
careful was all blown away.
A horrible of the Bad Words
became a part of our life.
Not 4 letters, nor 5, but 6 had the word,
CANCER! They said, had entered our world.
The careful was all gone;
many bad words I cried and said!
Cancer,cancer, that bad word doesn't belong,
as I wept at my dear daughter's bed.
That horrible, bad word, it has drawn
our family ever so close.
For we greet each beautiful new dawn,
living life at it's most.
The other bad words of life?
Oh...... they're still there...
But "Cancer"!... cuts like a knife;
through our hearts it does tear.
And now, the kids that I borne,
new bad words do they learn and live!
Not shit, damm, nor the cussied "F" one...
But cancer, chemo, relapse, and die?
Bad words and my kids,
nothing's new about that.
But cancer? Dear Lord!
That bad word? Not that!
6 FEET BENEATH
He loves to fish,
I tell him so do I.
He says that I'm a keeper,
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He say's he is 12 years younger,
I tell him I don't care.
Our love knows no age,
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He say's "I do",
I say "I do".
Everyone says it won't last,
Now he's six feet beneath.
He's an alcoholic,
I can't handle this.
But he chooses us over alcohol.
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He goes through re-hab,
I am with him every step of the way.
Together we become sober.
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He's forgotten by his family,
I say I am your family now.
We will get through this too.
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He only has harsh words about his brother,
This, I say, is between them two.
His brother is too good for him?
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He and his son, my what a pair,
I love to see them together.
They have the world ahead of them.
Now he is 6 feet beneath.
He won't see his family,
But I tell him it is time too.
We'll do it together.
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He say's he'll take care of me,
I say, "My life is in your hands".
He's sober and working, I'm disabled.
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He makes peace with most of his family,
I am by his side all the way
But they don't know the man he is now.
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He is so proud of his yard and flowers,
I think they are just wonderful,
But his family never took time to see them.
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He loves his son, such a fine young man
I see the love between them.
As we met he and his mother for dinner.
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He and his son's mother were no longer at war
I was so proud of both of them.
A strange loving family were we.
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He has made my world complete,
As I have done for him.
For all our married years, his family never visited.
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He is such a wonderful PaPa,
To my daughter's little girls.
To him, they are his girls.
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He is their PaPa,
I know they love him so dearly.
His family doesn't accept us, much less them.
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He is working so hard,
And I am is such pain.
But together we make it day by day.
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He is such a wonderful man,
I tell him I love him so very much.
It's a shame his family don't know this man.
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He's so tired from work,
And I am still cooking.
For tomorrow is Thanksgiving.
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He's gone to bed and is sound asleep,
I'm in the dark, getting ready to be by his side.
A loud noise, a shot, fighting, LORD, HELP US.
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He is dead, I am told
As I lay at the hospital.
Why did they wait hours to tell me?
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He is gone, my love is gone,
I must go tell his family.
"Oh NO!" they cry, "Not our baby".
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He has to be buried
We had no money saved.
His mother pays for it.
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He wouldn't won't his brother there
If I were paying for it,
For him, I would see to that.
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He is my love, and he is gone.
I am drilled and harassed.
The Law thinks I am to blame.
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He would tell the law where to go,
They won't listen to me.
The law didn't know us or our love.
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He would want his mother re-paid,
This I will see to.
He wouldn't want to be beholden to her.
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He was here, right here.
This man I loved so dearly.
His family just didn't care to take the time.
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He is probably bewildered.
Just as I am.
As they visit his grave and cry for him.
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He would want his family to embrace me,
I know they won't,
If they couldn't do it for him, then why for me?
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He was a wonderful, loving man,
I know that for a fact.
But they'll never know, they didn't care to.
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He is gone form this earth
But never from my heart.
Yea, his family did turn their back on me.
Now he's 6 feet beneath.
He is my love, and he is gone.
I miss him so very much.
Maybe things will be OK
When it's my time to be with him,
6 feet beneath.
CRY
neglected children
mistreated animals
unreturned love
cry
storm destruction
murder
deforestation
cry
ozone depletion
fields dying
species extinction
cry
war raging
social injustice
religion unknown

cry for hope
cry for love
cry for GOD
cry
G & K
The birds are singing the sun is shining
what a beautiful day, I'm gonna get a G & K
Finished with my chores,
oops, gotta mop the floors
it's finally time to get underway
I'm gonna get a G & K.
Run to my truck, oh, what such luck
what else can i say
I'm gonna get a G & K.
The breeze blowing in my hair
Oh, I dont have a care, I'm on my way
I'm gonna get my G & K.
I knock on the dorr, I can't wait no more
I've waited all day
I'm gonna get a G & K.
Yes, there she will be
my grandchild I will see
and I'll get my G & K
for her "grunts and kisses"
always makes my day.
MY TATS
Tats? What you say?
What are they?
Tattoos my friends,
And I'll get them to the end.
So far, I only have two
but I want more, that's nothing new.
What's holding me back?
It's their cost, that's a fact.
What was my fist one?
A Mother's Day gift from my son.
I love the outdoors, it gives me such power,
So I have a hummingbird and flowers.
Is there pain getting a tat?
Only you can answer that.
As for me, I felt no pain.
I slept thru it & I'd so it again.
My second and most important tat?
One that I wish that didn't need be worn.
It's MS, for my late Better Half.
I'd rather have him instead of this tat.

Jessica's (daughter) Poetry
SERENITY OF DARKNESS
I shall lie in the darkness to sleep
to be at peace for this day is done
I shall not be afraid of demons
nor ghost, nor unconscious hell
I shall lie in this darkness
and be one with it's beauty
for there must be an end
of was once a beginning
to be a beginning again
I shall find serenity in this darkness
and pray for the light
that is tomorrow
WHO IS MY IDOL
Not someone famous,
it is someone close to me.
Someone I care about and love dearly.
My idol is my mother.
She cares and loves
with all her heart and soul
She is everything in my life,
when there seems to be nothing there.
She takes life as it comes
and goes on from there.
She never gives up,
not on anything or anyone.
That to me
is everything an idol should be.
A WISH COME TRUE
I am looking out the window at the world. Life is going on without me. Here I am fighting for the chance to be a part of just tomorrow. Life. Tomorrow. She has friends. They talk on the phone for hours about everything and nothing. I just talk to my doctors about my protocol.
She gets to go shopping. She is buying an outfit for picture day. I had x-rays taken today wearing a lovely ensemble. I wore the latest in the spring wardrobe of 1989. A lovely lead vest ensemble.
Her mother is helping her pick out the right dress for the school dance. Can you tie the back of this gown so I can go to the Gift Shop? Her mom is brushing her long wavy hair. I just can't decide the white hat or the blue one? I see her, how beautiful she is. What her life must be like.
She is so pretty, does she know how lucky she is? Does she have a boyfriend? Do they write letters to one another? I don't have anyone to write to. Maybe, just maybe.
Dear God,
It's me, I just wanted to write to you to ask you for a small favor. I do so much for so little in return. I take this shot, those pills, for what? More pain and no guarantee that in the end I will get what I need. My Life back. So I am asking you for one day. Can I be her? Can I be alive? Can I live life? Just one day. I have given you and this disease days, weeks, months, and in the end, probably my life. All I want is one day. I once heard God hears all prayers but he answers the way he knows yours would be best. Which is sometimes not what we quite wanted. I asked for one day and I got it. She came to visit me. She took time out of her busy life to come and see me. I was bless with my one day. And I realized I don't have to be her. I am me. And I am gonna beat this disease. Because I have a friend who is gonna hold my hand. Who is gonna be there for me. Now and when I get well. I have a friend that is forever. She was my wish, now she is my friend. Will she ever know just how much she meant and means to me?
Dedicated to Heather Pait. Your are my family but more than that, You are my friend
And I love you

Jason's (son) Poetry
AS IF
When I feel as if I have no choice, I think of you and your beautiful voice.
When I feel as if, fo me, nobody has a care,
I think of you and your hypnotizing stare.
When I feel as if nobody loves me that much,
I think of you and your heartfelt touch.
And finally, when I feel as if nothing comes from above,
I think of you and our friendship we call love.
PURE LOVE
For over a year now, my feelings do nothing but grow,
starting from friendship, then increasing to make me glow.
What is it about this special girl,
that makes me cherish her like a pearl?
Could it be her looks or maybe she's popular,
that makes me feel so completely irregular?
Could it be her body or perhaps her money,
that makes everyday seem so beautiful and sunny?
Think I'll choose answer E.....None of the above,
because what we have is just plain PURE LOVE!
