Friendship Hiatus
Because of the busy nature of your life
No new seeds can possibly grow
Daughter, sister, mother and wife
It’s hard to change that flow.
As much as I want to jump on board
To germinate a sturdy seed
Talking about it strikes a piercing chord
That neither of us really needs.
All I want is a present friend at my side
To listen, hear and speak
With whom I can socialize and confide
Both when I’m strong and weak.
A busy gal can’t be a steady friend
Within a huge avalanche of deeds
With much regret my efforts must now end
As I focus on my needs.
I know one day there may be a change
To all the many, many roles you play
That new journey will be kind of strange
But I know you will find the way.
You are a blessing to those who know
An incredible angel from on high
Your heart and spirit will always glow
But for now I must step aside.
This is clearly not the right time to fight
Against what’s meant to be
You are daughter, sister, mother and wife
That is so very obvious to me.
Fare well my friend in all you have to do
Find silver between the frowns
My thoughts and prayers will be with you
Through all of your ups and downs.

BLOSSOMING
Death is final
Love is not
Life is open
To all we’ve got.
Open our hearts
Open our minds
Embrace the beauty
Of every kind.
Embrace the people
the moments the days
Celebrate life and living
In many different ways.
Once we are gone
It will all be too late
Don’t close the doors
But open the gate.
Life is for living
Right here and right now
So on that last day
We can clearly say: WOW!

ON LIVING AND DYING
The death of a loved one, a woman or man
Is not something for which we’re able to plan.
We’re born to live and eventually will die,
Life is a big gift and a time to feel high,
It’s not always easy and not always tough,
But for sure eventually, it will all be enough.
The key is to nurture and build self esteem,
Do what we say and say whatever we mean.
Listen to the music and hear all the sounds,
Build up a legacy and know where we’re bound.
Cherish the freedom and liberty to speak,
Be mindful of others and help out the weak.
Stay alive while living and be ready to die,
as a person of meaning, with love in our eyes.
Whatever happens and wherever we go,
Find peace in knowing it’s all part of the flow.
Enjoy all the moments, days, weeks and years,
Let go of anxieties, worries and fears.
Life is our paradise, both cloudy and clear,
Death leaves our spirit both far away and near.

Memories
Scattered pictures
Overshadowed
By fast changing times
Out of my control
Out of my hands
But, my heart still beats
My soul still smiles,
As a new life begins
With open arms.
Forever There

We lost a friend to mental illness, they say
There was nothing we could do
It just happened that way.
Into an institution and then out again
In again and out again
Somewhat like pestering rain
In pain or insane, insane or in pain?
Confusion, confusion everywhere
Unable to guess the face she would wear
Often giving us such a huge scare
Ready to pull out every last hair.
Whispering people wherever we looked
Finding her hidden in a dark nook
Or staring intently into a book
The littlest worry is all it took.
Lost in a psychosis all on her own
Struggling madly, yelling into the phone
There she was so very much alone
Lost in a world filled with unknowns.
The power of mental illness took her away
Forever lost there and there she will stay.
Forever found there, day after day.
