Makes Me Me was inspired by my own little quirks.
My Kids was inspired by my son and daughter and the struggles when they were born.
A Friend is a about a lady I've never met, but has helped more than she could know.
Makes Me, Me
I wanna
watch football and then a love story. I wanna two step and then rock to Journey.
I wanna eat
out four nights in a row, because I don’t feel like turning on the stove.
I wanna try
new recipes when I’m in the mood, then go get a burger because it wasn’t any
good.
I wanna
drink a little, but not too much, I wanna laugh a little and then too much.
I wanna kick
a little ass while playing pool, I wanna see a scary movie and scream like a
fool.
I wanna cry
when I lose someone I love, and pray they are happy with God above.
I wanna
dance with my children and see them smile or just sit and talk with them for
awhile.
I wanna stay
busy, I don’t like to keep still. I wanna live each day so I get my fill.
I wanna move
forward and not live in the past, I wanna see my kids grow up, but not too fast
All these
things make me, me. I need someone who can let them be.
The serious,
the funny and even the angry, share and come with, don’t leave me alone.
Don’t expect
me to do this all on my own, I’ll run so I can live and don’t have to stay home.

My Kids
My kids were
both so tiny the day that they were born
They arrived
a little early and my heart was very torn
My son
struggled for hours to breathe all on his own
My daughter
was a little stronger, but I still went home alone
It’s never
easy to see your baby hooked up to machines
They were
the sweetest, most amazing things I’d ever seen
An incubator
with tubes was my son’s very first bed
He’s going
to be OK was what the nurses always said
Thirteen
years later my daughter’s journey was better
Her heart
and lungs were stronger, but she was not a good eater
Today my son
is twenty, six foot three and plays the drums
My daughter
now is seven, likes art and to write poems
My kids are
so amazing, I can’t imagine life without them
I love them
every day, even when they’re causing mayhem
I know life
is a winding road, but hopefully they’ll be ready
My true
desire for them is that they’re both always happy

A Friend
Although
we’ve never met your encouragement kept me going
Your stories
are so perfect, I thought I was there watching
Your tales
help me disappear into a world of mysterious wonder
The words
that we both write brought us close together
I wanted to
share my words but I was still a little nervous
You gave me
a positive push and I began to feel courageous
What if no
one likes the song lyrics floating in my head?
From across
the globe we support each other now I’m confident instead
So thank you
to my dear sweet friend from across the Atlantic Ocean
We both love
to write and get inspired by simple actions
I look
forward to the day we meet even if it takes years
I’m glad our
paths have crossed, you helped me conquer some of my fears
