Curly reddish hair
Smile on the face
Raggedy Ann
Taking over your space
In the middle of the night
I make believe it is you
Holding her hand
I don’t feel so blue
A part of me connected
To a distant love
I pray each night
For guidance from above
With hope I believe
That one day I can
Come together with you
And be your Raggedy Man

The wind is howling
The night is closing in
Feeling colder
Darkness surrounds me
Stealing something
From my soul
Lights flickering
Looking for the path
Wandering around aimlessly
Hope comes and goes
Dreams fade away
Darkness invades
The Lord is the Light
He can guide my way
Keeping me on the right path
Patience in seeing
Where the path will lead
New visions open up
Paths crossing again
Where and when
Uncertainty remains

I miss your smiles
And the love in your eyes
I miss the time we spent
Playing games with the kids
I miss the times we would talk
I know that it takes two
I miss your laughter
It could be so contagious
I miss holding and touching you
You filled my life with joy
I miss the softness of you lips
When we used to kiss
I miss watching you sleep
You always looked so beautiful
I miss waking up next to you
My mornings began will a smile
I miss my better half
The one who makes me whole
If I am granted one more chance
I won’t miss telling you so.

Where do I go from here
My life ripped in two
Never thought this day would come
When I would lose you
You’re moving on
I’m at the end of my rope
Not knowing what to do
I still cling to hope
Everything is possible with Lord
This is what they say
I so want to believe that
It is truly that way
Yet still I know
HIS plan and not mine
Is what we are following
All one day will be fine
I must follow my heart
And search my soul
Putting faith in HIM
To show me the goal
Where do I go
I haven’t a clue
I’ll take it day by day
With loving thoughts of you

It’s been 20 years
Since we first met
Time keeps marching on
I still remember that first night
Little did I know
How my path would change
I used to wonder
If I would ever find love
Or if it would find me
Our beginning was rocky
But we made it through
And you granted my deepest wish
I smiled from ear to ear
And my heart leapt with joy
When you simply said “Yes”
Youth has its problems
Some grow out of it
Slower than others
We both carried scars
From our previous lives
Wounds so easily reopened
Self medicating and self inflicting
Not seeing what was wrong
Blinded to what was happening
Taking turns hurting each other
Until that wonderful day
Our son made us a FAMILY
Health issues arose
Bringing us closer
In hope and prayer
But depression began to set it
The signs where there
But I could not see
Our life seemed good
From the outside looking in
Things were looking up
Career was moving
Family was growing
Depression kicked in heavy
Still not comprehending
Still trying to grow
A work in progress, going slow
Love fills the heart
Desiring to make things right
Still things are missing
Go West young man
A change will do some good
Freedom and change drive
Issues still remain
Life isn’t always smooth
Change comes to us again
The good is very good
The bad is downright aweful
Rollercoasters were never very fun
Still through it all
There was love
You have changed
I see it every day
Strong of will
Dedicated, loving concern
I see you now
As the person I believed you to be
Those 20 years ago.
I too have changed
Though some remains the same
No longer am I
The center of my thoughts
The focus of my being
I have evolved
Working toward a family goal
Often too quietly
Trying not to burden
Others with my cares
This is the error of my ways
Once again my love
Is teaching me a lesson
I had thought already learned
I hear the songs
But I miss the meanings
Until my heart opens in pain
I hope it’s not too late
Only time will tell.
