Why Does He Blame Me?

I’m living in the life of hate

He feels as though it’s my fault

He lives a self-centered life

When he’s married to a wife.

She feels so sad a lot of times

Thinking there will be a turn-around

A miracle to help things out

But this can’t seem to; no doubt.

It came to pass with this mess

Conflicts became strong with anger

No way can I continue on with this

I have to move away for some bliss.

Living with someone who craves

His drink of alcohol to get his high

Was never pleasant anymore so

He said it was time for me to go.

When He Should Blame Himself—

Why Do You Play With My Heart?

You glanced and stole my heart,

Then your words just filled me-

I became overwhelmed by them.

Feelings of love were enhanced

At each moment of your touch

As your kindness overflowed.

I hear and see you in my mind

When I awake with each morn-

My heart aches for your love.

Tell me why you tug at my heart?

I’m afraid to fall in love with you.

This could be just a lover’s game.

It’s filled with fun and excitement

That lasts for just a brief moment-

And it happens once in a lifetime.

Inspiration of Parents

Dedicated to my Parents

LS and RS

A Farmer’s Daughter

My father toiled the land, and loved the land;

He grew corn, soybeans, oats, and alfalfa.

Lived on an acreage of home and buildings,

Raised dairy cows, hogs, chickens and ducks.

Life was spent in doing everyday chores,

Going to school and learning all studies.

Caring for the family; preparing meals of

Fruit and vegetables grown from the garden.

My beginning was started on the farm in Iowa;

A mid-west state in the United States of America.

I’ve grown to love the land and all of natures’

Magnificent beauty, in my little corner of the world.

Then I left home for work in the city

To begin an adventure of my very own.

Many thoughts still take me to the wonder

Of how my life has been truly blessed!

Born and raised in Iowa, USA

Those Golden Years

Many parents are becoming olden in years,

And it sometimes brings my eyes to tears-

Their life becomes limited in what they’ve done

To raise up their children that are already gone.

It soon becomes our turn to watch and care for them

And we’ll realize then, they were precious as a gem.

Dedicated to my parents

LS and RS, with love-

Please Take Care of Me

In the good days and the bad days,

With the great times and the difficult times.

When things are well and when they’re not

Or when we feel too sick to carry on.

Sometimes I need a shoulder to lean on

When trouble comes my way and yours.

Lots of love will keep us strong but at

Some point it could make a wrong-

So talk with me and stand beside me,

Through all the days within our life.

For when the final curtain has arrived-

We knew in our death, we would part.

Inspired for lasting love

A Ball

It is round, light, and colorful.

You will touch it and pick it up.

You will toss it, catch it, hold it.

Find a friend

Toss it back and forth, keep your eye on it!

Now-

Maybe the ball has texture?

You can bounce it, dribble it, pass it.

Now-

Maybe the ball is not round, but oval?

You can kick it, throw it, catch it.

Now-

Maybe the ball is hard and heavy?

You can aim it, steady it, roll it.

Now-

Maybe the ball is medium hard?

You can hit it, throw it, catch it.

Now-

Maybe the ball is medium soft?

You can serve it, forehand it, drop shot it.

Now-

Maybe the ball is really small?

You can high-bounce it, wall it, grab it.

Maybe the ball is used in sports?

Find a team

And have some fun today!

Are we talking beach ball, basketball, football, bowling ball, baseball,

 tennis ball, super ball and all others?

Yes, let’s play!
