Poem: No More

No more lies
No more pain
No pretending
No restrain
No more tears
Left unshed
No more words
All left unsaid
No more fear
No hesitation
Must take charge
Release temptation
It is time to change my life
Time to soar
And time to thrive

Poem: Tears of Red

There’s no way I can forget

All these moments ever-lasting
Tears of red forever shed
Fragile heart in need of mending
When I think of those near
Yet so far from me to know
When I think of those held dear
That I lost so long ago
They’ll forever live inside me
Be a part of me through life
And together they will guide me
Past the age of ninety-five
