greeneggs's blog: "Lifes' Poetry"

Summer breeze through my hair The surface of the lakes sunny glare Sounds of nature all around On the earth or skyward bound These are some favorites In the spring With mother natures full force of life she brings Winter reminds me of sorrows doors You can be happy I truly believe we are the ones who control our own destiny If I didn't move on in my life and go through some pain I would have never found happiness again

Saying Goodbye As I stand here in a crowded room I feel utterly alone Something is missing inside me A part of me is now gone In the morning with my eyes open To see the first light of the day I turn my head to your side of the bed Then quickly turn away Moistness fills my eyes Rolls down my puffy cheeks The covers get pulled up high Underneath my chin I don't want to ever Get out of our bed again How will I say good-bye? How will I live? How am I to go on living? For all that you once did give I want a chance to say goodbye To your handsome face To show you just one more time How much I truly cared And to let you know that when you leave To me you will always be very near In my mind and by my side In my heart and soul You may have left the earthly plain But I will never let you go It's hard to say goodbye To the ones we truly love As they lower your coffin in the ground I raise my head and look around The sadness in the eyes I see The tears flow as a river in spring You are loved past the day you died And honey no one wants to say goodbye It's too hard we will all cry A tear for memories we shared Samantha Small

In the morning I awoke To see a kind of eerie smoke Just above the sheet of glass That god created first not last The sun just rising to bring us light To end the dark and dreary night Lend your ear to hear them feed Upon the bugs not birds or bees Nature's morning noise, you will hear As you sit upon the peer. Get your lures and your pole To catch your brunch That is down below Samantha Small O'Hair

The days have all grown shorter The nights they seem so long My life use to be so empty Like a never ending song I have that special someone He's just not right by my side I need to get a divorce Before he can boast of me with pride It's taken so much longer Than anyone could have planned I just hope he understands I want him, for my man I want to look into his eyes And hold him oh so tight And let him feel the love I have For him all through the night I know my love for him Will not just fade away For he is just made for me In oh so many ways He is kind and gentle Honest and so true He tells me that he loves me And never wants us to be through So if I ever have a doubt I know he will make me see That the love we share for one another Is to last an eternity Some people are never even blessed With the feelings that we share They never feel the love so deep The friendship and how we care I am his lover, his soul mate and His best friend I want to be these things to him Until the very end Samantha Small

The empty chair in your view May be for a soldier you never knew For every soldier Passed on before Wishing they could come home once more So out of respect We leave an empty chair In hopes that their spirts will join us here To remind us that they are gone But never forgotten Samantha Small

To all the veterans You know it's true Without you There would be No Red No White No Blue Written for all the Veterans at Adams Post 553 Toledo Ohio November 10, 2006 Samantha Small

The tears from my eyes fall, like the trees shed their leaves in the fall on a windy day. And just like the breeze sends a chill up and down your spine, My sadness does the same I have pondered deeply for a very long time on what I should do Should I just be content for the rest of my life or Should I try and move on and build a new life for myself without you No matter which path I choose Neither will be an easy one Learning to live without you Learning to survive on my own again Not feeling the protection of a man in my life Many, many things have weighed on my mind But if I were to stay Would it be for the right reasons? I don't know if I am hurting you more by staying? Or if it would hurt you more if I would go. I know how you felt before But how do you feel now Will you find someone else to share your time with? Will your heartache without me near? No matter what I feel that I want I don't want to hurt you in any way I care I don't know what it would be like without you But still… I want to go If only I know all the answers If we could see into the future If I could read your mind Unfortunately I cannot So I am left wondering Do you still love me the way you once did Do you still want me just like back then? Or is this the beginning Of the end? Samantha Small

For every man that was sent away Every man woman and child did pray Every night across our land On our knees With folded hands We prayed for Loved ones to come home To convey these thoughts I write you this poem Our hearts are filled with love and joy For every man And every boy Every woman Every girl No matter what the age when you did leave An adult is how you returned to thee You traveled far away from home Into dangers well unknown For every man who served I say We take pride in You And the USA This poem was written for American Legion Adams Post 553 in Toledo, Ohio for their Father Son dinner and USO Show Samantha Small 2006

I have gone on to a better place You have laid me down to rest Do not shed tears for me I will come and visit you Be there in your time of need When I said I was your friend until the end I meant eternity So do not be afraid to talk For I will still listen too I want to be there through good and bad Just like a friend should do I will be here till it is your time To join me in this wonderful place No stress here, no pain Just millions of people with smiles upon their face So I will be here for you No matter where you go No matter what you do I will be your conscience And I will guide you through So do not shed tears for me I am happy once again Happier then you realize For I am still your best friend

Mother always told me to open up my soul No one can have a friend then ever let them go To make new friends is a gift Not everyone can share So I must be more special than I thought For I have all of you friends right here. Keep writting Luv Ya Samantha
