In My Imagination

In my imagination I’ve run
with horses down the beach
and learned from an owl
all that he could teach

In the jungle I’ve swung
with monkeys through the trees
to the music I’ve danced
with some bumblebees

I have read a story
to a baby koala bear
and even did my bananas
with a orangutan share

I went on a safari
without needing any gun
’cause in my mind
it was just for fun

I climbed up a palm tree
to get me a coconut
and in the sand I built
a little palm hut

For in my imagination
I can do anything
and it makes me happy
as I play and sing!

I See

Who you are I see
and you don’t fool me

The monster that you hide
is lurking there inside

Just waiting to be freed
upon my soul to feed

You are my true enemy
full of hate and envy

That does always come out
as you scream and shout

Because you are a bully
which I now see fully

And I have run from you
no longer will you do

What to me you’ve done
and my life I have won.

I Hide

From the world I hide
what is the real me
So much I hold inside
and won’t let others see

For I really am afraid
of what they may think
‘Cause I have dearly paid
when others wrote in ink

The opinions that they formed
over something little I said
Through the click it stormed
and I wished I was dead

Now I live in fear
that people won’t like me
And so it is my dear
I’m not what you see

For this is a facade
that to the world I show
And truly it’s only God
the real me does know.

Thinking About You

My little dog and me
while sitting by the sea

My thoughts focus on you
more than a minute or two

I see your handsome face
my heart begins to race

My love for you is great
and this is more than fate

For you are God‘s gift
from the depths to lift

My life as a whole
 from me another stole

What to me you give
made me want to live

And now I’m your wife
for the rest of my life!

Teresa Marie   8/5/11

 

Something

To love is nothing
what anyone can do
but what’s it bring
then back to you

To be loved is something
that we all wish for
to make our heart sing
and let our spirit soar

But to love someone
and be loved back
means everything you’ve won
with nothing to lack

Love’s the very essence
of all heaven above
 you feel its presence
for God is love!

Teresa Marie
