‘Twas A Full Moon

‘Twas a full moon
you said to me

“We need time apart
I think you’ll agree”

As my heart sank
to my stomach’s pit

All I could think
was “This is it!”

I could not breathe
and began to cry

Where would I go
just wanting to die

How in the world
could you do this

As you say goodbye
followed with a kiss?

“It’s not the end,”
is what you said

Yet to my heart
seemed you were dead

But seven years now
have come and gone

And our true love
has carried us on

To a happy marriage
as husband and wife

With each other to hold
the rest of our life!

I Have Found

It’s in your arms
comfort I have found

When I’m in need
you wrap them around

It’s in your eyes
beauty I have found

For on a pedastel
my feet you’ve ground

It’s in you words
your gentleness I’ve found

To be so great
it truly does astound

It’s in your heart
my place I’ve found

And it is forever
our love shall abound!

Guard My Baby Dear

Angel of the Lord
guard my baby dear

That she’s in danger
is what I fear

Build a huge hedge
of protection around her

Let no evil thing
against her to occur

This is my plea
to God I pray

That you His angel
be sent right away

For you are charged
to guard and protect

In all good faith
that’s what I expect

And my dear Lord
thank You in advance

For I know with You
he doesn’t stand a chance!

In My Enchanted World

In my enchanted world
fairies are always there

They fly around me
from out of nowhere

Many glad tidings do
they bring to me

Come with different gifts
from each little fairy

They make me happy
when I am sad

My enchanted world is
best to be had

When the real one
brings too much pain

This world of imagination
does always me sustain!

Imprisoned

Can’t keep me imprisoned
in this cell forever
For I will escape
you’re not that clever

 The time will come
that I get free
And then it’s gone
that I will be

You have the control
over me right now
But won’t last forever
this is my vow

Although you tell me
your love is true
I’m not a possession
that belongs to you

Putting me in chains
won’t do any good
My freedom will come
just as it should

For Almighty God does
protect and shelter me
Until the day arrives
that He sets me free!

“Don’t Let Me Lose Control!”, She Prayed

The children screamed. The mother tapped the steering wheel as she waited for the bickering between children to cease. It didn’t. She turned around and yelled at them to stop and grow up. The whimpering six and eight year old continued to pull on the toy they both wanted to keep. The rain pelted against the window. The mother wanted the sun, she wanted summer to return. The children would be passed onto her ex-husband and she could enjoy the warming heat of the summer sun alone, in peace. The traffic was building up on the road and the children continued to shriek. With her nerves frayed she began smacking her hand against the horn.

- Ermisenda Alvarez

“Don’t let me lose control!”
is what the mother prayed

“If I raise my hand
angel let it be stayed!”

As “Be quiet!” she scream
the children shrieked in terror

They’d pushed her too far
knowing this was their error

For pounding on the horn
had gotten her no more

Closer to where she wanted
than the next car’s backdoor

And only by the inches
did she go another mile

Seeing the wreck was ahead
mangled cars in a pile

The mother bowed her head
praying “God, please forgive me!”

Knowing that by His grace
they weren’t involved to see

The horror of those others
at the death and pain

That for a lifetime would
in hearts and minds remain

Turning to her children then
she said, “I love you!”

With teary eyes they said,
“Mommy, we love you too!”
