In Solitude – Short Story Slam Week 19
It is in solitude
I come here to pray
“Lord, give me the fortitude
to hold on another day!”
From Him I beg for
the strength to carry on
When the one I did adore
from my life is gone
Everything to him I gave
but he ‘s left me behind
And now only God can save
what is left of my mind
When it’s our love we give
and they throw it away
Often lost is will to live
steeped in the pain of they
“So, dear Lord, give it back
that I might clearly see
‘Twas not because of my lack
that they have now left me
Give me one who loves me more
with passion’s fire like the sun
On the road ahead before
my life is said and done!”

For all of my suffering friends,
you know who you are,
and I love you each and every one!

Rainy Days – Short Story Slam Week 18

On those umbrella rainy days
my good mood with me stays
If I just close my eyes
and there a fantasy I devise
When my umbrella sprouts some wings
as I fly above all things
Up there in the sky floating
while the ground rain is soaking
I drop flowers from the air
a little sunshine just to share
And up there all the while
on my face a great big smile!

Rain, Rain, Go Away
Rain, rain, go away
I wanna enjoy my day
It has rained for so long
feel like a duck quacking along
I’m ready for the sun’s glow
and the beauty of a rainbow
It has been so very dreary
my sinus’ run, eyes are bleary
Wish the rain turned to snow
watching it glisten from sun’s glow
My mood is like the rain
that pours down on my windowpane
Why downcast oh my soul?
Should be happy on a whole
Since the pattering does go on
my good spirits haven’t all gone
So rain, rain go away
won’t let you ruin another day!

Quacking Through The Rain
I was outside today
standing underneath my umbrella
And saw the cutest sight
well just let me tell ya’
I crossed a mama duck
there quacking through the rain
And in tow behind her
was a little duckling train
A row of miniature versions
giving out their mini quacks
As all through the air
my laughter peals and cracks
Wish I’d had a camera
for a picture of that mother
But in my mind’s eye
I’ve already snapped the shutter!

My Rubber Duck
My rubber duck
can only squeak
how I wish
he could speak
In my bath
does my duck
on bubbles float
until he’s stuck
And I will
then push him
around the bubbles
making him swim
At bath time
he seems real
as with laughter
I do peal
But the time
that I’m done
he’s once again
a rubber one!

My Flesh and Blood
Oh you darling little baby
flesh and blood of mine
How very much do I
love your innocence divine
I promise that I will
always protect and cherish you
And give you my love
for your whole life through
I promise I will never
at you yell and scream
Because my darling little child
you are my fondest dream
And I will not ever
in life your innocence use
To manipulate or control you
or raise a hand to abuse
When you’re all grown up
there’ll come a wedding day
As you hold my arm
before I give you away
I’ll tell you once again
that precious you’ll always be
He better feel the same
or be answering to me!
