New Poems

I finally found my poetry book. So, without further ado....

Endless Love

Life can be so hard,
But I cannot forget
There's One who's always there.

He understands my sorrow;
He has felt it all.
I could never repay
All He's done for me.

He has blessed me with so much:
His endless love and mercy.

His perfect love, with all my heart
I never could return.
Yet all He asks of me
Is to "Come," and follow Him.

When I ask in Heaven,
"Why did you do so much?"
His simple reply will be,
"So you could be like Me!"

This one I wrote on July 2, 2003 while I was attending BYU.

Someone to Love

I want someone to love:
to give me heart and soul,
to share my whole life with,
to have for all eternity.

Could you be that someone?
Could you love me that much?
Would you take my hand in yours
to walk through life together?

To love someone is my deepest desire--
Someone to raise a family with.
I need to love someone that much;
I need him to love me just as much.

I want someone to love:
to give my heart and soul,
to share my whole life with,
to have for all eternity.

This one was also written on July 3, 2003. I'm sure I wrote it about one of the many guys I had a crush on. I did that a lot. It was college...need I say more?

Okay, I guess that's enough for now. I will keep adding a few at a time until I have all my old poems posted. Then, hopefully, I will be able to start writing some new stuff.

Memories

I still remember the fun I had Not having a care in the world-- Riding bike and climbing trees, Swimming on hot summer days, Reading in bed 'til I fell asleep. Many times I wish to be there, Filling my days with so much. Then there were the friends We swore we would always be; As we grew, they faded away, But there was one who stayed-- That one I can never forget. As much as I long to be carefree, I'd never give up the freedom: So many more options now, And ever so many decisions. But if I didn't have it all, When would I ever learn? So much to look forward to: Doing what I've always wanted-- Giving and helping so many, Fulfilling my wildest dreams, Beginning a miraculous love. Life is full of such great wonder-- We must remember the past, Never forget the future plans, But always live for today! --July 14, 2003 I was feeling pretty reminiscent the day I wrote this, remembering my childhood. The part about a friend never forgotten is about my best friend who I had growi...

The Picture Perfect Yard

  I was switching laundry over in the laundry room and happened to look over at the footage of our security cameras (mounted on the roof of the house), and I noticed how absolutely beautiful my front yard looks right now. The grass is a beautiful dark green and looks full and nicely trimmed. The palm trees are tall and trimmed. It looks absolutely picture perfect. I found this amusing because I know when I'm outside and looking at my front yard that it is not perfect AT ALL. The grass is growing unevenly. There are bare spots. The palm trees are just about ready to be trimmed again. And there is a giant dead tree that needs to be cut down because large branches keep falling off. Then, I thought how much we are like my yard. At a distance, we might look pretty picture perfect to others, but if we really get up close and personal with each other, we begin to see each other's imperfections and areas that need work. And if we really truly get to know one another, we get glimpses of...

Addendum to "Political Rant"

I was just rereading what I wrote earlier and realized that there were a few other things that I wanted to mention but had forgotten. First, I want to let you know that I know the health care system is broken. I do believe that insurance costs and the cost of getting care are too high, but just to reiterate, I do not believe that government run health care is the answer. I also do not think it is right that insurance companies purposely find loopholes in people's policies just so they won't have to pay for their care. That is just sick and wrong. But again, I don't believe putting the government in charge of things would make anything any better. Having said that, I also know that I would much prefer paying a lot of money to get the care from the doctor I want and the hospital I want than to have someone tell me who I can or cannot see. I also like knowing that if something horrible happened to me or one of my family members, we wouldn't have to worry about getting the ...
