~I am proud to say that three of my poems have been published and would like to share them with you. *BAS*~
~My first one was published in Feb of 1998 in a book called "Moments in the Garden" by the poetry guild. Mind you it was a very small piece *L* page 26 left upper corner of the book *BAS*~
~Wind Dreams~
~Winds do blow the clouds away~
~too far away to see~
~for in those clouds I do see~
~whats waiting there for me~
~the hopes and dreams of everyone~
~are on the winds you see~
~forever are the winds to blow~
~those dreams on back to me~

~My second poem published, was selected to be placed in the April issue of "Reflections" Which is a Literary Journal that comes out 4 times a year.~
~Together~
~Life is held in our hands
~to be lived and free.~
~To enjoy together~
~Through the storms of love~
~and of life~
~we struggle through as one~
~With trials and tribulation~
~we gather~
~and become strong together~
~One to another we grow~
~and learn~
~as each day passes~
~Until one day we stand~
~hand in hand~
~and know that we have passed all of lifes tests~
~Together we are strong~
~Together anything Is possible~

~The Rain~
~I walked in the rain today
~and all of our memories came flooding back~
~Our time of laughter, and of tears~
~Of joy and of our sadness~
~We spent so many hours talking and sharing~
~So many times you just held me and others~
~Were spent in quiet times of me knowing~
~you were just there beside me.~
~I look back now and realize the loss of you.~
~Wondering what I could have done to change things~
~and then I see how it happened, and see that nothing~
~could have changed it. Life goes on sometimes without us~
~The rain poured down like my tears~
~and washed away the pain of those memories~
~even though they will always be within me~
~I can now heal and remember the best times we shared.~
~The rain came lightly once again as I walked back into life~
~Life I never thought I would ever enjoy again without you~
~I understand now how you were a part of my history~
~and now to begin the future
~Our memories tucked deep inside my heart~
~to bring out and enjoy when I need them~
~To feel your love, or to just feel again.~
~The rain, washes away the tears.....~
