Things of the past

Love
compassion
Freedom
laughter
These things
we are all after


dark shadows
come and go
we really have to
let them go


Change is here
its something new
with many things
to see
to come


Like children growing
and when were done
The laughter sticks around for years
sometimes its eats away our darkest fears


I find myself in thought these days
of how to chase away decay
of long ago
and hurtful times


I hate to think
I am outline

I say i have forgiven you see
but if its true than whys it bothering me


The Holidays bring many laughter
These things we seek
I am after


It hurts to know
he has not changed
I think its why I still
have these pains


People say to just let go
But its like when i said
it long ago


that though i will forgive
and try
the past is something
you cant fake the naked eye


My hurt feelings
Drag me down
like a heavy old rusty Crown


I am ready to forgive
and to move on
to bless the life
he lives upon


To show him
who is better
you see

to show him
how much he missed out on me


i will love him
from a distant
but never give him my heart
for braking it
is his work of art!

Our Children

Hearing their laughter
watching them play
puts a glories end too
a sometimes stressful day

checking their homework
hearing them read
sure makes it hard for me to believe

life's going so fast
seems like a blur to the past
wishing these moments could
always last

hearing them talk about their play
watching them tackle enough a tough day
hearing i love yous through out the day
makes me smile at the end of each day

scrapped knee's
stubbed toe's
hurt feelings
and a running nose
a temper strikes and fear sinks in
i hope its only the flu again
cuddling is my favorite time
even if it comes with a whine

Gods biggest blessing is children i say
no matter what they say
children are our blessings each day

put on loan from the good lord above
to provide them with good knowledge and love

to set for a goal
from the good lord above
who gave us this gift
as a sign of his love

So these are poems from my poetry journal.. i just wanted to get my poet page in the works.. hope you all enjoy it. its rusty but i am ready to add the new..

Hidden Treasures

sweet words
comforting voices
good listeners
making no choices

lifting the gray
turning it all blue
these are the things
you seem to do

following your heart
and letting it glide
even though you
not sure of the ride

feeling of wealth
without the gold
knowing its you
my life's has a hold

seeking our words
for each days grace
knowing our words help
the human race

finding a jewel
hidden beyond
what this worlds
been built upon

peoples spirits
free at last
knowing all even
our past

your friendship
has been
like along lost treasure

without it there's
nothing to measure

By Sarah Wood

Commitment Within


Sweet n Tender
Tough n strong
these are the things
that carry us along

Constant Friendship
meaning full vowels
never ending lovers and pals

Truthful and faithful
through thick and thin
these are the things
i see with in

constant encouragement
compromising at times
these are things
that make our marriage wise

fighting through the timbers
life rolls our way
these are the things that make me stay

rolling the dice
playing the game
winning or losing
we're still the same

smiles and kisses
rising with the sun
saying i love you when every things done


picking us up
when we seem to fall
lending our hearts
to the meek and the small

children's laughter
following us about
these are the things
i could not live without!


By Sarah Wood 11/2004

Standing up

Tears
Sadness
Alone in the dark
people thinking your
and evil shark

Hardness
coldness
feeling pain

for people knowing
your not the same

your ideals are
much more steep
your opinions running deep

standing with pride
and following through
for these are the things
i must really do

taking the bullet
with an open chest
knowing that your
not wearing your protective vest

steppin up to the plate
striding for home
knowing that your
all on your own

Picking people up
when they've fallen down
Knowing that your not wearing the crown

Believing in those
who others doubt
knowing that everyone
can turn about

facing the music
even when your wrong
these are the things
am mother Carry's on

Saying no
even when it hurts
knowing that it
might work

taking the dive
for them wont do

these things they do know
because of you

By Sarah Wood

My Grandma

Special tea times
special chats
watering flower beds
and taking long naps

One on one dinners
with only your love

roller skates,
special dates

aroma therapy
with roses all around

making pocket change
picking up cigarettes butts off the ground

lending your time
whenever i want

knowing that its you
i always want

never ending encouragement
never ending love
firm as a rock
soft as a glove

Special treats
i love yous each day


keeps the smelly
doctor at bay

Story's and movies
its all the same

only these things can mean on name
Grammy it says
in each and every way

your the one who brightens
my day
with your endless love
and continues smiles
your the one who's made my life worth while


I love you so much
and i wanted you to know
you had a big hand
in helping me grow

I grew with the beams
of your radiant love
i sure am thankful
for the good lord above

He gave me this grandma
made of sunshine and gold
to always know
i am here to hold!
