It feels like one of those days
when hope lies hidden    behind clouds
that stand in the way

and today I am to weak
to try to push them
out of the way,

but yet         I search
for the glimpse of blue
to come breaking through

while I continue
trying to make life
that much sweeter
for she who wears
her smile so brightly

and her heart on her sleeve
when she whispers to me......
"mom, it will be alright..."

but yet this stubborn gray
cast it's shadows over my day
and I know that the sun
is out there.........somewhere

waiting
for the storm of emotion
to subside
so the light can reside
in my heart once again

but there is no silver lining to see
it is raining for me
inside of a weary soul


continually trying
to wear a smile
and hide the tears
to vanquish the fears

as I cling to the faith
lying obscured
behind those dark clouds

and I know that tomorrow
is yet        another day
another chance
a day to dance

but today
I can only but try.......
to keep on trying.

(revised slightly 6-7-05)


I really want to care,
I want to feel something,
let me dig a little deeper
nah, still nothing~
my give a DAMN is busted. Jodee

Hello sweet Donna..
now you and I know that in order to miss the pain..
we would have had to miss the dance.
Yes, tomorrow is another day..
and the sun will shine it's heavenly rays upon you,
and you will smile.
Love ya lady~

~Somewhere in my heart I'm always
dancing with you in the summer rain~

tenderly touching
earth and sky
words wrapped in
cloud covers
together we breathe

negativity is only a state of mind, how we think, what we believe....if we allow it...
take up that sunshine offering life to you, forget what is there in negative pursuit, perhaps that's what the Bible meant, when it says, learn from the beasts of the field...do the birds worry about their next meal?  No!  They just trust it will be there...we condition ourselves to be happy or unhappy...it's our choice...hugs to ya little ballerina...take a dive and leap of faith, into a new world...

thank you each,  

Lee, that is such a positive thought
but unfortunately it is much easier said
than done.  

Hugs all around.
