New Years Resolution

“This year I am going to do it”
I say as I punch my hand to fist
“I am making my resolutions
And I’ll check them off my list”

“First of all, the house…
The office needs some organizing
The garage cleaning, attic needs clearing
Oh that all just sounds so agonizing”

“Maybe I’ll starts with my life…
I’d love to go back and get a degree
But then there’s homework, tests and essays
And none of my spare time will be free”

“How about beginning with my body…
I need to lose about 20 lbs or so
I can try to eat a little heather
But can I really give up my cookie dough?”

“So I guess I can work on my finances
It would be awesome to get out of debt
But giving up my hormonal shopping sprees?
I wouldn’t be the one to place that bet”

“Now what is left on my list?
Staring a journal, writing a book
Sorting out the pictures, lining the cabinets
And learning to be a better cook?”

“Well I guess I’ll rearrange my resolutions
I’ll need to set out a lengthy game plan
My new resolution is NO RESOLUTIONS”
I say as I punch my fist to hand

Caught You

I know at times he stays up at night
Just to watch me while I sleep
Trying to see the dreams I dream
To discover the secrets I keep

I caught him out of the corner of my eye
Staring at me while I cook & clean
Wanting to know what is in my head
And what my funny looks mean

Again I saw him catching a peek
Spying on my reflection in the mirror
Hoping that all my inner thought
Will become a little bit clearer

It is all those small things that he dose
At those times when he thinks I don’t see
That lets me know how he really feels
And I know that my husband loves me

Twas the night before Christmas, Puppy style

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
The small present was stirring as quite as a mouse
The ribbon was tied on the box with care
In hope that in the morning the other present would still be there

The parents were nestled all snug in their bed
While thought of escaping ran through the presents head
His paws began to scratch as he awoke from his nap
His nose pushed and pulled to lift the boxes flap

When snap went the ribbon making no even a clatter
The puppy sprung to his feet with a soft pitter patter
Out from his prison he flew like a flash
Shaking his head spraying drool with a splash

He smelled something yummy, and run lively and quick
To find a pile of cookies with a note “For St. Nike”
More rapid then an eagles he gobbled them all up
And he drank all the milk that was found in the cup

And then in a twinkling he let out a soft woof
As he noticed all the socking filled to the roof
He ran to the fireplace trying not to make a sound
Then with one swift leap he flew from the ground

His teeth just caught the edge of the stocking foot
As he landed on the ground, coating is paws in soot
He ripped though the cloth, chomping the candy-canes with a crack
There was nothing left to enjoy so he turned his back

He saw all the presents wrapped under the tree
And the little puppy wondered, “Could these be for me?”
So present after present we wiped up with joy
Searching a searching for a fun squeaky toy

Not finding anything there, the puppy decided
It must not be here, then the his toy was sighted
The lights how the twinkled, on the tree so bright
The puppy wanted to catch them, and oh what a sight

The tree came down with a smash and a boom
Then with a flash the light filled the room
And Mommy in her ‘kerchief, and Daddy in his cap,
Were no longer settled for a long winter’s nap.

The puppy backed up to the wall with his tale tucked by his leg
By the looks on there faces, it would be no use to beg
Daddy got closer and closer with his arms stretched out
His face turning red as he tried not to shout

Then without a warning the puppy took off with a jerk
Daddy dove down to catch him but the effort did not work
Soot coved paw prints now covered the floor
Mommy cried out with fury like a lioness roar

The puppy ran through the room over ribbon and bow
Sliding through Daddy’s arms as he ducked and dove
Then he was cornered with not even a chance
The puppy stared at the floor, not risking a glance

Then mommy with her arms, picked him up in a hurry
The puppy shook in her hold, he was so worried
But with no reason at all Mommy started to laugh
As she looked around the room at his destructive path

She smile at daddy with a gleam in her eye
Her laughter so laud, she almost began to cry
Then daddy did the same as he scratched the puppy’s ear
“He didn’t know any better” Daddy said “nothing to fear”

Then they both turned around as they kissed the puppy’s head
With him still in Mommy’s arms they headed back to bed
With sleepy lips Daddy mumbled, as he turned out the light
“Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night”

Please Calm Down Father

Usually it takes some time
To think of a wonderful poem
Putting together inspiring thoughts
To create an art of my own

But my father is not as patience, you see
Every other day he is asking again
To know when I will post a new poem
Like with out these, his day has no end

But Father, you see, it’s not so
I promise you will be just fine
With out my poems you will survive
The fear is all in your mind

Now I know my poems are awesome
And nothing can compare
To the feelings and emotions
That my poetry shares

I know some are so funny
That laughter has never felt so true
And others are so passionate
That time seems to split in two

There are those that are so loving
That only MY words can explain
Like gliding through the soft smooth sky
In a quite and seemless plane

But all the same, you need to know
That you can be quit a bother
Never failing in you requests

So PLEASE calm down Father

Just playing with you Dad. You know that I enjoy your enthusiasm with my one impeccably cool talent. LOL

HALLOWEEN NIGHT

Halloween is a different sort
A holiday all on its own
The only day of every year
Odd creatures come out to roam

Witches and Wizards
Stirring their brew
Goblins and Gremlins
And Werewolves too

The day of the dead
And the day of the scary
Creepy and crawly
And everything hairy

While children dress up
And run door to door
Screaming “Trick-Or-Treat”
And think nothing of it more

These creatures run amuck
Not ever being seen
But the mastiff they cause
Is vivid and mean

Jack-O-Lanterns smashed
And graffiti on the walls
Toilet-papered houses
And heads ripped off dolls

But because adults don’t see them
They all seem to claim
That rebel teenagers did it
And they give them all the blame

So next time you go out
On a dark Halloween night
Be carful who you talk to
In the misty dim lit light

For the creatures of the dark
Will be out on the streets too
They will look for people to scare
And they might just find you

Are you kidding?

So the papers are filled out
And the prints have been taken
All we can to is now done
Unless I’m mistaken

We are now told to wait
To go on like life’s normal
Play one day at a time
This time is not formal

I’m thinking “Are you kidding”
Forget the anxiety we fell
Go on like life’s normal!!
Are you serially for real?

Don’t you get that any minute
She will give us a call
And tell us we have been chosen
Us out of them all!!!!!

We will meet with the mother
And pray that she likes us
We will try so stay calm
And not make a lot of fuss

She will love who we are
And time will go by
Them see will give birth
And our hearts will start to cry

We will look through the window
At the baby that is our own
It will be wrapped in a soft blanket
And we will finally bring it home

So go on like life’s normal
With our anxiety forbidding
I can’t believe my hears
Serially, are you kidding????

On My Blog

I walk up in the morning
With my eyes full of fog
I quickly shower and get dressed
So I can check my Blog

I run down stairs
And feed my dog
Stoping while he eats
To update my Blog

I go to work and wait
The whole 8 hours long
Then drive home like a demand
Then I log into my Blog

I quickly cook dinner
Then eat like a hog
All so I can spend
More time on my Blog

I have gained a lot of weight
Cause I no longer Jog
For I spend ALL my time
Playing on my Blog

My family can say in touch
By reading the dialog
Because I spend so much time
On my 3 different Bolgs

Marriage

Marriage is special and a one time thing
But now a days it's just not the same
People don’t do it or do it too much
But who do you think is to blame

Everyone has an opinion and they differ
It’s a domino effect, some studies say
That is what children grow to know
Their parents divorce and it’s ok

But my opinion is different from all those
I don’t think it is “all our parents fault”
People just want everything to be easy
And they give up too quickly when it’s not

Now don’t get me wrong or miss understand
Sometimes divorce is all you can do
Safety could be a factor or fleeing from abuse
When it comes to that you take care of you

But too many times people don’t understand
The sacred bond between a husband and wife
Marriage is not a “till I don’t like you any more”
It’s means to be together for ALL of your life.

Then there are those who don’t take the risk
Living with some who is not their spouse
They don’t even realize that the risk is still their
They think they are merely playing house

What is it doing to our faith and out trust
When we give up on this ancient pact
We must be the ones to make the difference
Be an example and stand up to act

Be kind to our spouses and patient to our vows
Join in marriage with the ones we hold dear
Trust in our views of a family life
Turn over to God all our worries and fears

Marriage is sacred so let’s treat it that way
Be strong and true to the ones we love
Stick to it through the end and live like we should
So we may be married both on earth and above

My Testimony

I would like to bear my testimony
For I know this church is true
I know my Heavenly Father lives
And that he loves me too

I know we have a true Prophet
To teach us what we need to know
Just like in the times of the bible
He is here to help our spirits grow

I believe in his words
And I strive to live the right way
I have made a convent with God
To listen and obey

I know Joseph Smith was a prophet
He saw the Father and the Son
He restored Christ’s true church
And dedicated his life to teaching everyone

I thank my Heavenly Father
For a Mother who’s love is strong
For a Father who stood as an example
With them I know I belong

I thank him for my brothers
Their straight is beyond my belief
And I am blesses with a loving sister
Who helps me through all my grief

I thank him for my husband
For the love he’ll never cease to give
I am so blessed with all I have
And the peaceful life I live

I would like to bear my testimony
For I know this church is true
I know my Heavenly Father lives
And that he loves me too

She gave your love to me

My child you were adopted
You were birthed by another
I want you to know what I know
About you real birth mother

She loves you so very dearly
But could not give you what you need
She loves you so much, dear child
That she gave your love to me

She knew you would be safe
And grow up in a loving home
Learn of the true and living Gospel
And gain a testimony of your our own

Her love will never leave you
She will never forget your touch
She knew that for you we were perfect
And we would love you very much

You are the answer to our prayers
That were spoken every night
The day we brought you home
We knew everything was right

My child you are blessed
For what you may not know
Is that you hold 2 mothers hearts
For we both love you so

I am the one who holds you
But she’s the one who brought here to me
She gave everything she had
To insure you lived happily

I thank her every day
For the child I hold in my arm
I hope she knows how much I love you
And that you will see no harm

She loves you so very dearly
But could not give you what you need
She loves you so much, dear child
That she gave your love to me

Waiting

Just think positive! Never give up!
These are the things I am told
But the goal that I want is just out of reach
And it seems I will never grab hold

I can’t help but think it might never be
I can’t help but think of the worst
It seem as though my dreams won’t come true
I’ve been shielded with a horrible curse

Now I know what you are thinking
And I know what you are going to say
“Just hope for the best, trust me
I will happen to you someday”

Well someday is too long & too far away
You can’t understand unless you know
That with a thing like this, it is too hard to wait
Too hard to sit back and let it go

Never to know the next painful step
Never to see the end in sight
Never to know if the options you chose
Will turn out to be wrong or right

But yet I keep tying and going on
Knowing that this is how I must live
Waiting to the day when the doctor might say
Samantha the test show a POSITIVE

Mr. Skazoo

Have you ever been to visit Mr. Skazoo?
He lives down the street from Timbuktu TO
Through the river and over the woods
If you want to visit Mr. Skazoo


He lives with is wife Sally Skazoo
And don’t forget is daughters, he has two
A lion and a lama are the pets
You’ll meet when you want to visit Mr. Skazoo


For dinner you might eat Skazoo stew
Don’t ask what’s in it, or why it’s blue
Just open you mouth and take I big bit
You’ll love it when you visit Mr. Sakzoo


You ask how I know Mr. Skazoo?
And all about his famous Skazoo Stew
Well my friend you it’s quit simple
You see I happen to be a Skazoo too!

The little stuff

No more notes at the door
Wishing me a good day
No more home made puzzles
With an “I love you” on display

No more games on the phone
Of how will hang up first
No more butterflies in my stomach
Fluttering until I burst

No more walks by the moon light
Side by side and holding hands
No more learning how he thinks
And of is future plans

No foolish puppy love games
And no more corny little romance
No more giddy moments
And no more living room dances

But no more kisses at my doorstep
For now he follows me inside
No more fears of not impressing
For now there is nothing I need to hide

No more lonely nights
For now he stays the whole night through
No more hoping I won’t be hurt
For now I know he loves me too

The little stuff might change
And the puppy love might go away
But I’m married to my true love
And that makes me happy everyday

This was written to day during my 15 min brake at lunch. Hope you like it... I do!

Welcome!!!

I have not wanted to post all my Poems on my original Blog because I wanted that to be about my family not my poems and when I saw that Trina created a new Blog for her expert advice, I thought that was a great way to share my poems and not clog up my other Blog. So here it is. I hope you like it!

We’re off to Washington DC

We’re off to Washington DC in a day or so
Just my husband and I
To learn our history and all we don’t know
Just a short plane trip we’ll fly

We will see Ab Lincoln sitting upon his set
Library of Congress we can’t forget
The National Zoo they say is pretty neat
We’ll see the Giant Panda, I bet

WW2 Memorial and all of it’s glory
And the Arlington cemetery
The Holocaust Museum, such heart felt story
With all the meaning that memories carry

We will see the Capital and visit FDR
Washington Memorial and others too
Walking all day but never getting too far
Did I mention we are going to the ZOO?

Take a tour of the Ford Theater, which will be fun
To find out what happen and see the site
That very place of the assassination
What a tragic but historical night

We’ll go to the Aquarium and see all the fish
Then bask at the reflection pool
You think I could throw a penny and make a wish
With out looking like a 6 year old fool

Eating at Fogo de chao and little food carts
Spending money like no ones business
Stopping at museums to admire the arts
On some paintings I don’t get all the fuss

I can’t wait to go to Washington DC
There is so much for us to do
Is 7 days enough to see all there is to see
Did I tell you we’re going to the zoo?

So You Think You Can’t Write It

So you think you can’t write it
I bet you you’re wrong
It’s easier then you think
Just follow along

Start with a though
Then simply make it grow
Put the ink to the paper
And let the words flow

It does not have to rhyme
Or even make sense
You can also make up words
Like micro-acupiens

You can travel the world
Or create your own
Become a ferocious lion
Or a talking microphone

Just forget about perfection
Forget all your grammar school
In the world of a poet
You make all those rules

Now clear your mind
Of you boring reality
Open your imagination
Let it go and let it be

Make yourself a poet
I know that you can
Give it all you’ve got
I’m already your biggest fan

The Consultation

So you are having surgery...
It’s no big deal
Just a small little cut
And a clear liquid meal

Nothing can go wrong
Everything will be fine
But just in case
Here are some papers to sign

It’s nothing big
Just a simple formality
A real waste of paper
In all actuality

Oh you want to read them!
Well I guess that’s OK
You can just skim through it
If you need to be on your way

Well this first one allows us to drug you
You won’t feel a thing
Just a huge needle in your arm
Oh, it’s just a little sting

This one just lets you know
All the things we are going to do
Like slicing your skin like a tomato
And pushing lasers through

Now I’ve done this before
So don’t get all upset
It’s like learning to ride a bike
You never forget

So it’s been 11 years
I’m sure technology is the same
The tools might look a little different
And they might have changed the name

But again you’ll be fine
There is nothing to fear
Just sing your name there
There, there, and here

You still seem nervous
In no time it will be done
I could do this with my eyes closed
Oh, that sounds like fun!

Well I will see you tomorrow
Bright and early at eight
No, let’s make if nine
Tonight I’ll be out late

Thank You

A simple act, a loyal choice
A life dedicated to protect our home
A body so strong, A mind so firmI
pride to call our own

Thank You to your Fathers and to your Mothers
Thank You to those who raised you strong
Thank You to your family’s and to your friends
To you is where are thank you belongs

For you we fight, For you we pray
That God will watch all that you do
For your safety and for your return
Again we wish to THANK YOU!

A solder’s armor, A warrior’s soul
Because of you are country stands tall
It can not explain, It can not compare
But Thank You for giving your all

I know you all feel the same way that I do about our solders and their choice to serve and protect us all.
