Leap of Faith
Lately, all I want to do is write as the words
roll around in my brain..
Like a spider I spin webs with my words…
The more that I write the more I wanna say…
Figures… I love to talk anyway…
Learning to relax and just let life flow
I’ll let you know how that one goes…
Your in my thoughts
Your in my dreams
I wonder what all this means…
I leave all my fears behind me
and roll into the light, because one day darn it,
I’m going to get it right..
I will meet my match.
You see, because my heart is open.
My fears are gone all I have to do is
pick the right one…
A Leap of Faith I must take because if not, that would
be a big mistake..
Someone to share my life with who totally
gets me who understands
that I am a one-of-a-kind. There’s nobody like me.
I’m an original, that’s for sure
the one that sees that is the one for me.

David Dear Friend
A note to say I miss your smile the sweetness of your face..
memory of childhood days your death could not erase..
You showed the world your courage and faced the great unknown with no loved one beside you… you did it all alone…
Watching you grow weaker as days and years passed by
made my heart so heavy,make me ask god why.,,
I guess there is a reason for taking one so dear heaven needs an angel, please keep him safe and near.
Note: I wrote this poem at the age of 19 when David passed away due to Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
We were best friends, this poem has been published.
Broken
The little pigtail girl with the broken legs.. That was me…
Braces, Crutches & Therapy…
Braces so heavy you couldn’t lift your legs…
I walked so slow slugs would stop and laugh…
Crutches so slippery. I’d end up on the floor.. Laughing usually…
Therapy that’s a different story it never helped me..
Tons of surgeries I felt like a Guinea pig…
Being a teen was hard being boy crazy and all…
Boys liked me until they saw me walk…
That was the end of that…
I’ve made up for lost time…
Trust and believe…
As a woman I am strong in spirit and filled with life…
Gone are the braces -crutches therapy and yes surgeries…
Now I’m left with pain & misery from everything that had been done…
Sometimes I wonder if it had been worth it as I look at my scars..
They remind me of the life I have lived and who I am now…
I wouldn’t want to be anyone else scars and all…
I’m the same little girl with the broken legs…
Only now I see everything happens for a reason…
I’m supposed to be this way….
Wheeling through life teaching little girls like me..
That they can be and do anything all you have to do is believe…
