I Don't Want To Quit
I open my eyes
to another day
I want to close them again
make the pain and fear go away
It's my only peace
when I lay my weary head
no fear of loss
no sense of dread
The sun peers through my eye lids
no more pretending to sleep
force myself out of bed
forget my worn out weep
Only eighteen more hours
until I feel peace and quiet
give me the strength today
to fight off the urge to quit
Taking A Step Further
I know it's wrong
what's brewing between me and you
I know I have so much
I shouldn't need to run to you
Touching is forbidden
but we can't keep our hands away
our hearts are fighting
but are about to give way
In all of our confusion
all that we will lose or fade away
we're our only happiness
in each other's day
We know this is wrong
vows have been broken
but now my heart knows
there is love in my words spoken
Love For Him
I'm trying to remember
life when it was still
I can take the endless fear
and of the pain I've had my fill
I think back to the day
when I looked for something to do
life seemed so boring
I seemed to just sail through
I wish for time to pass
hoping an end is in sight
something to build hope on
that there will be healing light
I dream of the glorious day
when I can say it's still once more
when love for him is all that is asked of me
and I wont have to watch him hurt anymore
My Three Sons
Every night I lay my head
the days events roll through me
the one thing I dwell on
is you my precious three
Dylan got in trouble at school
so the talk was in full blare
I wonder if he heard me
or just pretended while I was there
Brandon colored on the wall
for the third time that day
he cried crocidile tears
when I took the crayons away
Tyler cried at a touch
tears coming with every sound
I wondered if I was comforting
or if he'd rather not have me around
Was I too mean
did I not seem caring enough
was my point given and taken
was mommy too rough
I ponder every correction
every punishment I did supply
Did I do what was best for you
did you still see my love for you in my eye
I worry myself sick
to the point I can't sleep
am I the mom you need and deserve
I lay my head in unsure weep
Without any warning
more thoughts creep in
my mind hits replay
and you three are the subject again
Dylan sat down beside me
commented that Brandon was crazy
I burst into a jiggling laugh
when he said he must of gotten it from me
Brandon tried to quietly sneak by
red from head to toe
when I said young man what did you do
he explained he was just making me jello
Tyler needs a diaper change
cried at the disturbance I lay
so a shower for me came
and a sneaky grin he would soon display
As I look back and think
how much I wanted to pull out my hair
I wipe my tired eyes on a drained face
yet a smile was still there
Life can be so hectic
our house is a circus, I can't deny
everything you three do, good or bad
brings the twinkle in my eye
I know a house of peace and quiet
wont happen for quite awhile
but there's peace in knowing you three
will put me to sleep every night with a smile
Dylan's Warm Devotion
I hear your boisterous giggle
smiles shine on my face
you throw your protective word
when someone tries to step into my place
I hear your words speak softly
"you are my mother nature"
my heart beats a soft sigh
my tears begin to stir
I feel overwhelming warmth
as we lay curled up in a chair
I feel we could conquer the world
by just giving in to your sweet stare
I see your blue eyes dancing
whenever I say motherly love will never bend
we've been through the best and worst of times
Dylan, you are my best friend
Brandon's Healing Love
I see you smile
all my fears melt away
my weakened strength
finds a way through the day
I hear you laugh
I can't help but laugh too
the heartache I was traveling
seems easier to walk through
I hear your giddy words
my heart jumps with joy
the frustration wrapping me up
is pulled away by you my little boy
I feel you grab my hand
I can feel the compassion you're made of
mommy's sad heart can't help but smile
Brandon, you heal my hurt with your love
Smile Again Tyler
I see it stretch for miles
it opens the day to new light
overtakes the cloudy haze
makes gloomy hours seem so bright
It can happen in a second
for no reason at all
it picks this heart up
whenever it takes a stumbled fall
It opens up pathways
that seem barricaded forever
it makes this mouth not able to speak
the small word of never
When the pain overwhelms
and I feel I can't be stronger
I turn to look at you
Smile again, Tyler
