Waiting

The year
draws to a close
as we continue to
note what we have endured; waiting,
hoping.

Getting Along

Petting
and feeding her,
seeing them get along.
After months of endless conflict,
they rest.

Impact

Time can
make an impact 
on each person's life, yet
we have the power to make our
own path.

Never Leaving

I could never understand why
you compete with her through me,

Attempting to erase memories
through unspoken actions,

Your comments light on the surface,
yet backhanded when the layers

Are peeled back. Even though your
deeds and words are hurtful,

I take comfort in knowing that
her presence is always visible

In my heart, that despite your attempts
to block her out, she will never leave.

Another Year

Looking
forward to more
adventures with good friends
as another year passes through
our lives.

Learning

I learn 
about myself
during every struggle,
for it shows me how to live through
rough times.

Conversations

Thinking
about a dear
friend as the days pass, as
I look forward to our lengthy
phone calls.

Carnage

Carnage
shocks this lively
community, heavy
gunfire tearing families
apart.

Weathered

Our threads
will leave paths marked
with memories, weathered
by the passing of time, battered
and worn.

Remembering

It is
the simple joys
about you that I miss
the most as I remember you
today.
