"I Still Miss You," singing that song to me. It opened my eyes so your feelings I could see. The hurt in your words, the hope in your voice, asking me to make a choice. Anticipation seeping through the chambers of your heart, right out of you. Into my heart your hope found its way and there it made its mind to stay. The look in your eyes, the feel of your touch, makes my heart flutter and butterflies pop up. Now why won't you give me a chance? You said your piece its my turn for mine. I heard that song today, I think it was a sign telling me that finally I'm yours and you are mine. So make your mind up, don't make me wait, if you wait too long it may be too late.
"I Still Miss You"
Keith Anderson
I've changed the presets in my truck
so those old songs don't sneak up
they still find me and remind me
yeah you come back that easy
try restaurants I've never been to
order new things off the menu
that I never tried cause you didn't like
two drinks in you were by my side
I've talked to friends
I've talked to myself
I've talked to God
I prayed liked hell but I still miss you
I tried sober I tried drinking
I've been strong and I've been weak
and I still miss you
I've done everything move on like I'm supposed to
I'd give anything for one more minute with you
I still miss you
I still miss you baby
I never knew til you were gone
how many pages you were on
it never ends I keep turning
and line after line and you are there again
I dont know how to let you go
you are so deep down in my soul
I feel helpless so hopeless
its a door that never closes
no I don't know how to do this
I've talked to friends
I've talked to myself
I've talked to God
I prayed liked hell but I still miss you
I tried sober I tried drinking
I've been strong and I've been weak
and I still miss you
I've done everything
move on like I'm supposed to
I'd give anything for one more minute with you
I still miss you yeah
I've talked to friends
I've talked to myself
I've talked to God
I prayed liked hell but I still miss you
I tried sober I tried drinking
I've been strong and I've been weak
and I still miss you
I've done everything
move on like I'm supposed to
I'd give anything for one more minute with you
I still miss you yeah
I still miss you
I still miss you...... yeah.... yeah.....

Amanda
Your deep blue eyes are staring intently into mine
Your golden brown hair is pulled back in a ponytail you did all by yourself
Smiling so big, it seems your face isn't big enough to contain it
Absently playing with my hair, you dont even know you're doing it
Singing softly a song you just made up
Sitting quietly on my lap, you sense I need a hug
So intuitive and smart, nothing ever gets past you
You cuddle into the crook of my arm, in that way you always do
The sky is the limit for you amazing girl
The world seems to stop at the beauty in which you dance and twirl
I don't know how you do it
With that twinkle in your eye
But because you loved me
I just couldn't say goodbye
Your golden brown hair is pulled back in a ponytail you did all by yourself
Smiling so big, it seems your face isn't big enough to contain it
Absently playing with my hair, you dont even know you're doing it
Singing softly a song you just made up
Sitting quietly on my lap, you sense I need a hug
So intuitive and smart, nothing ever gets past you
You cuddle into the crook of my arm, in that way you always do
The sky is the limit for you amazing girl
The world seems to stop at the beauty in which you dance and twirl
I don't know how you do it
With that twinkle in your eye
But because you loved me
I just couldn't say goodbye

My Hopes for You
This is my favorite repetition poem. It's dedicated to Tianna Ranae and my little girls in Beverly Hills.
I love you girls.
I hope you can walk
with your head held up high
I hope you can smile
At someone as they walk by
I hope you can love
Like no one has before
I hope you get your heart broken
But forgive, and go back for more
I hope that you can see
The beauty you keep inside
I hope that you can speak your mind
And not run away and hide
I hope you can stay strong
And love yourself enough
I hope you can smile through your tears
Even when its tough
Because I couldn't
Walk with my head held high
Because I didn't
Smile at someone as they walked by
Because I never could
Love like no one else before
Because I got my heart broken
But never returned for more
Because I never could see
The supposed beauty I had inside
Because I was too afraid
to speak my mind and not run away and hide
Because I let everything get to me
And did not love myself enough
But most of all I never
Could smile, especially when it was tough
This is what I hope for you
To make better decisions than I
Because before you know it
The time just flies on by.
I love you girls.
I hope you can walk

I hope that you can speak your mind

Repetition Poem
This is a repetition poem. Pretty self-explanatory. :)
I'm still here today
because of their smiles
and the words they said to me
I'm still here today
because their innocence
opened my eyes to see
I'm still here today
because their love calmed
the raging storm in me
I'm still here today
because of the way
they looked at me
I'm still here today
because their hope
and faith in me
I'm still here today
because of her honesty
In telling how much she loved me
I'm still here today
because of their smiles
and the words they said to me
I'm still here today
because their innocence
opened my eyes to see
I'm still here today
because their love calmed
the raging storm in me
I'm still here today
because of the way
they looked at me
I'm still here today
because their hope
and faith in me
I'm still here today
because of her honesty
In telling how much she loved me

Haiku Poems
These are my Haiku poems for College Creative Writing...
She starts over again
Like sand swept free of footprints
After the high tide
Fortress-like mountains
Seem to live in the light clouds
Her favorite place
The small creek gurgles
Like a young child giggles
Not a well-kept secret
The thunder rumbles
Lightning streaks across the sky
Storm inside her heart
Wild horse take flight
Cougar hiding in the bushes
Guard always raised
The bright sun rises
Starting a new chapter
In her broken life
She starts over again
Like sand swept free of footprints
After the high tide
Fortress-like mountains
Seem to live in the light clouds
Her favorite place
The small creek gurgles
Like a young child giggles
Not a well-kept secret
The thunder rumbles
Lightning streaks across the sky
Storm inside her heart
Wild horse take flight
Cougar hiding in the bushes
Guard always raised
The bright sun rises
Starting a new chapter
In her broken life

**Dedicated to you Jessica!
Cassie-
Loyal, caring, intuitive
Sister of Schyler and Gabriel
Lover of handmade notes, heart-to-heart talks
and the innocence of a child's laughter
Who feels comfortable on the court, at peace in the silence
and trusting of few
Who needs the freedom of choice, strength of a close confidante
and the love of a child
Who gives support, an ear for listening and a strong opinion
Who fears the dentist, the future and losing herself completely
Who would like to see everlasting "Olympics peace," children
with full bellies and housing for the homeless
Who lives among the peaceful fields that sustain us all
