As the waves come in, embrace each one before they recede so far out, you won't get them back. Beautiful write my dear.

Note: Before any of you worry, this did not happen to me. This is just something that came to my mind like most everything else I have written.

The Shattered Mirror

I wake out of my bed
Stumble to the bathroom I see,
Your reflection, so beautiful
Staring back at me.
Am I still in a dream
Wishing to be with you,
Or am I so in love
It's all I can do.

I pull back and draw a fist
Into the mirror I hit,
Your reflection disappeared
As I felt my skin split.
The mirror shattered
Falling into the sink,
Pieces of my heart fell
As I heard the pieces clink.

When reality bites you
You begin to reflect,
The long distance love
You knew to expect.
The pieces in the sink
Stare back up at me,
With you still smilin
At what could be.

As I felt the pain
Of the cuts on my hand,
Why does it have to be
The distance across the land?
With the blood pouring out
I feel my heart, bleed as well
A bandage won't heal the pain
But it helps to yell.

My hand will heal in time
Leaving behind a few scars,
Unlike the wound in my heart
A prisoner behind bars.
No escaping, from the pain
That I feel deep within,
Why can't love come easy
So my life can begin?

A Childs Bucket List

When we get older and up in years
We think of our bucket list,
What we would like to accomplish
Before we feel God's kiss.
But do we ever think of our children
And the things they'd like to do,
When they become ill, so young at heart
The things they'd like to ensue?

Why, when they are so young
Does the angel of death come knockin'
That they come down with an illness
When they should be rollin and rockin.
None of us know how long we have
Before we feel God's kiss,
So whether you're a child or adult
Go ahead and make your list.

Thank you gentleman, glad you liked it.

Thank you sweetie...I do...but no one close by to give it.

Dee, Kim and Susan..I'm glad ya'll liked it. Thanks for your comments.

And Pam, the butterflies aren't mine, although it would be nice to feel that flutter. These words are just something I threw together. Nothing that has happened to me or the sort like that.

Pammie my dear, that couldn't be any more true than how you put it. Put things in God's hands and let Him do the rest.

That was beautiful Kim...As I see a beautiful person behind that smile.

I see where you are going with this one sweetie. It is hard to deal with someone we love and seeing them being with someone else.

So beautifully written. Such fluidity. You are amazing my dear.

Very sweet words indeed Nicki. You write from the heart as well.

Thank you Micky for that add...it is never too early to share a gift such as this.

Thank you Angel, Gypsy and Micky...I appreciate the comments and no need to feel sad. Not about me...just sharing what others feel as well.

Thank you Tazzy and Cat...I appreciate the great comments Tazzy.

Why the tears Kitten? It's all good.

Thank you Mickey and Jason. I don't plan on quitting. I enjoy writing too much.

Thank you all and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks Eileena for agreeing.

Thank you ladies very much...just something I know that everyone feels on long distance relationships.

Thank you flame...glad you enjoyed it.

YQW somewhat...glad you liked it.

I hate it too...Christmas isn't what it used to be and isn't celebrated for the right reasons. But it does get here rather quickly.
