Happy Valentines Day to you and yours! I wrote this poem about me and my husband!
True love
It must be
From above.
It’s like no other
It’s been almost 23
Years and that almost
Brings me to more
Tears.
We’ve been through
So much.
But we love
Each other so!
I’m so lucky to
Have a guy like him
What would I do without
Him?
I do not
Know!

Today is my mom’s birthday even though she really don’t remember it! I started this blog because I wanted to share about my experiences and challenges that we face because of Alzheimer’s disease! I hope I can help someone else who might be facing this also! I wrote this poem! Have a great day!
You only have
One mom in
Your life and
Strife!
I have the best
Of all the rest!
She might not
Know that
I love her so!
But she has been
With me since!
I was born
She has seen me at
My worst
And best.
Since I was a
Baby
And many more!
She has seen me through
And when I was feeling
Blue!
Now that’s she’s older
Things have been changing!
I have to take care
Of her!
Instead of like before!
It might not be easy!
But I don’t care!
She is my mother!
Like no
Other!😀🌼

I wrote this poem. It’s a true story that happened last week in my hometown of Albion New York. I hope you have a wonderful day!🌼😊
He was just a man
Standing there
But nobody really cared!
He looked so sad when
I looked at him.
We were driving in our car
And I couldn’t help but
Look.
He was holding a
Sign.
Will work for food!
But what could I do?
So we drove by him
And got him a
Meal
At least tried
To help him!
As much as we could!
Maybe we did some good!
Good!😊🌼
Also I reached 100 followers. Thank you for continuing following my blog. I love and appreciate all of you so much!
Today I really feel like giving up my blog. I know all of you have felt the same way at some point in time. I really hope I am helping someone out there who may be struggling. To be honest I haven’t been feeling very good and I don’t know what is going on. So I’m trying to do my very best. I just started this and I still have a lot of work to do to better this. I have a great deal of questions. I really hope you are enjoying my posts! Any suggestions you have would be appreciated. I wrote this poem and I hope you like it. I really enjoy sharing with all of you! I guess I just got to keep moving forward!😊🌼
When I was a
Little kid. I wonder
What I did?
It’s funny how
Life goes by !
In a blink of a eye!
You don’t even realize it
Til it’s gone.
Sometimes I long for the day
When I used to go out
And play!
And do things that were
Fun!
Like run around and just
Be a kid!
It seems like so long ago!
When the things were
Slow!
So here I am at
Middle age
And think back to
The days of
Long ago!🌼😊
I wrote this poem. We are all so busy let us all remember the true meaning of Christmas. I hope you all have a great day! 😊
Christmas
A day to celebrate
Christ’s birth
Who came to
Earth
To show his way
Everyday.
We should always
Remember the
Precious gift
He is and trust
In him no matter what
And love others.🌼😊
This poem is about my best friend Tracy who died two years ago . We had such a special friendship together and I still miss her everyday. Maybe you can relate and cherish those relationships with your best friend. Have a wonderful weekend.
It’s been almost
Two years but
That still brings me
To many more tears.
I really miss my dear
Friend who has been
With me to the end.
There’s so much I could
Tell her.
And share with her
But I know she is
Watching over us and
She’s there in the air.
And the flowers that
Bloom
She’s there with you
And I know I
Will see her again
Someday.
So that just makes
Me pray more
Everyday.😊🌼
I wrote this poem a couple of years ago. Sometimes we feel like we are alone but God never leaves us or forsakes us. I was going through a lot in my life and felt very lonely and upset. Maybe you can relate. I hope it helps someone out there. Have a great day!
This has been a long time
To see you shine
Where are you ?
Your there somewhere
I got to trust
In you to
Help me through
I know you can do
All that you say
Cuz with you
There’s a way!
To trust in you
Trust in you
Even when I don’t see
It!
Your there carrying me
Along the way!
Everyday!😊🌼
Trust in the Lord with all they heart lean not on Thy own understanding acknowledge him and he shall direct they paths.
Proverbs 3 5-6
I wrote this poem. I hope you like it. I hope you are enjoying my blog and it touches you in some way. I’m working on making it better. I appreciate all of you so very much. Have a great day!
Life
We never know
How much time
We have left.
We could be here
One day.
And gone the
Next.
We just never know.
So
It’s so important to
Love the people
Who love you and
Tell them often
How much they
Mean to you
So they won’t be blue.
Be thankful for
All the times you
Shared.
With each other
Because you never know
If you will have
Another.😊🌼
I wrote this poem. My mom has Alzheimer’s disease and it’s so hard to think about one day she might not no who I am. So I wrote this with tears running down my face. I pray for her healing ! I hope this helps someone out there who also is facing this with a friend or family member! Have a great weekend.
I want to make
Her a memory book
So when she looks
She will remember
Me.
How can I keep All
Of her memories
In a book of
My life and strife.
It cuts me so deep
It almost puts me to
Sleep.
I know she cares
Somewhere.
I want her to know
That I love her
And I will never
Forget her
Cuz
She’s my mother
And nothing will
Ever erase that!
Nothing!😊🌼
I wrote this poem. I hope you like it. Have a great day!
I just want to be me
So I can be free
It doesn’t matter
What others look like
I just want to be as
You made me.
We all try and try
And I don’t
Know why?
Because you care and
Love us all
From above!
So we should just
Be happy
Who we are
And never try
To change
For anyone.😊🌼
Today I thought I would write about how you think my blog is going with you. I hope you are enjoying my posts as much as I am. I’ve enjoyed sharing with you and I’ve really enjoyed reading all of your posts too. I thought I would ask if you like this blog as much as I do writing them?
I’m really new to this so I want to make sure if I’m doing a good job at this is all very new to me. So I thought I would ask you your input on how you think I’m doing? I would like to get your feedback whether good or bad ? I want to do the best for everyone. If I can help one person than it will be worth it.
I am looking forward to the Christmas season and I am awaiting the arrival of my new grand daughter any day now. So please keep my daughter Becca in your prayers. I appreciate all of you so very much. I hope you all have a wonderful day.😊
Have a great day! 😊
People are different
In all ways or another
Some are real quiet and
Some are real loud
That makes all
Unique.
Because that’s the way
God has made us
In a very special way
There’s nothing else
You can say is
Thank you for the way
That you made us.!😊🌼
I hope your enjoying this blog! I have been really enjoying sharing with you. It helps me a great deal. This time of year is so busy for all of us it’s nice just to relax and write! Have a wonderful day!
I got to smile
Even if it hurts
You got to be positive
That’s how you live
There is no other way
To say
You have everything
In place so
All I can really do
Is trust in you!
To help me
Make it through!😊🌼
I wrote this poem! I hope you like it. Enjoy your weekend!🌼😊
We all need to cherish
the good days
That we have
When they are
Special
We don’t know how
Long they will
Last and be
Thankful always
No matter what
We have
Because it can
All change from
Day to
Day! 🌼😊
I hope your enjoying these posts as much as I am! I wrote this poem about making decisions which sometimes is so hard . Have a wonderful day!🌼😊
Decisions decisions
Are hard to make.
Don’t know what
To do
Or say
Please can you
Show me the way
I pray
That you help me
I don’t know
What else to do but
Trust in you to
Make it through!😊🌼
Sometimes we are hard on ourselves but we should be proud of what we do and who we are no matter what it is! Have a great day!😊
I should be proud
Of myself
No matter
What I do.
I may not have a
Big career
Right now
Don’t get me wrong
But I am strong.
Even when some
Days are long
I care for my
Family and the ones who
Love me
So that
Really only
Matters to
Me.!😊🌼
Good morning! I hope you all have a fantastic day! I wrote this poem. We all need a miracle in some way whether it’s financial physical or emotional and he knows and he cares! I pray you get your miracle today! Thank you for sharing it really means a lot to me.
We all need a miracle
In one way or another
Some it will be easy and
Others it will be hard.
But all we need is to
Have faith and believe
In what you say
And pray.
For something to happen
Just like the
Fallen snow.
You will let us know
That your there in
The clear blue sky
And the time
We have to share
On this earth
And it will be worth
Everything that you’ve
Done
For us!🌼😊
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a good Holiday! I did and it was nice to be with my family! Thankful for all the many blessings God has given me. I wrote this poem. I hope you like it!
I’m sorry
How can
I make it right
To you.
So you will
Forgive me.
It tares at
My heart
When we are
Far apart.
I hate to feel
Like this
I need a kiss
From you
To make it right
When you are
By my side
I feel like I
Can do anything
And I can take it
In stride
Forgive me please
As I’m on my knees
Waiting for you.!😊🌼
.
I wrote this poem. I hope you like it and are enjoying this blog as much as me. It really means a lot to me to be able to share with all of you! I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families. 😊
This week
Is Thanksgiving
So we all need to
Be thankful
For all the
Many blessings
That he has given us
Sometimes it’s hard
And we can make
A fuss
But all we can do is
Look around and
We can find something
To be thankful about
Maybe it’s something
Little or maybe it’s
Something to scream about
But we should find
Something
To be
Thankful about.😊🌼
I wrote this poem. I hope you like it. I am getting ready for Thanksgiving. My whole family’s coming to our house. So I’m going to be busy. We got snow here in New York. I hope you all have a wonderful day. 😊
Everyday we are
On a course.
Some days it’s easy
Some days it’s hard
But you lead us and
Guide us
In the way you want us
To go.
Sometimes it works out
The way we planned
And sometimes
We wonder?
Where you are?
And we wonder
Why this is happening?
But all along the way
Your there every step of
The way!
No matter what
You care.
And love us all
The same.😊🌼
I wrote this poem because I’ve told you about my mom but my dad has been with my mom through everything. And he deserves a lot of credit because he helps her so much and he is very sick himself with major health issues. I have been so blessed to have two incredible parents. I hope you like it and I hope you have a wonderful weekend. 😊
My dad
When I think
About him
It makes me
Want to grin.
He is a quiet
Guy.
But he tries
He takes good care
Of her.
Even when it’s
Very hard.
And long
Don’t get me
Wrong
He cares so
Much for her
And he needs a
Gentle touch
From you
Too.😊🌼
I wrote this poem. I feel like sometimes we try and figure things out and sometimes it just doesn’t work out. And we get frustrated and wonder why. I bet some on you can relate today. Have a wonderful day.😊🌼
Just when I
Think I have
Everything figured out
More things come about
Don’t know why?
But at least I
Try!
It just keeps
Going, going, going
To the very end
There is nothing
I can do
But trust in you
Along the way
There’s no more
That I can say !😊🌼
Trust in the Lord with all they heart lean not on Thy own understanding acknowledge him and he shall direct they paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
I wrote this poem. I hope you like it. It really helps me to share with all of you. Have a great day. 😊
Little things
They mean
A lot to us
Sometimes we think
People don’t care
But they do
Even when it’s
Something little
It can really mean a
Lot to someone
So cherish the
Little things cuz
They can mean
The world to
Someone
Even if you think
It doesn’t matter
It could to someone
You just don’t know
Even if they are
Little things. 😊🌼
I wrote this poem a couple of years ago. I hope you like it. Have a wonderful day.😊🌼
Give me a
Servants heart.
Oh Lord
Like never
Before
I can feel you inside
Me trying
To guide me
In the way you
Want me to go
You will let me know
Where it is
I want to
Live for you
Everyday
There is no other way
What else can I
Say except
I love you.🌼😊
I wrote this poem. It really helps me to share and I hope I can help someone else who needs it . Have a great Monday.😊🌼
I miss her
I miss her
It’s not fair
That I care
she’s my Mom
And the lady who
Has been with me my
Whole life
And strife.
It’s to much to bear
And take it all in
Since I was a
Little kid.
She’s been there
For me now
She can hardly
Remember me
I don’t want her
To forget all the
Good times
It’s so hard
I want to guard her memory
Of me.
I love her so much
She needs a
Sweet touch
From all of this.🌼😊
I’ve decided to write about what is going on in my life lately. I have really enjoyed writing and sharing with all of you. I hope you have enjoyed it too. I am truly grateful to all of my followers and encouragement that you have given me. It means a lot to me. I have never did anything like this before so I’m just learning.
My mom is about the same and she can still do some things. I am very grateful for that. Every day brings more challenges but we are trying our best. This disease changes from day to day. I know I have to prepare myself for things that are coming but it is very hard sometimes.
Also I have been thinking about going back to college and taking another math class and finally get my Human Services degree. It’s been such long road for me and I really want to finish this. I have been considering going into something in the medical field. I have always thought about doing something in the medical billing and coding field but I’m 51 years young and I’m just not sure what I want to do yet. It’s so hard to figure out sometimes. I have always just done childcare and worked in several pre schools over the years so this is a big change for me. There are many job opportunities out there for that so it might be a good fit for me.
Sunday we are having a baby shower for my daughter. She is having a little girl so this will be my fourth grandchild. I’m real excited and nervous for her. I have two grandsons and one grand daughter now. I love them and love being a grandma.
I just wanted to share this with you. I love blogging and I hope you are enjoying it too. Have a wonderful day. 😊🌼
I’m enjoying sharing with you. I hope you like it I wrote it. Sometimes we wonder why things go on but we have to know that everything happens for a reason. Have a great day! 🌼😊
Why do things have
To be
So hard.
I don’t
Understand
But you know
When it’s time
To go
I try and try
But don’t know why
I just have
To trust in
You!
I can make it as
long as your by
My side
And take it
In stride.😊🌼
I wrote this poem. I hope you like it. Have a wonderful day.
Time
What is it?
I don’t know
A moment in time
24 hours go by so
Fast
You don’t even
Realize it
Til it’s gone
You should cherish
Everyday cuz we
Never know how much
Time we have left
Spend as much time
With the people
You love and
Cherish every minute!😊🌼
I wrote this poem. I hope you like it. I am really enjoying this blog and thank you for viewing it. It means a lot to me. Have a wonderful weekend.
Sometimes I wonder
Where you are
I know you are
Somewhere?
I can see you
In someone’s smile
Or laugh
I know your there
When I look out and
See the sun shining
and the
Beautiful blue clouds
I know your there
When I see the
Flowers and birds
In the air
It’s so amazing
Your everywhere !😊🌼
I wrote this poem last year. Sometimes we don’t understand what to do and we try our best. I’ve been discovering that God has everything in his hands and he takes care of us. 😊🌼 I hope you like it and it helps someone.
I’m at a cross roads
And I don’t know which
Way to turn
What way should
I go?
Which way
Should I
Turn next?
I don’t know?
Please show me what
You want me to do
Help me!
Do what you want! 😊
I wrote this poem about a year ago when I was let go from a job. It was very unexpected but I know it was really for the best. Maybe you can relate somehow it still hurt a lot. I hope this helps someone who is hurting today.
There will be one less chair
But nobody will care
They won’t even remember that I was
There
It’s a shame you try your very best
But it’s never good enough
They will go on just like before
But I am hurt even though
No one
Really cares.😊
Thanks for letting me share. It means a lot to me.
Happy Halloween!
Pumpkins are from the squash family and they get their orange color from carotenoid pigments including beta cryptomanthin alpha and beta carotene. All of which are pro vitamin A compounds converted to vitamin A in the body.
1. 5 billion pounds of pumpkins are produced each year. The top states are Illinois, Indiana ,Ohio,Pennsylvania and California
Most parts of the pumpkin are eligible including the freshly shell the leaves and even the flowers. Pumpkins are popular for Halloween and Thanksgiving.
The smaller sweet pumpkin or pie pumpkin is the best pumpkin for cooking.
90 percent of pumpkins is water.
The state of Illinois grows the most pumpkins in the US.
Pumpkins are a fruit.
I found this information in the Wikipedia.
Fall
The Fall
All the leaves are coming down
Falling falling
The winds shifting and the crisp air is
Coming
Just like the seasons change we change
All the colors are coming down
Can’t stop it
Just have it see it.
Can’t Believe it.
I wrote this poem. I woke up this morning to snow in New York but I love the Fall weather. I hope you have a great day.😊
This poem I wrote and I hope you all have a fantastic day. I’m over whelmed by everyone liking my poems. I never shared with anyone.
Mirrors
What do you see
Looking back at you
I do not know
Sometimes you don’t see what you want
You might see something that is not so
Good
You just never know
Or other times it might be a really good day
And you might see a big smile
Looking at
You.😊
I wrote this poem last year in July. I hope it helps someone.
Doctor visits hospital tests
when is going to end my pain
I’m feeling
Only you know the answers
Dear Lord
Through all this you only make me
Stronger
I got to keep holding on to you
There’s nothing else I can do
With you by my side
I take everything in stride
And try to enjoy the ride
I know this is for someone
That’s hurting and feels like there is no
End with God on your side you can
Begin to mend.😊
This poem is about my mom I wrote it. Please remember her in your prayers. It really helps me to share !!😊
She’s slipping away
Away
And all I can do is pray
She’s my mom
And I love her so much
But right now
She needs your sweet touch
It’s so hard
To understand
That someday soon
She might not remember me
And it really makes me want to flee
But I can’t really I just have to bear it
And try my best to make it through
All I can do is hold back the tears
This woman who has been with
Me all of these years
I wish it would just go away
But really all I can do is pray everyday.
Tomorrow I am going to walk for Alzheimer’s disease to raise money for research. I thought I would share a few facts about this disease.
1. Alzheimer’s disease is the 6th leading cause of death in the US.
2. Every 67 seconds someone develops Alzheimer’s disease.
3. Women in their 60’s are 2 times more likely to develop Alzheimer’s over the rest of their lives than breast cancer.
4. 55.000 people living with Alzheimer’s in Western New York.
Have a great weekend!😊🌼
Today I want to share with you just how frustrating it is and has been for me to look for and find employment. I have gone to I can’t tell you many interviews and I have been very disapponted. If you are facing that I know how you feel because I have been through that too. I hope this helps someone today. I wrote this poem.
Apply apply
Wait for the answer
Start again try try
Do it over
It’s so frustrating
But I have to keep it up
Somewhere there is the perfect job for me
Somewhere
God paints the sky
Everyday with new colors and things
To help us know that he is with us
There are blue skies and yellow suns
To get our attention and white clouds and
We know that our creator lives in
The flowers that bloom and the birds of
The air!! These are All things even though
They are little they make a
Big significance
In our daily lives.
I wrote this poem I hope you like it. 😊
Sometimes we go through things in our lives and it involves a lot of waiting. I have gone through many things and I wrote this poem one day when I was real upset because of my long wait. I hope it helps someone know that they are not alone.
Sometimes I want to cry
But at least I have tried
So many times
Im not giving in even though
I’ve been through so much
I know you will answer with just sweet
Touch
You go before us and make our paths straight
Even though we have to wait.
Wait on the Lord be of good courage and he shall strengthen your heart wait I say on the Lord. Psalms 27:14
.
Happy Monday! I hope you all have a great week!
The days keep ticking by slower and slower
It’s time for a change somewhere
But where do I turn?
I turn to you my saviour
Cuz you are the only one who
Understands
It’s so much to take in
I just have to trust in you and not give up
When the storms of life come flooding by
Just have to keep going going going
To the end.
I wrote this poem! 😊
I would like to thank Betcha didnt know for nominating me for this challenge.
I hope you are enjoying these posts as much as I like writing them. I hope you all have a great weekend! Enjoy the Fall weather. I am trying my very best.
Today I went to visit my mom and dad and I have always enoyed going over there to see them. Now since my mom has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease it’s not as fun anymore. In fact it’s a little depressing for me. My mom just isn’t the same and it breaks my heart in two. I try and be strong for my dad but inside I want to scream, cry and yell at the top of my lungs.
I miss her so much and I really miss all the good and special times that we shared together. Now I just spend the day with the television on and I watch my mom fall in and out of consciousness. It is very difficult to watch someone that you love go so down hill so very fast. She once held a job, drove herself around and she always cooked and cleaned and took care of her family. She really taught me everything I know through watching her all these years. Now all we can do is watch her struggle.
This disease just takes everything that you have and it rips you apart. It’s so hard to watch this take place especially when it’s someone who has been with you your whole life. Its very devastating on you and your entire family. My brother hasn’t seen my mom in a few months so he better prepare himself for what he is going to see. I know it’s going to be hard for him too. He will be coming to visit on Thanksgiving. I only have one brother.
It’s like she’s totally different not just in one way but in many. I almost don’t want to see her because it’s so extremely difficult to take it all in. My poor dad is so very patient with her and he is very sick most of the time too. God bless him! My mom and dad have been married for 57 years and that’s a real accomplishment in today’s society. I just got to take one day at a time I guess and hope and pray for the best. That’s all I can really do. I just hope someday they find a cure for this terrible disease.
.
I Wrote this poem a couple of years ago. My oldest daughter Rachel was living in Nevada with her family. I didn’t see her for 4 years and it was very hard. Now she has moved back here with my grandchildren and I get to see them. That’s such a blessing now! Im sure some of you can relate! Have a great day!
I miss you little girl
Where did you go?
I know you are there somewhere
If only I could see you again
Oh how I wait for the day
to touch you again
And hold you for a while
It’s been so long
I really need to be strong
But I am your mommy ….
And I always will be
There is just no other way
To say I miss you and I Love You!
Today I want to write about my best friend who passed away with a brain tumor almost 2 years ago. I still miss her very much. Maybe you have a best friend too that you would like to share about. Feel free to share about your friend.
What is a Friend?
It is someone that you care about and talk to about anything. They are with you through the good times and the bad. I have been so blessed to have a friend like this for many years. We became grandmas together when both of our daughters became pregnant at the same time. We didn’t know whether to laugh or cry!
We met many years ago when our daughters were little girls and then our friendship just grew. I even knew my friend before I met my husband of twenty years. She has been with me when I was going through some of the worst times in my life. She was always there for me. She would always say it would be ok and with her help I got through it.
There were funny times to like when she was at my front door wearing only a slip because she got locked out of her house. Boy did we laugh and laugh. (Lol) We always had something happen when we were together. We made many zoo trips together with our children. One time I remember we got a flat tire . It really isn’t funny but we had so much fun and interesting times together.
I will never forget those treasured memories. One time we went to the Greece Ridge Mall and we spent the whole day sniffing perfume. (Lol) That’s a friend when you do things together no matter what it is. It’s such a special bond. That was just us just having fun talking and sharing with each other. That’s what a true friend is. Even sitting on my front porch talking and laughing with our coffees. That was so special to me so cherish every minute you have with your friend because you never know how long that special time will last. I am saying goodbye to my best friend but those times will live in my heart forever and I will never forget her or our friendship. And I know one day we will be together again and that makes me feel good. I can’t wait for that day so we can laugh together again. 😊
Everyday were on the Highway of life
and strife
We don’t know what way to turn !
But you know!
Where to go!
Sometimes it’s so easy and we don’t know
How to go but
You lead us !! And guide us!!
Sometimes we try and go on our own and we
Hit obstacles on our way and you just let us
Then sometimes we listen to that voice and
We go where you want us too
All the time your right there watching us
Make our own mistakes and loving us along the way.
What way will we turn next will we go
Straight or make a u turn!
Then some storms come and shake us
Around and we have to try and make it through!
With you we can make it a little longer
When your by my side
But we have to take it in
Stride and enjoy the ride!
I wrote that last year! I hope you like it!😊
Today is Columbus day and my youngest daughter is home from school and my husband Gary is home from work too. So I thought I would reflect on my blog. This is all very new to me so if anyone has any encouragement I would really appreciate it. I’m just trying to help other people who may be struggling in one way. I’m just a mother who has two grown daughters and two who live with me. I’m also a grandma to three and one more on the way in December.
Sometimes I feel like I want to do something but right now I am just staying home trying to keep myself busy. I have worked in several daycares and preschools. I have worked with all age groups. This can be a very rewarding job! I do the usual things laundry, clean the house and do the dishes. After my daughter has her baby girl in December I’m going to babysit her. I’m looking forward to that. I really can’t take a regular job right now because both of my parents have serious health problems so I like to be around when they need something. I only live five minutes from them. So it’s very convenient.
I like to write so this is great for me. I hope you keep coming back and I will try to do my very best! Please if you need anything I will try and help ! If you have any suggestions for me I hope you know you can share it! I would love to hear all of your stories too! I will share my life experiences and some poems! It’s my hope that I can help someone! I hope you are all having a great day and enjoying the beautiful fall weather.
Today is National smile day so I thought I would share with you about what a smile can mean to someone. We all need some one to smile at us every once in a while. It lets us know that someone cares about us! It feels good to smile and it makes someone else happy! I hope this blog is helping someone out there today! I’m trying my very best to share some of my life experiences to help someone who might need it! I’m trying to post 5 times a week to get into this bloggy groove. I’m new to this so I hope you bear with me. Thank you I hope you keep coming back I enjoy writing and I hope you enjoy it too.
A smile is a facial expression formed primarily by flexing the muscles at the side of the mouth.
A smile is a curve that sets everything straight. (Phyllis Diller)
Always remember to be happy because you never know who’s falling in love with your smile.(unknown)
1. Practice smiling a lot.
2. Practice smiling at random strangers.
3. Smile with your eyes.
4. Practice good oral hygiene.
I wonder
How my mom is how my dad is
It feels like I go around and around
I wonder
How they are
They are both so sick and in pain
I’m just their daughter
What can I do
All I can do is pray and hope
They are ok and get well again
That they get healed and
Get back to the way
They once were.
I wonder.
I wrote this poem. My dad passed away about 3 months ago and it’s been very difficult on me. My moms in a nursing home and I can go visit her but it’s not the same anymore. I’m trying my best for her so it helps me to write and share. I hope you like it. Have a great day.😊
How do I pick up
The broken pieces
To my heart
It’s shattered in a million pieces.
I don’t know where to start
My dad is gone now and
My mom has no mind
Left to even know who I am
It’s very hard to understand
All the things that are important
To hug and tell the people that you love
How you feel!
All you can do is try and go on
Without them.

My dads been gone two months today! I still miss him very much. It still doesn’t seem possible to me that he’s gone but he is and I got to get used of it ! This Christmas will be very hard cuz this will be my first Christmas without my dad. My mom is in the nursing home and she can’t come out because her health isn’t that good so it’s going to be a very different day for me! Cherish all your loved ones cuz you never know how long they will be here. I wrote this poem. I hope you all have Happy Holidays! Thank you for reading my blog!
There will be one
Less chair
This year even
When there’s cheer!
It won’t be the same
Without you!
It will never be the
Same again!
We will try and go on
Without you!
But it will be blue
No matter what we do!
We all miss you so
Much!
And wish we could have
Just one more touch
With you!
My sweet dad!

I’m very sorry to tell you but I’m dad passed away on October 13th! I miss him everyday and it’s very hard. These past few weeks have been a roller coaster ride but I made it through. My mom is still hanging on she’s now in a nursing home and I go visit her just about every day! I’m so thankful that I got to spend a lot of time with my dad and my mom as I did. I miss him very much and I wrote this poem.
How do I say good bye
To a guy
Who has been with me my
Whole life?
The guy who helped me ride my bike
Drive a car for the first time
The guy who walked me into school
For the very first time
My dad
He’s gone now and it’s so hard
To understand it all
I got to try and get by
I love him so much and I
Wish I would of told him
More
Cuz now it’s to late to tell him
All the things I should of
He will live in my heart forever
My dad! ❤️💕

I haven’t been on here much so I thought I would come on and tell you how things are going. I love the fall it’s my favorite time of year the air starts getting crisp and the leaves start changing! My mom is not doing to good. It’s a daily struggle to try and take care of her. It is a very challenging thing for sure but Iv been trying my very best. That’s all I can do right now. Please if you could say a short prayer for my family because it’s very hard. I appreciate it so much! Have a wonderful day and enjoy all you can ! 😊🌈

I wrote this poem. My days are filled with many emotions. My moms dementia is progressing very rapidly and it’s very hard to bare it all ! So writing helps me. I hope you like it and have a wonderful day! 😊
Sometimes I feel
Like my moms
Guardian angel!
I was sent here
To take care of her in
Her time of need!
I don’t have wings to fly!
But I’m there for her
Whenever!
She needs it
I wouldn’t want it any other way
I would do it all over again
And be my Mom’s
Guardian Angel 😇😊❤️🌈

My parents celebrated their 60th Anniversary yesterday. I’m so thankful for that they stayed together through everything. Some days are better than others but we do our best. It can be a challenge at times. I wrote this poem I hope you like it. Have a great day! 😊
It’s been 60 years
Since my parents said I do
They love each other and
Through it all
Their still together.
Even through the
Tough days!
I’m so thankful
For that!
They never gave up
No matter what came
Their way and to me
That is such a special gift
You could give
Someone that
You love.

I haven’t been on here as Much as I would like. I have been very busy taking care of my mom. She is declining very fast and it’s not easy to watch. Everyday is a new day and a different challenge! I wrote this poem I hope you like it! Have a great day!
One day she will be gone
And I won’t be going
Anymore!
It will be so strange
I won’t know
What to do?
All this pain and struggle
Will just fade away
And I won’t have my mom anymore!
But she will be
At peace from all
This suffering!
All I can do is wait
For her final day!
And know I did my best
While taking
Care of her!
It won’t be easy
To say goodbye!
But it will
Be a end to
All this
DEMENTIA!

I wrote this poem I hope you like it. When your a caregiver you don’t really get much of a break. Everyday is about the same the disease has no Holidays or vacations it’s present everyday! You really never know how it is until you one day find yourself in the same situation! It helps to write and share my journey to help others who might be going through it too! Have a wonderful day! 😊
The life of a caregiver
Never stops!
It keeps going day by day!
You never really
Get a break!
Cuz
The people who depend on
You!
Need you to be there for
Them.
Every single day!
Sometimes it’s very hard and challenging
And other times are many blessings unseen
But you keep trudging
On and on
To the
Very end!

Yesterday I was another year older. It was a good day even though my mom didn’t remember. But I will carry on and take each day as it comes. That’s all I can really do. These past few weeks it’s been kind a busy with my mom having physical therapy and occupational therapy but I hope it helps her some and strengthens her. My days are spent looking after her helping her do her daily routine. It doesn’t get easier but I find ways to cope and writing is one of them.
The weather is starting to get warmer out so I hope we can do some walking outside and enjoy the sunshine. Hopefully I will be getting a much needed break this weekend because my brother is coming. I’m going to take a day or two off and try to recharge cuz I’m getting low. But I wouldn’t want it any other way! I’m glad my parents are able to stay home and be together after almost 60 years. It might be a little inconvenient at times but it’s worth it. As what the future holds I’m not sure just taking one day at a time. Thanks for listening and I hope you have a wonderful day! 😊

My days are spent taking care for my mom. I don’t regret it at all I wouldn’t want it any other way. It’s just heartbreaking to take it all in but I do my best. It helps to write and share with all of you. I wrote this poem and I hope you like it. Have a wonderful day! 😊
The mother I once knew
Is gone!
Far away away
She has dementia
And has become like
Someone I don’t even know!
It’s hard and all I can do is
Hold back the tears cuz all
Those years are gone!
Long gone!
There’s nothing I can do just
Keep holding on
To what is left
But there’s not much!
Of it
Left!
