LOST INSIDE A MEMORY

by Twinkle VanFleet

CloudsofHope

LOST INSIDE A MEMORY, WANDERING HELPLESSLY IN THE PAST-

INNOCENT AND CONFUSED, GROWING UP WAS MUCH TOO FAST.

LIFE WAS IN THE FAST LANE, PEOPLE FALLING DOWN-

INFLUENCE CONTROLLING LIVES, TEMPTATIONS LURKED AROUND.

UNSURE ABOUT TOMORROW, HOW COULD I HAVE KNOWN-

I WAS JUST A GIRL, BUT SOMEDAY I’D BE GROWN.

REALITY INCURRED MANY CHOICES, THOSE I WOULD SOMEDAY MAKE-

CONSEQUENCES WERE SURE TO FOLLOW, UP ROADS WHICH I MIGHT TAKE.

TRAPPED WITHIN THE MEMORY, I SEE A LITTLE GIRL I ONCE KNEW-

SAFE AND CONTENT FROM TOMORROW, OUR FUTURE HAD NO CLUE.

I MOVED ON WITH ALL STRUGGLES, SHE REMAINS PERFECT AND PURE-

I WOULD BECOME WHO I AM, TUCKING AWAY MEMORIES OF HER.

FINDING MYSELF BACK IN REALITY, WHO KNOWS WHERE IT MIGHT BE-

YESTERDAY, A SOUL DIVIDED IN TWO- ONLY THEN THEY BOTH WERE ME.

Heaven

Crushed
by Twinkle VanFleet

Crush
Do what we must

Splendiferous
Love is us

Hardship
Seemingly unjust

Pain
Body and soul

Faith
To feel whole

Loss
You lose

Gain
We choose

Survive
A bitter-sweet divide

Actions
Go forth

Implement
A forgiveness course

Internalize
Hush, hush

Onward,
Crushed.

On This Day

Dedicated To The Marriage Of Don Marino And Melody Anne
April 18th 1998
Mr. and Mrs. Don Tresca

TODAY, YOU HAVE TAKEN HER,

TO BE YOUR LIFETIME WEDDED WIFE-

TO LOVE, HONOR AND CHERISH HER,

EVEN AFTER SOMEDAY TAKES HER LIFE.

TODAY, YOU HAVE PROMISED TO LOVE HIM,

UNTIL DEATH DO YOU PART-

AND TO LOVE HIM MORE TOMORROW,

AS THIS DAY- WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART.

TODAY- YOU HAVE JOINED TOGETHER,

FOR INFINITY MIGHT BE RIGHT NOW-

TODAY, TOMORROW AND FOREVER,

YOU HAVE TAKEN GOD’S SACRED VOW.

A NEW BEGINNING HAS STARTED TODAY,

BY MARRIAGE YOU ARE ONE-

MAY YOUR LOVE BE UNCONDITIONAL,

AND NEVER COME UNDONE.

ODESSA VIRGINIA
by Twinkle VanFleet

 

I NEVER CALLED HER MISSES- I NEVER CALLED HER MOM-

BUT A MOTHER SHE WAS- BORN ODESSA VIRGINIA RAAEN.

DURING WORLD WAR TWO- SHE BUILT B TWENTY NINES,

HELPING US WIN THE FIGHT-

A GRAY LADY SHE WAS, FOR HER GENERATIONS PLIGHT.

SHE FELL IN LOVE AND MARRIED A MILITARY MAN

TOGETHER THEY HAD 4 CHILDREN- AFTER THEY FIRST BEGAN.

JAMES, CRYSTAL, TANYA AND ERIK-

AFTER 32 YEARS IT WAS OVER,

SOME SAY SHE JUST COULDN”T BARE IT

.

SHE NEVER RE-MARRIED, SHE TOOK GOOD CARE OF HERSELF-

DEPENDENT ON NO ONE, SHE KEPT TO GOOD HEALTH.

SHE HAD A POWER OF KNOWLEDGE, A SECRET TO MOST-

AND A WISH TO LEAVE THE CITY- HER DREAM WAS THE COAST.

LEAVING BEHIND THE PAST- AND THE FUTURE SHE KNEW-

TO BE FREE OF THE PAIN, SHE COULDNT UN-DO.

I’LL NEVER LOVE ANOTHER QUITE LIKE SHE-

HER INSIGHT GAVE ME THE WISDOM-

FOR WHAT TODAY, TOMORROW AND FOREVER MIGHT BE.

DESTINY WAS TO KNOW HER- GOD GAVE ME TO HER YOUNGEST SON-

THE LAST ONE TO SEE HER- HER DYING WAS YET TO COME.

ALONE SHE CLIMBED THE STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN-

FOR THE COAST AWAITED IN HER SLEEP,

BLESSED IS THE WOMAN SHE WAS- ODESSA VIRGINIA VANFLEET.
